  Evolution is a Fact #37 - Testicles

  take a look at the back of your tv/entertainment centre.

  a mass of power and signal cables connect the various pieces of equipment in very specific ways.

  imagine you wanted to switch the locations of your satellite receiver and your dvd player.

  Why do witnesses feel the need to put JW ORG on all their social media sites?

  have you all noticed the obsession witnesses have of putting jw.org on all their social media sites like facebook, twitter, instagram etc?.

  so many put it in their bio section...like some sort of loud proclamation to other witnesses that they are righteous and spreading the message.. it's also very lazy.

  now with no personal effort at all, they can just say jw.org and be "witnessing".

  @stephanie61092 ALL of instagram is staged happiness. "Here is a picture of whatever the hell I ate last night."

  Who cares what you shoved into your pie hole?

  Damaging Children With the Christian Gospel

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the christian gospel begins with the dehumanising assertion that all humans are fallen sinners who deserve nothing but god's judgement and wrath.. not only does this taint all relationships between christians and unbelievers, it destroys the beautiful innocence of childhood.

  in a recent edition of the popular christian radio program "family life today", titled “introducing your child to god,” co-host bob lepine discussed teaching “practical theology” to his young daughter, explaining:.

  when my daughter, amy, was still less than two years old, i started teaching practical theology to her.

  Here is my well thought out response. Just eeewwww!

  Do these people not see themselves as nauseating? But as Dagney pointed out, this is true of all religion.

  Whether it's the doctrine of inherited sin or the belief that anyone that does not follow Allah should die, religion is what stands in the way of true human progress.

  So here once again is my issue with the sale of all of these properties and how they are being marketed. The WT purchased these properties at a time when Brooklyn was on the ropes financially and a less than desirous location. They removed the properties from the tax rolls and gave zero back to the community. Now they are marketing them to the ultra rich and thereby contributing to the gentrification of Brooklyn, once again showing that they could care less about the mess they leave behind.

  On top of all of this they market these properties in a fashion that panders to all of the things they are supposed to stand against namely materialism and a society that values hedonism over spirituality.

  The textbook definition of hypocrisy. Just evil and vomit inducing.

  BTW  I once sat in one of the towers and flipped Bud bottle caps onto the street below as a drunken Bethelite. Then later puked up beer and pizza in my friends room at the 107 building.  Ahhh good times.

  i was reading in another forum, that a letter to the elders instructed them to speak to anybody who persists in wearing tight pants.

  if changes don't happen then the instructions are to disqualify him from being a publisher but it won't be announced to the congregation.

  i am am curious to see if this letter will surface.

  great article...chinese were brewing beer 5,000 years ago.... not bad considering it's not far off adam & eve... :).

  .. .. chinese drinkers may have been brewing beer as many as 5,000 years ago, new research suggests.. us and chinese researchers say they found traces of barley, millet, grain, and tubers used in fermentation.. it was found on pottery discovered in shaanxi province in northern china during an archaeological dig 10 years ago.. it would be the earliest known instance of beer-making in china and suggest a sophisticated approach.. published in the us proceedings of the national academy of sciences, the study also suggested that barley may have been used for booze before being used for food.. as every home-brewer knows, funnels are an essential piece of kit.

  Why don't they just say what they mean?: If you can't pray the gay away, at least don't dress like a queer.

  "The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)

  by Poztate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .

  (paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.

  i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

  I recall the idea that we were supposed to stand still and see god's salvation, not hide out in bomb shelters because god was going to miraculously protect us.

  I think if my parents were around today to see this type of manipulation and fear mongering, they would leave the cult as well.

  Jehovahs witnesses investing in stocks involving pornography, alcohol distribution and military war weapons??

  why is this the first time i have come across this?

  my husband showed me a video about how the jws invest in stock like cinemax, disney, companies producing war weapons, alcohol and much much more.

  if this is true, there are tax records to show for it right?

  No person or corporation is FORCED to take money. It seems as if they wanted to take the high road they could donate any proceeds or shares to another charity.

  Oh wait, er....there is no high road when it comes to wtbs and $$.
