This web site, your comments as evidence

in the case of silent lambs versus the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. did you ever think that discussing these cases here accompanied by your vitriole against all things watchtower could be used to:.

1. show that ex jehovahs witnesses harbor such a hatred for the watchtower society that they will say anything to discredit them.. 2. show that there is a network of ex jehovahs witnesses that may have helped to create these abuse accusations in the alledged victims' minds or at least have encouraged them, even unwittingly, to exaggerate their claims.. i guarantee you that the watchtower society has documented every word anyone here has said, especially on this issue.

i can easily see a defense team using it to, if not exonerate accused molesters and the watchtower society, to at least create a reasonable doubt regarding their guilt.. if your hatred of the watchtower causes you to join in irrational behavior and accusations, you have to contemplate the fact that you may be adding to the future grief of any real victims.. i present this for your thoughtful consideration.. as always, i wish all here peace.. joel

"6. Joel is concerned about lurkers here who need balanced and factual information, not hyperbole and propaganda to make serious decisions about their spirituality and mental and physical welfare."

Joel, if this is how you feel, then why not stick around and give your view point as well, to balance it out, so to speak.

People read all sides of an issue and then make a decision. So is it not better to have as many different views as possible?

Just a thought.

Are you bitter?

is it just me, or is "everyone" on this board bitter?.

i do know alot of happy jws and, i could not see them being anything else but jws.... .

this is just my take on what i have been reading on the boards sence i joined up...

WildHorses

I'm not bitter. I only invested six years of my life to the WTS. That's small potatoes compared to the one's who were raised in it and lost their childhood to serving the WTS.

If some people are bitter, who can blame them? They gave up the best years of their lives.

with all the "food" "fluff" larc has started, it has made me wonder how many here are vegetarian or meat eaters.. i like my meat in winter, but only in very small amounts.. summertime i go completely vegetarian and relish fruits and vegetables.. how about you??.

ana.

manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.

WildHorses

I like meat. Both kinds.

Need Help FAST!

my son (who's 15) came home from the meeting last night (he thinks he wants to be a witness, but that's in another thread) and said that his grandmother (my mother-in-law) told him my reason for not going to meetings (the un thing, also discussed in another thread).

he told me that i need to talk to the po about it as he had heard about it a while back and has some information.. hmmmm, me thinks the mom-in-law has been talking to the po about what i told her last week.

i'm sure that i will be getting a shepherding call (a drop-by, unscheduled visit) by him this weekend.

Spin Doctor said:"Our resignation should not be taken as showing cowardice but as showing courage. The perception our immediate resignation gave is secondary to ensuring Jehovah’s name is never be reproached and to ensuring our brothers and sisters are not stumbled."

The only problem with that, is the fact that the WTS did not resign until it's members and ex members started flooding the WTS with phone calls asking for an explanation.

Had many people not called them to ask, they would not have resigned.

Read Em & Weep...

by closer2fine in

25 signs that you have grown up.... 1. your potted plants are alive.

and you can't smoke a one of them.. 2. having sex in a twin-sized bed is absurd.. 3. you keep more food than beer in the fridge.. 4.

6:00 am is when you get up, not when you go to sleep.. 5. you hear your favorite song on an elevator.. 6. you carry an umbrella.

WildHorses

But I don't want to grow up. Next is growning old.
