i'm preparing for my exit after 4 years of de-programming myself from the cult (much help from here..thank you) been fading for as long as i can to keep decades of family and friends, but the moment the "real truth" is arriving soon.. i desire to make an intelligent defense for my actions and of course will never get to first base using any resource material that will shut down the process by my blind brothers and family members.. i have collected some resources on my own, but would appreciate help in the following.. 1) child abuse.
2) ngo un docs.
3) follow the money any public records of what the borg spends or invest our money on.
A good non apostate site is Wikipedia.
There you find also a lot of information on child abuse cases. A lot of child abuse cases you find on various newspapers and famous media sites. Just let google search for you.
UN NGO scandal you find in The Guardian. They made an article about it. A few days later the WTS hypocritically cut ties to the UN.
posted on a jw site!.
eleven jehovahs witnesses dead and over 45 injured in honduras bus accident.
.. .. atlantis!.
The biggest free newspaper in Switzerland reports in the headline "Bus accident - Injured refuse blood transfusion." 14 dead, 45 injured.
i agree with the witnesses about almost nothing, but i do think they have the right idea when it concerns the 'soul'.
it is my belief that there is no such entity as a 'soul' that resides in a human being.
the idea originated in ancient, pre-scientific eras.
How can you be so sure and dogmatic about it?
Do you have any evidence the soul or your consciousness DOES NOT continue to live in another world after the physical death?
Let yourself be surprised what happens at your death.
as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.
however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.
i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.
Evolution does not have anything to do with spirits or even god.
Evolution is the scientific theory of the origin of species. It has nothing to do if supernatural forces exist.
You don't need to be an atheist if you are convinced about evolution.
we are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural .
selection to account for the complexity of life.
careful examination of the .
What I got from reading scientific material about evolution is: There is no such thing as micro- or macro-evolution. Only people who don't really understand evolution talk about this. (I read a lot about but I can't say I truly understand evolution. There needs a lot more studying to do for me. However many evolutionary biologists don't understand everything as the more they find out even more needs to be researched).

Not all JWs commit evil acts.
I know many who don't agree with "shunning". And I know many who would never let their child die. One sister who is working ss operational nurse in a big hospital told me that many JWs in that hospital agree to blood transfusion, just secretly.
I think most JWs are not evil at all. They are just victims of thst cult.

You probably have been a JW before. Have you been that terribly evil person before you became an ex JW?

"Whether it be the blood issue (children have died on tables) or Nazi Germany/Malawi...."
I agree that the blood issue has cost many lives. But I don't agree at all what you write about Nazi Germany. How the witnesses reacted during Nazi Germany times is something they can truly be proud of. Most Germans went with the majority and hailed Hitler as their leader and saviour. The witnesses were among the minority who couragously used their mental faculties at that time even if it meant torture and death.
I live in Switzerland and in Germany.
i am sorry for the title but today just took the cake.
after not going to the meetings since august and trying to sort through this with my family, my wife today told me she wants to separate because of our differences over being a witness or not.. this is ridiculous.
so i said- how can you separate from me when the religion you whole heartedly believe says you can only separate for 3 reasons- abuse, willful non-support, or stopping her from her meeting attendance, etc.
I sent you a pm.
does this end with them actually attempting to take over the world as they profess to want to do?
granted, they are "extremists", but can they really garner enough extremist converts to make a run at it?
keep in mind, i have no fear of them.
Of course I am shocked and sad about what is happening there.
History is repeating itself that in the name of God, the most horrible things happen.
Nevertheless. IS IS NOT ISLAM. They are brainwashed fundamentalists who exist also in other religions.
