  Revelation, its Grand Climax.... remember when?

  by wallsofjericho in

  2. bible

  i remember being at the assembly in 1988?

  when this was released.

  everyone was so excited that we finally had a simple explanation of revelation with pictures.

  Why do "Apostates/exjws" always go into "Watchtower-bashing" when you show them inconsistencies in the Bible?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have noticed with "apostates/exjws" they always resort to "watchtower-bashing" whenever you show them inconsistencies of the bible.

  we could be talking about contradictions, such as where did cain get his wife if adam,eve, abel, and cain were the only ones on earth?

  the usual answer when they cannot answer will be "well the wt gave false prophecies in 1975".

  Everyone knows that the Watchtower had the Bible written long ago so they could use it to dominate people. Remember Moses Russell? and Samson Rutherford? There was of course Rahab Knorr, the first wife of Nathan. Who can forget Jeremiah Henschell. They're all in there. And that's why the Bible is a silly book. Does that do it for ya? Give me a break. The storybook illustrated Bible had it right, a total comic book.

  People can be "Slaves" of thier desires. People can "Slave" for Christ. Does that make them the "Faithful & Discrete Slave"? Well since they have said that the FDS is a religious construct and not a person I guess anyone could be so long as they fit the construct they built. Reality says different. If any one of those "Slaves" of Christ were faithful they would quality I think. What do I know? I dont believe any of it anyway. Its their rules so I just apply them back at them.

  What really woke me up: I started noticing most JWS are weirdos..

  Though I agree with Blondie that weirdos are everywhere, the JW's seem to attract them en-masse. The desperate and the mentally deficient come running to the panda world message. Beyond that, with all the health food crazieness and suspiscion of the medical world they tend to be more on the high end of the simplistic mentality scale. If you can accept overlapping gnerations unquestionably, then you are weird. Even little minds feel big when they believe they are smarter than all the Bible scholars in the world with their Bible based truths.

  Michael Brown verdict discussion policy

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  it's likely that the grand jury verdict on the michael brown incident will be released in the coming days or weeks.. i've no doubt many people are going to feel strongly about things whatever the verdict is.. whatever the outcome though, here's what's not going to happen:.

  we're not going to put up with inflamatory language and comments designed to rile others up.

  be respectful.. we will not allow accusations of racism simply because some have a view of the verdict that contradicts others.. there will not be invented evidence or claims being repeated - if it's been falsely reported or debunked then it's off limits.. it's not going to be an opportunity for people to air past gripes over past discussions.. if you feel that you cannot discuss the subject in a rational way then it may be better to simply avoid any topics on the matter.. please try to be objective and respectful if you do decide to comment and not keen to take offense.

  We have to be careful not to overreact to words. The killing of Michael Brown was homicide though it remains to be seen if it was justifiable.

  "Most states allow justifiable homicide to defend oneself or another from credible threat of serious crimes such as rape, armed robbery and murder."

  The whole crux of the Michael Brown case is whether it was in fact a justifiable homicide or not.

  took the magazines in the waiting room and dumped them in the trash.

  was a great feeling.

  to think many witnoids wont dare throw out the surplus magazines they have in stacks around the house is amazing.

To think many witnoids wont dare throw out the surplus magazines they have in stacks around the house is amazing. I was like that. Remember how they said that reading a magazine was like having "personal contact with the Faithful Slave?" What baloney. So, do you dump them when you see them, or are you one who bothers to put stickers on them to sites exposing WT falsehoods? Or ignore them altogether?

  How to Knock Nazi Elders off their high horse

  the borg has many inconsistencies, when the topic is helping humble and honest people achieve their full potential.

  consider a working man who works 40 to 60 hours a week and still manages to show up to all the meetings, participate, do all of his assigned work within the kh, but his ministry has slipped to 8 hours per month.

  this same man is working hard to move up within the ranks only to get shut down without even knowing.. .

  These decisions are generally made by the body or the service comittee. Seldom does an elder have autonomy. I doubt he was alone on the decision. I won't dispute he was an ass hat. Considering that those appointed often see through the BS its probably too bad more aren't appointed so they can wake up.

  What the recent court cases prove about the Governing Body

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for years we have debated on this board about whether or not the governing body are truly wicked or just clueless.

  these recent court cases have hammered home their true nature.

  they are willfully evil, deliberately and recklessly endangering the lives of tiny innocent children.

  When you are a brother of Christ, its even closer to the big guy than the Vicar of Christ. They are family. Don't mess with Jesus' family. Trust me, this is how they think.

  A Vote That Was Widely Ignored

  if i learned anything from my witness experience, it is that, in balance, there can be too much of an obsession to punish, punish, punish.. while the media wastes time over tweedeldee vs tweedeldum elections, the issues of real improvement and liberty get ignored.

  given the eclectic backing of this measure, it suggests to me that it will go nationwide and that's good.. there is hope amidst the partisan nonsense.. .

  I was surprised it passed. The major concerns were Roofies and stolen guns. Maybe the gun thieves will overdose on Roofies? We can hope.
