  The Watchtower After Hours: Phone Sex!?

  by Anitar in

  well, it's good to know what the watchtower's priorities are these days.

  they're facing dwindling numbers in the industrialized nations, a growing number of child abuse lawsuits, a pedophile database of over 23,000 members just waiting to be exposed, and what do they have on the front page of their website?

  phone sex!!.

  I SWEAR, when I saw this on the "Official WBTS" site, I thought I was on a "joke" site! That is how absurd I thought it was!

  I'm still angry, will this sect ever be stopped?

  they have ruined lives, destroyed people ..... mentally and/or emotinally...... why?

  .

  and if they are hurt, some can still stay in and buy into the bs even if it means throwing out their own families?

  I feel the same way. It is so hard for me to understand how this keeps going on. I hate it.

  i don't have any hopes of this making a difference in my family, but i do want to hear some opinions on things he said and the way he contradicts himself .

  I did take some points from you all on the board in my last response to him....and this is it, no more drama! I promise! The thing is, he really was very verbally abusive to me and my full sister growing up. He demanded respect, never earned it. He talks to me only a few times a year, so he doesn't know me one bit. I am not trying to get along....in fact I really don't care to speak to him or my mom again. Thanks all for the pointers. Your e-mail just shows how well you do not know me. I know you won't respect the research I have done to happily discover me and my wonderful loving family are not going to die at armegeddon. I will stop "ranting" about what the Watchtower teaches when the Watchtower stops ranting on about what other religions teach. I will not "rant" to anyone who doesn't want to talk about it though. Fortunately, I have many friends and family members who appreciate my research and they don't think I am ranting or throwing blame...but then again, they really know me. I have a really happy life...and I spend most of my waking moments playing with a wonderful daughter. Unfortunatley, her g-ma Joy will never really know her, but I know enough now to tell Megan that it is g-ma's chioce. This is the part of the Watchtowers teaching that makes me sad, and the reason I feel like it does affect my life every day. I guess we will have to agree to dis-agree, and just get on with life. Hanging up on you may have been rude, but so is calling me an apostate. I am a believer in all Jesus teaches. I do wish I could have had the chance to do as you did and selfishly not get baptised....but a kid doesn't have any idea what implications that could have.

  His response.....Can you see how he answered my questions....and....WTH??? He calls my email a rant?? He is truely clueless, and I will not apologize for hanging up on him, unless he apologizes for calling me an apostate. (yes, childish, but I learned it from the best) The things in paretheses (SP?) I have added myself.

  Goodness child, it is evident by your response that you missed the point of my email. ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS ARGUE AGAINST THE JWs. Look at your response, you immediately started your rant. This is what we ,me, your brother and sisters, are tired of.

  You want to blame everything wrong in your life on something or somebody else. Unfortunately our society has made it acceptable to blame everybody else and not take responsibility for our own actions. It is time you grew up and accepted responsibility for those decisions you made. I don’t think you should have gotten baptized at such a young age; I don’t think you should have married at such a young age; I don’t think you should have left your husband and child. However those were all decisions you made. I have made twice as many bad decisions in my life ,only because I am twice your age, or feel like anyway, as you, the difference is I accept responsibility for my actions, good, bad or indifferent.

  On another note…all the time and effort that all the people who were copied in this email, including you and me, pale in comparison to the time, effort and the exhaustive, comprehensive research your mother has put in over the past 25+ years or so. If you think for one minute that you have the knowledge and wisdom on bible(Society) matters that your mother does, I suggest you take the next 40 hours of your life and study brain surgery and start cutting on people next week. (I am adding GAG ME)

  The point to my previous email is that we love you. We want what is good for you and your family. I want you to research, study and find the truth, whatever it may be for you. However we are tired of your negative BS against the JWs. (Although it is fine for the entirety of the BS JW's to be negative towards you) It’s like the whole purpose of every waking moment for you is to find some negative aspect of the Witnesses to blame for your life’s reality.(It's funny, my life's reality is great....it is the affects of the cult that suck) You pull up some apostate web page and believe everything that is written.(I guess the encyclopedia in now apostate...lol) You want to know what the Witnesses believe, study with a Witness.(I am adding...He forgets I have been there....done that)

  I look forward to you calling me in the future and saying “dad, the Baptist believe…” or “guess what I learned today about the Lutheran’s perspective on this subject… ”.(Oh, I am sure he is)

  By the way, hanging up on me was unacceptable and very disrespectful. I believe I have earned that respect;(By treating you like crap your whole life) and I am talking to all my children here; and I believe you owe me an apology.

  I love you very much and only want the best for you.(as long as it doesn't go against what the WTBTS says)

  Love

  Dad

  I am still waiting for his response too. I just got his e-mail this am, and sent my reply....So, we will see if it come.

  I am going to drop the issue with them. I guess I just wish they would see I am not a ignorant mean apostate....and they can't put that on me just because I now know they follow a cult. They can do what they want with their lives, but at least look into why I decieded not to believe it all.

  I will post his response if it comes.

  Thanks for looking and reading this everyone. The funny thing is the e-mail does make it appear that he is supportive and loving...and all in my family thinks I am angry. However....he lives (For the last 6 mos) about 30 min from me and has only been here twice. He talks of my family like they are all with him on this, yet my sister and brother both think my mom is nuts. My big ranting has only been telling them what I found when I researched the JW's and I was as surprised as anyone that they were a lying cult. (I nievly thought they would be amazed too and see what I saw....WRONG) What can I say, I found it to be a tremendous relief to find out that me, hubby and baby are not facing death at Armegedon in our near future! Call me crazy, but I was happy to get that burden off my shoulder!

  There has never been a relationship to "fix" with them....I don't really want to be around them...But, It still makes me mad that they think they are soooo right, and are just waiting for us to DIE!

  i was taking my dogs out for their morning routine and my neighbor was out about the same time.

  these are little minature poodles and they have only had them for about a year.

  the two weren't on leashes and never had been and i always worried that the little guys would get hit.

  That is terrible. I had a weiner dog that was run over once. He was a bit of a dip, and would try to chase cars....so one day while I was walking him on a leash he got out of his collar and ran into the road. A van was right there and went right OVER him....Thank goodness he was small...he didn't get hit by it! I will tell you though, that whole little experience took about 5 yrs off my heart!

  I would get them a pet condolance card....I think that would be a kind gesture. I hope your day gets better......poor Chewy!
