  i was traveling and used my credit card to buy a gift at the airport.. so the lady behind the counter flips my credit card over to look at the signature and it says "see i.d.

  " where my signature belonged.

  she asked for the i.d.. .

  GB Stridency: Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink Doesn't Work Anymore

  by metatron in

  currently, it often seems like everything that comes from the glorious masters of time and space (aka 'the governing body that couldn't shoot straight') sounds like it would be printed in capital letters if it was part of an email (very annoying).. which tells you that:.

  the old 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink' style of watchtower command and control ain't working anymore.

  wha' happened?

  Well, the current system of mind numbing, boring, meetings encourages Witnesses to drift off into reverie or fantasy (or porn images, hey, Satan won't let me stop thinking about that stuff) and they just shut off, mentally-speaking.

  Hey metatron - stop talking about me. Congratulations on an excellent 6000th post.

  Watchtower Theology is based on inauthentic foundation: proof texts

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watchtower theology is propped up by proof texts.. if the texts are inspired, the watchtower claims it is empowered to reveal the meaning.. but--consider how flimsy, inauthentic and unprovable the foundation of this teaching really is.. .

  consider the difference (if any) in meaning between these two renderings.. .

  1.all scripture is inspired by god and useful for teaching, reproving and setting things straight.. .

  I don't believe the Bible is Inspired of god - Why do you / don't you?

  by cantleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many of you may know that i was brought up a witness and stayed in until the age of 42, even reaching the dizzy heights of being a congregation elder.

  i was unusual in that, even as a witness i studied to degree level, on a part time basis, sponsored by my employer.

  my first was in chemistry and my masters is in business administration.

  If it was inspired of God, it would be Crytsal Clear.

  Thou shalt not

  thou shalt

  It would not be open to interpretation by man.

  ah, deception must be so-o-o-o-o-o- easy when you can deal with people who have no critical thinking skills.. an amazing example?

  the past november awake magazine !

  the cover asks, "is belief in a creator reasonable?".

  And that of course is why college is so frowned upon.

  It is not the fact that at college you may have sex.

  It is not the fact that you could be regular pioneering instead of being in college.

  It is because college teaches you CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS -and that is a no-no for the WTBTS
