ISIS Destruction of Ancient Palmyra Temple

by freemindfade in

anyone who has read what happened here, both to the ancient site and also the grizzly murder of antiquity scholar khalid asaad, consider this.

what religious/theocracy on earth now most resembles the stories of "god's chosen people" of the old testament?

probably isis does.

Saintbertholdt

This boils my blood.

When people destroy priceless history because of their religious beliefs, I do not know whether I should laugh or cry. In the "new system" the Pyramids, St. Peters and St. Paul's would be blown to smithereens as pagan symbols. Religious artwork would be destroyed en masse because it represents Babylon the Great.

I'm sure fundamentalist Muslims in Syria are throwing a party. Yes Syria, blow up your heritage and stay in the fuckin stupid ages. That's why the West does not return all the stolen treasures to their lands of origin. Until you can be trusted with your own heritage, they'll stay in the 'infidels' keep. Do you hear that Dr. Zahi Hawass?

JW UN Rumor

yes, i have returned.. a short recap of major events since my inactivity began: i finally revealed to my parents that i do not believe the same thing they believe in (after i was caught smooching my girlfriend by a family of good-for-nothing pieces of human feces), and of course they view themselves as failed parents who were unable to brainwash their children.

that is, of course, the reason why they are much more controlling over what i do in my life now (my mom even tried having a "bible study" with me).

i told them everything and i was unable to dent their jw imposed mind force field, while also exposing a clear jw misunderstanding of probability, evolution, history, logic/reason, and the big bang theory.. in a conversation i had with my mother a few weeks back (i also heard this rumor before, but my mother told me it again), she mentioned how the un held a summit of all religions and when the jws presented themselves and mentioned their preaching work warning of the coming un ban on religion (referring to an international organization who can't even prevent genocide, much less impose human rights), a un official came up to the jw who presented the cult and told him to "speed up the preaching work", because they plan on doing the ban soon.. it saddens me to think of how ignorant jws are in relation to the principles upon which the un was founded and being unaware that the un at least has some sense as to not ban religion, but this rumor, as ridiculous as it is, needs to be put at rest.

@ Saintbertholdt...
So what bits were left out?

Hi Vidiot,

The bits I omitted from the report are highlighted in yellow below:

From the UN report number: A/HRC/28/66, Entitled: Report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief
Section III: Conclusions and recommendations
A. Recommendations to all relevant stakeholders

86. Government representatives, religious communities, civil society organizations, the media and other relevant stakeholders should reject and speak out promptly, clearly and loudly against any acts of violence committed in the name of religion as well as related incitement...

87. Public condemnations against violence committed in the name of religion should be made on the basis of an adequately complex analysis of the problem, including its underlying systemic root causes.

88. The different stakeholders should jointly contribute to the containment and eventual elimination of violence committed in the name of of religion by making creative use of their space and specific potential. They should also cooperate in neutralizing any possible radicalization efforts that target foreign fighters who returned to their country of origin.

Guardians Of Doctrine (GOD) and the Governing Body

by punkofnice in

i don't know if gb member g jackson really meant the gb were 'god', with his 'guardians of doctrine' comment at the arc.

it's nice and conspiracy to think so, i suppose.

i honestly don't know.

Saintbertholdt

I think the whole thing is the product of their subconscious.

They also might now want to write themselves into the Marvel universe.

The above is an example of how to deliberately misquote and manipulate a UN report to make it look as if the UN hates Religion. No additions, just some word omissions. Now go show it to your mother and make her decade.

Intro and Thoughts

by ThinkerBelle in

jw
friends

i've been lurking on the board for almost a year now and i think i'm ready to come out of hiding (although, i'm so nervous as i type this).

i'm not ready to share everything about my story, but the basics are that i'm a born-in, elder's kid, baptized as a teenager because i was tired of hearing people ask me "all your friends are baptized, when are you going to get baptized?

", married an unbeliever (was df, but came back shortly after) and we have two kids.

Saintbertholdt

Hi there Tinkerbelle,

Glad you've woken up.

