Where does the society come up with this?

by mkr32208 in

i keep hearing that adam was 30... how the $#^%^ do they know?

more celebrated scholars work that out for them?

by grace

The Bible, if you believe in it, clearly states that no one knows the day or the hour. If that is the case, then why the hell would anyone even consider trying to figure out the timeframe between Adam being created and then Eve's creation?

Yes, thank you, IF YOU BELIEVE IN IT, and it does clearly state that no one knows, why be trying to figure it out? The answer, stupidity. They obviously have no control over themselves, they desperately want to prove that they have the answers. So, instead, what do they always prove, that they don't know what they're talking about. It's ALL speculation. Ridiculous. To think that we've been exposed to this for ??? however many years!! Ugh, bad association spoils useful habits, for sure!!!

Do you think the Society has spies on sites like this?

not that any of them would post, but do you think that they have people who they secretly have visit anti-jw sites and forums like this just for the purpose of seeing what people are saying about them and what their current members might stumble upon?.

if you google jws, the first couple are official, the next two are wikis, then you have an anti-jw site and then there's this one.

any current or potential member that is looking for more information than is published by the wbts will be directed to these sites.

LOL....You know the WTS always DOES what they tell their followers NOT to do!!!

They follow the age old saying, do as I say, not as I do.

Jesus Camp

did anyone see the movie called jesus camp?

it was on bio channel last night, very creepy these poor kids are so deep in this cult like christian religion.

my wife and i were shocked at what they put these kids through, there is this one part where they are talking about how evil harry potter is and if he was alive back in jesus time he would have been put to death, then later these kids are talking about harry potter and one kid says that his mom won't let him watch it but when he stays with his dad he watches it, all the kids look at him with this "oh my god he is the devil" look, this movie is a documentary and reminds me of that movie saved.

by grace

They were actually comparing themselves to Muslims and talking about creating a Gods army of kids and that these kids should die for Jesus

It reminds me of how the WTS teaches the women to be a strong army for Jehovah. They are going for the ones that they can bring in and get them to do the most work.

Do JWS go out in the door to door work in the evenings ?

Oh, Homerovah, You can always do some DRIVING AROUND looking for those not at homes & return visits and smack down some hot dogs in the car!! If there isn't a car in their driveway, they're probably not at home! More hot dogs!! LOL

Has the mass exodus begun?

by kool aid man06 in

it's truly exciting to see all of the "rapid fire" changes taking place in the watchtower org.

buildings are being sold, kingdomhalls are "compressing", bethelites are being sent home, watchtower format changing to public issues and private issues, more and more judicial committee meetings being held for apostasy.

(the watchtower is dead it just hasn't fallen over yet!

by grace

Oh theres an exodus going on...and believe me there are many still sitting in the seats of those halls whose minds, souls and hearts are long gone that know if they actually PHYSICALLY leave...they will lose their wives, their children their lifelong friends..becuase they are being held by the SHORT HAIRS in that seat and the Society knows if they release that grip, that shunning...that there WILL be a mass PHYSICAL exodus.

How they do it, I don't know! To all you JWs who stay for your family ((((HUGS)))) May you all be free soon!!!

a friend who is an intelligent high-flying business woman is going through a relationship break-up and is also recovering from breast cancer.

she is not religious but has been turning to 'new-age' beliefs to try to help her cope, (she has visited a numerologist and had her palm read).

she has just sent me an email with a description of 12 different personalities based on star signs.

But as soon as anyone starts reading information, they're gonna have a serious... crisis of conscience. How can they effectively spy without losing followers to reality?

You would think so, wouldn't you???? Unless, they know exactly what they're doing, and they're fine with it. It reminds me of what Dr. Phil said to someone on his show, the woman said, how could he not remember what he did? Dr. Phil said to her, "Have you ever thought that maybe he's lying?" The grandpa is supposed to be on the show again today....this time, admitting his guilt. Sometimes people do and say things.....knowingly. You can't have a crisis in conscience if you have no conscience. That's a scary thought!

Are they spies? Not really. The internet is open to everyone.

I think they are spying, it's all about their intent.

As the definition of spying says: to watch secretly, usually for hostile purposes. They are not trying to learn something, or support anyone, they're just looking for a loophole to get into so they can shut it down. Right???

I don't have a lot of faith in the generic horoscopes, but I think there is definitely something to the Astrological charts. I'll tell you what, my husband is definitely a Gemini, and I have five Virgo signs in my astro chart, and I'd call myself an extreme Virgo. LOL It's true, your Sun sign is not all there is to it. I've done some research into it: Your Sun sign is your basic nature and strategies favored in dealing with life situations (inner being), sense of self or essence or character deep down inside. Your Rising Sign is how you see yourself, how you appear to others on first impression & how you want to appear, not who you are, it is how you act, your image, style & mannerisms. Your Moon sign indicates your emotional level - feelings, fears, sense of security or safety. Check out this site to do your own for free: http://www.alabe.com/freechart/
