WTS Controls Who JWs Can Help
by TR inplease correct me if i'm wrong, anyone.. i've noticed, as well as many of you on this forum probably, that jws are more than willing to come here and stick up for their cult, but where is their compassion for those that are grieving?
where is your joy for those that have had a major triumph or 'blessing' in their life?.
are you jws so programmed by the wts that you can't show empathy or sympathy for a fellow human being?

Careful which way you look, Jehovahs about.
by sleepy inwell you never know.. lots wife got turned into a giant lump of salt for just looking in the wrong direction.. did this account ever make sense to you?.
the watchtower always tried to jusify it by saying she must have looked back longingly.it that really a good reason to kill someone?.
especially after you have just saved them.. then david sleeps with someone not his wife has her husband killed and his kid get the punishment!.

Left the WTS as an atheist
by Elsewhere ini have realized that there are some misunderstandings regarding the circumstances of my leaving the wts.. i'll give a brief review... i was raised as a third generation jw and submerged underwater in a ritual called baptism in 1991. all of my family, and almost all of my extended family are in the wts.
my mother claims to be of the anointed, my grandfather clamed to be of the anointed, my dad is an elder, and my other granddad is an elder who has spent considerable time as po.
my family was the model jw family.
