Latest Trick by You know Who!

this is getting thrown about a lot to me from various jdumbs.. .

also got the perfect answer as retort!

beat that you jdumb morons!.

One of others reasons the WTS wanted to move out of Brooklyn is they wanted to divest themselves away from the Watchtower identity, which had proven overtime corrupt and false.

Why didn't they erect a large viewable sign of Watchtower on the front of their new building ?

They realized their buildings were get old and more difficult to keep up, add in the financial value of those buildings and decision was agree to.

It should also be noted that the WTS banked 2 billion dollars in the sales of all their buildings in Brooklyn. $$$

Now they stay what looks like a lake side resort complete with swimming pools and tennis courts in a tranquil rural setting.

No noise, congestion and pollution from the big city and a brand new identity JWorg.

Jehovah would stay there himself.

i recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.

i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.

who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

Finkelstein

Yes it was full of the false doctrines the WTS concocted to help sell it to the public, just like most other pieces of literature put out by the WTS.

People who are JWS are just the WTS's own self designed public sales representatives.

The more "time" you spend out selling/distributing these pieces of literature made by the WTS the more they are showing loyalty and devotion to Jehovah and elevating their righteousness in his eyes.

I think Limbaugh is out and out wrong on this

by JimmyYoung in

i listen to rush most days for entertainment.

i agree with him on some issues and disagree on others.

but today he said something i believe is an out and out lie.

Finkelstein

he is in the fringe crazy area in some of his talking points.

Rush has always been a loudmouth idiot who spouted off his opinions diverse from intellectually integrity.

That's probably why he got to be a popular radio journalist.

He proved outspoken controversial stupidity does sell in the market place.

2020-04-10 Congregation Donations by Electronic Funds Transfer!

by Atlantis in

well as usual, the watchtower wants to make sure the rank & file keep the money coming in.

even if the jw's have nothing to eat.. 2020-04-10--congregation donations by electronic funds transfer.

Finkelstein

Its very important to give money to the leaders of the JWS (GB) and other top tier branch leaders, who else is going to pay for their health and dental care, their food and housing, their swimming pools and tennis courts, the cars they drive and insurance, their airline flights to travel around the world.

Jehovah provides for these people in abundance.

Any thoughts on Saturday Nights "Contravirus" version on SNL? I thought it was hilarious.

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

i wish i had taped the snl show since it was the first one "live" since the contravirus thing began but i am sure they will play it again in a month or two.

i know a lot of people were anticipating how they could pull it off but they did, imo, a great job.

it was a real learning experience also for the entire production staff on how to pull this off with most people working from their homes and no live audience.

Finkelstein

Over all I didn't think it was very good, in light of the circumstances maybe not surprising.

SNL was born out of doing skits with multiply characters interacting with one another, trying to do comedy on a singular presentation in front of a web cam pretty hard to do.

This recent group of players I dont think has been the best assembled cast, with Kate Mckinnon probably being the most talented and versatile, the most likely reason she has been offered movie contracts.

The show will be back in the not too distant future.

So mythological bullshit inherently created by the ancients through their imagination and ignorance of the world in which we live does create abstract delusions in people.

OK

I prefer a semblance of reality composed upon facts and acquired knowledge.

For thousands and thousands of years mankind has been worshiping and praying to various human devised gods and not one thing has ever happen out that, today and in the past.

Maybe there isn't such a thing as a supernatural being/god after all ?

......just saying

So Kosonen when they come up with a vaccine to combat his virus and everything returns to normal including active religions, what does the bible say about that ?

No offense but it sounds like you dont have both oars in the water.

....... and the JWS gave you the boot.

People Are Drinking a Lot More When "Locked Up" in Their Homes

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

it was amusing the other evening on the local news to see the increase of drinking due likely to people having to basically stay at home.. the news crew went out on recycle day in a couple of areas during the week.

they showed the general neighborhoods (but not the specific houses).

the reporter walked down the street and looked into the recycle bins.

To the opening post, what a stupid superstitious nut bar of a assertion.

All Blair is suggesting is a temporary established organization that would work together in gathering information, resources and actions to combat this pandemic virus and perhaps others.

Trying to relate this purposeful idea as something foretold in ancient mythological history is borderline insane.

The book of Revelation in the bible is fictional mythology ......get over it .
