Farkel,
You don't know me. You only think you do. As I said, I'm an EX-witness and I have no compunctions to making you look like a fool in your factless, baseless comments. I suggest you do a little independent research of your own and provide facts on this forum that back up what you claim to be a world that is better off than it used to be. 1 in every 2 American men will develop some form of cancer in their life time. 1 in 3 women. Aids is a global epidimic the likes of which have never been seen before (You say the bubonic plague was worse? Not even close. Look into it). Man can now kill by the dozens with modern assualt weaponry. This is the first time in human history in which we have the weaponry able to destroy the eco system of the planet many times over. For the first time in history, bacteria is engineered with the soul intention of massacering thousands of civilians. In Rawanda, nearly 1 million people were brutally murdered in the name of ethnic cleansing and such events continue to happen around the globe. In Bolivia, privatization of the water system (which eventually led to a revolt by the people) outlawed peasants from gathering rain water (Corporate greed at its best!). Small countries such as Jamaca are falling apart economically due to the greed of organizations such as the World Bank. The drug trade has become an international market that shatters millions (billions?) of lives (I know, I was one of them!) Please tell me you don't think I'm some low IQ dope brainwashed by the society. I am a member of Mensa. I do computer animation for a living. As I said before. You don't know me. And you obviously don't do the research you tell me to do for yourself. Just because you may have it good, doesn't mean everyone else does.
So some of you are ex-witnesses, maybe even District Overseers. Does that prove anything to me other than your apostacy? Even in Christ's times, there were high ranking members of the organization that turned against him!
Do I think god is vengeful? Absolutely not. Christ made it very clear to us just how loving God is. God is Love. Do I think God will kill anyone not deserving of death? Of course not. You do though. That's not my problem. There is nothing in the bible, nor anything preached by the society that indicates Jehovah is a hateful spiteful death-loving god as you try to say they do. But I am more than willing (as a humble person) to accept my own death as a result of my rebellion against him. Why? Because he made me and that is that. YOU would NOT even BE here if it weren't for his love. And yes, this is what the society teaches. That God has the right to do whatever he wants, and even though this is true, he has alway and will always act as a loving father. And was not Christ ready to give his life? Why should we not be willing to do the same? I would rather die a thousand times than to see one (even ONE) more person suffer in this world.
You'll have to excuse me if I seem angry and if I don't address all your (factless) comments. But I am angry. I am fed up with an evil world full of people who think they have everything figured out. I am sick of a world where Republicans and Democrats needlessly argue back and forth over who's side is better, when it's obvious to anyone with half a brain and the desire to do a little independent research and thinking that they are both part of a corporately controlled global governemnt that is slowly sucking (no rapidly sucking) this planet dry and leaving nothing but death (in the wars that are fought for there profit) and chaos in their wake! The whole two party system in America is a dog and pony show for the ignorant masses.
Oh, I'm a poor little ignorant brainwashed moron who only gets his info from the Watchtower! Please. I speak with my own mouth and my own brain. Why did I leave the organization? I never officially did. I just fell away. But why? Because I am weak. That's why. I know the truth when I see it though. Truth was the one thing that always appealed to me when I first started learing it. And no one can tell me that the things taught by the society are anything less than truth. I have studied the scriptures all too well on my own. Do I still have an open mind? Am I willing to change my views if confronted with hard evidence that I am wrong? You bet! I have yet to be given this evidence by anyone or anything in my life experiences.
Some witnesses that are preying on children and brutal? If so, I have never met one. And I promise you, the elders in the congregations I went to in my time would have quickly disfellowshiped them when found out. And if it was an Elder? Jehovah would have taken care of it in time. Does this mean the organization as a whole is evil? Not by a long shot. Not even in the same class as say the Catholic church. This is a purely false and malicious statement with not real proof other than a few people making these claims on the internet.
Bethel a slave factory? You know what? Forget it. I'm not even going to continue. This is too funny. May Jehovah forgive me for my anger.
Continue to believe what you want. You are lost. Your hatred will destroy you.
And if you are someone that HAS somehow been abused by a Witness. I truly apologize and sincerely hope that Jehovah exacts payment from that person. Because not only have they wronged you physically and emotionally, but they have turned you against truth and your creator who loves you. Me a hypocrite? LOL. I know exactly who I am BROTHER! I am a sinner and very well aware of my sins. Where that came from...who knows!
And oh...please back up any biblical claims with scripture in the future. It only makes you look good when you do. Do likewise with statements about how good things are. Just some friendly advice.
