  WWI and Beer

  by Farkel in

  2. friends

  in april, 1917 the united states declared war on germany.

  the german u-boats had sunk a bunch of american ships and the war declaration was justified, even though woodrow wilson was basically, a total asshole.. anti-german frenzy hit the american shores.

  sauerkraut was renamed "freedom cabbage" and dachshunds were stoned to death.

  Do You Honestly Believe ANY Politician Will Make YOUR Life That Much Better?

  by minimus in

  i have to believe that in this day and age, they all suck.. and in the thousands of years of politics, i don't think there's any person or party that made life all that much better.

  (except maybe during fdr's reign)....but i'm not sure if all those programs that were instituted didn't produce the mess we're in now..

  No - here is why. Take Obama - elected on Change we can believe in. No matter how sincere and sensible the policies -it requires CONGRESS to get its act together. So no ONE person can - it needs great minds to come together and do what is right for the majority.

  Funny story by an ex-missionary/ ex CO mentioned in COC…

  by Alfred in

  2. experiences

  so a few months ago, i had dinner with an ex-missionary/ex-co (mentioned in coc and pentons apocalypse delayed) and he had some really interesting and funny anecdotes about his time in brooklyn bethel and spain.

  (i will ask him permission to reveal his name at a later time) but i just wanted to share one particular story that really made me laugh as it shows how ridiculous elders can behave after theyve been thoroughly dumbed down by the wt leadership.

  he explained that while he was serving in spain, a trivial matter came up in one of his visits to a congo in barcelona sometime in the late 70s.

  Yes and no. I just got to a stage where I did not care. Then I got woried about not being able to attend my childrens weddings etc. Then I got to meet some people and talk to some on here and quite frankly, I trust the people on this site more than I trust JWs at the hall - sad but true.

  Popularity Contest

  by Voices in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  everywhere i've gone, no matter what, there's always a 'popularity contest' (which i'm a loser to)... whether it was in the organization (based on how high you went up the chain of command or who you married for the sisters), the school system such as high school, college, etc.. or job.

  who does the hardest work, who does what, when how.

  even on this website.

  the watchtower september 1, 2010 11. .

  the dangers of being deceived (page 10/11).

  to deceive, says one dictionary, means to cause to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid.

  The new writing department of the WTBTS

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a new writing department in wt land.. us.. think about it, the watchtower/jehovah's witnesses are a reactive 'religion', not a proactive one.. that means of course that they react and modify doctrine, rules and direction in response to what ever may be effecting them.

  probably the last time they were proactive was the 40s and 50s but these days its all about preservation rather than growth.. i am sure that the actual writing department have eyes and ears out in 'aposta land'.

  after all, who discuss and disect the books, magazines and letters more than we do?

  I have said it before and I will say it again. The invention of the printing press led to the Reformation and the weakening of the Roman Catholic Church in the Middle ages.

  The internet is an invention as big as the printing press and has/will lead to the weakening of the WTBTS command structure.

  The WT publications in the last few years have all seemed more reasonable on the subject with actual references. They knock YECs etc and also atheists. The trend is for a lot more illustrations in the publications. I am still a believer in God - but I can see many scientific principles at work and can not ignore mountains of fossil evidence which grows year by year.
