Index of my Watchtower Doctrine Threads
by cofty ini just wanted to put links to my watchtower threads all in the same place for my own benefit and future reference.. i wrote these 4 articles almost 20 years ago just after i left the watchtower and before i had encountered any ex-jw books or websites.
they were all based on original research of old wt publications and the nwt bible.. my explanation of why they got it wrong about blood using only the nwt.... i still think this line of reasoning is devastating to the blood doctrine.
i have yet to hear a rational response.. the gospel contrasted with the watchtower doctrine of the ransom.... i wrote this when i was an uber-evangelical.

Canada and illegal immigration, What's life like for them?
by BucketShopBill ini had friends from hong kong who were able to move to canada but moved back after people's republic was not as bad as they thought and they ended up making lots of money doing pipes.
to move to canada, you had to have over $5,000,000 in assets, more cash the better and you had to create jobs, immigration i can understand.
the same with the indian community, when simon was a child, he probably saw few indians, now there are thrieving giant indian communities highly skilled contributing to canada's success.. .

Do you ever get frustrated and feel dirty after sharing experiences on JWN?
by BucketShopBill init's a giant boil on my butt, thinking how long we all were tricked by a cult.
reading so many of our fellows threads, it help's reinforce we made the correct choice in mentally or physically leaving the watchtower's path to truth, they never had it and nobody can prove they did!
ray franz jr. came to that conclusion, even he had to accept "this is not the best of all relgions, in fact, it's on the bad side!

What's Worse than a Pedophile? A Elder Who Tells Newspapers JWs Hide them?
by BucketShopBill inin jw "practices", is a active pedophile worse than a elder who called the police and exposed a watchtower cover-up?
i wrote how some pedophiles have bought lavish gifts, throw elder parties, and bring out their best worldy gifts to win the hearts of the congregations shepherds.
sadly to report, a large portion of the jw elders are not educated leaving them to rely on the watchtower's written materials to decide what is "right and wrong", instead of using the bible or mankind's laws.. .

Said from the platform: "You are not surviving Armaggedon if you are spiritually weak"
by Daniel1555 intoday i was at the meeting (i go there about once a month now).
in the service meeting they had a part where they interviewed the secretary of the congregation.. so one question was: "why are the service reports so important?".
our secretary explained that the reports are important, because the elders can see, who is spiritually weak.

by KiddingMe inhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/state-department-report-religious-persecution-makes-migrants-out-of-millions/2014/07/28/ef30cd50-1698-11e4-88f7-96ed767bb747_story.html.
religionstate department report: religious persecution makes migrants out of millions by brian pellot | religion news service july 28and then there were nine.
secretary of state john kerry announced on monday (july 28) that turkmenistan has joined the state departments list of worst religious freedom offenders.. the state departments countries of particular concern list had remained static since 2006, when eight countries burma, china, eritrea, iran, north korea, saudi arabia, sudan and uzbekistan were designated as cpcs.. justifying the addition of turkmenistan, kerry cited reports of people detained, beaten and tortured for their beliefs, prohibited from wearing religious attire and fined for distributing religious materials.. turkmenistan, a mostly sunni muslim country in central asia, once part of the soviet union, forbids private worship and greatly restricts foreign travel for pilgrimages and religious education.. all religious organizations in the country must register with the government, and shiite muslim groups, protestant groups and jehovahs witnesses have all had their registration applications denied in recent years.

Have you reconnected with ex-JW's after you have left the Borg?
by EdenOne inafter reading from another thread, i felt it was worth asking this question.. if you left the borg on your own, have you attempted to meet others whom you used to be connected with while you were "in", but who have also become ex-jw's before or after you have left the wts?
if that's the case, has it remained a friendship, or the connection grew cold?
just curious as to what keeps friendships "stick" [or not] once you no longer have the borg's doctrinal glue.. your experiences are welcome.. eden.
