ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith alone...for as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also" - james 2: 24, 26
al capone vs. judge rutherford
al capone gained his power by exploiting the weaknesses of people.. judge rutherford gained his power by exploiting the weaknesses of people.
But Al Capone was a criminal and a killer who eventually went to jail.
I wonder how many people died because of the blood policy? Or how many lives were ruined because of the watchtower? And it continues today, and the casualties number into the millions.
I don't think Al Capone could hold a candle to the evils perpetrated by Rutherford or the Society today.
Great post Farkel!

after i left the jws and moved out, it was weird having all these evenings to myself.
i think sunday was the easiest day to get used to without meetings.
it just made my weekend a bit longer.
Walter, You said it yourself. You've seen the evidence firsthand because you caused it. That is the only way isn't it? Your attitude can bite me too.
You're pretty brave to say something like that online, eh? I doubt you'd survive the experience if you ever said something like that to me in person. You are an utterly worthless lump of vomit. Walter

I don't buy these accusations.
I've seen the evidence firsthand. Your belief in these accusations is not required. You may be surprised to learn that most people don't give a fuck for your opinions on any subject.

Anasazi...act like a good Christian now...be a babe as to badness..you shouldn't even know what the L Word is
You sure? For Anasazi the "L" word is probably "Limp". Walter

But hey, it is your problem.
Who said it was a problem?
We are remembering the scriptural adminition, "Bad associations spoil useful habits."
We don't associate with child molesters or those who protect them.

we are always hearing about jw men that drank too much and had drinking problems.
i remember one of the ministerial servants in my old hall was seen at the liquor store buying 2 hugh vodka bottles.
the next week he was "publicly reproved" and stripped of his bookstudy, deleted as a pioneer, and his request to go where the need was great was revoked.
I got drunk with a pioneer "Service Overseer" a few times, but I don't know if any of the women were lushes.

did you ever notice that, when a dub moves, all the other dubs help?
i remember many a time when someone moved, the person would just pass it around to everyone in the kingkong hall, and they'd all show up to help.
those who had trucks were obligated to show up.
It's called love. We have love among ourselves. It is proper and right for us to help each other for us to save money. That is what Christianity is about.
I'm sure Christians have love among themselves, but Jehovah's Witnesses have love only for members of their clique. If you don't belong to a clique you're finished. They won't bend a finger to save your life. I know it too well - I was in that worthless cult for 20 years. Walter

I get asked to help EVERY FREAKING BODY who moves. Why?? I don't know.
If you're a big strong guy people will try to make manual labor your lot in life. They won't care if your back is all screwed up by the time you're 21. And permenently injuring your back is easier than you think. Don't give in to them. Don't wreak your body just so someone else can save a few bucks. Tell them to hire someone who's insured against such injuries.
In short, don't make the same mistakes I did.

even in our very best of times, we have all had to 'fake' one for the team.. what was your best zinger?.
I prefer honesty. When the ex started telling me to get off my butt for the meeting I'd say "I can't be bothered."

i noticed the website below here on the google ads and wanted to see what type of people were advertising themselves on it.
lo and behold, someone doesn't think too highly of the ones who are looking for a mate!
just read the "general information" section.
That is the most disrespectful and utterly cruel thing an elder can do, how was the elder showing love for the flock there? Protecting the weaker vessel? He did not need to slander the man just kindly direct the sister to where she could find the information and tell the sister the mans standing in the cong. This just make my blood boil! Once you are a registered sex offender you have been guilty by a jury of your peers and the authorities post such information to protect the public, it's not slander. The elder had a moral and ethical duty to advise the sister of this mans past.
It's one more bit of evidence that it's a "man's" organization, and an abusive one. Among the JWs, the purpose of women is to:
