The Bible Teach book illustration about the child having to be put through a painful operation
by defender of truth in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
had you going there for a minute ;).

now you're here... there are several problems with that illustration, as i see it.. ..... 1) god is the one who inflicted the life threatening ailment that requires an operation.

(he supposedly decided what sin would be defined as, then once adam 'sinned', he cursed all of adams descendants to sin, grow old and die.).

Aww Defender of truth.........that was a mind bender

of an explaination!!! .........and a very good one too!

No wonder it took 2 hours to put it on paper. Shows

how convoluted this crap is...the contortions wt goes

thru to write something that seems to make sense...

but upon examination doesn't...is rather amazing!

Those bastards are just laughing at how easy it is

to impress the little rank & file members.

Thanks for doing this unravelling of their foolishness

and deception!

CAPTION COMPETITION !
by Focus in

2. humour
nathan h. knorr was the third president of the watchtower society.

he was by mentality a clerk, with a fondness for instructing young male brooklyn bethel inductees as to what was the "right handling" of their genitalia.

it goes without saying he was a liar, a fraud, a hypocrite, a swindler, a conman and a thoroughly evil bastard, and let f.franz perpetrate the great 1975 hoax to boost membership, murdering the hopes of millions of elderly victims while so doing.. joseph f. "judge for 4 days" rutherford was the second president of the watchtower society.

Suav......those are not canes. They are wacking sticks!

Those guys lined along the walk on the right have them &

so do Knorr, Rutherford & Covington. Look closely at R's

right hand.

Now being the irreverent woman that I am, I would

title this... "There is a sucker born every minute"

or

"Hey this is fun ...I love this fu#$&%# job!"

or

"Geez I just can't stop laughing ...bloody stupid people!"

or

"God for sure picked us 'cause we are all hung like horses!"

Can you spot the circular reasoning here?
by DATA-DOG in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
when i used to read the bible on a regular basis, i loved "paul's" writings.

anyway, can you see what is actually being said in the following passage?

" if anyone thinks he is a prophet or is gifted with the spirit, he must acknowledge that the things i am writing to you are the lord's commandment.
clarity

Makes sense, right. No wonder the GB are so bat-shit crazy. They say," We are the Channel of God. If you were REALLY anointed, you would give witness to the FACT that we are the channel, thereby proving that you are a "true Christian." Since you don't acknowledge our position that we claim to have, you can't be a "true Christian" because all "true Christians" recognize that we say comes from Jeehoober. Why? Because we say so."

This is what drives us nuts ...the catch 22.

Round and round we go!

*

No matter how easy it is to explain all the wt failures,

and the shunning & blood policies ....the watchtower has

set-up and prepped the deluded dubs with 'get out of jail'

clauses AND if you don't believe in them, you will be made

redunant & silenced with 9 little words.

2 Cor 11:4 PROVES there were various versions of Jesus and gospels BEFORE the gospels
by yadda yadda 2 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the gospels were written after paul's epistles.

this is commonly acknowledged by both apologist and neutural bible scholars.

yet we see that paul says clearly in 2 corinthians 11:4 that persons were preaching different versions of jesus and different gospels before the orthodox canonized gospels were written:.
clarity

Designs... this really interests me..

"What you discover when you study Judaism is that Paul abandoned a Jewish Messiah for an entirely new invention of his own making. His idea, while trying to tie in Jewish verses, is not the Jewish messiah. Paul (or whoever it was writing under that name) knew the Jewish response and moved his ministry to the Gentiles who were gullible and naive about Judaism. first major error with Paul's Gospel- The Messiah and Originl Sin in Romans, complete and utter lie and fabrication. It goes downhill from there."

I am not disagreeing with you at all D, but would you be so kind

as to post a short excerpt from one of your sources to show this?

thanks

R and me
by Pistoff in

2. experiences
what is it like for you when you run into someone from your happy days growing up in the kingdom hall?.

it happened to me recently, and it brought out a flood of memories about r, an old friend and mentor.. it is a service day; as we drive along route 6 in rs gray four door rambler ambassador, we pass a baptist church.

it is a thursday afternoon, sunny and warm, and r and i are on our way to the territory to make calls.

You have captured the essence of those strange times.

The urgency of the late '60's blinded us to reality.

The stupid feeling of ...oh well, the world is ending soon,

so we wasted our robust years on hot air & threw away

people, fortunes and our very futures.

Well done Pistoff...I so enjoyed this, look forward to

more!

in the middle of town. I watched as the people walked

by and the 2 "preachers" made no effort to communicate,

they just rocked back and forth on their heels!!!!!!
