  Money and Happiness

  by berrygerry in

  wt has made a number of references to this alleged quote by j. paul getty:.

  “money doesn’t necessarily have any connection with happiness.

  nothing in my wt life brought more stress and anxiety than not having enough money.. this quote makes far more sense:.

  I'm sure this is why they're dancing in the streets in Somalia.

  Personally, there will be at least a bottle wine, and bread dipped in olive oil and herbs. A NY strip will come into play at some point. Plus a martini to start it all off with and perhaps a finger or two of Johnnie Green and a cigar for a proper finish and to celebrate the fact that I don't believe in fairytales anymore.

  Then I'll swear off red meat and booze for awhile so my health doesn't go completely off the rails.

  Cheers to all of us godless sinners!

  Anthony Morris - The Higher Education Broadcast

  last night i had jw broadcasting on in the background while i was working, i like to keep up to date with their crap.

  which is strange because when i actually was a jw i hated reading or watching their material.. anyway, on the streaming section, anthony morris comes on screen telling me that higher education is bad and "the better the university, the greater the danger".

  i never would have believed it if i hadn't seen him say it myself.

  Tough to find someone with a graduate degree to set tile and do electrical for free at one of your building projects.

  Witnesses' Moral Apathy

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the hardest things for me to learn about myself as i have mentally exited "da troof" is that i have a weak moral compass and i think this is common to many witnesses.

  i mean that as i have allowed less and less of my thinking to be framed by witness doctrine, i have had to start thinking for myself about how i feel about certain things.

  for example, what do i feel about war, freedom of speech for extremists, charitable works, political views, animal welfare and much, much more.. this was underlined this weekend when i attended the circuit assembly (approx 900 attendees, 3 baptised - 2 born ins btw) where the bethel speaker said that witnesses have booked their ticket out of this system and don't have to worry about the wars and famines of this world because they know it's all going to pass with the new system.. in another thread it's been mentioned that the wts is failing to mention other groups being marginalised and persecuted in russia alongside witnesses.. as a witness i never realised the extent to which i was blind to the moral dilemmas that most other people have to think about, educate themselves on and come to a point of view about.

  This type of thinking is easy to accomplish when you mentally have written off every other person as going to be destroyed at the big A. That's why even within families there is a mental disconnect with one another because if your brother or sister, son or daughter steps out of line, well......you know. They're gonna be aced by the all loving god of the Hebrews.

  on my commute past 25 columbia heights, i noticed that the large 25'x25' jworg sign has come down.. i'm sure the sentiments of the entire brooklyn heights neighborhood are something like, "don't let the door hit you on the way out.

  Time and Temp are still there. Hard to say about the WT sign, they built some condos between the original building and the river. I'll look closer next time.....

  Atheism = self defeating.

  by towerwatchman in

  atheism = self defeating.

  first may we define our terms.

  the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

  As usual, the facts are ignored. These people were in the school because of legislation enacted under Ronald Reagan's administration. Read the WAPO article here

  Unbelievable the amount of finger pointing here. "Additional" crimes really? They'd likely be inclined to criminal behavior in their home countries as well. So are their crimes worse because they occurred here? If their victims were in Honduras would that be okay?

  This OP is rank race baiting.
