the bible paints the creator (if any) of this grandiose universe as a terrible caricature.

8Sex and YHWH - 2 Samuel Ch 12.
by fulltimestudent inthere's been a few commentaries on this topic of late, so i'm offering a few more thoughts.. here's an extract from 2 samuel 12, consider for a moment the implications.. 7 then nathan said to david, “you are the man!
this is what the lord, the god of israel, says: ‘i anointed you king over israel, and i delivered you from the hand of saul.
8 i gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms.

Will Ukraine win?
by Fisherman ini was under the impression that it was going to be a short war, that russia’s military would indeed subdue ukraine’s forces quickly but that is not happening.
seems that russia’s military power is much less than it’s reputed to be.
no guess how it will all end..

re the pipeline bubbles. someone sabotage Russian property in inter- national waters.
Attacking Russia entails a maximum response. minimum is to secure the adjacent islands to this russian asset: Gotland, Bornholm and Ruegen, (part of Putin's former domain). in a special military operation.
How dare these islanders let saboteurs destroy Russian properties?

Overlapping Generation
by pandorasbox1914 inthe september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.
his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .
no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

I'm part of the genuine 1914 generation
congratulations, but granny, you could have up to 8 wt "generation" groups living with you, one big generation. and think about it, that wt generation would go on overlapping for another 100+ years.
Granny is not of the wt anointed generation (celebrating) though, those anointed will overlap only to 2075. even then,
it is not going to happen the wt way. because , because jesus said the generation will die after armageddon.

My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang
by Sea Breeze ina new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.
wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.
that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

everything in the universe seems to be self organizing restrained by the existing laws, why would that be different at the Big Baginning?

It is one thing to publish research results on a concrete entity, the immense universe, another to keep picking away at a a collection of books , covering a few thousand years in an area of a few thousand a square

The JW governing body are ALREADY priests!
by BoogerMan inhow many jw's are aware they have "priests?".
w02 5/1 p. 16 par.
9 jehovah hates the course of treachery - "comparably, for more than a century now, the anointed brothers of christ, those with the heavenly hope, have served as “a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to god.”.

wt leaders believe they are the mediators of the new covenant to the "sheep" now and for a 1000+ years. A priestly function they teach. Appointed in 1919, still teaching the same slogan: " (8) Millions now living will never die".

If not the WT/JW relgion where else are 'we' to go? Why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism?
by Disillusioned JW insometimes jws wonder if the wt/jw is not the truth, 'then where else are we to go?
' i say 'why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism and why not a secular philosophy which teaches a way of life?

inattentive of what religion says.
Ddjw. at their meetings the wt ladies have already achieved that, having most of the microphone time, in defiance of the "lords command" in I Cor. 14. "silent in the congregations of the hole ones"
If the Iranian revolution spreads to Iraq, the location of Babylon, and then beyond, that would be the fall of male dominated and centered religion.
Even "Jehavah" beeing able to become whatever whover he wants could comply, becoming a parent, more humane.
I always balked at the wt's 'man's face' being the picture of love, to me it is my beautiful ladie's faces.

When you are hit with excruciating pain of a possible end of life situation, what does wt offer? that you are in a possible replay of the Job saga.? The science outlook: Nature taking its course, the invaders are finally winning, recycling has started.
in both cases, small comfort. reach for the morphine. provided by:

Avoiding Temptation As a Young Elder
by TMS init was the summer of '72.
i was 24 but had been the presiding overseer or congregation servant of a small congregation in the county seat of an arkansas county for about 3 years.. my regular pioneer wife of nearly four years was big and pregnant, with our attempts at birth control unsuccessful.. one of my wife's several bible studies was with a young woman named brenda whom my wife had encountered in door to door work.. brenda had two young children she could barely handle and was married to a very countryfied arkie named henry who worked as a chicken catcher, one of the most difficult jobs at the local chicken plant.. brenda eventually revealed that she'd been raised as a jw, but was never baptized, having left home to marry henry at age 14. she spoke of her family in texas, mentioning her mother and two older sisters, all jws she said.. one morning, just before the meeting for field service, we noticed a small car in kingdom hall parking lot.
my wife and i were parked to one side of the hall in our aluminum nashua house trailer.. two young women got out of the car and soon joined us for the meeting for service, identifying themselves as brenda's sisters from texas.. the two girls, ages 17 and 20, were distractingly beautiful, with the eldest decked out like a magnificent southern belle including hat and heels, her high-end clothing accentuating her very obvious curves.. with no one else showing up for field service, it ended up just the four of us in the car group with the two texas girls in the back seat.. starting our time at a not-at-home, the 20 year old asked if she could accompany me to "hear my presentation.

There is definitely a sexual component to the wt religion. females will have skewed preferences based on status in the hierarchy (hormones at work). good news for otherwise beta to omega males.
