  by drunkenpikachu in

  she totally flipped out.

  all i was trying to do was find some mutual respect for my decision but she started smacking, punching, pushing me.

  soon after, she threw the biggest tantrum and it disgusted me to see her acting in such a manner.

  Has anyone reported the facebook page? When you click on the drop arrow beside the message button, you are given the option to report the page. There are several choices, one of which is, ' this page is harrassing me'. Perhaps if the page gets reported enough times, it will be removed by the moderators, or at least informed of the complaints.

  On another note, when confronted by friends or other witnesses about being on an Anti-watchtower page, I feel like a person could explain that they were added by apostates they don't know. Simply playing stupid here is the best bet. Quite honestly it's the truth. If the witness doesn't believe you were added without your knowledge, then add them to demonstrate how easily it can happen to any innocent person.

  As for Cedars, I love some of his Vids and commentaries, I wish he would stick around and do the right thing.

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from the secret elders' book which states that the list "of course" is "not comprehensive".

  nevertheless here are the acts that they deem worthy of specifying as being possible grounds for chucking people out:.

  murdermanslaughter such as killing someone while breaking traffic lawsattempting suicidesexual intercourse with someone other than your spouseanal sex with someone other than your spouseoral sex with someone other than your spousesexual stimulation of the genitals of someone other than your spousedelay in reporting a rape?

  New magazine cover from the religion that calls former believers "mentally diseased"....

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  apparently "prejudice" applies only to racial equality and has nothing to do with diverse sexual orientation or religious beliefs.

  it's news to me, but that's the only way i can explain this latest cover from the society.. http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/86/wp_e_20130601.pdf.

  cedars.

  Well, the article is just as good as the cover. They quote Martin Luther King and the Secretary General of the U.N..

  They repeatedly state that everyone has prejudices, even if we think we don't. It almost gives you the impression that it's normal to harbour these feelings. But if you study hard enough you will be able to overcome it. Here's a illustrative paragraph from the article page 4. I love how they Quote from the Contemporary English Bible.

  If we are honest with ourselves, we have to

  admit that deep down we all harbor varying degrees

  of prejudice in one form or another. Even

  the Bible acknowledges a very common form of

  prejudice when it states: “People judge others by

  what they look like.” (1 Samuel 16:7,

  Contemporary

  English Version

  ) Since all of us are plagued

  with this human tendency—often with disastrous

  consequences—is there any hope that we can

  overcome or eliminate prejudice in our life? And

  will we ever see a time when the whole world

  will be free of prejudice?

  How Many on JWNet are still JWs?

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've been wondering about this for some time.

  if there are 60,000+ registered users on here, what percentage are actual non-dfed or non-daed witnesses?

  if it was 1/3, that would be over 20,000 active/inactive witnesses that post and read these pages- and that's huge.

  12 year fader, who is secretly hoping to be DF'd soon. I've been stirring the pot.

  Truthfully, I always fudged my time cards, so I've been inactive for a lot longer than the 12 years.

  Thats what they are doing here too. My friend, who is a known inactive witness, basically had an invite thrown at them, with a quip,"Come celebrate christs death." Then they dashed. 10 seconds or less.

  My god, when I was in we were trying desperately to have discussions with people, even start bible studies. What happened???

  The longer I am out of this religious gong show, the more I realize how badly written this drivel is. It doesn't even make sense most of the time. Was it ever better than this or are we(apostates) just getting smarter.
