"Keep on doing this in memory of me," has been the Watchtower headline for their "Memorial" of Christ's death. The Watchtower pride's itself for conducting the Eucharist as Jesus himself did almost 2,000 years ago.

Step 1: Gather the congregation together in one room on Nisan 14.

Step 2: Say a prayer and pass emblem #1.

Step 3: Say a prayer and pass emblem #2.

For the second year in a row Jehovah's Witnesses will break with their own belief system. Instead of holding their Black Mass of rejecting the body and blood of Christ they will be staying home to listen to the same talk that has been given for decades only streamed over the internet. What does this reveal?

The real Memorial Jehovah's Witnesses conduct is just a 45 minute talk sandwiched between a song and a prayer. The real Memorial is held for the benefit of the "Great Crowd" and casts scorn to those who claim to be Annointed brothers and sisters of Christ.

The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses? Hardly!

Just another Yahweh cult? Absolutely!

Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?

it looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

18 U.S. Code § 2102.Definitions

(b)As used in this chapter, the term “to incite a riot”, or “to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot”, includes, but is not limited to, urging or instigating other persons to riot, but shall not be deemed to mean the mere oral or written (1) advocacy of ideas or (2) expression of belief, not involving advocacy of any act or acts of violence or assertion of the rightness of, or the right to commit, any such act or acts.

The FBI had intel published on January 5, 2021 that there were people coming and planned on carrying out acts as seen on January 6, 2021. Excluding those individuals, were other people who came to the rally on January 6, 2021 incited by that rally to riot? That is the accusation which requires being proven by evidence.

Jehovah`s Credentials Fail or Pass

by smiddy3 in

judging by jehovah gods past dealings with the israelite / jews , i wonder why anybody can take seriously anything that he has promised for the future .. or is it what humans want to believe he has in store for them ?.

during jehovah`s dealings with the israelites they had a leprosy colony in their midst .he didn`t do anything about that .. they had wars that he instigated and supported and people died on both sides of the wars.

israelites as well as the enemy.. he accepted slavery ,did nothing about it .

Rocketman:

You have a good point as to gods never existing as man explains them. There seems to be a point in human history where things change. There seems to be individuals who gained enlightenment (probably through drug use or dehydration/starvation techniques) and used a common system to try and explain what they learned. In turn, other men took the enlightenment and turned it into a system of rules. Compare what Jesus taught and what he did versus the religion of Christianity.

Spirituality is something you experience and not something to conform to. Religion should be used to express gratitude for life and sharing how it makes you happy with others. Unfortunately religion is used to control the behavior of others.

How Do You Think Election Votes Should Be Counted?

by minimus in

friends

do you think voters should be required to prove that they are legitimate?.

truth_b_known

In the United States the voting system actually works quite well. If anything needs to be changed it is the campaign contribution laws. Elected officials spend way too much time raising money for re-election campaigns and no where near enough time listening to their constituents.

Smiddy3:

You have made a valid point. I also disagree with the whole concept of apologetics which is nothing more than mental gymnastics based on speculation and circular deduction. However, it also brings to light a common thread of reasoning seen. That common thread is the atheist view of god or gods being intergalactic butlers to the human race.

The hypothesis is that, if there is an all-powerful, conscious entity who created mankind it is this entity's moral duty to make sure man has -

Food
Water
Clothing
Housing
Unlimited medical care
Prevents all death other than death from old age (and even that should be addressed eventually)

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

In the 1800s Nietzsche saw the rise of rationalism and naturalism. He new it would be the end of religion in the West. He predicated that the end result would be one of two pathologies - nihilism and totalitarian authoritarian utopias. In other words, rationalism has replaced the supernatural intergalactic butler with the national butler, government.

The JW cult creates pessimistic personalities in all the PIMI congregants is my opinion

by goingthruthemotions in

i am not saying all jw congregants are pessimistic, but i would go as far to say all pimi jw congregants are pessimistic.. why do i say this, my wife is my measuring stick.

she has barely an optimistic bone in her being.

she will only focus on the bad parts of anything.

Men will be -

Lacking affection
Disobedient to parents
Disorderly
Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

When hasn't the human race been like that? The whole history of Israel in the Bible can check everyone of those boxes. Literally, from the book of Genesis on that's how people have been.
