Watchtower Study and Phony Questions

this is from a page at the freeminds website, sounds like the watchtower and book studies(groupthinks!

"legalistic authoritarianism shows itself in the confusion of the christian principle of unity with the human insistence on unanimity.

unity is a profound, even mystical quality.

And why study that crap when it's put out there over and over again, watchtower after watchtower, then pre-study it, then go over it again on sunday....
People in kingdom halls always seemed baked. It's no wonder why.

a funny and peculiar song i found today about keeping religious law out of secular law.. .

some will be offended by this, my advice, don't click the link.

i think most here who don't take things too seriously will enjoy it.

AHMEN!
Just click on the link already. Yeah, it's 'bad', and I couldn't agree more with the message.
Thank you oh thank you for providing us with that link, and having the balls to post it here.
Yes, you can keep your jesus off my penis and don't tell me how to screw. That shortcut will be saved under my favorites, thank you very much.

this is my first post here, though i have been browsing these forums over the last week for more than a few hours.

in the interest of full discloser, well as much as anyone would on a public forum, i?ll tell you about me.

i was raised as a witness, and have no real horror stories to tell.

A knock on my door- and I'm still shaking

just had a witness encounter and it shook me and i'm not sure why.

a pioneer sister just came to my door.

she has a very sweet personality--she started off with a hug.

The therapist that I am seeing just reminded me that 5 months ago when I first came to see him I was in a state of shock and suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome, because of the stress I had been put under by those "loving shepherd" elders and also the stress of pulling away from the Org collective
I think what you're going through right now is rather normal. I wonder how Jesus views people that put others through so much guilt that they suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. "take my yolk, it is light and kindly".

Now you are sorry you came here , you need to go back and defend the pedophiles while the children cry.

Exactly.
I think ??? is getting into not only legal trouble, but some serious DFing trouble for coming here. You want to play with fire, you're going to get burned.
I will be contacting your IP provider, ???. It's remarkably easy. Just one of many fine features that Simon has put on this board, so people can't just come in, say things that are illegal, then run away.
Have a good nights sleep.

Yes, ???, your IP address is right below your name there... see it? Everyone can see it. Perhaps we should track you down, and send the information to your local body of elders. I bet they would get a kick out of it. You would find yourself in more hot water than you care to imagine.
Perhaps Sheila will provide the information to the local police, too. It would be nice to send that information to all the congregations in your area. Wouldn't that be a nice 'witness'?

Are you sure its "new" and not just a " reminder" to everyone in the congergations, so that when the many people ask us we don't give them incorect info?

So then all the posters here who have had these things happen to them, in this very community, Silent Lambs, everything is just apostate nonsense.
Now then. Go run away. We're apostates. It's pretty obvious that you use your persecution complex wisely, by making us feel sorry for you when you see fit. People call that troll behavior. I've seen lots on here, believe you me. (done with nonsense thread)

In all the years i have been a witness there have been countless wt studys reminding the cong the elders are imperfect and mess up so why let them play a role in some so serious. Parents have HAVE to do what is best for the child regardless or the outcome. But I have a hard time beleaving that every time parents go to the police they will be disfellowshiped.
Now I have to wonder if you are even the same person posting here. I think that this could be just b.s. If you don't even know what you've been saying on this very thread, then something is wrong. Just IMO>
