lol great topic Auld mate!
As long as people give the dubs and the rest of religion the short shrift they deserve, the world will be a brighter place!
Once the digital divide is bridged, the world will be a better place, but there will always be those around who choose to be led like lambs to the slaughter, let them be I say. If humankind is to survive the next century, we need to stop apologising to the lowest common denomination and dumbing down intellect, freethinking and our explorer spirit. The people that spend their lives in a religious man made euphoria deserve to live that life, let them go!

A more effective way to spare the lives of billions!
by AuldSoul inat the outset i wish to make clear i am not an advocate of the course of action discussed herein.
i do not agree with the governing body's teachings on the result of the good news of the kingdom.. but if i did:.
i would have to recognize that (1) it takes more than 4,000 hours (in fact, about 188 days of 24-hours straight per day) of witnessing to gain one baptized witness, (2) persons taught "the truth" are more accountable before god than the rest of society, (3) those who "hear and reject" may very well be deemed deserving of eternal destruction at armageddon, (4) there is about 1 jw publisher per 1,200 people, (5) those who die before armageddon are very likely to be resurrected because their sins are paid for, and (6) there is no greater expression of love than being willing to sacrifice your own life for the lives of others.. this being the case, even if it cost me my everlasting life to do it (see point 6) i could save many more people in a much shorter time by killing everyone i see.

Gog of Magog, UN etc
by yaddayadda inhi, does anyone know if there has been anything in any watchtowers or other watchtower publications since june 1 2003 which shed any more light on the below?:.
the watchtower, june 1, 2003 issue, page 20, paragraph 11: .
"gog of magog is identified as satan the devil in his debased condition since 1914. as a spirit creature, he cannot carry out his attack directly, but will use human agencies to do his deeds.

and people fear this debased creature????? FFS, he can't even do any of his own dirty work, the lazy s.o.b.!
Speculation, so lets see for every 1 in 100 events one will resemble some idea of a "sign" how convenient, not that co-incidence is a word widely used in teh Dub universe.
i have no sympathy for the brain dead sheep! they deserve to get "persecuted" -

New Watchtower Distribution System...
by zeroday into expedite the final delivery of wt literature the watchtower has adopted a new distribution system.
as the rolls of paper and ink etc arrive at the printing facilities they go directly to the printing presses where 10's of thousands of books, magazines, tracts etc are printed every hour.
they are then packaged and sent to the shipping docks where they are loaded onto semi trucks.

ahahaaha
I can't beleive they are still printing stuff! Think of all the waste and ecological damage they cause to this planet using all those trees, chemicals in production, hydrocarbons in transport. If they truly respected "The Big J's" creation, they would minimise the impact they have on his creations. Bet they don;t think about that eh, If I was God, id be seriously pissed off by now! -

omg! i was bored just reading that, pity the foo's who have to sit there and "participate" I used to hate the Thursday meetings, specially if i had a talk, always got criticised/commented on "lack of gestures" like how fcuking animated do you want me to be brother!!!!!
Those 3-5 minutes up there, i prayed for my slot to be in the 2nd school! I remember getting commented on my attire once by the scruffiest school overseer who always smelt of wee, because I, shock horror! was not wearing a suit but a lovely navy blue blazer and grey pure wool pants and my Sebago loafers! a right preppy look! My shoes cost more than this morons wardrobe! I think i just laughed at him and said its not really relevant or something! -

Why have you rejected all forms of faith?
by AlmostAtheist init seems that when a person leaves jw's, there's just no telling where he'll end up spiritually.
christian, jew, pagan, jamesthomasism -- i dare say every faith is represented among us.. but there are those that reject faith altogether.
they are often accused of letting the watchtower steal god from them, or throwing the baby out with the bath.. are you one those that rejected faith altogether after your exit?

a male can have one but he wouldnt get any privilidges and would probably be labeled the black sheep.

Seriously though Jesustm more than likely had one. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander
i used to think the exact same thing!!!! Im like WTF, never seen the son of God, clean shaven in any pics, soon as he left his carpenters apprenticeship he was sporting a flavour-saver, and in EVERY picture, our beloved saviour wears a BEARD!!!
Just goes to show, probably some bearded lothario boned a member of the GB's wife, so it got personal. Thats how all Dub dictates are arrived at. -

faith? that most human of distractions.
You say you beleive in aliens/UFO's etc and people laugh at you. Say you believe in God and your patted on the back! Their both the same, yet i'd be more inclined to belive in aliens because of the sheer probability in our massive universe (which by the way just happened to exist one day :) -
