Do you not remember feeling at all feel guilty when you were in before? Who do you think taught you to feel guilty about yourself in the first place?!!

It sure as hell does sound like you're confused, and that's is exactly the kind of person that falls for that crap. And the only way a JW can stay unconfused is to turn off their brain and ignore the logic that destroys their infantile and depressing world view. Please get some professional help instead, it will be far better than any temporary love bombing you might be hoping for.

My Personal Proof That Elders Are Not Appointed by Holy Spirit

by TMS in

this topic is not about men living sinfully at the time of their appointment as elders.

it is not about pedophile elders, although i've personally known three, two who were pedophiles at the time of their appointment by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.. first of all a quick summary of what jehovah's witnesses are taught about the appointment of elders and ministerial servants:.

before the visit of the circuit overseer, the local elders meet to consider who, if any, among the local congregation they will recommend as elders or .

Thanks, TMS. It may seem dry to the rest of the world because it was such an obvious and mundane human error. But because errors like this happen with no more or no less frequency than regular everyday human transactions, where does the holy spirit fit in?

My own experience would only show the same holy spirit doesn't have any objection to wankers. Regular polisher of the purple bishop didn't seem to affect my appointment to MS

Nvr most of the time offers up some good and fair thoughts on many subjects.

However when someone's posting almost 40 times a day, he obviously has the need to get his opinion out there, and at times those opinions will be judgmental in nature. We all have them, judgmental opinions that is, to one extent or another yet we tend to not to broadcast them to avoid backlash.

So good on you nvr, for putting your opinion out there, if you've done so to discuss it's validity with other posters arguments pro and con.

Not so good on you though, if it's done just to pick out one individual, when obviously it's not just one posters view.

That was a great review of the court case that came out of Dover, Pennsylvania. As I expected, it didn't put the intelligent design proponents in a very favorable light, for various reasons, one of them being perjury which I didn't expect.

Just a few points that stuck with me,

- the ID proponents claimed the only wished for equal time for their own scientific theory , and no religious ideas were involved. This was proved utterly false when documents surfaced that showed they had merely renamed creationism as intelligent design. Another document called "The Wedge" published by the discovery institute, showed the whole idea of intelligent design was invented, through a series of steps, to reinfuse American culture with Christianity.

- Michael Behe, as the star intelligent design defendant, had to admit that his definition of a scientific theory, under which he allowed intelligent design to be labeled, would also have to allow other spurious ideas such as astrology to fall into that same category.

- the judge, after bringing down his decision to bar Intelligent design from being taught in Dover schools, needed protection from Federal marshals due to various death threats in reaction to his decision. Has anyone ever heard of creationists receiving death threats from evolutionists?

Cheers

God's Kingdom WILL eradicate all problems.

by hamsterbait in

by destroying the starving millions.. by killing the millions who live in poverty.. by killing most people with incurable illnesses.. killing everybody who disagrees with the witchtower.. killing the desperate who turn to stealing to survive.. killing the desperate who turn to prostitution to survive.. killing those who are repelled at doing it with the opposite sex.. killing the rape victims who dodn't scream, and had an abortion rather than an inflicted birth.. killing the doctors who save lives by giving blood transfusions.. killing those who give blood to save lives.. it strikes me it is definitely run by the sort of psychopath that lives in crooklyn.. if you are a problem, then you must die.

kill!

kill!!

Hi Hamsterbait. Interesting topic.
Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out that EVERYBODY got everlasting life except for you? Somehow, everybody figured it all out, except YOU?
Wouldn't that be a hoot? !!!

Hi Jc.

What I find interesting is a post not challenging the content of hamster's post, but an attempt to appeal to her greed, implying she will be missing out whilst everyone else will be oh so alive and happy.

This is a tactic of many a scammer, and only adds to the evidence that religion as a whole has been tops on the scammer list for a long, long time.

Most good scammers though usually pick their audience before plying their trade. How many have bought your particular line of crap here? On the other hand, you'll do less harm here than other places as most recognise your flimflam for what it is.

So OK, stick around, you'll at least serve to remind us the lunacy of our past.

Cheers

Edited to explain that for some reason I thought HB was a female hamster, sorry if I'm wrong.... I like both genders of hamsters by the way, well not THAT way, you know what I mean.....

Quick Q re: "This Generation"

by Sirona in

jw
friends

breakthrough!.

i spoke to my jw mum about the new watchtower study magazine and how in the first issue there is a change in "light" regarding the anointed.. she was floored and totally accepted that if they started to accept new anointed ones (non-replacements) that it *could* indicate that the society are extending the time once again regarding the coming of armageddon.

the idea is that if they accept new anointed ones, then they could be fairly young, hence they could still be around for a lot more years!.

What has this religion become? THE WATCHTOWER madhouse

by Terry in

c.t.russell began with a personal "purpose" which was to find a way to believe in/worship god while doing away with the beliefs he found to be personally uncomfortable such as hellfire.

he shopped around and cherry picked 2nd adventist views as a foundation.

to this he added pyramidology.

I certainly enjoyed that Terry, and it brought to mind this exchange....

Hedley Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Taggart: God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.

Glad to have you back,
