Children's comic about Lot and his family on jw.org
by DuvanMuvan inthe comic (which you can find here) is pretty much everything i dislike about the wt.. if you've read it you'll see how they have added to/ taken away parts of the account to make it read how they would like you to read it.. in this version, lot's wife is a materialistic b*tch who got what she deserved and lot is a hero who stood up to the bad sodomite men.. no doubt you also saw all the wonderful images of people dying while fire and sulphur rained down from the skies.
and who says the wt don't provide for the "young ones".
the part about this that makes me really mad is that this stuff is aimed at children.

The part about this that makes me really mad is that this stuff is aimed at children. When they grow up even the most perveted things in the bible won't phase them because they'll be used to it and won't even question it.
sorry if the link isn't working, computer's being annoying.

Just noticed something else that proves the Bible is made up.
by BU2B inexodus 9 then the lord said to moses, go to pharaoh and say to him, this is what the lord, the god of the hebrews, says: let my people go, so that they may worship me.
2if you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, 3the hand of the lord will bring a terrible plague on your livestock in the fieldon your horses, donkeys and camels and on your cattle, sheep and goats.
4but the lord will make a distinction between the livestock of israel and that of egypt, so that no animal belonging to the israelites will die.?.

DD it makes you wonder what kind of all-knowing, merciful god doesn't go for the easiest/least damaging option.
If god wanted to make his name known maybe he should try telling people indiviually instead of getting one random guy to do it for you and then kill everyone for not doing what you want.

Please explain God's wisdom in Judges19;22-30
by jam inthe just of the account, two people enter a city and can not .
find lodging.
an old man invite them to stay with him (levite).. this is so weird, all the men of the city come to have sex with.

it's probably a way the writer tries to make the men seem more twisted seeing how homosexuality was viewed back then.

Life for me as a jw (not really) teenager

Thanks never a jw.
i wanna see how my mum reacts when she realises that I apparently fit the description of an apostate to an extent but I'm still the same person as I always was. She has been leaniant in the past so she might realise that when they talk about apostates or "worldy people" it doesnt apply to everyone who isn't a jw.

So Spill the Beans, Brothers: Were There More or Fewer At this Year's Bore-Fest
by steve2 inthe jw date-worshipped memorial has just completed its bleak worldwide commemoration.
that wasn't a dust cloud you saw; it was a millionfold hearts limply beating themselves into another round of great tribulation expectations.
i was knocked into a deep, deep sleep by the imagined experience of being at several thousand consecutive kingdom halls as the platformed drones spat forth the predictable sludge that, once released, hits and stains white clothing and bleach is useless.. we know that memorial attendance worldwide has dipped for two consecutive years since 2011 when it reached a high of 19,374,737 and for the promised land, obama's usa, the all time memorial attendance high was also 2011 when it hit over 2.5million (2,563,518) but shrunk in shame back to 2,502,055 in 2012 and spluttered upwards a handful or two to 2,504,114 last year.. so, what was attendance at the date-obsessed bore-fest this year in your neck of the woods?

In my congregation there were about twice as many people and there are two congregations that use this particular hall. A lot of them were family/friends of some people that came over from spain recently

Our speaker kept mentioning that when Jesus said "this is my body/blood" he wasn't being literal like "some churches teach" like up until now, no one knew

I had to go and there was this woman who I could tell was finding it really boring. During the meeting there was a team of about 5 babies scattered around the hall that were all dead-set on making as much noise as possible and we both had to stop ourselves laughing. The sister who invited her also had to stop her fom eating the bread because the speaker only went on about the earthly and heavenly hope but without mentioning that only some could partake.
There was also this weird moment when they were passing the bread and wine around and because they didn't want the younger children to spill anything, the brother just held it for them and let them touch the plate/glass.

On the way to the memorial today my mum and I had a conversation that pretty much went like this:
mum: Duvan try not to be too frank if someone asks why you haven't been to a meeting in a while
me: what do you mean?
mum: well instead of saying things like you don't believe in god or that the bible is god's word, just say that you aren't sure about some things
me: why should I do that, if they're my beliefs why does it matter how I say it?
mum: well because when you say things like that I'm worried that you sound like an apostate. I haven't given birth to an apostate have I?
me: wait what IS an apostate?
mum: you know, those people that say things about the witnesses on the internet etc
me: what do they say
mum: I don't know, apostate things
that last part isn't exactly what she said but I know it made the same amount of sense as what she said

A point which virtually every JW will miss in this week's book study
by sir82 infrom this week's book study, the "draw close to jehovah" book, chapter 5:.
biologists have identified well over a million species of living things on earth; yet, opinions vary as to whether there may be as many as 10 million, 30 million, or more.. .
wow!

tried to point this out to my mum and a brother once. My mum decided to "wait on jehovah" and the brother completely ignored it
