The Weepster is back with more Satan, Satan, Satan.

Just because we're not dubs anymore doesn't mean we're all eager to dive into whatever Satanic crap you're presenting.

Weepster, you need to get another hobby -- something like flower arranging or intensive psychiatric care.

Why did Abel offer "fatty pieces" to Yahweh?

by easyreader1970 in

from my understanding--at least from my instruction from the wbts--humans were not permitted to eat meat by yahweh until after the flood.

if that is true, then why would abel offer tasty, delicious "fatty pieces" to yahweh?

how would abel even know how to cut up an animal for food and know which parts were the best for eating?.

Jehovah is the most needy (imaginary) entity I know. He needs constant reassurance that others love him and are willing to make (literal) sacrifices for him. He gets insanely jealous if anyone as much as looks at other (imaginary) entities. If he believes he's not the center of attention, he'll resort to violence.

Know what someone like this is called today?

An abusive boyfriend/husband, the kind for which you get restraining orders, a Doberman, and a stun gun.

questions from readers.

in the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshiped, how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship?p.c., ontario, canada.. we are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from god and his theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of israel in the wilderness of sinai and in the land of palestine.

The WTS would call that "old light" now. But, except for the "killing" parts, their policy is still the same.

Lovely photo, goldensky. It's given me spring fever early!

It's strange, though, that you look nothing like your avatar.

I can't post my photo yet, but in general shape and attitude, I resemble my avatar closely.

parakeet

I hate them.Really.Any Ideas?

My deepest condolences, aquagirl. I know exactly what you're going through (my JW dad died recently, and I had the "kitchen table" experience too).

I've heard it said that it's easier to get angry than to grieve. Try to ignore the jackasses and concentrate on your mom and yourself.

Back. and seeking ideas for screwing over the memorial

by Sirona in

jw
friends

ok. me and friends are going to attend a memorial on 30 march.. what would be the best way to get our message across?.

should we just throw a hundred flyers into the hall in the middle of the memorial?.

should we drink the wine and eat all the bread and then stand up and say something?.

parakeet

If you and your friend go, no matter what you intend to do there, the dubs will still include you in their attendance count. Do you really want to be included in their beloved stats?

Best way to diss the Memorial is not to attend at all.

Recent earthquakes--share tips to prepare for shepherding calls

by rebel8 in

jw
friends

so obviously there have been a few big earthquakes recently.

if dubs are living up to their beliefs, they'll be tripping over each other to do a last ditch effort to reach out to us one last time to save us from the big a.. now, we all know instead most of them are, as we speak, probably sitting around gloating over the fact we'll be bird food soon.

but that's besides the point.. i thought we'd best be prepared for the upcoming wave of sheperding calls and the "come back to gee-ho-vuhs", so let's pool our ideas.. mine:.

Earthquakes in one place after another.

Now elders in one place after another.

Will the catastrophes never end???

How miserable are Witless Kids REALLY?

by hamsterbait in

jw
friends

25 years ago i lived in an apartment overlooking the grounds of the local high school.. at the time i still totally believed the lie.

a lot of the dub students went to my hell.. i noticed looking out my window, that the witless kids always looked miserable and isolated.

yet in the kingdumb hell they would behave almost euphorically.. what was going on?.

parakeet

Certainly they were maladjusted. Some of them had the social skills of a nine year old. Why was this?

1. Not allowed to "associate" with worldly kids, except to "witness" to them.

2. Not allowed to participate in holiday activities at school.

3. Not allowed to salute the flag or sing national anthem.

4. Other students see you as weird, antisocial, and unpatriotic, prompting them to ridicule you whenever they can. Sometimes the teachers joined them.

How's that for miserable?

And that was just at school. At home, there was another whole world of misery, which I will detail for you if you're not yet convinced.
