  Question to any practicing JWs

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i ask you to consider this scenario:.

  a devoutly born-again christian man, who strives to live every facet of his life in accordance with what is written in the gospels, spends all of his time helping the poor, reading his bible cover-to-cover, living an austere life and genuinely feels that his life is motivated by his love of christ.

  a real christian in practice, both public and private.

  For any non-JWs who might be curious about the blood doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  simply put the current blood doctrine can be described as such:.

  you can sit down and eat some cheese.. later on, if you want, you can grab a spoon and eat tomato sauce out of the facking can.. or, maybe you fancy eating cooked dough.. and hell, who doesn't like a couple of slices of pepperoni?.

  but god have mercy on your soul if we catch you eating a mother-loving pizza.....

  2. experiences

  so last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.

  doorbell rings.

  now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.

  Question Directed at Religious People

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm currently dealing with some very religious jw family members and this has led to several "debates" (i hate to use the term debate, since it's more of a one-sided argument where they do nothing but reference watchtower publications, but whatever).. gotta be careful in what i'm about to ask, since there's been quite a bit of turmoil on here whenever there is a religion vs. science sort of discussion.

  i've searched on past threads as this topic has come up but haven't received any real answers one way or another.

  just lots of fighting.

  Something to Think About

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how will it seem years from now when all that we cherish and believe will become as dusty exhibits in a museum?

  we are constantly finding ourselves in different states of being, between breakfast and dinner.

  perhaps, even that final snack before we are carried off in a realm of terrifying heights or ages undreamed of.

  Watchtower Artwork Revisited...

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering if any former bethelites could clue me in to how the illustrations get planned/decided upon that wind up in the watchtower publications?

  does the writing department formally ask for a specific illustration to go with their dumb article or do the artists just smoke some ganja and come up with their own zany stuff?.

  also, to any active bethelites monitoring this site, i would like to submit a recommendation.

  oompa,.

  i'm sorry that you had to endure the pain you did.

  regardless if you believe in god or not, what you were going through was sheer hell.. i'll keep this short, i won't eulogize you too long, 'cause i can kind of detect that you'd hate that.

  Let's do a brief exercise, shall we?

  by Mr. Falcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  please read this excerpt from the creator book by jehovah's witnesses:.

  nothing can change this declared purpose of the creator, namely, that the whole earth should be turned into a paradise filled with happy humans living at peace with one another and with the animals.. .

  okay, pretty simple right?
