  November 2017 JW broadcasting HYPOCRISY!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  ok...so i am on a bit of a temper tantrum rant here...but if anyone has (endured) watched this month's broadcast, you will know what i mean!.

  i have only watched 20 mins so far, and the hypocrisy is mind blowing.

  they dare to go on about how thoroughly they research the material produced, so that errors are prevented etc.. for instance, the actually say how they ensure that a scientist is not misquoted, or that an "evolutionist" is not inaccurately quoted to make it seem like his comments are different to his intentions.

  I find it ironic as well that the example given is actually one of the best know examples of misquoting scientists - "Life - How did it get Here? By Creation or Evolution" is bar far one of the clearest examples of the Watchtower misrepresenting scientific research. Even the title is misleading as evolution has nothing to do with abiogenesis.

  Unwritten Theory

  by moreconfusedthanever in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have any of you heard some theories from jws that are not based on scripture?

  i have, in the past few days, heard a couple that have me shaking my head.. first one is that since satan was around during the creation period and probably watched on as things were being made, it is possible that he is responsible for the creation of some of the more hideous and nasty creatures that live among us.

  surely god wouldn't make horrible things.. second one is that satan already had a bad attitude before the creation of adam and eve and was collecting followers among the other angels early on and stirring trouble.

  Here is the first crazy JW theory I had ever heard. I heard it when I was about 4 or 5 -

  "Satan and his demons (Satan owns demons? Demons work for Satan? What?) created dinosaur bones to make people believe in evolution."

  Without a doubt the most insane theory I had ever heard.

  Not much later I heard -

  "UFOs and alien sightings are made by Satan and his demons to make people believe there is life elsewhere in the universe and therefor evolution is true."

  I find it amazing that I think I actually started my escape from that organization before I started primary school.

  Faced with the reality of mortality

  by stuckinarut2 in

  how have you all coped with facing the reality of our mortality?.

  most of us were raised to firmly believe we would never get old or die... so here we are now having to face the reality that are getting older... we are going to die.. sometimes it really pisses me off that we were never helped to comprehend this most basic of facts.

  we were given a utopian dream as a "fact", and hence never taught how to face our inevitable futures.... thoughts?.

  I've looked Death square in the eye and you know what; he doesn't look half bad.

  US Child Marriage

  by Slidin Fast in

  2. child-abuse

  i was blissfully unaware of the child marriage laws in the us.

  it seems that it is possible and relatively common for girls as young as 12 to marry men much, much older than them.

  in many states it seems that child marriage is relatively easy to arrange.

  I believe the Texas legislature just passed a law that requires persons to be of at least 18 years of age to marry.

  last thursday i bunch of us working decided we were going to head down to the state fair and badge our way in to get a fletcher's corny dog for lunch.

  we had to go to a specific gate to park and show our credentials to get in.

  this meant driving halfway around the perimeter of the entire fairgrounds.

  Muslim women are promised one man who has a never ending erection. Muslim women only get one man, versus 72 virgins for men, because Islam teaches a woman should have no more than one man. Anything more than one partner would be disgusting in their eyes.

  That photo would be of them. Again, for every one of those displays there were at least 6 Witnesses, if not more, standing around the display.

  Last Thursday I bunch of us working decided we were going to head down to the State Fair and badge our way in to get a Fletcher's Corny Dog for lunch. We had to go to a specific gate to park and show our credentials to get in. This meant driving halfway around the perimeter of the entire fairgrounds. No biggy.

  What blew me away was that about every 50 yards there was a group of Witnesses standing around one of their book displays. I would say there was easily 6 Witnesses per display. We passed at least 10 displays just getting to where we needed to park. They were at all the parking lots surrounding the fairgrounds and on every street corner. I probably only got to see about 1/3 of all the stands and groups. There were easily 200 Witnesses just standing by their respective stand.

  Never once did I see them engaged in conversation with the fair goers. They just stood there and talked with each other. What a productive group.

  The wonder of scientific research

  by amicabl in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this has possibly been brought up before however here goes.. constant reference is made by many posters to scientific research as being the only way to prove something factual that would otherwise have to be taken on faith.

  there actually seems to be "faith" in scientific findings.. my experience over many years is that most scientific research is fake.

  nothing oftencomes of the big announcements made to raise more money.. money, prestige, pride, human error, suppositions etc., are rife amongst the scientific community.. i realise that there have been many advances over hundreds of years but humankind is in a mess, although very different to even a century ago.. the medical profession now has vaccinations for everything, antiviral drugs etc.
