Dateline Tuesday Night
 

Did anyone watch Dateline last night? It seems that Catholic priests aren't the only ones who like little kids. Surprise, surprise! They had a full half-hour feature on what has been going on amongst the Jehovah's Witnesses. The feature started out with a little background on what their "religion" requires and believes. I about shit my pants. Now I know why I've been taught to make shit out of them.

Apparently, they aren't allowed to celebrate their birthdays or Christmas (I knew about Christmas), I think it said something about not befriending those who are not Witnesses, there was something about everything outside of the Witnesses is "evil", ok so I'm laughing my ass off about all this shit, but then came the kicker: they are not allowed to salute the flag. That REALLY pissed me off. Millions of people have died so those fuckers can run their stupid ass cult and knock on my door nightly, yet these "Godly" people can't pay their respects.

Enough about that. The special went on to talk about various cases of molestation amongst witnesses. Holy fuck! They are so secretive about this shit it's unbelievable. Basically, whenever some problem occurs within the people they are supposed to report to the "elders" who will supposedly take care of it. So this family reports the molestation to the elders, the elders tell them do NOT report this to the police. If the incident is reported, the family will basically be kicked out. You have to remember, all of their friends and family are Witnesses. If they get kicked out, they'll have nothing.

The elders go on to investigate the situation, which basically consists of asking the offender "did you molest little Susie". Of course, the offender will say no. The elder says "ok, sorry to bother you", and the investigation is over! What a crock of shit!

So the family goes on to report this to the police. When the court date comes, the defendants side of the room is full of other Witnesses, including the "friends and family" of the family pressing charges. The families side had nobody!

In the end, the guy got 11 years in prison. The family is still not allowed back into the Hall.

Remember this shit next time one of those cult members knocks at your door. I sure as hell know I will.

i close my curtains when they come to my door..

I don't get visitors anymore. :(

sounds kinda like them stormin mormons they report to there bishops which are about same position as a elder in J.Vand the ytell the members how they should deal with situations and so on

Bad comparison.

The last time they came to my door, I put my pet Iguana right in front of the door window.. they ran away... :Graucho

-eru

I saw that...it pissed me off...I will have new ammo for the next time they arrive...

Usually its sunday morning and I'm in my boxers when they show up...

I like to debate theology and beliefs with them while I'm barely clothed, I undress them with my eyes while doing so and invite them in every 5 minutes or so...

I also try to manage a hardon if I can...which if managed usually pokes out of the seam in the front of my boxers.

OK, you guys are prolly going to enjoy this. I used to BE ONE. I was raised in it and all. Came time I was about 17 i realized it wasn't for me. I got KICKED OUT OF MY HOUSE, my own grandmother won't even talk to me. Hell, my sister won't even speak to me. At least my dad is a stand-up kind of guy, he talks and puts his foot down and lets me stay in the house when I come to visit.

I got excommunicated for staying over at a girl's house who wasn't a Jehovah's Witness. Mind you, there was NO SEX. It took me a long time to realize that family don't treat you this way no matter what you do.

Ahhh..gotta love the religions that are based on love and harmony.

We'll be happy to adopt you into our porn family. :thumbsup

I don't know shit about Jehovah's Witnesses, tell us some more about your past cult belonging. I'd love some more reasons to hate it...

I don't know about it being a cult, although my finance definitely says it is (she was one too). I see cults as groups with one head guy claiming to be supreme, like the moonies, that waco group, and catholics.

But how in the hell are you supposed to be in a religon that forbids MASTURBATION???

Thank you. Got a sister I can fuck?

Your finances were Jehovah's Witnesses? :1orglaugh

I see a cult as a group that outright dictates how it's people can and can't act. Most religions are not cults according to this. Although religions want you to live under certain guidelines, they won't ban you, and any regular family certainly won't excommunicate their children.

Yes my fiance was raised under Jehovah's Witnesses, she never really bought it though. We met and imagine that, we had LOTS in common to talk about.

I really think Jehovah's Witness families are THE MOST disfunctional people EVER. Man, it was really nice to have a birthday party for the first time when I turned 19 fucking years old. No holloween either. I honestly have issues knowing the dates holidays fall on. It sucks.

As for thier basic beliefs, I am not going to say too much, I really can't DISPROVE anything they teach, and this would be a hell of a thread. All I know is I'm prolly going to hell anyway. Fuck it.

halelulia ! i have the god channel!

So check this out, a friend of mine has terminal cancer. Shes catholic and raised her kids catholic but her oldest son hooked up with a jehova's witness girl, she converted him, then they got married. So i think hes been a JW for about 2-3 years now. He took his mom out to lunch 2 months ago and told her he believed she was going to hell, because shes not a JW. His own fucking mom! This is no joke. Shes got a few months left to live and hes got the BALLS to tell her shes going to hell after hes been in this religion for 3 years tops. Fucking nuts.

Cult, told you so. Fucking kid. Does he have a dad? Sounds like he needs the shit kicked out of him. I hope your friend didn't take it to hard, I wouldn't, coming from one of those fucks.

Usually telling them that you are already Christian sends them away. But then again I avoid them like the plague, kind of like Gideons (you know the old men who hand out little plastic bound New Testament Bibles).

If you're bored enough, there's some interesting shit at this site about Jehovah Witnesses.

The guy that made the site sounds like a crackpot too, but it was still kinda freaky.

OK, not to sound like I am defending this kid...

Hell is a totally different context to Jehovah's Witnesses. It is synonomous to dreamless sleep. So if a Jehovah's Witness tells you you are going to hell, it just means you are going to die. But I don't know how your friend's conversation went. The idea is death is the ultimate price you pay for sin. No eternal suffering. You just don't get to join the party when God wipes out all evil and ressurects all the good ones.

I know ya didn't ask, but if the guy is REALLY a Jehovah's Witness he shoulda made some indication to that effect.

Still, let the woman be for crying out loud. She's about to die and she needs that kind of grief? Fuck.

I know the secret to not make them come back.

Listen up. If you really really don't want to hear them knocking on your door ever again (at least in the US) simply say. "I am not interested, I do not wish to answer any more questions/give you my feelings on anything else. Please put me on your Do Not Call list. If your congregation comes back I will pursue legal action againt you for harassment."

Just replace "congregation" with "company" to have the same effect on individual telemarketing companies.
