Has anyone noticed how Tony Morris is always referring to his notes ?

by Chook in

i honestly believe he has memory difficulties, him and mr letts iq is not much greater than a rabbit.

no the rabbit wins..

For shame! The poor man's mind is preoccupied with choosing the socks he's going to wear in heaven!

i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.

What I get from this talk is that they want your life, they want to yank you from learning if that's what you're doing in order to serve them full time in non paid publicity and/or building work, they like to especially take your young, does this sound like a cult to you?

Why Do People Become JWs?

by minimus in

jw

i was born in the religion but why on earth do people join this religion?

?.

There's a danger of overgeneralizing of course, but I would like to add a couple of things, men (and women) are often looking for answers to life and if there's something that ties everything quite neatly together there's an attraction, men like games and puzzles a lot, so a people that claim to solve, Daniel, Ezekiel and REVELATION are HUGE, there was a time when alot of women were home alone with babies and small children, so regular company coming by was welcomed, for what it's worth those coming out of the territory were almost always pretty young and POOR,

by _Morpheus in

I noticed the dress change at my last conventions, over the six decades that I was in the people's dress had a quasi Amish feel to it, I had no real opinion about it but there was this certain feeling that I liked from the way they dressed, I recall enough brothers in sports jackets, now, the vast majority were wearing black suits, I can't even think of another setting where men would be dressed like this, I mentioned this to my Uber-Elder son who went into an apologetic involving black going so well in all seasons :) (absolutely nothing can be remarked upon) Changes yes, but creepy changes, I'm not a fan and would now be embarassed to bring an "interested" one,

A: I'm outraged

B: I'm reminded of Bill Nye touring The Ark Project with Ken Ham, they were debating a number of points as they walked when they came upon a number of school aged kids, (this caught my attention as I have two jw grandchildren) Nye listened to their indoctrinated nonsense but he didn't engage them, instead he said: "I want to really encourage you kids to go to University"

C: The leaders of the jw religion are calculating and evil

D: I'm outraged

E: jws are apparently mindless puppets, note how the audience applauds whenever he raises his voice even at inappropriate times,

(if you're in University you're "accountable to Jehovah for this" so get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness (implied) )

Who takes the title as to the greatest apostate ?

by Chook in

some may say gb , other may say popes , jesus he qualified as one and started his own religion.

terry on the forum he is up there.

it's that religious zeal against a former life.

tepidpoultry

Capernicus, Galileo, da Vinci, Martin Luther, Henry VIII, John Calvin, Sir Isaac Newton, William Miller, Joseph Smith, Ellen G White, CT Russell, FJ Rutherford, (I feel uncomfortable putting Ray Franz with some of the people I've listed so I won't)

And since we have such a great cloud of apostates before us...

Study with an Elder - propose a question.

by CitizenofEarth in

hello there.. as some of you might remember i am keeping my facade up by "studying" with an elder.

this study however is more of a session where i put hard questions about the org, doctrine and so on, on the table.

the time has come for the next session in a couple of days, and i have quite frankly lost the will to keep digging up things that just shouldn't be happening.

Hi, if you're interested in how Science disproves the Bible I suggest Aron Ra's Youtube videos He has several on the Flood alone :0)

Astronomy! Carl Sagan wrote reams about evidential reasoning, on a bit of a tangent is all the evidence against a 4000 year old flood and 6000 year old man, complete skeletons of early man etc but you will have to read up somewhere, find a ready source of information hmm :) (there's this magic google button I've heard about)

Anything i should know about the upcoming convention?

by CitizenofEarth in

anything i should be aware of?

i am not sure i will go, since i just moved away from home a month ago.

it is not cheap to travel 250km and pay for hotel here in denmark, and i am not exactly rich.

I see your choice as: listen to DY and go to the convention or go to jwfacts.com and get an education,
