it seems that all that you apostates can do is attack and call names when others don't agree with you.. so hey, what do we expect from evil doers.. you are not good people!!!!!.
you are bad people.. .
so attack, attack, atttack the apostates.
So, he should be looking (out) for the "light" at the end of the tunnel?????????????????????????
Or is it he we all need to let of steam to look good?????????????
I hate these posts that have a moral message buried in it. Come on, let us all know
Back to my medication...I mean meditation
important questions
is it possible to be totally partial?
if a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?
Finally, some REAL questions! Next time a WTS drone wants me to answer a question, I now have a list they must answer first. Can't you just picture them thumbing through the Reasoning book looking for the answers - beads of sweat breaking out, telling you to wait on jah, etc?????????
I wonder what good 'ol JR would come up with?
LOL! but not too loud, I am still at work (and its a beautiful Friday afternoon - gotta go)

Hey BigRed,
With Nebraska football becoming the "littlered", its great to see a new BIGRED taking its place...WELCOME!
wha't this triple "x" stuff doing here? Dang near set off every alarm at the my company's "gestapo" web police desk! At least put a "raincoat" on that smiley before you send it (LMAO, too)...
i can't seem to change my font, size or color!!
i hope you can, oh there it goes!...hehe!!
anyway, i keep reading about why jw's are suppose to shun us, but it always says to shun sinners, adulters, drunkards, etc.......... okay, i sorta get that.
Asked the elders in my last conversation with them that same question. There is only dead air space on the secret recording I made of it. Too bad, but I will continue to ask that question every time I run into someone who thinks that shunning my wife and I is the proper thing to do. Makes me feel better...and hopefully will awaken their ability to think on their own, at least for the moment.
the watchtower society goons, in a power drunken stupor, are once again caught with their pants down, this time exposing their diabolical plan to undermine and exploit natural family love.. audacious, even for the watchtower, the message of the august 2002 kingdom ministry rings loud and clear to the rank and file: emotional blackmail can force your family back to us!
"after hearing a talk at a circuit assembly, a brother and his fleshly sister realized that they needed to make adjustments in the way they treated their mother, who lived elsewhere and who had been disfellowshipped for six years.
immediately after the assembly, the man called his mother, and after assuring her of their love, he explained that they could no longer talk to her unless there were important family matters requiring contact.
I'd sure like the names of these people that they mention and hear the rest of the story. Also, the ratio of those who crawl back and those who just get more "pissed-off" when they are treated that way and grow further apart. Now, that would be information worth reading....
.
help , half my brain is missing!.
where has it gone, well it's still there it just that it filled with 27 years of watchtower crap and i've got nowhere to put it, after all i can't take it out and put it in a jar, without some serious side effects.. just hope i've got enought brian left to take me through the rest of my life.. but seriously(ahem) how does being fed seriously mind bending "facts' for all your life , from a little baby,effect our brains, and the way we carry on to think for the rest of our lives?does our brian find a way to ciurcumnavigate round the things it no longer needs?and does any extra effort we would need "forget' our past hinder the performance of our minds?is this what a mental breakdown is, where our brain can no longer cope and crashes like a dogy computer?i wonder.. (ok i admit it, i had only half a brian to start with)
Me thinks you give the WTS way too much credit...the last statement I recall from them on how much of our brain we use was about 1 percent (down from the 10 percent the psycho-scientists have claimed). So, that only accounts for point five (.005) percent or 1/200 of your brain affected. I'd suggest getting a bottle of Jack Daniels (or whatever your preference) and have a fun time killling off those brain cells. You'll have more than enough left over to get on with the rest of your life. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but I wouldn't bet on it....
thanks for the support on "theocratic warfare".
if anyone has (more recent the best) documents revealing "theocratic warfare", or any "ok to lie" type references, please assist.
i sent the quotes that were given.. paduan .
So, if I copy my current WTLib CD and send it to you as a gift, only ask for a donation, and try to get you to study the information carefully, would that make me a good dub, an apostate for giving you the real truth, or a criminal for violating copyright law?????????????????????????????????????? Ok, let's just trade your original for mine (I'll just make a backup!)
i am not a jw so i don't have any stories about the organization.
but i would love to hear about your reasons for leaving.
Asked every question I could think of when we first started studying. Finally our study-guide (an elder) asked me, "If I tell you nine things that prove to be true, shouldn't you expect the tenth to be true?" Told him that was reasonable but if just one of those "truths" were proven false, I'd have to re-examine all the others. That's what happened! In my case it was the misrepresentations of quotes made by scientists in the Creation Books, that proved to be the "truth" that was a lie. My examination of the other "truths" proved too much for me to stay. I hate lies, being lied to, and then watching those who should be apologizing and publishing retractions, instead, attack the character of the one's who expose those lies.
Add to that the child abuse cover-up...not that the abuse happened, not that the action taken in the past was totally wrong (I, nor anyone here can change the past), but the inappropriate and complete total lack of Christian love for those abused and those persecuted for the exposure of the past wrongs; the proverbial final straw. I'm out, my family is out, and I'll do everything in my power to get others out.
Back to meditation....gotta mellow....happy thoughts....make a happy post...
i know this is gonna earn me a bad rep.. but i think it needs to be brought up.
i am just playing the devils advocate here.
why should there be a remedy of punitive damages for jw's that bring up the spectre of child abuse when the law doesn't require that ministers go to the law to report?
Yes, that they don't report is the issue. And the issue of not reporting has nothing to do with respect for the law or respect for their God, but its respect for their poctebook. In my final discussion with an elder (taped of course), he stated that if he lived in a state where the clergy weren't required to report he wouldn't. He said the reason was that he and the WT could and probably would be sued. That's plain wrong! Man this subject gets my blood boiling every time I hear or read about it.
