A ship (no matter how big) will ultimately sink if it has a hole

by iconoclastic in

humanity is like a ship, and holes are our hobbies (lust, greed etc.

which are fondly renamed as each one likes) which always have been outperforming what science could accomplish!

most of the greater or significant scientific achievements started from 19th centurymay be with the commercial transmission of electricity!

Look at the way the Titanic film was made, it is the reproduction of a great maritime disaster that happened in 20th C, yet its producers included a love-making scene which exposes the lust... Entertainment industry thrives on filling the movies with lust, greed and violence, which people copy later in their lives. Some of the high profile terrorist attack had its precedence in movies.

Hysterically tragic - the west stuffs up in Syria

by fulltimestudent in

friends

a former lebanese (christian) terrorist once told me a story (meant to be funny) about west asian politics.. a turtle was swimming past the shoreline of the red sea.

on the shore a scorpion calls out,"hey!

give me a lift over to the other side.

Saintbertholdt

The Turtle story is very very old.

Its actually from the Greek story teller Aesop.

Originally it was a frog and a scorpion.

The line: "The Scorpion replies, "Why? I stung you because this is the middle east, and that's what we do.",

is where creative license was taken. In the original the Scorpion replies, "It's in my nature."

Revelation 8:8 Is a comet / asteroid heading here soon?

by FuzzyPaul in

i have read a lot and watched some you-tube videos (some by marginally lunatic fringe christians - not necessarily invalidating) searching for asteroid september 2015 or comet september 2015.. there is some biblical evidence that, if one doesn't spiritualize / make literally invalid by symbolic exercise, that at the time of the end of the age there will be a uniquely severe, single great earthquake (isaiah 29:6, zecharia 4:7, haggia 2:6, revelation 6:12, revelation 16:18) and destructive objects described as hail, mountains falling from the sky, stars falling onto earth.

i note that ancients would not recognize the vastness of outer space and meteroids, asteroids, comets, planets being what we know them as.. there is also the exact symbol of "then the second angel blew his trumpet, and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea.

one-third of the water in the sea became blood, one-third of all things living in the sea died, and one-third of all the ships on the sea were destroyed.

So what happens when October 2015 arrives without incident?

Do you just adjust your date like the Watchtower corporation?

Angola BANS ISLAM and MUSLIMS. Calls it a sect.

by PaintedToeNail in

friends

angola has banned islam and closed the mosques, saying that it is a sect and counter to the culture of the country.. http://www.worldbulletin.net/headlines/163865/angola-bans-islam-shuts-down-mosques .

Saintbertholdt

Angola has about 90 000 Muslims.

After this lets say about 10% will be upset that they can't go to Friday prayer at the local mosque. That's about 9000 Muslims.

About 10% of the above number are so angry they'd be willing to commit an act of violence. That's 900 Muslims.

Of those 10% would be willing to commit an act of terror. 90 Muslims.

Of those 10% would be willing to commit a suicide attack. That's 9 Muslims.

Congratulations Angola. You've just created a new insurgency.

And you were recovering so well.

JW logo and symbolism

by Illuminated in

there's a recent thread regarding the jw indoctrination expressed on the net, particularly instagram.

from an outsider looking in, i noticed this when looking through jw instagram profiles.

it came off super cult-ish and robotic along with similar wording used as though everyone, male or female, is a stepford wife (watch the movie for those who haven't seen it).

"I'm blue, daba-dee-daba-die, ba- daba-dee-daba-die...'

Thanks. Now I can't get that damn song out of my head.

four jehovah's witnesses face death penalty - victim of pakistan's blasphemy law.. http://www.charismanews.com/world/44004-popular-tv-show-the-latest-victim-of-pakistan-s-blasphemy-law.

world watch monitor film actress veena malik and her husband, assad khattak khan, were charged with blasphemy after a re-enactment of their wedding appeared on "utho jago pakistan.

Saintbertholdt

This is a travesty.

Muslims get frustrated because their 'superior' theocratic Sharia law has not produced a superior culture. All that it has resulted in is the dampening of their own creative spirit.

Democracy will always be more developed in all facets of life compared to any form of tyranny. It is therefore imperative to guard not only the democratic political process, but also its pinnacle: FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

OSCE (The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe

i have noticed that the jws are participating in meetings organized by the osce.

they are registered or participate under the "european association of jehovah's christian witnesses".

one point highlighted in this organization is tolerance.

Saintbertholdt

Amazing.

The OSCE is primarily a political organization and tries to exercise democratic change through political influence.

So once again the Watchtower corporation is is not trying to legally establish the good news as they claim but is trying to politically establish the good news through their participation and co-operation with the OSCE.

The bitch is screwing around again and hubby must be pissed.

i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.

you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!

what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.

Saintbertholdt

I Love it Mr Stumpy,

I appreciate the fact that the documents are scans of the original articles and you even highlight the juicy bits (I checked when I downloaded the 1960s pdf).

Thank you very much.
