i am at a loss as to understanding why some people give so much time and energy to responding to people like obves on this board ,,,,,,,,and of course he`s not the only one , ,,,,,,,,,why do we give these guys the platform to espouse their dribble ?

on this site ?

it is an exjw site is it not,?

Probably because we could never question our cult leaders, we find being able to do so here a refreshing change. Even those with extreme views are allowed to air them here. Do I believe OBVES? No. Would I defend his right to express himself here? Definitely. Go OBVES!

Discussion With Friends After The CA... Generation Demo & Blood

well the 'standout' for me was the generation demo.

you cant have a red blood cell treatment, but you could have a haemoglobin treatment, haemoglobin is a conscience matter.

red blood cells treatment.

It's ironic they can't figure out how long a "generation" is. Jesus himself set the example telling the destruction of Jerusalem within a "generation". 37 years later, within a generation, it fell. Not a century, not several overlapping time periods. Of what value is a warning if no one can figure out when it ends? Don't waste your time on older witnesses. They now have invested way too much of their lives to leave. I'm sure many know deep inside there are serious doctrinal issues. It's such a shame & a waste of one's life. I know. I wasted 50 yrs.

The seven trumpet blasts of Revelation & the Millions campaign.

one of the jehovahs witness doctrines that many of us have had trouble believing is that the seven angels trumpet blasts described in revelation applied to events that occurred in the 1920s at seven assemblies held around the world at the time when judge rutherford was the president of the watchtower society.. the revelation climax book (1988) contains this summary on page 173:.

highlights of jehovah's trumpetlike judgment proclamations.

1922 cedar point, ohio: a challenge to christendom's leaders in religion, politics, and big business to justify their failure to bring peace, prosperity, and happiness.

The trumpet blast prophesies shows their art of prediction really blows.

My sisters funeral service was just appalling. An absolute disgrace.

by still wondering in

my sisters' funeral service was just appalling.

an absolute disgrace.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/medical/216561/1/my-sister-died-this-morning-after-refusing-blood-on-four-occasions.

the funeral was held today for my sister when every opportunity was used as a sales pitch to promote their malignant message, in this case to any non jw's that may be present, just like any other pyramid scam it seems.. the person whose funeral it is just has a minor bit part to play compared to the main feature , the promotion of the all encompassing multi-talented multi-tentacled wts that you can rely on to guide misguide and pervade every nook and cranny of your life including when to die.. and why not, because as gods only prophet to all mankind, they don't just hear gods voice, they are gods voice.. ***watchtower 1957 june 15 p.370*** "it is vital that we respond to the directions of the "slave" as we would to the voice of god.

mrquik

I attended a service a few months ago & of course was "invisible". I couldn't care less. The talk ended with the hope of everlasting life. Somehow this seemed a tad out of place at a funeral talk, but no one seemed to notice the irony but me.

Happy Thanksgiving from Canada, This one is not a DF offense.

by Quarterback in

well, well....i know that you have your turkeys, and your pumpkin, or pecan pies, and i know that you had your family over and all.. but, you really aren't celebrating thanksgiving, are you?.

This was one of those "don't ask, don't tell" gray areas. My mother always had family over & I always took my family out for Thanksgiving.

Has anyone else noticed all the advertizing the Mormons are starting to do.

by life is to short in

i live in the pacific northwest and in the last week i have started to see bill boards popping up all over the city with pictures of people who are doctors, stay at home mom's, lawyers, plumbers, etc.

they all look very normal just living life and below their picture it says i am a mormon.. i have also started in just the last few days to see commercials on tv showing a soccer mom running her kids to games and she stops to look at the camera and says i am a mormon, or they showed a doctor who stops and says i am a mormon.. i think this campaign with the mormons has to do with mitt romney.. has anyone else noticed this?

i wonder what the gb would do to make the jw's look normal, as our kids do not do school sports, we do not go to college so we do not have many doctors or lawyers, or even plumbers and electricians, etc for that matter.

We've had them in NY on TV for a while already. The GB should spend a billion or so on similar ads to improve their image.
