Wacky quote about not killing DFd people

by rebel8 in

this is one of my fave quotes from the bizarre wt archives.

it illustrates how underhanded they are.

although this is an ?older?

I hate to tell you that their attitude is still the same. My mom continually reminded me of the policy in Israelite times of killing children that don't listen to their parents. She would use that to get me in line all the time. I wasn't even a really bad kid. That was her way of keeping me shaped up. Unfortunately when I DA'd myself I felt that if it wasn't for the laws of the land now, my mom would kill me and be happy about it.

I'm not exaggerating. These kinds of parents are sick!!!! I don't think every JW parent thinks this way, but the parents that believe everything they are told by the FDS would do anything for them even if it went against their own concience or laws of the bible.

(I cringe thinking about my mom and killing children) Believe it or not my mom is actually a nice person, but when it comes to this kind of stuff the horns start to grow!!!!

Does anyone feel that their abilty 2 make money has been influenced by WT?

by theotherside in

jw
friends

we were told so many times that we were slaves 2 not only god but anyone in a secular position of authority.

so i feel that this only encouraged a subordinate and non confortational attitude with our employers.

almost 2 the point that that even those of us who are self employed never get 2 develope the killer instinct that is needed 2 compete in the business world.

moanzy

I found it hard to compete and don't seem to have that competitive drive to succeed to the best of my ability. The worst was when I started to rub off on my husband who is successful. I could have cost us so much.

Dean tells me to dream and believe. And he aint talkin about no paradise of organization!!!!!

Thanks!!!

at the risk of soundy mushy, i would just like to thank everyone for being a part of this board and making it what it is.

in the 14 years since i have been out of the b'org, i have pretty much had to deal with building myself back up by myself.

in the short time that i have been a part of jwd, i have realized that there was a lot of things that i had just repressed and locked away.

moanzy

I'm so thankful that so far I have been able to post my feelings here. No one has told me to suck it up, but are just letting me get it out however it comes.

It's good to find so many people that are going through so many of the same things. THANKS everyone

Why remember the bad treatment?

by Joker10 in

jw
friends

there are people who have had bad experiences and don't look back.

but many people on this forum remember it and post about it almost, if not, everyday.

personally, i've had my share of bad moments.

moanzy

I probably wouldn't be reliving the pain everyday if it wasn't for the simple fact that every day I can't call my mom or sister or my brothers for anything. Even simple things about raising my girls that would be so nice to share with my mom, I can't.

Knowing that a religion has taken my right to a family away from me, oh I don't know.....makes me want to poke someone in the eye!!!!!

The Watchtower - Making the case for social responsibility

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

over the last couple of years, much has been said about the charitable status of the watchtower bible & tract society.

it seems to be more and more the case, that the watchtower is a taker and not a giver.. .

they claim to be modelled after the 1st century christian congregation - yet they can't perform even the most basic of charitable works.

moanzy

My mom always said they are giving something better to society than helping the causes or community. THEY ARE GIVING PEOPLE EVERLASTING LIFE!!!!

I would like JW's to look at some poor child that is so hungry and just wants a cracker and tell him all he needs is to study the bible. The FDS just doesn't see that door to door work just doesn't equate to truly lending a hand to someone in genuine need.

What is the WORST TEACHING of Jehovah's Witness religion?

i have my ideas, but i am very interested to know yours.

independant thinking is wrong

and the FDS is God's channel-meaning we must serve their every whim as if God said it.

and that children should be DF'd for sinning when they should be loved while they are struggling to grow up and learning to make good choices.

Do you think the more you learn the Bible, the less you believe in it?

by jeanniebeanz in

?

moanzy

You are right DragonLady, there is definately something up with Mnb77. How can someone reason that what God did in the Hebrew scriptures is just. If that is in fact "just" then it should be no problem to knock of a murderers family because we wouldn't want their genes spread around like a bad virus.

I sometimes wonder if the Hebrew scriptures are even about the All Powerful God most of us believe in. It kind of rings of Egyptian beliefs, As well as some of the other pagan beliefs at the time. I do believe in God, but I am leary of believing all the terrible murders and massacres in the Hebrew scriptures are from the Most High God. Most christian religions believe the Israelites were God's chosen people, but didn't most people in that time believe they were superior with their Gods.

by GetBusyLiving in

hi, not my usual fluff topic today.

i hope some of you have time to read it.

moanzy

So sorry GBL. I hope your mom will find some peace through this. Take care of yourself as your mom will need you even though it will be hard on you also. It is always so sad to lose our gramas.

Hugs,
