He picked Judge Rutherford? If he did, Jesus is an asshole!

if i understand this garbage correctly, they are saying that from 1914 to 1918 jesus was refining the anointed ?.
then in 1919 he chose them to be his providers of "food at the proper time" ?.
so why, if he is perfect, did he have to "examine" them, was not his refining work up to standard ?

yup, there were 3 of them camped out in front of the store with their display of materials - first time i've seen them there.
he said he converted 5 years ago from the presbyterians, and that he had learned more in 1 year with the jws than all his time with the presbyterians (the usual stuff, jesus died on a stake, paradise earth, etc).
he claimed he didn't know about the invisible return of jesus, he was dismissive of the impact of disfellowshipping and that people can leave with little consequence, he claimed that the romans didn't use a cross until 200 years after jesus died on the stake.
Oh no, we don't beleive in Armeggedon. Just sip the Kool aid.

i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .
and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..
It has to be John Cedars: the Man, the Myth, the Legend. In his own mind.

I am a winner, just trying to catch a break. Everything is cool, I will look back on the salad days eventually. Or not, roll the bones. I will be okay either way. I know what I want, and will not settle for less. That would be too easy.
I want what I want, and I know what it is. I will wait for it. I hope it will wait for me.

I disagree Quandry,
Losing that religion is one of my most cherished lost things! I let my "LOSER" freak flag fly on that one, and am proud of it.

I just thought of something. I have spent most of my life feeling like I am a loser. I have been compensating for those messages most of my adult life. With therapy and acquired wisdom I have mostly gotten past those feelings.
Today I can tell you I am a loser and not feel bad about myself. Being a loser just means you are a person that lost things. Over the course of my life I have lost many things. Some of them I cared about deeply, and others I am grateful for losing. But today, being a loser does not define me. It does not have to impact me emotionally anymore.
Hell, if you have not lost anything, you are either a hoarder, or have not taken a chance in your entire life. That would be much more tragic than losing things. Suck every last morsel out of this life, it is all we have!
Have a great day, and do not be afraid to take chances!
