"...they all turned their backs on him when he was going through hard times," this is a hallmark of what fake Christians most JW families are.

Jesus was said to recommend forgiving 7 x 70 times, but in 18 years his own JW family couldn't imagine doing it even once - for a member of their own family!

JW's never forgive - ever.

They've hated him for 18 years, and they have a special brand of hate for you and your kids too.

JW men are a bizarre mixture of delusional cowards and self-righteous bullies (usually within the same person). The Watchtower builds such character.

Sorry you ever came into contact with them.

Electronic Frontier Foundation v Watch Tower Society

by Corney in

[disclaimer: the headline is slightly misleading since the eff itself doesn't participate in the case, so read more below].

it's not a secret that during the last two years watchtower obtained nearly 40 dmca subpoenas requiring google, facebook, instagram, twitter, soundcloud, scribd, reddit and other isps to provide personal information of users that allegedly infringed the society's copyright.. since subpoena proceeding is ex parte, almost all the requests were granted.. but one of the affected users contacted, on advice of youtube's legal team, the electronic frontier foundation (eff), and the foundation found a law firm ready to represent him pro bono, namely garvey schubert barer:.

youtube's legal department emailed the user on or about july 10, 2018, five days before the subpoena's return date, stating that it would comply with the subpoena unless it received a file-stamped motion to quash "or other type of formal objection before july 20, 2018.

Thanks Comey

Couple pages of good arguments in the motions. Interesting to see the statements and approaches used by "legal" on both sides.

Hello Ashley and welcome to the forum -

Glad you posted on this old thread so we can all laugh at the stupid things the Watchtower tells people.

There doesn't appear to be any invisible people anywhere does there?

The fables written in the Bible were just the superstitions from ancient times.

Religious orientation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to navigation Jump to search

An individual's or community's religious orientation involves presumptions about the existence and nature of God or gods, religious prescriptions about morality and communal and personal spirituality. Such presumptions involve the study of psychology, ethics, sociology and anthropology. ...

The Wikipedia header above is from a fascinating one page introduction of the three orientations that have been categorized by the four scientific disciplines referenced.

Extrinsic are the takers, users and gimme pigs.

Intrinsic find happiness comforting, helping and giving.

Quest are those who are willing to learn, to change and acknowledge there is no single great "TRUTH"

All three are subjected to a prejudice test and the results are fascinating

Let's discuss this as it may offer a way to leave the cult without crisis

Is it OK to teach your children that Homosexuality is wrong?

by Thomasdam in

i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.

there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.

i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.

gone for good

What of the child taught that homosexuality is a sin later understands that they themselves are in fact homosexual?

No winners in that approach.
