A precious gift to all from Jehovah (channelled via Focus)

some souls here may feel i was a little harsh.

if so, i am deeply sorry.

i was abused by a handful right from the start, presumably on the basis of the avatar picture (and 2001 vintage).. when visiting dubland, i often find that others start fights with me - for whatever reason, and i provide quite a supply of them - and when it doesn't quite go the way they expected, they cry persecution.

As atonement (which Chuckie Russell had explained really means "at-One-ment" with gOD), here is a chart I prepared which assists decision-making.

Try to get from "A" to somewhere other than "B" as a final destination.

Consider this the very best gift Yahweh could give you - barbarous, murderous, unloving. unlovable, demonic desert monster that "he" is, the best thing he could do is tell you that he doesn't exist at all!

There are other charts which try to do the same thing, but I think mine is that little bit more comprehensive. A right click should allow a .JPG download. If a higher resolution version is wanted, ask - and ye may well receive.

I retain copyright but permit indefinite and unrestricted usage, provided the cloudy attribution to me remains, and that all distribution is free and upon on the same terms.

Of course I know many, hopefully most, of you here are agnostic or atheist. Good for you!

Is the GB against JWs having pets?

by NAVYTOWN in

jw
friends

does anyone know what was said at the recent ras about jws owning pets?

was it discouraged strongly?

hopefully jw pet owners will tell the organization to f-off!

Focus

Anything that distracts a JW from Field Serve-Us or indoctrination activity is frowned upon. Have we mentioned it's a cult?

How much punishment can WT take

by joe134cd in

jw
friends

in some ways i just have to admire wt for the amount of crap they can take and despite this can keep it from the r&f, and still keep coming up smelling of roses.

you think about all the dramas they have had and can yet still keep showing an increase - all be it in internet deprived developing countries.

but even still an over all increase is still an increase.

Focus

The Harlot can take a great deal of punishment, alas.

The tough part to overcome is the Persecution Points mentality.

The more you beat the b*ggers, the more they think that serves as confirmation that they have "the truth".

S.S. Reichsfuehrer Heinrich Himmler recognised this dub-like quality, and aspired to mould his S.S. elite on this amazing loyalty.

For a loony-bin idiotic cult of wash-ups and failures that has categorically predicted the end of the world four times (1914, 1915, 1925, 1975) together with a host of other less glaring false prophecies, it seems amazing it was not consigned to the dustbin of history ages ago.

But it hasn't.

Half measures don't work with the Great Whore... she can regenerate.

We beat her on the internet. Now lets beat her in the pocket. That's the only language they comprehend.

Salute them for breaking up our families and stealing our lives plus all the things that jookbeard mentioned? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have had over a century of free reign to use their clever propaganda and mind control tactics to build up such a huge international money making business using free labour, but now we have the internet to expose their lies. It won't happen overnight, but they are definitely starting to feel the pressure now otherwise they wouldn't be working so hard to get apostate youtube videos banned before the rank and file get a chance to see them!!!

Now, that's the spirit! Well said, ambersun.

Don't be too riled about the rising numbers. It's in poor, disadvantaged countries without widespread internet. They can't afford to pay the pimp that much. Throttle the WTS in the First and Second World, and the battle will be mainly done.

The Ravings of Trolls Distracts FOCUS From Real Watchtower Scandals

by cofty in

my thread was inspired by gentledawn's insightful comment about the effect the events in wales had on her jw husband.... hope any lurkers out there can filter out the signal (storys and experiences like this) to noise (the current trolls running amok on the forums) ratios.

this the problem with those who focus on outrageous fantasies about the watchtower.

it distracts from the real issues that need to be highlighted.. what happened in wales was for real.

Focus

Muzzled me so I couldn't reply (WWAS*) and then a fine, collective, theocratically-ordained stoning, eh? Didn't even drag me off to the gates of the city first. As often said, you can take the dub out of the WTS, but eradicating those old WTS habits from the dub... woohoo... a much tougher job, lol. The Cult of Worshiping Failure and Mediocrity is so beguiling to some they can't quite extricate themselves.... ever.

