  just nothing more than a 'share'..... i was in pittsburgh on business and took a day off and paid a visit to russells grave.. i haven't stopped laughing since.

  i'm worried i'm going to break ribs.. had i seen this as a young kid/adult.....i surely would have thought "wtf???".

  folks...if you ever needed confirmation this whole thing is a laughable cult......make your way to pittsburgh and see chuck's resting spot.......its worth it just get pictures with his pyramid.. lol.

  Here is the link if ya want to read it more, it does appear that some of their statements are rather questionable, suiting the situation not reality.

  "most importantly, this magazine builds confidence in the creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new order before the generation that saw the events of 1914 c.e.

  “Masonry, like all the religions, all Mysteries, Hermetiscism, and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve to be mislead;”
  “So Masonry jealously conceals its secrets, and intentionally leads conceited interpreters astray. (Morals and Dogma, pp. 104, 105)

  I ALWAYS WONDERED AS A JW

  HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I CAN SHOW LOVE AND FORGIVNESS MORE THAN GOD JEHOVAH DOES?

  HOW IS IT THAT I HAVE MORE ABILITY TO TOLLERATE MEN AND NOT WANT TO KILL THEM AS COMPARED TO GOD JEHOVAH.

  ARE GODS RIGHTEOUS STANDARDS LESS THEN MINE?

  We are told that god gave us freedom of mind, freedom of choice - but - we can nly then do what we are told and with such a heavy load of burdon, where is the freedom that was given to adam?.

  The logic and reason is simply not there.

  it doesnt make sense.

  Old time JW's did some very devout JW's refuse to eat pizza with pepperroni because they believed "blood" was in the pepperroni?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have never heard this before until i read a life story of an ex-jws and how some jws in the past refused to eat pepperoni pizza because they thought blood was in pepperoni.

  i do know some elderly jw sisters would complain about eating steak if it bled while cooking.

  has anybody else heard of this pizza nonsense?.

  Are They Cynically Shutting Down The Organization?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've raised this idea before but recent events seem to support it.

  changes in the watchtower may be guided by more than a need for cash flow: they may simply be liquidating/shutting it down as discreetly as possible.. of course, this doesn't mean they stop working on their upstate ny country club - but it could mean that the throrough going exposure and disproof of their beliefs on the internet, when it emerged, took many of them by surprize, as it did many of us!

  after awhile, they generally gave up trying to make any sense of their doctrines - and coupled with cash flow issues - moved towards a quiet retreat.. take a look at a few things:.

  The changes they are making are the end.

  by making stupid 16 page flyers and sending all the faithful to the nternet for their food they are making a grave error.

  Deliberate or stupidity i am not sure.

  Web sites take a LOT of work, not in being there but in getting people to go there.

  not all the faithful have computers let alone access to internet especially in third world places.

  those in first world places might go there a few times just as we take a look, but they will get more looks from this group than the faithful.

  I recently asked family members if they had seen some articules, answer NO, they all have computers, all internet access..

  I asked several others, if they had seen the brother giving a masturbation lecture, answer no it wouldnt be on the societies website and i should be careful where i look... so many apostate sites on the internet.

  I slowely pointed out to 3 different individuals that it was on the official website, they suggested that the brother would be reproved and that it wouldnt stay there....

  that is rank and file appointed peoples responcses.

  Now,, if these faithful are not visiting even now,, when will they?.

  they will go to download the latest wt or other material?.

  it will be a VERY slow change, a change that will not be sustainable because the interest factor is NOT there to recall them.

  It was hard enough getting people out in service, it will be impossible to get them feeding from this website,

  the GB is DREAMING completely in LALA LAND...
