"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character...
by digderidoo in...in all fiction:jealous and proud of it; petty, unjust, unforgiving, control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty, ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevent bully.
", says richard dawkins in the god delusion p51.
he goes on to say, "those of us schooled from infancy in his ways can become desensitized to their horror".. would you agree?.

I CONFRONTED THE ENTIRE CONGREGATION TODAY
by Corvin intoday, i was on the scene of the local congregation of jw's where my ex-wife and her husband attend.
physical, emotional and mental abuse has been purpetrated upon my kids for eight years now.
they have been victims of alcoholism, verbal bashings and they have been made to watch their stepfather beat the hell out of their mother and then be halled off to jail without saying a word to anyone for fear fo reprisal from him and their mother.

It must be an assembly weekend here...
by Jim_TX infor about a week now, there's a fella where i work who has made known his plans to take off...well, it started out thursday & friday of this week to go to belton, tx.
i know he is a jw (he don't know i am an ex-jw), and so figured he was going to the annual picnic... err... i mean assembly.
anyway, things changed at work, and he had to come in thursday morning for something work-related.

Allow me to introduce myself
by RollerDave ini was raised among the witnesses and left in my early 30's due to a mixture of doctrinal disputes and social isolation.
my mother and both of my sisters remain within the organization.
i also have two brothers, one df'd, one who never quite caught the watchtower bug.. my road within the organization was a rocky one that eventually lead to a place where i found myself socially isolated within the congregation as a person simply unfit for fellowship with proper, upright, theocratic people who must cut off all 'worldy' association, suffer the ensueing isolation, and eat humble pie until such a time as they determined i was 'spiritual minded' enough for them to associate with.. baptism was held up as my expected goal, but despite trying, i was never quite good enough for them.

I wonder if my son is having 2nd thoughts about getting baptized?
by lavendar inseveral months ago, our son informed us that he has been studying with the jw's (his wife being one), and that he will eventually be joining the b. anyway, he just told us a few days ago that he is accepting another job.
this new job will be 8:00 to 5:00 monday thru friday.
after we hung up, i got to thinking.....hmmm, so when is he going to have time to go door-knocking??
