BENEVOLENT DICTATOR

by TR in

if i were benevolent dictator of the u.s., i would:.

give tax incentives to those who want to run their own small business.

make abortion illegal except for rape or incest.

TR, perhaps you'll make Fredall your Vice Benevolent Dictator and move the JWs into the National Cathedral as well....since you've outlawed prostitution, you'll have to make him give you the cigar treatment, as interns no longer have jobs...then he'll get pregnant and have to claim you raped him to get rid of the next Damian....tsk tsk....sounds like you want to live in bizaaro land..perhaps you should have outlawed problem assholes in your fantasy land too...no I forgot, you would have to rid us of the GOP...just dreaming a little dream...hehehe..a paradise on earth no less.

Religiously inclined are Mentally Ill

by gravedancer in

jw
friends

i raised this briefly in chat earlier today and i expect a similar response to this thread.. my opinion is that if you are religious/spiritual then you are mentally ill.

Valis

Hmmm, I was thinking about this after reading some of the first posts, so I'll throw in my 2 cents...people who need a Dog in thier life are definitely missing something, whether it be self esteem, any real mental ground (i.e a mind that is both logical and emotional and educated), and possibly a fulfilling life above all. I suppose what some schools of thought call co-dependency might come in to play as well. Just like the person that expresses co-dependency towards a spouse, or mate, with the incessant neediness, jealousy, fear of abandonment issues, etc...those who can't live without a spiritual presence share the same kind of abberant behaviour. The creation of guilt where there should be none, the compulsion to control and direct the lives of others, are all signs of missing a few marbles at least. Did I mention the real belief in fantasy like Revelation, prophetic dates, the existence of spirits good or bad, immaculate conception, resurrection, the flood, talking animals, the nephilim, and lest we forget the concept of ONE true religion? All of those things could be construed as a mental condition. Unfortunately you can't really delieve in the JW brand of Dog unless you buy the whole package, lest ye be labelled an Apostate. Most especially them but we could talk about other religions who share some of the same core beliefs. I compiled some sites for those of you interested...

The first one was my favorite..

i recently ran accross some new smurfs, i have papa, smurfette, and an unnamed smurf.

they are about 12 inches tall, stuffed toy smurfs...probably are full of those little foam pellets that get everywhere and pollute the environment, but they're cute so what the hell...*l* i need game ideas that aren't too time intensive, but not too easy for most apostates...as well, i know where all the good smurf stuff is, so if you're looking for smurfanalia let me know.. sincerely, .

WTS visits Apostate Website! (continuation)

by Rado Vleugel in

jw

wts visits apostate website!

(continuation).

(i move this discussion to the top of this board because its already been buried under the other posts.

Valis

If they are visiting apostate websites, it may or may not have anything to do with tactics. If in fact the apostate material that they, (whoever was using the offending computer), find is in any way a catalyst to change/downfall, then we should exhort them to visit more often, not bring thier machine down on those we could possibly influence. If it is a tactic, then the old addage about "keeping your enemy close to you" is a sound one, or so they think, but actually works toward our advantage in the end. (See Curiosity Killed The Cat Conspiracy Theory).

Let me introduce myself

by blindfool in

jw
friends

ok, todays the day i introduce myself.

i've been reading.

as a "lurker" for a couple of months.

Valis

Greetings Blind, I would say that for most, when you find this place its like a breath of fresh air...it was like that thing or those people that you knew about in the back of your mind, but couldn't put your finger on....... but lo and behold, that's where they've been hiding all the apostates!!!! There are lots of people here that will provide you with plenty of good "bad association", not to mention a plethora of different viewpoints on the JW experience. Enjoy, and watch out for the occassional smurf or smelly troll...

Hello...may I post here?

by KistByQpid in

jw
friends

i've been lurking here for some time now.

i'm not a jw, never been a jw, and don't plan on becoming a jw...however my life has been effected by the jw's whether i like it or not (dad's death/mom's conversion).

seems most here are exjw's or jws...so i'm not too sure if i'm welcome or not?

Valis

KBQ, sorry to hear of your JW infestation. My only advice would be to contact your mother and let her know that you aren't interested in becoming a JW and that you would rather not have your children exposed to it either. If in fact she wants to have a relationship with her grandchildren, then she will buck up and shut up about the JW thing when they are around. That's where the rubber hits the road my friend. It does make people very bitter, and IMHO, it because they see people around them they can't control...Those dam incorrigible apostate/heretic/worldly bastards! How dare they be happy when I have to go to meeting three times a week, service once a week, and study the rest of the time so I can answer at least one question at the hall? Its not easy, but its the only way to keep the JW influence out. I had to tell my parents the same thing and they were real pissed, after I explained that I didn't want my kids going to meetings and getting that Jehovah business in thier pretty little heads. They didn't speak to me for some time, but they continue to see my kids, only they know that the Hall and the JW talk are out of bounds and unacceptable. Enjoy posting and chatting with us, but most of all good luck.

Sincerely,

writerpen, because on the cartoon they used "magic" the smurfs were thought to be demonized, or demon possessed by the JWs. There were many reports of JW kids having smurfs and were misbehaving, or engaging in some abberant behaviour, and that when the smurf dolls,toys,etc were taken out of the home and thrown away, the bad behaviour stopped, i.e. the demons went away. Just more typical JW superstition and hysteria for sure. So now, they may be the Apsotate Mascot, but we haven't had any committee meetings about it, we keep having cocktial hour instead, hence our forgetfulness.

The Borg is a reference from Star Trek TNG dude...the borg, half human/half machine...the JWs...half human/half Watchtower and Awake...YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED.....

Still need ideas for new smurf games...I was thinking of these

Apostate Literature

by YoYoMama in

jw
friends

is it possible after researching the net on jw beliefs, background and reading apostate information that a jw would still research the bible and find watchtower teachings as truth?

Valis

I think it very much depends on the personality of the individual. Some people read contradictory info about the WT, leave the borg and still need some form of religion to feel whole and fulfilled. Then again there are others, like myself, that leave and could never concieve of joining another religion, or a belief in Dog, no matter what I read. And then again, many people are as thick as a brick, and might doubt the JWs a little after, say for instance, reading our posts, or reading apostate material, but eventually the guilt complex and fear of divine retribution, makes them return to the Borg.
