  What response would you give to this JW illustration ?

  by troubled mind in

  2. bible

  my jw in laws send us these types of emails every once in a while .

  never is there any real personal correspondence from them and it irritates me.

  i have sent emails back before critiquing the logic of some of their emails.. i will be sending a response to this latest one ,and i would appreciate some ideas .. i know many of you on this forum are so excellant with your words i would enjoy your input .. the first thing that came to my mind after i read the illustration was "i am so glad i am no longer on the endless tread mill of witness logic that has you running forever from scary imaginary spirit beings ".

  Quote:

  The rabbit ran as he had never run before. He ran under fences, ... he even ran through the culvert under the road. The fox ran right behind the rabbit, so close that several times the rabbit felt the fox's hot breath on his tail.

  ------------

  The fox was there to ambush the rabbit, and knew rabbit would travel past the hiding spot. But what was the rabbit doing there? The fences and culvert imply that he was not in his natural habitat and that he was there to benefit from another's labor. Even if the rabbit was just taking a short-cut it was someplace it shouldn't have been enough times that the fox could wait in hiding for it.

  Neither of them should have been trespassing!

  SEARCHING FOR MEN

  by hamsterbait in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the kingdumb misery for august has an item on how to attract men - into da troof.. subsection "searching for men.".

  on the one hand they claim that the increases are so huge (in the mundane sense) that they desperately need men.. i took it to indicate that so many with penises are leaving, they are having trouble finding gofors to do their pedo protection work and witch hunting for apostates.. how things appear different now.. whereas before you were not to associate with unbelieving husbands, now they are suggesting helping him build a fence.

  it was even suggested playing golf, or at least finding out what he is interested in so you can talk about it.. if you meet a male in the ministry you should talk about what he is really into.

  Mental picture of a cowboy easing up to a mustang with a rope behind his back and grain in his other hand.

  What could go wrong? The gate to the corral is open and the smell of more grain is tempting.

  "Easy Son, look what I have for you, you like that don't you.

  The world suddenly gets dusty and loud as the mustang senses the loop around his neck.

  Will the free spirt be broken to anothers will?

  Judge Bans Shunning

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  today i spoke with a former jw i've been in touch with for several years and discovered what i think could be a major bombshell for the wts.

  as we all know, shunning is the most powerful weapon the wt cult has over its members and for decades the wts has been able to get away with practicing it at their whim.

  the us and other courts have permitted them to to use it, even though it destroys families and has ruined countless lives.

  Everybody lies about sex. People lie during sex. If it weren't for lies , there'd be no sex.

  Do YOU Consider Persons Who Fornicate As Being "Immoral"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if we were to accept the bible's view, anyone having sex with someone other than their spouse would be considered "immoral".

  do you still accept that point of view?.

  Remember hearing a nurse berate a construction worker one time.

  "Damnit I said half full!"
