The Tower ate many Baby Boomers

by Alex Delta in

jw
friends

i do some thinking every once and a great while and had a little brain storm which to most of you is just a cloudy sky.

looking back into history i put one and two together and see that the baby boomers came to be after the 4 first false prophecies of the tower which were in 1914, 1915, 1925 and 1945. after all this jazz happens they have a huge fall out and change and twist their doctrine to set up their next sales pitch, and wouldn't you know it, who's there for the towers perfect meal, baby boomers, the tower chew's away and gets pretty full for they're plenty of them, those ingredient were perfect.

these people grew up with wars, tons of protest's, scandals you name it there was plenty of things happening to them, add a little this and a dash of that and that's what the tower loves to feed on the feared.

the Baby Boomers were prime material for the Watchtower

Begs the question, who is the prime material these days?

Do the trolley carts fit in with today's generation (not the WT version of course)

The internet along with the more hip jw.org sure seems to.

Maybe they know that you can text and browse your ipad while you’re sitting next to the trolleys. The door to door work has to seem like torture to anyone raised on video games. Even more so than for us folks that were raised watching paint dry for fun.

We will know for sure when we see angry cat on the cover of the Awake.

What happened to the "Witness" part of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by donny in

i just got back from my afternoon walk/run and about a block from home i saw two sets of jw's going door to door handing out invites to the memorial.. the first pair walked past me and only said "good afternoon" as they passed.. about two minutes later the second pair approached me and handed me an invite to 2014 memorial on april 14. i asked them why they chose the jw's as their church of choice and was told "we'd like to chat more but we have a set number of invites we have to get out before the memorial.

if you contact the kingdom hall listed here, they will tell you more... on how god's kingdom will rid the world of satan and the evil associated with him.".

i replied "you can't talk now?".

Is this new? I don't remember a push to invite non-members to the memorial. They were always too scared they might partake. I thought it was just studies, relatives and inactive ones that you made an effort to invite.

Seems like the worst meeting on the planet to be invited to if you want to drum up interest.

Maybe it's a push to make this seem like it just might be the last memorial?

Need advice for asking a girl out

by DuvanMuvan in

well long story short, i've been meaning to ask this girl at school out for a while but i can never do it because her friends are always there in the way and i would prefer to ask her in person.

we've liked each other for a while (i was oblivious until about a month or two ago) and i'm also i bit worried she'll get tired of waiting.. i was just wondering if anyone had any advice or something that they could give me.

mynameislame

yet another thing the all knowing JWs prevent their young people from learning.

Don't even look at a girl till you are ready to marry. Don't maturbate. Then when you are horny and desperate you will marry the first girl that gives you the time of day.

Now here you are, stuck with the wrong girl. You gave up your chance to progress in your job or education and are now left asking yourself "Where else can I go?". (the real meaning behind the statement " whom shall we go away to ")

As for you DuvanMuvan If it is that hard to ask her out you are probably thinking about her in fantasyland. If so that is the first thing you need to stop doing. Stop thinking of her a “the one”. There is no such thing! If you have her on a pedestal before you even know her where has she got to go once you are in a relationship? There are plenty of women out there plenty of which you will be able to get along with quite nicely.

How The Governing Body's Jealous Imaginary Friend/Corporation Sock Puppet Is Really Screwing Up Their Decision Making Capacity As CEOs Of The Watchtower Corporation

by frankiespeakin in

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.

Update of course

by Jon Preston in

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!

mynameislame

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.

Joining a Church and advice from co-workers!!!!!!!!!!

by Jon Preston in

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.

mynameislame

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?

Photography and HDR

by ILoveTTATT in

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.. .

Whiskey and bourbon preferences?

by bluesbreaker59 in

jw
friends

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:.

mynameislame

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.

Is there anything you could do forever that wouln't get boring?

by mynameislame in

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.
