Is this an Apostate website?

by apocryphal22 in

i've been reading several of the comments and many of you appear to be out-of-step with the faithful and discreet slave..

This site by your own admission renaiaa presents " hmmm since it comes from a deeply biased stand point proved by the completely negative spin without let up ... It is done for one purpose only and that is to prejudice the reader to the wt's" Is not the definition of what the WTBS declares "apostate information" the same ? You trying to rationalize your participation is laughable and disingenuous. Either you believe in the all the WTBS tenants or you don't. Is not their rule Reniaa? (there are many examples here where they have shunned others for disagreeing with just one teaching of the FDS) Since you profess that you indeed do believe in the tenants of the WTBS I again ask why are you here? This board is not a study of Wt Literature, This board in large part is meant to provide support to those of us that have decided that the WTBS is wrong.

edit : again you lie " a Jw I was never taught to memories wt and quote it as " not only are you encouraged to do so the governing body does so (COC makes this point eloquently)

MEMORIAL SHOCK!!!!

by african GB Member in

jw
friends

last year in my cong (well it's not really "my cong" as i'm just "in" for the sake of family) we had a new "partaker of the emblems".

it came as a shock because this man was only baptized in 2005.. his wife has been a dub from birth.. he was 63 when he got baptized, took "auxilliary" pioneer after 1 month...became a full-time pioneer after a year....became ms after 2years...made an elder 6 months later.....2008 he got "anointed"....we were all surprised at the amount of time he took to climb the jw corporate ladder....rumours are that he donated a car to our po when he (po) lost his job, and some other favours( this man is wealthy).... .

i'm looking forward to be "just an observer" at this year's memorial in my cong (i am thinking of partaking myself, but i sure would rather not,the "bread" is tasteless and the wine is of poor quality,...i don't wanna throw out at the ms serving the emblems)..... back to that man,...how long would it take him to become a gb member?.

reniaa this man is obviously just a social climber, He is as phoney as the rest of the jws. Why must you defend the jws all the time? If you realy believe that what they say is the truth, you are violating their policy with regards "apostate" sites. If you do not believe in all their policys you are just a MB troll.

"Genesis" spankings

by donny in

i recently met a woman here at work (a contractor) and discovered she is an ex-jw.

eventually we got around to telling why each of us left the religion.

she said the main reason for her was not doctrines, but because she was tired of the physical and emotional abuse she received.

I am the victim of abuse inspired by the witnesses and have no doubt in my mind that they are responsible for condoning and encouraging child abuse. My heart bleeds for all those that have had to endure the physical and emotional torture that this cult teaches its members to perpetrate. Do not minimize the religions responsibility. Many of us undergo emotional scarring that effects us for a lifetime.

by Albert Einstein in

friends

i allway wore very short "military" style haircut.

allways was viewed as a bad association by dubs, once one dub told me directly: well i think your hair is rather to short brother!

i told him i dont think so and left.

I was councelled about the stupidist things . I was once councelled about about having a t shirt that had a tv personality on it. It was a loony toons t shirt. It had bugs bunny and some other charectars. Horror of horrors it included the Tazmanian Devil. It could have been demonized they said. Nice thing to say to a 12 year old.
