  Lore, that was AWESOME!

  This part made me crack up so bad:

  ? "After I read this brief comment, please tell me what you think." Open the Family Happiness book to page 169, and read the first two sentences of paragraph 17. Then ask for a response. Depending on the reply, you might read further excerpts from the book before offering it. "

  Well that was significantly shorter...

  Here is what the first two sentences of paragraph 17 on page 169 says:

  As the years roll by, you will find that you cannot do all that you used to or all that you want to. How does one come to terms with the aging process?

  Sorry, I'm not elderly, so I can only guess at the response... I think most of the elderly people I know would hit the witness over the head with their cane for grouping them with old people...

  JW: "After I read this brief comment, please tell my what you think." Reads it. "What do you think?"

  Me: "WHAT?"

  JW louder: "What do you think?"

  Me: "Because I ran out of deoderant today."

  JW: "NO. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT I READ?"

  Me: "OH, could you read it again?"

  JW: "AS THE YEARS ROLL BY, YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU CANNOT DO ALL THAT YOU USED TO OR ALL THAT YOU WANT TO. HOW DOES ONE COME TO TERMS WITH THE AGING PROCESS?"

  Me: "Internet."

  JW: "Hows that?"

  Me: "Oh, never mind... By they way, wasn't I supposed to die in armaggeddon back in 2035?"

  JW: "Well acctually Armageddon came invisibly in 1914, and ended invisibly in 2035, now we are in an invisible paradise."

  Me: "I thought you claimed to be in an invisible paradise long before that."

  JW: "No we were always in a 'spiritual paradise' waiting for the invisible paradise... pretty soon it'll be visible after 'Harmageddon' which is the visible version of Armageddon"

  Me: "Didn't you also say that the generation of 1914 would never pass away?"

  JW: "We never said that."

  Me: "Riiiight. And didn't you also say that 2014 would be the date of the visible paradise?"

  JW: "We never acctually said that either, that was just some impatient people trying to go ahead of the truth."

  Me: "Oh for the love of Gog... I have to throw up!"

  JW: "Poor old guy."

  Remember the song Make The Truth Your Own?

  by pierogi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is the wtbts exactly saying here because they don't let you make the truth your own?

  besides nicknaming the religion "the truth", this is just another example of how the wtbts brainwash jws to think that the truth and the watchtower are the same thing.

  i think this might be why jws, before hearing anything negative about the watchtower, already decide that it is false or they defend it.

  "The way of the lie, is the worst way of living, no badder way can there be found." "Make the Poop your own, to bad way try to be prone, if your body members you explore, you'll make known that the poop is your own."

  LMAO! That was hilarious, w.once!

  Isn't that kind of like an ant telling the other ants that they bless the gigantic humanoid, using their ant communication?

  Does the giant humanoid hear the ants, even care about the ants, or even know the ants exist under the human's porch?

  Oh right, the human left them an ant-written but giant-inspired book written in ancient ant language.....and the ants are always in fear of being exterminated by the giant....

  They try to give gifts, make sacrifices all in vain....praying..where is the giant?...oops, giant just discovered ants....

  RAID!!!!!!!

  aka: armegeddon.

  poor ants.

  Considering it's not even the proper name of God, but a name that men made up because they couldn't figure out what His actual name is.....but go ahead, bless your heart out if that's what makes you feel good

  i just bought a bottle of wine for an exjw's 30th that i am about to run off to.

  on it there was a great quote by mark twain:.

  "twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do... explore.

  I regret not staying with a non-JW boyfriend just because I was getting baptized. He got really hurt. If I could go back in time, I would undo that. We would of eventually probably broken up over relationship stuff, or boredom since we were just teenagers, but the fact that I just dropped him for NO REASON other than religion, when he was the nicest guy too, made me feel like the biggest a$$hole.

  And I regret not giving gifts back to those who gave me christmas and birthday presents. jw's are selfish ba$tard$ aren't they!

  my comments in red

  the cult is authoritarian in its power structure.

  the leader is regarded as the supreme authority.

  about how many hours per day or night do you spend on this forum?

  i spend about 2-3 hrs per night actively participating and browse throughout the day.. my boss allows me to do this because i 'm very good at multi-tasking.

  he thinks i'm the greatest thing since grits and gravy.. snowbird.

  What is ''true Spirituality'' ?

  Is that when you know your true nature?

  When you have a connection with the spirit realm? (If there exists one)

  There is no reality, only perception, right?

  So how do we know when our perception is accurate...we only have our 5 senses, and our limited brain use to tell us what our world is like.

  If we used 100% of our brain...maybe then we would acheive the state of mind that lets us see reality for what it actually is, and not for what we perceive it to be.

  just my two cents.
