Wausau Wisconsin Bans Throwing Of Any SNOWBALL!

by minimus in

jw
friends

you can’t throw a snowball at a person as kids often do.

you can’t throw it in a park, at a building, anywhere.

comments please.

What is next, banning all fun because someone might get hurt? How many people get hurt on trampolines--just a few, but that is enough for them to squeak about banning them for everyone. They can get hurt on swings, so should we ban those as well? You can get hurt falling off a bicycle, so should we ban those too? (Hint: People often fall off bicycles while learning to ride them.) Should we also ban running, since people can and do trip and fall while running and sometimes get hurt? Or walking--I am sure more than one person has tripped or slipped and fallen while walking, and wound up in the hospital.

There are safety rules when throwing snowballs--and "ice balls" is not snowballs. Putting hard objects in a snowball means you are throwing more than a snowball--you are also throwing that hard object. At this rate, we are going to have living banned, except for reptilians, because it is too dangerous for the reptilians that are going to inhabit this planet as soon as the bible has done its job.

the 'ransom' idea is alive and well

by waton in

it is not just the wt, other religions too believe sacrifice of any "kind" will get you favours.

They really need to sacrifice joke-hova, not to that thing. This thing invaded humanity, imposed its own alien rules on us, and then made this slavery arrangement to "ransom" us from breaking their laws on our planet. Joke-hova, and every single one of its angels, needs to be sacrificed in the same fashion that they sacrificed our cultures.

Totally-NOT-Holiday parties

by neat blue dog in

anybody else in congregations that have parties in october for kids to dress in costumes and pick pumpkins, parties in november with turkey, fixings and candles, and parties in december with red and green colors and baking similar looking snow-themed desserts?

(not to mention the spiffy new wardrobes for easter.

i mean memorial season.

If they have to fake it, doesn't that tell that something is wrong with the rule in the first place? That is like having a speed limit on a stretch of road that is so low that the maximum safe speed on that road is 10 times the speed limit, and then having speed traps along that stretch and wondering why everyone is "speeding". If "everyone" is doing it, I would suspect that the whole rule is at fault.

Even if I don't believe that jesus is or was real, I will not judge everyone around for celebrating Christmas as they see fit. I myself enjoy Christmas songs even if they have the Nativity scene in it, since I know that the Nativity scene is really pointing to the real Christ--the sun. The same for the other holidays. I put up nice decorations for these events in my apartment hall, and see no problem with others doing the same. About the only common way to celebrate Christmas (and other holidays) I will judge anyone for is if they drink and drive, and then because they put everyone on the road in danger and because it is actually a crime to drink drive.

But no faking things. It is Christmas, and that means Christmas (even though the "Christ" is in fact the sun). None of this "winter" rubbish, or other means of watering things down. And it is the whole nine yards (the tenth is going to church, which I have about as much use for as for drink drivers--which is none). Christmas music (and not just "winter songs"--Christmas songs). The whole deal with the lights (LED lights which use much less energy and are much safer than incandescent or fluorescent lights). Decorations including Santa Claus (and crosses which represent, not jesus, but the chakras in your soul).

Ditto for Halloween. I decorate for that as well, and put out a large dish of Halloween candy (no razor blades--you need to get those separately, because I believe scum that put drugs and razor blades in candy deserve a nice long jail sentence). (And I believe that getting hit by cars is far more a danger than drugged or razor-bladed candy.) I put out that bowl of Halloween candy (which come directly from the store, still in their wrappers) the morning of Halloween and take it down the next morning. I don't see anything wrong with Halloween celebrations (again, the most common problem is careless driving, including drink driving--which is the one thing I give Bah! Humbug! to).

Why are the Jehovah's Witness Tennis players allowed to "serve two master"?

by I_love_Jeff in

jw broadcasting sept 2019 issue commentary.

according to the jw in the sept 2019 episode, the ukrainian soccer player andriy nesmachniy (go to 1:04:14 in the video) "abandoned" his career for jehovah????

he retired at 32 years old, the normal retirement age among soccer players.

WTWizard

After last year (2018)'s season, that certain player had better be unbaptized. Otherwise, I don't see how that thing could remain in good standing. First, the coaching--cheating. Do we now allow certain people to cheat (i.e., stealing)? Then there was the racket smashing, followed by a full blown temper tantrum demanding special treatment. This thing broke the rules and threw a tantrum about being punished for it.

I can remember someone in my own former congregation having a fit all night at work because his help called in sick. After trying to steal me from another department where I was needed that night, this thing knocked down displays all night on purpose and left them knocked down. Of course, he got fired. Some time later, I got questioned about what I saw of this incident, and he ended up getting reproved. That, for something far less spectacular than what this tennis cheater did. No way that would have not have resulted in at least a reproof, if the congregation was doing its job.

Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

by minimus in

jw
friends

as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

WTWizard

Seems the colleges have been of late taking race-baiting positions. How much of this white-free space or time do we need? Not to mention, science is tied up. Anyone that deviates from the Establishment in science is going to flunk the course, and probably end up being "separated" from the school. For sure, no one that tries doing anything legitimately good for humanity is going to be able to make a living, and more so since they are blacklisted. And you get into 6-figure debt for that.

