  JW Grammar is...

  *we are all from different cultural and educational backgrounds, we all experience different circumstances in life, and i don't mean to offend anyone on this forum in any way.*.

  with that said here are my observations, and i want to know what you have observed.. in my experience i have noticed a trend: zealous witnessestend to exhibit the worst grammar when compared to non-witnesses!.

  i want you to think back, or check it out for yourself if you haven't noticed it.. on social networks: compare comments on anything by jws (especially the uber-zealous ones) with those of your atheist or other religiously affiliated friends.

  I am sure in most cases children of parents who are university educated will have similar expectations placed on them. The expectation i believe often creates both a need in the child and a value for education.

  Like all comprehensive school kids my education began in year one at aged twelve. The year was divided in to 6 classes. It was pretetermined even at twelve years of age, which children would go to university .Most kids in the two strongest two classes ( decided in year one) went on to university.I cant remember any in my class who went to university. Now had i gone to a grammer school i think the school expectations would be all students aim for university.

  . I also think it fair to say many good and loving parents have not appreciated how benificial university would be for there children. I also think it fair to say in todays world of ever increacing modern tecnology a good education has become more essential than with previouse generations. It is my hope that more children in the kingdom hall will come to realize this for themselfs.

  In fact i am very optamistic this will happen and i think its a real threat for the W.T.organisation.

  Some people can read music and have played the same bloody tune for twenty years. Some people cant read music and have never learnt to play a musical instrument, but the tune they make is always origional.So ii like to think theres no such thing as a bad post only a badly read post.

  I also guess theres a lot of posters on this board who use English as a second language..

  yes the title of my first post was a little negative " shatterd faith" and the truth is i dont feel like that at all.. its wonderful being in a state of not knowing as it makes hope possible.

  and what i now learn i will learn from within and also enjoy doubt.. so why do i call this post " i am free"?

  because i will no longer allow a tiny few control the direction of my life.

  Thanks guys

  I think freedoom is all about a way to live and think. As a witness i used to look outside myself for approval....what will they like. Now i think ....what makes me happy?

  I look forward to debating some of these issues. INDEPENDENT thinking is its own reward.

  The JW life is good!

  for some people.

  i think of the old man who has no family and lives in a nursing home, and the only time he gets out is when he's picked up for the meetings.

  he lives solely for that.. or people who love routine and busy-ness, people who need to be led.. george orwell wrote that the party is best able to impose its worldview on those least likely to understand what it is that's being asked of them: orthodoxy is unconsciousness.. i believe a lot of jws swallow the party line and it passes through them unharmed, like a seed pooped out by a bird.

  Thats why the W.T can spout so much noncence and change its doctrines. For many witnesses its the life within the organisation and not the" doctrines" that is the important matter.

  the cboe in one of the local congregations said this recently about a questionable brother who was in a car accident.

  "i hope he dies, this could not have happened to a better man!

  1. he is a fat piece of crap who is quick to judge men and women who are fat and makes fun of them.

  The same sincere question i also asked myself.

  My answer is such people are not relazed about there masculinity and need to assert themselfs aggresively against others to feel complete. They are unable to exist through themselfs alone but need attach themsels to the organisation and receive status from it.

  July 15, 2011 "MENTALLY DISEASED" Watchtower article regurgitated word-for-word in 2013 Disctrict Covention

  did anyone notice that large portions of the july 15, 2011 mentally diseased article is being read word-for-word in the 2013 disctrict convention symposium talk beware of human apostates?.

  if you havent already see this thread which contains an actual recording.... the moron in the recording is actually reading directly from the watchtower article... word-for-word... yet another perfect example of information control found in most destructive cults... .

  by the way, did anyone also catch what he said about those who woke up after the 1975 fiasco.

  i was ale to leave the W.T with out resentment to those that shun me or ignor me.( i am not even disfelloshipped) because i see those shunning as having a sickness. I am sorry if it appears aggresive or rude to the shunner, but i really do feel such behaviour constitutes being " mentally diseased". It also saddens me the W.T can create such unhealty and unloving behaviour in the minds of its members.

  You wrote " these bastards have some f++ing balls..." and the rason for that is they hide behind anominity and so are not personally accounable for the words they write..

  This is what really angerd me with ." The Watch Tower Organisation". For an organisation is just a word. it has no feelings and the blame becomes meaningless when " the organisation" is held accountable. i believe in individual accountability.

  The truth is any body who reads those words and believes them is " Mentally Diseased"

  Since when is independent thinking equivalent to disobedience?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jehovah's witnesses say that adam decided to thinking independently and eat from the forbidden tree thus committing a terrible sin-disobeying.

  how is thinking freely equivalent to disobedience?.

  "in keeping with the principle of this proverb, adam acted selfishly and his foolish thinking distorted his way.

  I think independent thinking is thinking. Non independent thinking is somebody else doing my thinking. ( i think)

  Thanks again eveyone for the welcome.

  irondork i am not interested in reading Ray Frantz books but i have heard of them . I am however using my new found freedom to write my own book its called " One six and sixty- nine" and i look foward to sharing some chapters on this site. Site guidelines permitting!

  Actually the title is more for attention purposes and the book itself is humour.
