look at the recent videos that this bunch of old out of touch with reality governing body has spent time and money(corporation assets) on.
telling the deaf how disqusting jehovah finds looking at you masterbate(clearly a sign of some sort of childish magical thinking) and the one where they throw a little tots gift toy in the garbage because jehovah(corporation's sock puppet) don't like magic, making the the poor kid feel like he will shrivel up and die of old age like adam & eve did at 900+ years old, if he don't hurry up and get rid of that cheap plastic wizzard toy that might perhaps be demonized or something.. i'm telling you guy these guys are trapped into making bad decision because of this imaginary friend.
expect much more in the way of infantile decision making from these delusional individuals.
Those videos seem a lot like I remember televangelists being when I paid attention to such things. Nice suits, gold rings on each hand. A nice office overlooking the city. It certainly doesn’t make me think of a group that is practicing what they are preaching.
And what's with those african carvings on the shelves in the second video? I can understand that they may not be forbidden but for a religion obsessed with not stumbling anyone they seem unnecessary.
so my wife is slowly waking up!
but cognitive dissonance is thick indeed!
my wife knows the gb are false in many ways but she still holds to the "theyre more right than others!
Start by researching the references from the literature. Going to the library and reading the books referenced in the creation book is what woke me up. I felt that if it was ok for the FDS to read those books it must be ok for me to as well.
so im obviously out mentally....i havent da-ed but i cant care less!
but.....my co workers are encouraging me to find and join a church.
this person is particularly "wisdomonian" meaning she seems to solve and assist many an ailing indicidual in my field.
I'm pretty sure church of christ is a cult that uses many of the same tactics as the JWs
Love bombing, we are the ony true religion etc...
Why do you need to jump right back into another church anyway?
as i have mentioned before, i love photography, and specially a technique called hdr.
hdr stands for high dynamic range, and it means the ratio of the "lightness" of the lightest spot in the picture to the darkest.. .

I stole the last one for my desktop background, hope you don't mind
looks like a few of you on here might enjoy brown liquor as much as i, so i thought i'd ask.
neat, on the rocks, with water, with soda?.
my top 5 faves:.
Labrot & Graham Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
I did a search for it becuase I couln't remember the full name and saw a bottle for sale for $20.
Turns out it was just a $20 painting of the bottle.
not sure when i came to this conclusion but i can't imagine living forever.
after a while i think i would be completly bored with everything.. not saying i wouln't like to live for a few hundred years or maybe even a few thousand if i could travel through space and discover other universes star trek style.
but the thought of living forever sounds like it would eventually become a complete drag.. maybe i'm wrong, maybe after a thousand years or so you would foregt all the stuff that happend at the beginning and just start over in an infinite loop..
Xanthippe , I hadn't considered evolving. That might be a game changer for my opinion.
just one but he has to be constantly ready to replace it at a moments notice..
I posted my lame joke hoping for some funnier improvements and JWN didn't disappoint!!
yes, everyone has a price.
a number of years ago in a congregation i once was in there was a wealthy businessman in the congregation.
he made sure that all of the elders had annual vacations overseas or to the tropics paid for by himself.
I feel like if you had money to buy people off you might want to find someone more useful to use it on.
What's a telly hoser?
i don't subscribe to anything supernatural anymore.
but i wanted to experience it just for the simple pleasure of it.
since i don't believe anymore it has zero guilt and can just be fun.
I had a GF that used to use tarot cards. When I asked her about it she said she just used them to get a different point of view.
I always thought that was an interesting use for them.
i've read the walsh trial that indicates the societies stance of ' unity at all costs, even if we're wrong ' but that sounds more like conformity to me.
so how do other religions or movements justify the range of beliefs within their respective movements?
for example, the born again movement, a massive range of beliefs, but they don't insist on conformity.
Unity is when you are there by choice. Conformity is when you are forced to change or risk some sort of loss.
