1) science and technology appeared as a savior to mankind, yet the overall result points to the opposite direction.. http://aeon.co/magazine/science/why-has-human-progress-ground-to-a-halt/.

Keep thinking, keep learning, keep growing.
Usually when people post things like this, it's because of something known as cognitive dissonance. Once in a while they experience discomfort because the things they're being teached don't add up and cannot be verified, so they try to get rid of that feeling by preaching harder. This is an often futile attempt to eliminate that discomfort.
Sometimes our emotions can teach us, if we listen.
a flash mob is defined as a large public gathering at which people perform an unusual or seemingly random act and then disperse.. jws are now in on the act and were doing this in bath on unsuspecting convention delegates during their tours after the convention.
they did this on at least three seperate occassions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hmrqr-k4hq.
here's another one, not so public though.
losing grasp little by little on the young JW
I thought that at first too, but did you see the ages of the singers in the first video? That really struck me. I can't believe these are the same people who lived through 1975, 80s, end of the century w/o the preaching work ending as predicted, 2014, etc., and then they do this. I guess that shows the power of the cult. They will go along with anything, I guess.

Late on the draw, just like jw.borg--flash mobs are not new.
But anyways, good for them for having some innocent fun. The more mainstream the cult gets, the more they can hope to boost recruitment and retention=bad thing.
I guess innocent only if it's not a brainwashing song. I can't recognize it, nor can I understand the lyrics.
all the animals on earth were destroyed in the flood of noahs day apart from those in the ark ,apparently no sea creatures were destroyed in the flood , why is that ?.
this is not an issue that only affects jehovahs witnesses , it is one that affects all beleivers that accept the bible as gods word.. obviously sea creatures were not put on the ark , no whales ,no dolphins , no fish , no krill , no plankton etc.
you can fill in the rest .. so my question is , why were land animals / birds singled out for destruction ?, what wrong did they do to deserve this judgement against them .
The rationalization is as follows.
Animals are soulless objects, like plants. Their suffering does not matter in the least. He created them and he can destroy them as he pleases. If he wants to make more, he can just blink them into existence (with 6 days' notice), like in Bewitched.
jehoopla did not want to go to the trouble of recreating the animals, but knew Noah's descendants would need them for their pleasure and to work for them. Hence, he had Noah save a few of them to procreate.
He had the sea creatures instantly evolve the mechanism to survive in salt and fresh water mixed together so he didn't have to teach stupid Noah how to build tanks in the ark.
Good find!
I was trying to read the whole page, but can't. I saw, "Miracle Oil Sales Company, Brooklyn, NY". I did a search and found this page. It looks like it's quoting a Golden Age article.I see Yonkers mentioned. The transcript is a bit wonky, so you really have to look at the image.
The article claims, "Miracle Oil Sales Company...was formerly connected to the Golden Age publishing plant"!!! I don't think I've seen this solid of a connection with a commercial enterprise, except Miracle Wheat.
The claims about the product read exactly like a wts publication. It's perfect, it does everything, it's going to solve all your problems, and it's not connected to Satan's Big Business Conspiracy. Only we have such solutions!

congratulations

she should treat him understandingly, as a fellow human
GOOD LORD. WHAT SICKOS THEY ARE!
mom: yes?.
you dont want to make jehovah sad, do you mom?.
mom: okay.. .
Excuse me, what does God need with a starship?
What does Jehovah need with gravediggers though? Why wouldn't he just make them disappear, or bury them himself? Why would he traumatize the faithful ones by forcing them to bury those he murdered?
yes it happen again with our youngest son.
this last monday we got a letter from him telling us how unloving we are because we are no longer jw.
