More Fun with AI

a jw once asked me if i knew that an "orange" is conscious and even though he did not explain further (told me i wasn't ready yet) i bet he never knew i would think of this from time to time over the years.

so i asked gemini what he could have meant and a lot of ideas came back, different philosophies and religions.. so i asked gemini, can you design a new religion by combining these ideas in a way that has not been done before and suggest a name for the religion and this is what it came back with:.

Delightedly we can observe that the FLESH that has actually been EATEN UP belonged to the nattering nabobs of negativism who dispensed this bilge, some almost literally so, dying of cancer.

C'mon, give me a smile! It is a good thing when these guys take their dirt naps. Let there be dancing in the streets!

PS - JanH was one of the GREAT apostates.

What is the Craziest Thing You Are Aware Of Someone Being Disfellowshipped For?

by Sea Breeze in

i knew a lady who was disfellowshipped for 20 years for smoking.

she finally went back to the kh and since they couldn't find her paperwork, (all the former elders were dead) she was allowed back in without reinstatement.

no one even remembered her.

Stan Livedeath confessed, "I enjoy blasphemy."

Then I'm your huckleberry, whatever THAT means.

Currently I'm doing Dihydrogen Monoxide and Palmitoylethanolamide, but that's not important.

The important thing is: Did I amuse you? Did I give you a chuckle at the expense of Warchtower Elders?

I can imagine the conclave of dunderheads that disfellowshipped the poor demented Sister that Hoser told us about.

[Scene - a mundane generic Kingdom Hall Library. Brothers Frick, Frack, and Smith have just convened a Judicial Committee.]

Brother Bingo Smith: "...in Jesus' name, Amen. Well, Brothers, today we have a serious case of unrepentant wrongdoing. It seems that Sister Anne Elke was seen participating in..."

Brother Melchizidek Frick, interrupting: "Hey, Zek, I've gotta say that Barbie was looking unrepentantly hot tonight. Your wife is so fuckn' per..."

Brother Zechariah Frack: "I told you before Mel, don't talk to me about your friendship with my wife. Can you give me just the slightest bit of brotherly respect?"

Brother Melchizidek Frick: "...fect. Are you sure you're my "brother," Zek? I mean, the accident tore 'em off, didn't it? I could call you "sister Zek" and be closer..."

Brother Bingo Smith: "Shut up, both of you. We've got shit to do here. Sin has crept into our congregation! We must sanitize, Sanitize, SANITIZE this part of Jehovah's Glorious Kingdom. And Zek will get his balls back in The New World, inshallah."

Brother Melchizidek Frick: "...to the truth. OK, Smitty, what's up with nutty Sister Elke now? and I know you used to be a Muslim, but you gotta stop using those Arab words."

Brother Bingo Smith: "You know Sister Lois Biddybodi works at that Adut Family Home? One of the worldly patients there had a Birthday Party, and Lois saw Anne Elke eating a piece of cake. If this becomes public knowledge it might dishonor Jehovah's Most Holy name. I visited Sister Elke at the Home, and she kept telling me she didn't remember eating any cake, and that she knows it would be a very bad thing to do so."

Brother Zechariah Frack: "Unrepentant! Worse yet, it could lead to rampant birthday-cake-eating right here in our Sunny Village Congregation of Jehovah's Christian Witnesses and from here it could spread to the circuit. If that happened, we might get deleted as Elders."

Brother Bingo Smith: "Speak for yourself, Zek. I've got, uh, "insurance" with the District Servant. I'm bulletproof. But we have to nip this cake-eating nonsense in the bud. Nip it in the bud, I say! Nip it now!"

Brother Zechariah Frack: "Wait a minute... everyone knows that Sister Elke is nuts. Remember at the Memorial last year she guzzled the wine and sang "Goin' Up Yonder"? It is amazing that she still has such a good voice, but she can't tell you the date of her own birthday."

Brother Bingo Smith: "We know that birthdays are SATANIC. Nip it in the bud! Now!"

Brother Melchizidek Frick: "OK already - but YOU make the announcement, Smitty. I don't want to announce that my aunt has been disfellowshipped. Hey, are we still on for bourbon and cigars tomorrow night at our usual place? One of the Hustler girls is supposed to be dancing there tomorrow."

"JW elders are not covered by clergy penitent privilege."

WHY NOT?

A "penitent" is a person who is repents the wrongs they have done. Additionally, Clergy-penitent privilege, also known as priest-penitent privilege, is an evidentiary rule that protects confidential communications between a member of the clergy and a person seeking spiritual counseling from being disclosed in court or other legal proceedings.

Notice that it requires "a" member of the clergy, not three gossips. So if I tell the triumvirate about my murders, that is not a clergy-penitent confession, it's a chat with "the guys," or, as Anony Mous put it, a "business meeting."

Let's say I go to a Judicial Committee of three elders and tell them that I was mugged. I have not committed any wrong; I am not "confessing" anything.

Self control fruits of the spirit. Fat GB seem to lack it

by JohnR1975 in

fruits of the spirit would surely be required to be gb members?

yet some of them seem to lack self control when it comes to eating.

br herd, mark sanderson and br jackson in these are all very obese.. if they travel to poor places wearing their rolex watches and gold pinky rings the brothers there will surely wonder why they are so fat.. there are many scriptures talking about not being greedy and not gluttonous for food.. if they were really chosen by god as his channel on earth then why can’t they show the fruits of the spirit and show self control when it comes to being gluttonous?.

Rattigan350 said, "Seabreeze - The Governing body members are not the leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Jesus is the leader."

and we know Jesus is on the THIN side; in fact, you can see right through him (literally and figuratively). He is VERY H/W proportionate. So he is demonstrating the "Fruits of the Loom."

Can you help me with this please?

by HOTB in

i posted as hotb but my last comment came out liked to primrose.. i've included a link to the post below.. any help in explaining what is going would be much appreciated.. i'll ne interested if this post is linked to me at hotb or to primrose.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5190898829230080/there-new-rule-regarding-disfellowshipped-people.

Nathan Natas

First question: Are you both HOTB and PRIMROSE?

(Not that there's anything wrong with that ..(i.e., NTTAWWT))

Second question: Does this happen on one device, or do two different devices display different attribution of the post?

If this happens on one device, it's DEEMINZ! If two different devices display different attribution of the post, the problem is much easier to solve.
