  The poor and deprived life of JW children.

  by Esse quam videri in

  2. beliefs

  i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.

  i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.

  we went to meetings.

  Satan is more dangerous then pedophile - Assembly Part

  i am sitting at the recent assembly, bored out of my mind (have you ever heard anyone call these things fun?

  ) and the next speaker walks out on stage.

  OMG!

  depressed,

  Don't you believe you're going to die??? If your view is that there is no God then everyone is going to die soon anyway (as within their own short human lifespan).
  

  Were you ever actually a JW?? You don't remember that Peter said Satan was a roaring lion??

  You just proved my point that condemning the speaker's statement is condemning all other Christians. I'm glad you finally agree.

  depressed,

  You're going to die anyway so what difference does it make if you die a few years earlier at Armageddon?

  Anyway, I have only been commenting on what the speaker said and everyone reading into it crap that isn't there. Capiche?

  flipper,

  I guess you don't know yourself very well. You traded one set of blinders for another. Maybe someday you'll take off your new set

  1. I don't need anyone to educate me about how damaging child abuse is. I came from an abusive family myself but it wasn't sexual abuse. So I grew up with it. I've also spent the last 25 years dealing with the damage done to my own kids by a pedophile. So you can take your comments that I "don't get it" and stick them you know where.

  2. For those who still believe in God and Satan, Satan is a greater threat than a pedophile. That is what the speaker said. Anything else is your own conjecture. You see what you want to see even when it isn't there.

  Also, if you have a kid and anything remotely comes close to someone taking advantage of them, feel free to let me know how "temporary" it is.

  As a matter of fact I DO have a kid that was attacked for years by a pedophile, you jackass. It destroys kids and parents. It lasts as long as they live and many times ends up in suicide. If this life is all there is, then maybe suicide is a pretty good option. I still hope there's something better. Anything else you want to know???

  flipper & outlaw:

  I don't have the time or inclination to help your reading comprehension. Maybe you can understand this:

  
  

  WT policy has hurt a lot of people but it's stupid to turn it into a joke with ridiculous criticism of a talk and make a connection that isn't there.

  Outlaw,

  The statement by the speaker which is being criticized is:
  

  "There is something even more dangerous then that pedophile living across the street to your children..." "Satan the devil is after your children, something even more dangerous then that pedophile!"

  THAT is the statement this thread is based on. It is not:
  

  Pointing out the WBT$ "Actively Protects" WBT$ JW Pedophiles..

  Christians would generally agree with that statement which implies that eternal damage is greater than temporary damage no matter how painful it is. To condemn that statement would condemn other Christians as well. And, yes, I do have first-hand knowledge about child abuse.

  The statement is true for those of us who still believe Bible, however need to protect against both. Child is still dead whether killed by pitbull or lion.

  Condemning this statement = condemning all Christians.

  Elder Using Innuendos at Every Single Opportunity

  by Tempest in a Teacup in

  2. beliefs

  there's this elder in my hall.

  in his comments and talks, he loves to include the kind of details that would leave listeners wondering who his comment/talk is about.

  he seems to see himself as a jw behaviour expert and drops titbits whenever he's behind the mic.

  the old "titbits" gimmick, eh? no doubt guaranteed to liven up any meeting in the USA!

  over here elders often use the very similar "tidbits" routine
