Crazyguy is going batshit crazy a Rant

by Crazyguy in

yesterday some jw's came over to my house and were even being nice to me, most of the time if they do come by an elder or ms may say something but the others will not, its even hard for them to say just hello (how pathetic).

( they also do this behind my back as if i don't know).

i now realize by not being their i've handed my kids right over to them!.

Sorry Crazy but I don't remember your situation. Married? Separated? Custody issues? Fader? not DF'd obviously. When they are with you and you are able to, steer them to the real world.

I am at a disadvantage not having kids, but for what its worth I would start taking them on field trips to museums and art galleries in order to show them there is a world of knowledge and beauty out there. Natural history museums would have examples of fossils and would make for a natural topic for discussion. A museum beats the boredom of a stuffy Kingdom hell any day.

Find habitat for humanity and have them help you work on a project for an "evil" worldly person so they can see that they actually do care about each other.

Just wanted to share what I would do in that situation. If you can make them miss meetings at all that is GOLD!

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:

Did You Ever Hear a Non-Witness Opinion After They'd Attended Their first Meeting?

by snugglebunny in

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

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

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!

Commentary on Geoffrey Jackson's RC testimony

by Listener in

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.

Wasanelder Once

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

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.

Wasanelder Once

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.

Marjoe Gortner - 4 year old Preacher / Ordained Minister ...PTL !

by AFRIKANMAN in

trained to rake in the booty from the age of 4 !

later he exposed the whole evangelism thing for what it is.

lets hear your take and comments - there are 3 sets of video in the full doccie.

Wasanelder Once

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.
