Being told that "Not all people will die at Armageddon"
by Robert7 inmy wife, who while still (at least partially) in, is an open thinker, agrees with me for the most part, and has made a recent observation... .
she brings up with her friends how it's difficult to believe that all non-jws, over 6 billion will die at armageddon.
plus will die becuase they didn't accept some magazine.

how to amaze a JW
by ninja input 2 cards in your pocket you have pre-written....one says...."new light"....the other says ..."where else can we go?
".......approach a jw...... put them on the spot with a few pointed questions......when they give their usual responses....i.e "new light" and "show me something better and i'll go there"....pull out the appropriate cards and they will think you are a prophet....or even better.....realise they are in a cult spouting programmed responses.....he he....ninja

JW came into work today.
by noni1974 ini was at work in my office as my boss jokingly calls it.a lady walk in to get 2 tires she had ordered put on.i have her sit down to wait because all of my bays were full.i noticed she was reading a small paper bound book.she was underlining it as she read.i got the feeling she may be a jw.i wanted to ask her but i didn't.my number one job at work is to make customers feel comfertable and i thought telling her i'm a raging apostate might make her feel uncomfertable being in the same room with me.. when she opened her walet to give me her visa card i saw the blood card.it confirmed my suspitions of her.. you will be happy to know i got my apostate cooties all over her service car and visa card..

My motivation is to point out irony when it happens so bluntly. Turn about be fair play, remember she said:
Thinking to myself how she must be mind numbingly bored reading that trash.
So it was kind of a joke.You could say this thread is throw-away material. However it is odd to see how obsessive some people can be where coming into contact with a JW can actually be a noteworthy experience. Not debating or having some prolonged chit-chat with one, just noticing one! It's an interesting dynamic.

A SP parody of JW's would be funny for us, and us only. Nobody else cares. When they make fun of Mormons, it's funny because there's a freaking ton of them especially in western States, and the story about the magic golden plates found in a hillside in PA is so silly and ripe for ridicule. And Scientology, with all its celebrity adherents and sci-fi beliefs is another faith™ that is eminently ridiculable in a way that is funny for everybody (well, except Tom Cruise). JWism is just a boring, obscure Adventist offshoot.
When you take into consideration how Mormons and JWs count their members there is not much difference in numbers or "significance". Maybe Stone and Parker (who I believe grew up in Mormon country, or pretty close) may be Mormon themsleves, or at least grew up Mormon. Maybe that is why they parody them? Stone also did a movie called "Orgazmo" in which Stone, a Mormon, becomes a porn star. Too coincidental for Stone to not have direct ties to Mormomdry um... Mormondess, or, gee, ummmm..... Mormonosity.

Trash THIS!
by Farkel inhere is an interesting challenge for the folks.
this thread revolves around one subject, and that is thomas paine's brilliant critique of the bible written in about 1795. he did most of this from memory, while in prison in france.. http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/thomas_paine/age_of_reason/.
the challenge is this: critique his essays.

I just stumped our PO!!!
by The Last Nephilim ini have never seen this guy stumped on a bible topic or point before, but history was made today!!!
he and a soon-to-be elder were doing a shepherding call on my wife and i because we've missed weeks worth of meetings and had no service time for dec. he went through the usual lectures about how we're cutting off jehovah by missing meetings (because we all know god won't lift a finger for those who don't go to meetings, right?
) he gave some good illustrations- the guy really is a good teacher, it's just what he's teaching that's questionable.

Yes, you have missed the point. The issue is not regarding the possessive at all, but the inclusion of the definite article, 'the' (ho) in, 'the God [of] me'. Thomas is quoted as referring to 'the' god of his, not 'a' god of his. That is the issue in question.
I think that kinda is the point, if it is possessive it can't be "a god" of me, just as when you refer to "my book" we know you are referring to a specific book, it is definite for that reason. That book is still "a book" but because of the possessive it is definte. So, it is really a theological argument which both sides ( Trins and non-trins,with regard to John 20:28) have no problem fitting it into to their theology Those grammatical reasons (exceptions) do not apply to the Father who is being called "Ho Theos" as a means of special identification. Although this next quote is not dealing with John 20:28, it does touch on how "Ho theos" normally applies, this from Murray J. Harris:
Similarly, the differentiation made between hO QEOS as the one who
speaks in both eras and hUIOS as his final means of speaking shows
that in the author's mind it was not the Triune God of Christian
theology who spoke to the forefathers by the prophets. That is to
say, for the author of Hebrews (as for all NT writers, one may
suggest) "the God of our fathers," Yahweh, was no other than "the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (compare Acts 2:30 and 2:33;
3:13 and 3:18; 3:25 and 3:26; note also 5:30). Such a conclusion is
entirely consistent with the regular NT usage of hO QEOS. -

by Farkel insteve2 made some comments about a 10 year old post i made, and i will present them.
although there are numerous typos that could be corrected, his post was much more direct.
: i can see why you've pitched this long and absurdly hard-nosed account at a christian readership.
