JW's revelling in their online statistic...

by The Fall Guy in

...that their web site is the most translated in the world.. https://www.tomedes.com/translator-hub/most-translated-website.php.

do jw's genuinely believe that statistics prove divine backing?

you can fool some of the people some of the time...there are lies, damned lies, and statistics!.

And what about the bible itself, that book that had to be translated so everyone on the whole planet can be cursed? I think the basic King James bible is at least as translated in as many languages as the washtowel--that is, unless someone had the time to waste translating washtowel rubbish into obscure languages. Again, so the maximum number of people can be cursed on this earth.

About the only good thing about this is that I can download the rubbish in a language that the hounders are not likely to understand, print the rags in that language, and switch out their English or Spanish version for that language. They might be proud of being able to place their littera-trash in Greenlandic, but can they navigate it if I start praying, commenting, preaching, or taking part in a meeting in German when they do not understand a word of it because I was able to print the parts off in that language?

WT study 8 December

by road to nowhere in

had to look.

first paragraph mentions that most of were probably born after 1914. most?

i bet the dubs 105 and older can be counted on your fingers..

WTWizard

Since 1914? I have noticed political correctness tyranny, through the whole world, growing since the early 1990s. And it has really gotten out of hand in the past 10 years. It is illegal in many countries to criticize the official narrative, holding back science and forcing people to abide by lies. (Reminds me of the Dark Ages.) So many people are offended--on purpose, so they can protect their lies. Words and phrases that were not deemed as objectionable in the early 1990s are now deemed "hate speech" to as much as mention them. It is worse in most of Europe these days.

I think this means that the last days of freedom on this planet got started with the first Bush, and Bill Clinton ruined it for good. And look at the EU--that was intended to ruin Europe in ways that the UN failed to. Forced immigration (and not peaceful immigration--the "immigrants" rape, kill, and vandalize) through the whole European and American worlds--and it is "offensive" to call them out on it. Even the term "illegal alien", once used to denote people that entered a country without following proper protocol, is offensive and using it in many countries is a good way to end up with life in jail. Many Internet sites will ban someone or heavily censor that term.

For sure, remote from 1914.

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.

WTWizard

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.

WTWizard

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).

The washtowel needs more money? Why? They will get from me exactly what they deserve. Which is nothing.

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.
