  The expression 'need greaters'. Anyone else heard this?

  by jambon1 in

  2. friends

  my wife gets emails from someone who is serving in another country.. he keeps on referring to brothers/sisters who are 'need greaters'.. if they are actually using this expression then i have to say that it is the stupidest 'title' that they have ever dreamed up.

  so full of their own self importance.. need greaters?..............

  For crying out loud!

  My cousin is going on a "need greater" adventure. I saw this term on facebook and had to do a search and found this from three years ago. I also searched the term on bing http://www.bing.com/search?q=need+greaters

  Has the Organization completely stopped sending missionaries?

  This is a win/win for them. I know a few who are doing this in other lands. The Watchtower has no liability and no expense. They have to love this.

  needgreaters exploiting exploiting amazon natives on youtube ... i wonder if they could wear their traditional clothing to a convention

  I know many JW's that, well, perhaps don't celebrate, but participate.

  When I was believing, I was able to justify sharing in the celebration with worldly family. I know many other JW's that would too. Other JW's that didn't celebrate with worldly family I know who would have pretty much everything that a typical Thanksgiving dinner would be. I have seen where often employers will give employees gift certificates for turkey, and many JW's take adavantage just like everyone else.

  In fact, today I went to my worldly families for Thanksgiving. My wife and JW daughter with husband joined us. They are very much still in. We have done this for years. As long as we didn't skip out on the meeting our conscience could handle it.

  What do you want to accomplish Smart?

  If you want to be marked, alienated, or even go as far as being disfellowshipped ... go for it.

  The Organization won't change for you. Your local congregation won't accept your thoughts over the Organization's. Case closed.

  The Org has heard it all, disfellowshipped those that brought it to their attention [http://kristenfrihet.se/english/epage.htm] and just entrenched themselved deeper into their lie.

  Problem is, the organization knows their understanding doesn't find support outside of their circle, so they came out with the articles a couple of years ago clarifying their stance. After the articles came out, an elder sent me one as I had brought up the subject in the past. Society says this is what it is, case closed, independent thinking not allowed.

  Woman was created first! It's science.

  by wannabefree in

  1. social
  2. current

  woman was created first.. every human being has 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs, the first twenty two are autosomes, or matching, the twenty third pair matches in the female (xx), however, the male is mismatched (xy).. notice what is missing from that second x?

  yes, one of its ribs has been removed.. clearly, in a female, since all are matching pairs, it makes sense that woman was created first as the male xy combination is the mutated pair.

  why would god create the mismatched dna first?

  Since I no longer believe in God and creation, I must revise this to say that perhaps the female is the original of the species and the male at some point must have been a mutation.

  i just found this out last night.

  (preface: this is a husband and wife that i have come to be friends with after leaving the borg, they are christians).

  we were sitting around visiting last night and having a good time when my friend starts in on illegal immigration and politics and starts throwing out his hate speech which eventually turns to homosexuals.

  My friends are not JW's, they are quasi-nondenominational fundamentalists, and as far as I can perceive from our conversation, they basically believe dinosaurs are an elaborate hoax by scientists and/or satan.

  Minimus ... how long you been here?

  What's even the point?

  Non-JW's couldn't give a rat's rump ... JW's won't listen.

  ... but I'm with Phizzy "Yes they are!"
