sometimes this place makes me sick...

by theinfamousone in

it has been quite some time since i have posted on this glorious discussion group... it has been even longer since i have started any discussions myself.. and as somber (or possibly upsetting), my title or even thesis may seem, there is reason and respect coming behind it.... i do love the majority of the people who post here... though your faces and names may have changed since i started here, your kind words, sincere support and listening ears have always been very much appreciated... you have helped me through the hardest times of my life... my feelings of inadequacy (spl?

) and loneliness have often been overshadowed by your caring and love... so i must start by thanking you..... now, that being said; sometimes when i come online and read the dribble that some of you protray as discussion, i am almost sickened... right now my stomach is in knots because of the recent description of one's fecal matter i was subject to read... and yes, i know i could have just clicked off of it, but the title seemed appealing, the subject matter on the other hand was not.... but even this is not enough to turn me off of this site.... the other thing that leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth, is the bull **** that i once believed... the terrible attitude and delusion of grandeur i once shared with the people of this terrible organization.... the pain i must have helped to instill in people who truly did not deserve it... the hatred i felt inside when someone decided to disassociate themselves, or the anger i felt towards the people that were disfellowshipped.

the letters i wrote to my friends, who had left... the families that were falling apart around me, as my own was able to hold some semblance of happiness and stability (whether feigned or not)... all the pain and torture this borg has put me through...has put so many others through... this has left me reeling.... reading about it every day no longer instills anger in me, as it used to... now, it sickens me... sickens me to believe i once felt this way, sickens me that so many others still condemn others for thinking... sickens me to realize that there are other 15 year olds out there being beaten for smiling... sickens me to think that there is not much i can do to help them... except maybe hope that one day they will find this website, or find some friend, or find me, and we can all work together to help this person out..... yes, i needed to rant... the true nature of this message though is to say thank you to all of you for making me realize how sick the witnesses are... how morally blind they are... and how much pain they instill... thank you for helping me out when i needed the help most... thanks for being my family... and i just hope i can help you all and anyone else that needs it as much as you helped me... i hope one day we all feel sickened at the damage the witnesses caused and continue to cause.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 10-19-08 WT Study (DIGNITY)

by blondie in

jw
friends

honor jehovah by displaying dignity .

this ten-year old has quickly learned that dignity is only the outward appearance.

why, though, can humans act with dignity?

ozziepost

So these people are dignified, eh?

I wonder where the dignity is in turning the back on people - is that really dignified?

I wonder where the dignity is in snatching a child patient out of hospital so that it doesn't get a blood transfusion? - is that dignified?

An Average Apostate Day

by Farkel in

i cannot understand why dubs are so terrified of apostates.

we all live mostly modest and normal lives, but dubs don't believe that.

so for all you lurking dubbies out there, i am going to tell what i think and do on .

Nigerian consortium shows interest in Newcastle

By Soccernet staff

Updated: September 22, 2008, 6:52 PM UK

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has appointed investment bank Seymour Pierce to handle the sale of his ailing club. The news comes on the same day that a consortium of wealthy Nigerians declared their plans to launch a takeover of the Magpies.
The London-based bank has been drafted in as the billionaire attempts to offload the business he bought just 16 months, for £134.4million, following demonstrations by fans in the wake of manager Kevin Keegan's departure earlier this month.
According to reports in Africa, a Nigerian company has accrued £350million to launch a potential takeover and are bidding to secure the remaining funding which would improve their chances of a successful purchase.
Chief Executive Officer of NVA Management, Chris Nathaniel, whose company are handling the deal, wants to make Nigeria the first African country to own a Premier League club.
He told KickOffNigeria: ''All along I have been working hard to get wealthy and football loving Nigerian entrepreneurs to buy the club since Mike Ashley indicated his willingness to sell the club to the person, people or entrepreneurs who can meet the £400million selling price of the club.
''Right now I am happy to tell you that well meaning Nigerians have responded and the consortium of Nigerian entrepreneurs has so far contributed £350million to buy the club

What do you think Jesus meant...

by Newborn in

...when he said "the one that has endured to the end will be saved"?.

thanks for your thoughts.. /newborn.

The key is in understanding what is the 'end' being spoken of - end of a world as in Dub belief or a personal end. Which makes more sense? Which is in context?

Anyone know Hands Hubler the D.O Missionary {a.k.a The Terminator}

by Witness 007 in

hands hubler was the rudest most arrogant man "jehovah" ever made.

he was famous for kicking out sisters with crying babies during his talks.

he went to a bible study as a sister asked him to come along, he saw the christmas decorations were up so he excused them and said they would not be coming back, "terminating" the sisters study, no discussion, no nothing.

ozziepost

He seemed like a nice guy

Yep, "seemed" but it was an act.

Round and round we go! This was exactly the reasoning when they introduced the "congregation coordinator" designation back in the 1970s. Then later it was changed back to presiding overseer and now we'll change back again.

Oh dear, the light gets brighter and darker and lighter and.......

Now let's get the man's name spelt correctly! It's HANS Hubler.

I certainly have a tale to tell, but I'll wait a while longer and see what else comes up! I shall watch this thread with interest.

Why do people use so many derogative, belittling terms on here like....

by reniaa in

maybe for the same reason the bible namecalls:.

sinners.

undeserving.

ozziepost

Actually hon, that's not um, where we get the term "the Borg" from (although that's a pretty good anology!). It's actually from an alien species in Star Trek: The Next Generation that goes around the universe assimilating various species to their own particular race. Your individuality is stripped, they control your thoughts, your actions and your very life all for the greater glory of preserving 'unity' and 'progression.

Yeah, i know, mary. VM44 had already pointed that out, but look, I don't care for that there Star Trek stuff!

BTW owyergoin luv? orright?
