  Helen Keller is not a hero

  by StopTheTears in

  few realize just how wicked some of the most revered people in history were.

  helen keeler (1880 to 1968) was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no hero.

  keller was a communist.

  Hey bonehead, Helen Keller did NOT develop finger spelling for the deaf. It was around a LONG time before she was born. In fact that is what Annie Sullivan used to teach her how to communicate, she had to feel the letters.

  Having deaf family I find this sort of ignorance to be a blight on so many fine people. Notice the facts about finger spelling:

  "By 1720, the British manual alphabet had found more or less its present form.[30] Descendants of this alphabet have been used by deaf communities (or at least in classrooms) in former British colonies India, Australia, New Zealand, Uganda and South Africa, as well as the republics and provinces of the former Yugoslavia, Grand Cayman Island in the Caribbean, Indonesia, Norway, Germany and the USA."

  Helen Keller leaned towards socialism because of her desire for fair play for blind people and people with disabilities in general. We know how well capitalism takes care of them. Its only the socialist aspects of societies, even "capitalistic" ones, who take care of the disabled. Give a great lady a break. Satanist? My ass.

  Pay attention to the hands:

  i was about 12. i took a friend along to a meeting and he said he didn't mind learning stuff but it was a shame it was so boring.. i was about 14. i had my very own bible study and took him along.

  he just kept whispering about the girls there that he fancied.. i was in my early 20's.

  i took along a lady that i knew.

  My guest commented that the meeting seemed so structured that it was a waste of intellect. The parroting session of the WT "study" particularly annoyed him. Never returned and of course I faithfully dumped that worldly friend who spoke negative about the "organization". What an ass I was.

  A Judicial experience.

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was an elder in the 80s, a 16 year old baptized jw girl had confessed that at school during lunch a boy kissed her and touched her privates over her dress.

  the circuit overseer was in town and we told him of the situation and he called the society and then told us that mother said we were not allowed to conduct the funeral in the kingdom hall or anywhere else with the threat of removing us and being dealt with judicially if we disobeyed.

  the mother who is about 79 years old comes once a year to talk to my mom about the situation.

  This story should repel any person with any brains from getting involved in this cult. Stay away, they will steal your life with their petty rules! You go grandma, keep in touch with those babies and your good son.

  Getting the Urge!

  by Theburstbubble in

  2. friends

  evening folks, so as some of you may know we have recently decided to leave the witnesses and can see it for the man made organisation it is.

  so, why do i get the urge to go back and feel guilty for not being there!

  it's like my mind is telling me to be logical about it all but then something keeps pulling me back.. don't get me wrong i really want to break free from it all and i'm resisting the urge to go back as i have been miserable in the truth for a long time as i've known it's not right and want to do the best by my daughter.

  Theburstbubble, once you have some time away to clear your mind and enjoy life among those who are not in a death cult you will brighten up. You'll find your own form of spirituality or perhaps none. Know that you are free to think, so do it! Read, watch documentaries and see what incredible things people have learned without the WT gnawing away at their intellect. I am loving this new PBS series that just started, "The Mystery of Matter". It is so informative and incredible how men have sleuthed out the elements that make up the world. Have fun thinking for yourself and enjoy your family!

  one of my favourite youtubers, winston from jamaca (watchtower examination) has provided some feedback from jacko's testimony at the victorian royal commission.

  he examines only part of the testimony and brings up some interesting points.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-xzivv0q8s.

  He does a great job of hammering away at the GB and Jackson's obfuscation of the truth. A bit long but gets it done.

  Local Congregation Takes Away My Dad's Phone Hook-Up (HE'S 85 YRS. OLD)

  by NoMoreHustle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this happened about 6 months ago, didn't really have an opportunity to post about it (been busy), but they still haven't given back his password for the phone hook-up.

  they say that this is direction from the "branch office".

  i think it's complete bs, the real reason why they are doing this is to punish me & my family because i am basically a ghost when it comes to meetings & any type of activity.

  I was told that they wanted the person to make all the meetings they can so they can be encouraged. BS, they want the cash.

  anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

  bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

  i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

  Good Morning America quotes brother Murderer: ...He continues, “As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said "Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act."

  Mucho loco.

  Kinda old news now. He never blossomed as an actor. He can't get arrested in Hollywood these days. It was good he exposed the evangelist fraud of the day. Now they are even more slick. Sad really. The WT now has their own version of this scam on its site. I refuse to name it.

  Mental illness can be a dangerous thing when not under supervision and control. We have seen this time after time here in the US. They tend to shoot many people if not killing their own. People are too disconnected from their own families to protect against this problem.

  My 67 Year Old Elder Brother Is Depressed Because The Younger Elders Are Taking Over

  by minimus in

  he was the school overseer but they relieved him of that to allow younger elders the privilege of the job.

  now he is depressed and actually shed tears, believing his worth has diminished.

  The school has been dumbed down extensively. Counsel is a joke. The only pain in the ass is the usual cancellation scourge. In that way it still sucks I believe. I understand the feeling of not having assignments. For awhile after I deleted myself it was odd and mostly boring to be at meetings. Being creative with parts kept me going longer than if I hadn't been an elder. Free at last!
