I lost a cousin who was in a very bad car accident because she refused a blood transfusion. She left behind a husband and 3 children.

Any organization that forbids you getting any life saving medical treatment... is a cult.

Disfellowshipping Image

this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.

why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.

just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.

Heaven

You know you're in a cult when .... their definition of 'loving provision' causes immense pain and suffering.

Missed the Meeting

so yesterday was a lovely day where i live and so instead of going to the meeting we went, as a family, out for the late pm/early evening to have a bbq.

we were far more relaxed than if we had gone to the meeting.

we spent far more time talking that if we had gone to the meeting.

Heaven

Mmmmm .... BBQ. Yum!

I suggest replacing all meetings with BBQs. So much more fun, relaxing, and satisfying.

Is 2 feet + 3 meters= 5 meters? Jehovah's witnesses say yes it is!

by quincemyles in

have you noticed that adding 607 b.c.e roman/gregorian years to 2520 jewish biblical/prophetic years to get 1914 roman/gregorian years c.e is like adding 2 feet + 3 meters= 5 meters?.

the insights volume ii under heading year, mentions that a bible or prophetic year is reckoned to have 360 days.

many other publications indicate that a prophetic year is 360 days long.

I'm okay with the "fruitage of the spirit."

though i now consider myself a secular buddhist, i just realized today that i'm okay with trying to pursue the qualities mentioned by paul as the "fruitage of the spirit.".

the only one i take issue with is "faith" in the context of religion.

what are your thoughts on the matter?.

I want serious answers from WT leaders, possible?

what would happen if i would write a physical letter to, for example, the branch office.

and ask questions about scandals like the ngo thing and other stuff?

or ask questions about wtbs economy, or ask for a annual report, which is something i would really like to read.

You might as well poke your eye out with a blunt stick.

The Case for Theism

by FusionTheism in

"theism" here means "belief in a god" or "the worldview that an intelligent designer created the universe and life.

" ("god" here means a being with a mind who initiated and/or wound-up the universe, and designed life on earth)the most common claim that i see atheists making on twitter, is that "no evidence" exists in support of belief in a god.this post will remove any excuse atheists have for claiming "no evidence exists" in support of an initiator.

atheists can still reject this evidence as "weak," but they cannot truthfully say it does not exist.now, it is true that we do not have "observable, repeatable, falsifiable, empirical, scientific" evidence conclusively proving that an initiator exists, but we do have many lines of philisophical, experiential, and logical evidence.and... here... we... go:1:) many leading scientists, including stephen hawking, say that the space-time-matter universe had a beginning at the singularity/big bang.

New David Splane Video: No 1900 Year Faithful Slave

by FusionTheism in

governing body member david splane has a new video on tv.jw.org where he talks about all the horrible things committed by martin luther and the protestant reformers.. his conclusion is that there has been no faithful and discreet slave on the earth during the past 1900 years (before 1919 i guess.).

he also says that maybe there were a few anointed on earth, maybe not.. he did add an interesting statement that he doesn't condemn the other churches just for misunderstanding the bible because the society has done that.. another odd point, was that he actually mentioned catholic missionary work in a somewhat positive light, while totally condemning the reformation views on predestination..

FMF said: Also I believe doctrine has been replaced with a labyrinth of fantastic ideas no R&F can follow or explain.

In 2010, my Dad told me he has no idea what they are talking about anymore. I was happy dancing on the inside as I knew this cult's days with my Dad were numbered.