But, a 30:1 ratio only? So I have you well-outnumbered, lol.

Only kiddin', Simon. Hats off to you for managing this menagerie for what is it now - nearly 15 years? I sure couldn't.

This said, a partial, suitably respectful, answer to the collective wis-dum found in this elevating thread may be found here:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/social/humour/281227/3/Watchtower-to-ban-PUSSIES-July-14-This-is-not-good

but its really more about the history of pussies, Farks et moi. I see I'm even being accused of plagiarism as "Focus couldn't possibly write that well", I hear - and that too written by a near-illiterate. You simply couldn't make it up, haha!

I'd be tempted to brush off the dust from my coat, and having entered through one door not go out through another door (well, that's how Franz Sr. explained away the Biblical prohibition on going from door-to-door, lol), but then I find the writings of blondie and a few others thoughtful, entertaining and even instructive, so I might not. With a little bit of "friendly" feline guidance and a thoughtfully inserted occasional claw, much could be made of these young 'uns.

And then I can't wholly dismiss the following touching contributions (metatron has a fine insight and overview, apparently contradictory though those may be):

... and so it would be very bad manners for me to disappoint. Wouldn't it?

Well, folks, while there are still people calling out for Focus to stay... I have a host of new material to give and share - copyright free, as ever.

So I think I'll deny the "Porneia" Class its fervent request. With the greatest possible respeck, that is.

Theists, why does God allow suffering..

by The Quiet One in

..specifically, the suffering of animals.

you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.

i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

Focus

race andros, face the facts. Animals deserve it.

Lets consider pigs, since I see here that the Swine Class predominates.

A long time ago, in the Garden of Farmyardeden, Adam Adolphus Pig ate an apple, at the behest of Eva Brauni Pig, that had dropped from a magic tree but which had been prohibited to them by Farmer J.E. Goober (a gAWD who was his own dad, but that distracts from the main story).

For this they condemned all their descendant piglets, down to the n'th generation, to a life of misery, torture, evil and worse.

Anything wrong with that? They misused their free will.

They must pay, even the ones who are a bit more equal than the others.

They will pay!

Now pass me that ham sandwich, boy.

defender of truth, thanks, start at the beginning (as you have done) and be systematic and try to live up to your handle.

Don't be like most of the fools and simply attack or denigrate that with which evolution hasn't equipped you to deal, lol.

There ya go!

The Winnowing work on H2O predates that by years.

The Ministry work in Usenet predates the work on H2O by years.

And first of all came my http://www.freeminds.org/history/list.htm (in its early form - now almost 50 times longer than what you see there)

And much else besides, almost all of it unadvertised (and staying that way)

But, hey, others can settle for "troll" because some doozy-headed, sh!tferbrains doofuses think it sounds "cool".

As to your "Real Scandal" - WTF do you know about what happened in Malawi or Mexico? Or do they not count as much? Elders cover-up child abuse is so passe.... almost needs no commentary or reporting. And the twits here wouldn't know how to milk it, either. As long as the WTS gets away without having to pay out substantial sums, its abuses will only continue.

Focus, without calling you a moron, not every mention of "truth"

Oh yeah, Old Goat?

We aren't talking about "truth".

We're talking about your use of "the truth"

And let's see the context. You wrote:

There is endless nonsense, and the truth is the loser because of it.

and either you're not very good at English (and therefore inserted the definite article where no article was needed and indeed no article should be used) - or there's still dubspeak bouncing around in your head.

Which one is it?

Not that I'm calling you a moron, of course. I wouldn't need to.

Defend this one further, and even the dim "Other" Class here might get it...

"the truth"??

And you wrote that without irony?

I sure hope "The Truth" is the loser.

Can take the dubdub out of the Watchtower, but you can see that a part of the Watchtower stays embedded, lol.
