  All Seeing Eye on WBTS Video!

  by Alan Forbes in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was on the jw.org website today and decided to watch a video entitled 'respect jehovah's authority'.

  to my surprise approximately 3mins 25secs into the video, as the opening title began to fade, a symbol of the all seeing eye (eye of horus) appeared on the screen.

  the scene was not set in egypt, but in a hebrew tent in the wilderness where praise was being sung to jehovah!!

  Christians are saying, 'In the beginning, God..." Atheists are saying "So where did God come from?".

  Blah blah blah.

  I have an Atheist miracle: My baby is going to be born in a couple of months, dog willing!

  "Montgomery was given a chance to address the court but chose not to."

  I think that if the son was making it all up the mother would have something to say about her innocence.

  I dunno... seems legit.

  "A few of my JW relatives and friends too had thawed and were on civil if not friendly terms."

  Wait, no, it's a scam.

  apparently it was announced last night.

  i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.

  i understand it is due to my apostate book.

  maksutov, I see you're in the UK. If you live anywhere near Stroud I'd love to go for a beer some time.

  Sad to hear Maksutov, but not hugely surprising I should imagine?

  Chin up! You're a brave person!

  Another reason god is a terrible "father"

  by _Morpheus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  its easy to look around and say if a singular all powerful were real he would stop the suffering of man and animal, a position i support.

  however there is another even more basic premise i have pondered at times as well (im sure im not the first of course) : would any loving parent ever hide from their children?

  consider it... our all knowing all loving father hides from us even though we cry out to know him.

  Not only that, but he abandons them in a house which is full of things which can kill them!

  AND if the kids go in daddy's "special" cupboard and find his "special mags" then he'll kill them himself!

  The poor and deprived life of JW children.

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.

  i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.

  we went to meetings.

  Esse quam videri , as you have returned to this thread and aren't just another of those drive-by posters can I ask you if you have read this site: http://www.jwfacts.com/ ?

  We can talk about our personal experiences and opinions 'til the cows come home but what really matters is facts.

  If the JW's do have "The Truth" and are God's representatives on earth then it doesn't matter what anybody's opinion about birthdays or blood or any other subject are. If, on the other hand the JW religion does not have the truth, are deliberately misleading and even tell outright lies then none of their commands have any validity.

  That's the crux of the matter and until you have the facts any other discussion is just gum flapping.
