here's a great jw brain stumper about noah

by nowwhat? in

so noah was a preacher of righteousness.

than how did he warn other pockets of civilizations that were hundreds or thousands of miles away?

and if they were destroyed anyway i thought jehovah only acts after he gives clear warning.. and if there were no other civilzations why the need to destroy the entire earth of every living creature?

That tale is like swiss cheese. The longer you look at it the more holes you find.

Around the 1700s another writer of similar tales penned stories that are more interesting . He writes about a character called Gulliver!

"...all to interact..." Not so. Active JW'S who try to propagate their religion on this website often get ram-rodded pretty hard. This also includes Scientiologists among others though none have been eager to venture into these realms so far. OH yes !Brahma Kumaries too. ESPECIALLY Brahma Kumaries.

By the way . Which part of India are you from?

My new answer to an annoying question we have all been asked.

by doubtfull1799 in

well new to me anyway, i'm sure someone smarter than me has thought of this before.

the next time i get asked the perennial (and tired old) question: “but you do believe that the gb are god’s channel of communication, the organisation he is using, don’t you?” or some variation thereof, i am going to reply with two verses and reason as follows:.

the matter to be established: have the gb of jehovah’s witnesses received divine appointment to act as god’s representatives and channel of communication on earth?.

Hairtrigger

...do you believe that the GB..."

You bet.

Channel to a non existent entity preaching a non existent "truth", hoping for a non existent future and empty worship to a non existent god.

PLACE OF PILGRIMAGE

by Hairtrigger in

it just struck me while reading another post on the forum.

the catholics have numerous shrines all over the world and places of pilgrimage and the mother of them all ... rome.

the muslims have mecca and medina.

Baker: yup he did . But his coolaid killed. But the GB's coolaid... it keeps you on the rack. Squeezing very ounce of money ,emotion, individual and free thought, indeed your very soul. Wringing it dry so that you want to die but cant! That's the difference.

Blondie: Most Jws have never heard of Beth Sarin and if they do it's put down to " all apostate driven lies".

Now speaking of Warwick and the advert to visit. Does this translate to more money? The dumb hobites must of course be ecstatic that they are privileged to walk Hobo god's Sanctum Santorum.The place where he , through his progeny jesus, will rule the earth "Oh!so very soooon!."

The awe and the majesty of the place must loosen their parsimonious purses and ...Cha Ching! The previously bursting coffers of the GB now are mountains of never ending green streams of Ben Franklins! Along with the foolish gold silver and real estate haplessly donated by the hypnotized wide - eyed halibuts!

And they return home thrilled, overjoyed and bursting with happiness . HOBO god has blessed them with a glimpse of his domain- never mind the warning jinggles of meagre nickels and dimes in their impecunious pant pockets!

Hobo god will provide!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA

That's the insane laughter of the GB. All the way to the Bank!!

It just struck me while reading another post on the forum. The Catholics have numerous shrines all over the world and places of pilgrimage and the mother of them all ... ROME. The muslims have Mecca and Medina. The Mormons have Utah. The Jews Jerusalem. The JW'S now have Warwick as a place of pligrimage. Of course the Bethel in each country is also a place of pligrimage locally. And these bastards claim their religion is different from all others. Yup differently similar! But same difference?

What's your degree of anti-JWness?

by Landy in

so, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is absolutely pro-jw, 5 is neutral and 10 is youtubing nutjob apostate, where do you stand?.

i'm probably around a 6. i have the view that jws are a nothing marginal religion.

if i hadn't been brought up as one i doubt they would have ever entered my consciousness.. the reasons it's a 6 and not a 5 is that i have some concerns over their child baptism and safeguarding procedures, but i think it's down to them being a bit dim rather than any pro child abusing ethos.

Wasn't there a thread similar to this a few months ago!

"Those Who Leave Are Doomed..."

by AllTimeJeff in

in mission impossible 3, ethan hunt (aka tom cruise) and his protege (aka keri russell) have an explosive pellet implanted in their heads through their nose by the bad guys as a way to control them.

the only way to to stop it from detonating is to use a defibrillator or some device to send massive electric shocks to the body, thus short circuiting the deadly implant.

hunt's protege doesn't get the help she needed in time, and she dies.

I empathize with your situation. Although I was associated with JW's for over 20 years I was a JW for just 7. My exit was easy knowing all the while I was going to tell them to FU and FO If they ever came around to question me. Those of us who have had it easy when exiting, do not realize the trauma, fear and ..if I may...PTSD associated with leaving the cult. My heart goes out to those who have made the break after many years or... all their lives living the lie that is the JW religion. I SALUTE ALL who have left this effing cult and are trying to put their hearts minds and lives together. I understand the uphill task that such ones are experiencing - shunning and rejection feom near and dear ones among other struggles both emotional and financial

Especially the aged among us who are stuggling to adjust to the real world. My heart goes out to all of you . I wish each and every one of you an earnest and heartfelt adjustment to the new life outside the cult. May each and everyone of you find the happiness that each of us seek in this life. And may each and everyone of you eject everything about this cult from your minds. To that endeavour I urge you to strive towards and cherish the hope that you will be steel - willed towards doing. Once again I salute you for your courage in exiting this cult.
