According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders

by flipper in

considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.

2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.

these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

Donations

by FadeToBlack in

i think that since i am the sole wage-earner in our household, i need to make it clear to my wife that i don't want any of my hard-earned wages going to the wt.

i know she makes a monthly contribution to an animal shelter and i am fine with that.

what do you think?

freemindfade

I agree. On both. No to jw.cult and yes to animal rescue.

Dude! flipper thank you! My brother called me a liar and full of BS, because back when he was an elder I'd say 8-10 years ago he claims molesters could never be used (elder MS etc.) He loved throwing that in my face. Told me I was "full of Bull$hit". This is huge.

Anyway to see this letter?

Why I resent being baptized into jw.cult

by freemindfade in

i hate being lynched by my family for being skeptical or rational.

witness treat you as though all morality and good end with belief in the ot god yhwh.

so even if you met or exceeded their moral level and you even doubted his existence.

So even if you met or exceeded their moral level and you even doubted his existence. You lose. Another corpse at Armageddon. Think about what this meme implies for a moment. And the preaching work etc

Even if everything about the "truth" was all true...........

by pontoon in

i will say that one of the most distasteful teachings for me is the idea of praising, thanking, worshiping, god every day for all eternity.

what kind of ego needs that?

like if i ever saved a person's life i would say buy me a bottle of scotch and we'll call it even.

freemindfade

Agreed, something they will never even think about (jws). The idea of "love me or else" but they too practice it in a way. My family has done the most detestable things to me these last two weeks for only expressing the need to think rational and they tool what I said all the way to me preaching atheism. Because for me to think different than them is the greatest insult. You insult our God. You insult us. Same proud bull $hit

The "preaching work" is just laughable!

by cookiemaster in

the "preaching work" they're so eager to brag about is just laughable.

they say their number is an indication of god's blessing.

oh, please, give me a break!

freemindfade

Well for them what is the rush now, 100years came and went, we are on generation version 3.0, if anything now, they may want the preaching to drag out slower. It's buying them time

Why does Bible present God as too imperfect?

by economy in

genesis 1:31 says: god saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

in other words, god rated his works as perfect..

if this is true, why his later works are too imperfect?

freemindfade

Watch Cosmos, the earth and its cycles haven't been perfect for long and are not even now, the sun gives you cancer... they earth has destroyed itself many times in the past. There were embalances in plant life to bacteria for example that made the atmosphere become toxic with carbon dioxide rich air.

I do 100% agree that the bible portrays god as having analog human thinking. The flood is my go to example, obviously god used miracles... to round up animals, make all that rain and so on. Why would and efficient, loving god DROWN nearly every living human (adults and children), almost every animal on the planet, vegetation and so on, when we could snap his fingers and the wicked people would just cease existing if thats what he was so pissed about. But to be so wasteful and destructive... really????

this week's bible reading leviticus chap 19 - 21 - my opening remarks

by user100 in

so.. some asshole visits another asshole but a mob erupts and wants to rape the visiting asshole.. the host asshole offers his daughter and the visiting asshole's concubine to appease the mob.. sure enough.. the concubine ends up gang raped and murdered.

in the morning the visiting asshole loads her up on his donkey, takes her home, dismembers her body into 12 pieces and sends it to all the tribes to incite war.. so an army of 22,000 is formed, some prick goes and asks jehovah if they should go and destroy the gang raping mob.. and jehovah says 'yes.. do it.

they go to fight and loose all 22,000 die.

The reality I believe like Island man, is the bible is guilty of plagiarizing not only other sources but even itself at times. These stories are no more real than Caleb and Sophia, but they were produced if you will to prove a moral point or political cause. Esther is the retelling of a completely pagan story and if you research it it's not even a question! So they took some liberties here in borrowing a similar story.
