Kindness and Jehovah's People
by laverite ini came across the following quote the other day and it has stuck a chord with me.
jehovah's people tm spend their lives "pondering the human predicament" (how bad it is, how the world is about to end).
how meaningless all of their efforts and "ponderings" are.

Grandma Jones is Amazing
by laverite init wasn't long ago at all when grandma jones entered jwn in a panic.
in no time at all, her panic turned to thinking more clearly.
now grandma jones is an important part of jwn helping give advice to those who need it.

Pat Robertson argues against shunning
by laverite init is so sad that the jws continue to shun.
i just don't see that ever changing, it's so heavily entrenched in the organization.
even if the org were to lighten up, so many hardliners would continue hard core shunning.. pat robertson isn't known for being the most liberal christian in the media, but in this video he argues that there's nothing to gain from shunning.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py7_qjmm4r8.

On truth and The Truth
by laverite ini wanted to share with you all a quote that i came across today by carl sagan.
as so many have found out, the truthtm is in such a tenuous, vulnerable position today because the truthtm simply cannot stand up to the real truth.
the only real hope watchtower corp has against the truth is to rely on cultish practices of information control and shunning.

Babylon the Great, the Great Trib, etc.
by laverite inthinking about topics such as babylon the great, the great tribulation and the kinds of things would scare the living bageezus out of me as a child, i took a walk down memory lane.
and let's be very clear here... i was utterly terrified as a child growing up as a jw.
everything terrified me.
