The charities Commitee has been investigating Jehovah`s Witnesses since 2013 ?

Jesus ,six / seven years and they still haven`t revoked their charitable status ?

I totally agree with fall guy on this issue , this is a disgrace 7 years and no action ?

Dumb things JWs believed

by JimmyYoung in

i am not talking about the usual crap from the cult writings, but rather things idiots believed on their own.

maybe even helped on by the cult but not directly taught.

i knew an old man now long gone kunde in michigan.

One elder in our cong.truly believed his wife got her periods twice a month ,good ploy ladies if you can get away with it ,she did.

She was always on deaths bed so to speak supposedly her body was filled with cancer and this elder who was also into new age medicines believed his wife could pass her cancer out on the toilet.

The funny thing is he knew the bible and could use it to his advantage I was with him one time when we called on a minister of religion and he ran rings around this Xian minister .

What do The GB / JW`s now Say, when JC begins/began his 1,000 year reign.

by smiddy3 in

maybe i`m just getting old , jesus christ was king of the jews 2,000 years ago ,he was supposed to have returned in 1879 ?

and armageddon was to have occured in 1914 ,which of course didn`t happen .. and then wt in their wisdom adjusted that belief to mean that was when he was enthroned as king to sit at gods right hand .right ?

or am i wrong here.. or was he just to sit at gods right hand until god makes him a king after armageddon .?.

Or was he just to sit at Gods right hand until God makes him a king after armageddon .?

In other words he is not a king right now.

Now is 1914 the start of the 1,000 reign or not I seem to be getting two lots of messages here .

Some seem to believe his 1,000 reign doesn`t start till after Armageddon .

And some seem to believe here that his kingship started in 1914 and he has done SFA for these past 106 years.

So which is it ?

SFA ...sweet f***k all for those who don`t know.

The end is so close now....

by punkofnice in

aren't they tiring out from saying this now?.

a jobo pimi-lite i know has a terminal illness (no names, no pack drill), was told, 'hold on, the end is so close.

the pimi-lite said they will need to hold on to their 'go bags(tm), then!.

Another silly Bible story....Joshua and the killing hailstones

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

◄ joshua 10:11 ►.

and it came to pass, as they fled from before israel, and were in the going down to bethhoron, that the lord cast down great stones from heaven on them to azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of israel slew with the sword.. .

looks like the amorites came to the battle only wearing helmets.

smiddy3

And why did he ask the sun to stand still ? wasnt he aware that the earth revolves around the sun and not vice versa ? And spins on its Axis ?

If jehovah had listened to Joshua to give the appearnce of the Sun standing still and actually stopped the earth rotating on its Axis ?

Armageddon would be like a picnic in the park .

Fundraiser: Pancreatic cancer : Raffle Man Utd shirt signed by team

by Diogenesister in

you might have noticed some of my comments over the last few months have been a bit down.. you see my wonderful brother, marcus, is terminally ill with pancreatic cancer.

to make things worse, as if they could be, he was finally blessed with his first child, liliana, 19 months ago and we're all absolutely heartbroken for this little girl.. my sister joined a running club some years back and she's finally got a place to run the london marathon 2020. she's donating money raised by the run to pancreatic cancer uk.

they're currently researching for a test...its basically why the prognosis for this cancer is so poor, there are few very specific symptoms... until it's too late.. her footie mad boyfriend has got his paws on a signed man utd football shirt which they are raffling.
