Society interferes in marriage AGAIN.
by dmouse inive not been so angry for a long time.. the watchtower article entitled jehovah hates the course of treachery in the may 1st 2002 issue is a masterpiece of bullshit.
there are so many points in it i feel that i should make more than one thread.. in this thread i will deal with the issue of marriage discussed from paragraph 13 onwards.
paragraph 15 warns against marrying an unbeliever and confirms the societys view that only jehovahs witnesses will survive armageddon, so why bother marrying someone who will die soon?.

Organized Religion
by picosito inorganized religion is organized simply to keep its organization together, to propagate and finance itself.
look at jesus' words.
he was like the buddha in simply trying to get people to look at their relationship with god and/or their own spirituality.

Do you make statements in the form of a question?
by Elsewhere inever notice how the wts rarely ever makes a clear statement?
they tend to phrase things in the form of a question allowing the reader to infer the "correct" answer.. i wonder if this is to sidestep responsibility.. .

My brief WT article with almost all WT buzzwords
by comment infine counsel--how does it benefit us today?.
1. fine, wholesome counsel has a happifying effect.
it educates and benefits the great crowd of overcomers, whose steadfast reliance on jehovah and the spiritual food from his organization truly is a cause for rejoicing.. 2. too, suchlike ones manifest their support for god's arrangement by regularly assembling at christian meetings and submissively acknowledging the headship of spirit-appointed elders.

How important is good spelling?
by sleepy inif you read my post's you may have noticed i'm not the best at spelling.. i think i could be dyslexic, my father and one of my sisters are, and i tend to make the same mistakes.. also i havent had the need to do much writing since i left school so i'm out of practise.. i believe i'm getting in better, at least i hope so .. anyway the point is this.i once had a discusson with a brother about spelling.he believed there was a correct absolute standard for spelling words, which was the oxford dictionary.. the way it was spelt there is the way to spell it.. if they changed the spelling you should change.. but i feel things like spelling are not absolute.of course people need to understand what we write.but i feel small changes to words to make them fit more inline with how we say them would be benifical.. what is the point of having a word spelt a different way to how it is said?.
but do you judge poster's intelligence on their spelling?.
i guess we mostly do.. how important to you is the way people spell?

The Watchtowers Compassion Toilet
by metatron inwe all know what toilets are for - the disposing of.
waste, dead goldfish, etc.. now, the watchtower society finds charity and compassion.
to be highly inconvenient things - giving to the poor.