And just wait until Noahide Law gets thrown into this mix. In addition to going back to full Dark Ages "science(??)", we have a purge of anything that makes life worthwhile. At the extreme (and it will be at the extreme, since there is nothing stopping it), any activity you enjoy can be "idolatry". There is a reason why people like certain colors, certain songs, watching TV shows or listening to music of specific periods, collecting vintage items, researching or visiting specific states or countries, and so on. It is because you are attempting to connect with the energy of that item, period, or location. And that is against Noahide Law. And when you add the other 6 laws, it is a recipe for us all to be enslaved with no end or hope.

How can the New World Translation be the ''finest Bible translation'' without containing any errors?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

here is a photo and article where the governing body claims that the new world bible translation committee and jehovah's ''spirit-begotten sons'' wrote the finest bible translation available to mankind.

the watchtower—study edition | february 2017.

“who really is the faithful and discreet slave?”.

WTWizard

Errors? That book is full of LIES! Not just errors. They said that this book was the finest translation back in 1984, when they bashed the King James version for having so many faults. Then they revised it in 2013. How can a perfect translation be in need of revision? That is, unless it is full, not just of mistakes, but of lies.

BAD, BAD Christendom - the coal calling the kettle black!

by The Fall Guy in

w02 12/1 p. 3 giving until it hurts - “organized religion seems to be able to survive only with sizable financial support.

(lol – aren't jw's an “organized religion, and how the hell do they survive - on marshmallows?

)..how is the necessary money to be found?...most likely you agree that giving should be part of christian worship.

WTWizard

Giving until it hurts? You should never do that for a religion. That is a good way to do a poverty working on yourself. Even with regular charities, you should give within your means, not beyond it.

And especially with this religion. I got negative value out of the a$$emblies, not to mention having my energy harvested for the reptilians (who are now using it to put Noahide Law into effect on earth, and take away the whole Internet so we cannot hope to communicate, except to use it to hold us as slaves). Why should I donate money for that? At those "suggested" donation levels, one day's donations equals about 4 silver quarters (more or less, as the price of silver fluctuates), or one book of German stories to help me with that, or a dozen legal song downloads from Amazon. For a whole Grand Boasting Session's worth, I can get a video game for Nintendo 3DS, or 2 Australian Kookaburras (which are a bit on the high premium side).

Even with silver, I buy only within my means. It should not hurt worse than a bee sting--unlike giving to joke-hova, which hurts way worse. This is a reminder that the dollar may not buy anything tomorrow, and insurance so that I will have purchasing power if we lose the dollar (much like saving for retirement). But, I am not getting my energy drained for joke-hova to use on removing the whole Internet and imposing Noahide Law on the whole world by buying silver. Fact is, I never got that a$$embly headache making a purchase of silver.

How old is old?

by joey jojo in

having a conversation with a pimi elder and i asked him how he deals with the fact that he never expected to get old.

i get the feeling that some dubs still have the original generation explanation hard-wired, even though they claim to accept the new version.

so my question is, how old do you have to be to be considered old?

WTWizard

I view one as needing to be at least 60 to be "old", and that is with the curses joke-hova placed on us. Even then, it is possible for someone to be 60 or older and in good enough condition to not be "old", as much as someone that is only 30 to be in such poor shape that they are "old". Physically, "old" is a condition where they are not regenerating but instead deteriorating. You reach this condition when most of your cells lose their telomeres to a degree where they cannot replicate or when your metabolism is so clogged with the poisons in our food, and lack the nutrients, so they cannot properly function.

Mentally, one can be "old" if they have a problem tolerating youth. Granted, the gangsta culture is objectively bad because so many petty crimes happen through this. Also, if one finds today's music lousy, there is an objective reason--they are controlled by someone that can't tolerate decent culture. Modern TV shows are also lousy, and because they lack substance and not because they are "dirty".

One is also mentally "old" if one feels guilty for having any fun. This is most common in the washtowel slaveholdery. Even teenagers can be "old" in this sense--I once ran into someone that was only 14 that hated music because it didn't glorify joke-hova (or jesus, as was the case with this devout xian). This trend runs through the whole washtowel--they can't enjoy anything without feeling so pious that they are willing to sacrifice it. From the ice cream money to that Led Zeppelin album (that even young people seem to find more entertaining than today's music), the washtowel makes people intolerant of having fun. And when you impose that on those around you consistently, you become an "old fogey" regardless of whether you are 6 or 120.

Supposedly, Satan is some 500,000 years old and has more appreciation for fun than a xian that is only 7. Old--definitely not, because I define "old" by how much time you have left compared to how much you already spent, or based on how much you are intolerant of people having a good time. For sure, being a devout xian makes you "old" before your time--and drains your energy so you become physically old before your time, too.

New Free Jehovah's Witness Documentary Is Out!

hey guys, sorry i haven't posed in a while.

this project took a long time to work on with the limited resources we had.

hope you like it.

WTWizard

I downloaded this video for future viewing in Media Monkey (a good media player), just in case this COPPA mess totally ruins YouTube (or, if the whole Internet gets taken away sometime in the not too distant future). That way, I will have a way to see these things when the Internet is no longer available (or even for a storm), or when I see fit to watch it. For sure, beats those wastes of data that the washtowel has on its own site--which are so lame that I would not miss them once the Internet is taken down.

But I will miss these apostate videos, along with this site (along with plenty of other videos about subjects the washtowel doesn't approve of, such as Pokemon and political issues).