Regarding Paranormal experiences. Many factors may contribute to a person experiencing the paranormal:

These include: Suggestibility, priming (cultural and religious background and environment). Then also

Pareidolia - a psychological phenomenon involving a stimulus (an image or a sound) wherein the mind perceives a familiar pattern where none actually exists.

Apophenia - a human tendency of perceiving patterns or connections in random or meaningless information.

Hypnagogia - the experience of the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep. Mental phenomena that occur during this "threshold consciousness" phase include lucid dreaming, hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. Some have experienced a thing called the "Phantom face".

Greetings

United Nations Global Peace And Security Announcement September 2015 / Attack On Christians

by Timothex in

jw
friends

the united nations will shortly announce global peace and security.

this will result in the attack on the true religion [ jehovah's witnesses ] lead by pope francis and intern will bring armageddon / paradise.

please brothers and sisters share this information with everyone!

Saintbertholdt

Wasn't 1986 a whole UN year of peace and security?

Wasn't Armageddon's eminence also imminent back then?

Also "AND INTERN WILL BRING ARMAGEDDON"

I wholeheartedly agree that an intern will probably start Armageddon. They generally have no clue what the hell they're doing and I can imagine that one might mess up at CERN causing a black hole of some sort.

Hebrew Was The First Language

by Bloody Hotdogs! in

according to the newest watchtower:.

jehovah communicated with adam in the garden of eden, using human language.

god likely did so in an ancient form of hebrew.

Saintbertholdt

So during the transition from English to Hebrew after Armageddon the language would therefore logically be Yiddish. A conversation would go something like this:

Sister: Shalom brother Knorst. How's your balabusta and your bubba?

Brother Knorst: Shalom sister Geisel. You know, she's just an old kvetch. Bubba is still a bit loch in kop, but with the Almighty's help she'll be clear as a bell any day now. Heard your shaygets has been appointed to be an ms. Mazel Tov! He should marry a nice shayner... Have you picked a new house yet or are you still looking for one without dead schmucks in it? The goyim really shtunk up the place. Seven years of this... oy!

Sister Geisel: Ja ja, sometimes I think the whole thing is just a shaynem dank dir im pupik situation. But don't tell the PO I said so. He's a real alter kaker sometimes.

Knorst: Oh and a tokhis leker. Always buttering up to the great men of old.... Well I'm off to temple. Shalom aleichem sister.

Geisel : Aleichem shalom brother. (under her breath)...Scmuck!

Knorst: (under his breath)...Gornisht helfn.

Helen Keller is not a hero

by StopTheTears in

jw
friends

few realize just how wicked some of the most revered people in history were.

helen keeler (1880 to 1968) was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no hero.

keller was a communist.

Saintbertholdt

Lords, Ladies, Gentlemen and Comrades,

I am a card carrying member of the ACLU.

The same ACLU that has defended the usage of the confederate flag, the KKK and the tea party's freedom of speech. The same ACLU that has also defended LGBT rights, civil rights, communists and the Jehovah's Witnesses.

I agree that the Libertarian ideal is almost as evil as Helen Keller but nothing comes close to her wickedness. If it wasn't for Keller being blind and deaf she'd probably have completed her mission as the anti-Christ.

I wish I could give you a Christian blessing but the dark lord compels me...

HAIL SATAN!

A Judicial experience.

by John Aquila in

when i was an elder in the 80s, a 16 year old baptized jw girl had confessed that at school during lunch a boy kissed her and touched her privates over her dress.

the circuit overseer was in town and we told him of the situation and he called the society and then told us that mother said we were not allowed to conduct the funeral in the kingdom hall or anywhere else with the threat of removing us and being dealt with judicially if we disobeyed.

the mother who is about 79 years old comes once a year to talk to my mom about the situation.

Saintbertholdt

Hi John,

The young girl and her families story upset me quite a bit.

From this account it is clear how alone and isolated Jehovah's Witnesses who experience trouble actually are and how the organization can rain devastation on an already tragic situation.

My consolation and prediction (circa 2100): No one will attend the Watchtowers funeral. No one will care that it died. Good riddance.
