how many times did you hear that gem?
it often went along with "the truth is a protection" which is their way of saying "living a moral life is good for you ... and you can't do that without us".. but think about what people are really saying.
i think the real message is "i know it's not the truth, but i chose to follow it anyway".. it seems like a pre-emptive argument because they know they can't defend it as "the truth" so instead they switch to defending it as a lifestyle.. of course any kind of lifestyle that has a decent moral ingredient to it, respect for law and order, discipline etc... probably increases people's chances of doing better in life, but they don't have a monopoly on it.. so just remember, next time you hear someone saying "even if it's not the truth" what they are really admitting is that they already know it isn't..

Like you, I was raised in the WBT$/JW Cult......It`s a very common saying.
Most JW`s don`t care if it`s the truth or not..
When you`re a member of the WBT$/JW Cult..
Truth Isn`t a Priority..
i offer this video for your perusal and consideration should they seriously stop posturing and lay their cards on the table and work for the good of all and just not be concerned about humanity in general?.

HOW TO CULTIVATE PEACE IN AN ANGRY WORLD
Told ya..
Same old Watchtower/JW Crap..
Presented like no one has ever heard it before..
"This is a Special Talk!"
surely the jaydubs have read these scriptures.. it seems pretty plain even in their own bible.. 2 first of all, then, i urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made concerning all sorts of men, 2 concerning kings and all those who are in high positions, so that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with complete godly devotion and seriousness.+ 3 this is fine and acceptable in the sight of our savior, god,+ 4 whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved+ and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.
5 for there is one god,+ and one mediator+ between god and men,+ a man, christ jesus,+ 6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all —this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time.. .
i looked up the word "intercession" and it is defined as.... intercession or intercessory prayer is the act of praying to a deity on behalf of others.. i looked for reference to this passage in the jw library and the article i found put the emphasis on "living a quiet calm life with seriousness and godly devotion".
1 Timothy 2 says to "Pray for Kings and those in high postitons". Why don't JWs do that?
They do..

It seemed that it was very important that I hear this talk.
He already knows, it will be nothing he hasn`t heard before..
Most likely he`s parroted the same WBT$/JW Crap to you, over and over and over..
I think he wants me to be there for show. That he's "witnessing" to me.
Now you`re catching on..
In JW Lah-Lah Land, it`s all about appearances..

There is nothing special, about any of the special meetings/talks, ect ect..
None of it will be anything, JW`s haven`t heard a thousand times before..
It will be a few wasted hours of your life, you`ll never get back..
.....
as we know, witnesses teach that adam and eve were perfect and then committed the first act of sin and rebellion.. they in turn were cursed,and we all declined as their offspring.
humans supposedly lived shorter and shorter lives, and became more imperfect and sinful.. the further away in time humans go then, they should be getting worse.
so why is it then that as a society, humans have actually improved in so many ways?.
So why have we improved as a society even though we are now so "far from perfection"?
.
the helper’s high.
when people help others, it makes them feel good.
we get what researchers call a “helpers high,” or a profound sense of well-being and optimism associated with helping.. and the impact goes further than just the emotional.
Open the door at the bank for the old lady with the walker, instead of tripping her..
They like that..
.....
i used to dread seeing a witness coming toward me.
now i am quite comfortable and hope that they may say something to me..... does your blood pressure rise when you see a jw coming toward you?
?.
Someone says that sometimes current Witnesses stop by, but they only stay a week and go. Perhaps you could ask Outlaw why that is.....Tom Harley
No Problem Tom!..
There are some JW`s who get along just fine here..
Then we get the odd Assh*le who starts out, by attacking other posters.
Outlaw says JWs do not concern him since they just stand around literature carts. He then ridicules those who do it, even inserting a $ sign where it doesn't belong, implying someone is making a buck off the cart's contents, when in fact, they are giving it away..
Okay, Outlaw has shown himself to be an assassin nutjob..
The trouble with any hate group is that they feed upon themselves.
Apostates try to reframe this to suggest there would be no pedophilia problem without Jehovah's Witnesses.....Tom Harley
When they can`t handle the results of the problems, they`ve gone out of their way to create..
This happens..
perhaps it is time to move on. I hope there will not be echoes of ‘what a coward he was for running,’ like the taunt from the Monty Python Black Knight.....Tom Harley
