  wt white washes david again why?

  by waton in

  2. bible

  in today's wt "study, "merci" a lot of gaslighting.

  on one hand: you will be judged the way you are judging, but twice "david" is seen as needlessly killing or intending to kill people for minor transgression, .

  1) getting ready to kill nabel, all males not paying his extortion fees, and .

  Hairy one - I was always bothered by the fact the JW religion seemed to give David of the Old Testament a ‘pass’ for whatever mistake or wrongdoing he did!

  Even when I was a fully brainwashed Jobot, I found David to be a vile POS.

  I never understood their almost worship of the scum sucking pond life.

  Hosepipe - David’s story shows that if you have money and position you can literally get away with murder. Just like the Jehovah’s Witness religion.

  And just like the Governments in our respective countries. All to be mistrusted and loathed for the self serving filth they are.

  Ghislaine Maxwell on trial

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  ghislaine maxwell is on trial for grooming underage girls for sex and joining in, apparently.. her defence has recently finished, with maxwell declining to take the stand herself because she, in her words, 'doesn't need to as the prosecution haven't proved their case beyond reasonable doubt'.. that's for the jury to decide, ghislaine, lol.

  .

  doesn't it strike you as arrogant that she can't be arsed to stand up and speak in her own defence?.

  Could it be fear? Or is she an old battleaxe?

  Iriddle80 - Thanks for your input. I think you're quite brave giving honest comments as a believer.

  Most of the comments are from those, like myself who are sceptical.

  It's a shame more 'believers' don't give honest comments.

  I suspect it's because the arguments are easy to pull apart.

  Would You Like To Be God?

  by Ultimate Axiom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we know there are a few on this forum who think they are, but consider this for a while.

  if you are god, you are omniscient, therefore you have nothing to learn.

  nothing to research, investigate or explore as there is nothing you don’t already know.

  Would You Like To Be God?

  I don't think I'd make a very good imaginary friend.

  I don't want people trying to contact me telepathically all at once to solve their problems or buy them a bike.

  I don't want people singing at me, especially not the Jobot songs of dour misery.

  Otherwise, it might be a fun gig.

  PtB - A rose by any other name. Thorny charachter.

  TBK - Pontoon - I often felt that prayer was me talking to myself, trying to convince myself of something.

  frequently asked questions.

  if i accept a bible study, will i be pressured to become one of jehovah’s witnesses?.

  jehovah’s witnesses love teaching people about the bible, but we never pressure anyone to join our religion.

  If I accept a Bible study, will I be pressured to become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  Yes. But a couple of things. It isn't a Bible study, it's a publication study. There is plenty of passive aggressive pressure to become a Jobot. Brainwashed? See........

  "Minds must be cleansed" (Watchtower, June 1, 1953, p. 350 par. 24). 24 In these closing days of wickedness Jehovah’s people must demonstrate holiness. They must not foul their minds with the filthy mental food on the propaganda tables of this old world, but must feed on the feast of fat things Jehovah provides. (Isa. 25:6; 28:8.) Minds must be cleansed and made over, mental circuits formed by old-world thinking and acting faded out and new ones put in according to new-world specifications. By privately studying regularly, by attending all meetings regularly, and by engaging in all features of the preaching work regularly mental circuits are deepened and such good activities become habitual, not at all the struggle they are when the mental circuits are weak and faint because used only occasionally. For ourselves and for others, make them strong!—1 Tim. 4:16.

  I have no childhood memories or anchors in Christmas, so it is meaningless to me. I don't do trees or decorations because it seems a waste of time. This is because I was raised as a JW Jobot.

  Merry Christmas to those that like it.

  But as for me, determined I will be...........

  I can't stand Christmas songs blaring out because they're all cheap, turgid crap.

  Can somebody tell Noddy Holder to shut his gob?

  Don't be offended, I'm only saying what you think but daren't admit.

  Apart from this one....

  I guess Quadrophenia is good, too - I've never seen it, but would like to.

  It's iconic. There are some continuity gaffs which means you can see late 1970's things where 1960's things should be. Worth a squint. In one scene you can see Nicholas Lyndhurst next to a scooter briefly.
