  Let's All Volunteer for the Warwick Project!!!

  by pronomono in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok, not really.. but the rbc is spamming my email trying to get my volunteer information.

  it all seems kind of hokey.

  it comes from some unofficial gmail account that i've never seen and telling me to go to a generic form website to enter in my personal information.

  leaving_quietly: They are desperate for workers at Warwick, it seems. They've gone to great lengths to get people to go help. ... their letters and now this survey certainly makes one wonder if all is not as it seems.

  For example, who of you that wants to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense manpower, to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, he might lay its foundation but not be able to finish it, and all the onlookers might start to ridicule him...

  Ridicule? Not US!!!!

  This weeks #2 & #3 talk on homosexuality

  after a one year sucessful fade and no longer associated with any congreation, i was visiting my sister this week (who goes to the meeting to please her husband for now; i am slowly planting seeds though) and they decided to year this weeks midweek meeting via the telephone.

  since i was a guest in her house, i sat with them in the living room to hear the meeting.

  to my surprise (especially growing up as a gay jw with still alot of anger in my heart over how i was treated), the talks 2 and 3 where on, of course, homosexualiy.

  Island Man, you're a pig!

  Actually, the custom of the time was for each wife to have her own room (of sorts), her own bed, and the husband would go to HER bed.

  Ahh, that brings back good memories.....

  Never enough spit and venom for the GOD HATES FAGS sessions offered up at the Kingdom Hall. I think they got even more creative at assemblies just to let you know they mean business.

  I've been invited to attend a Southern Baptist church with some lovely friends I've made since leaving the JW cult and I tell them unequivocally, "I will not listen to another preacher tell me God disapproves of me by virtue of my existence." They just look away because they know their church is exactly the same way.

  Catholic Church Changing its Mind on Gay People

  miracles still happen, eh?.

  centuries of misrepresentation and persecution of gay people may be about to end, as far as the catholic church is concerned.. more than 200 bishops have been taking part in the synod since 5 october.

  it was convened by pope francis to debate abortion, contraception, homosexuality and divorce.. monday's report, issued half-way through the two-week meeting, said:.

  None of it matters, though. It's too late.

  Will JW rape victims die at Armageddon as apostates?

  by Zoos in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  many jw victims flee the "truth" after elders have raped them and covered it up.

  doctrines aside, there would be no reason for one of these young victims to conclude the watchtower environment is god's arrangement on earth.. does the organization acknowledge this irreparable damage or will it write these victims off as apostates, slated for death at armageddon if they choose to get the hell out?.

  The Searcher: How can such ones look at themselves in the mirror and not see that they are trampling on Christ, not representing him!

  If Gillies has any decency in him he will eventually join us - whatever his tipping point may be. If he does not, then how he looks at himself in the mirror is for Jesus to worry about.

  Also, as Spock said in a relatively recent Star Trek film, "Why does God need a space/star ship?"

  Ahem! It was Kirk.

  Forgive my ignorance. Is that still a functioning farm?

  I thought the WT shut down it's farming venture. If so, the WT still has to maintain the land to some extent until it sells. Road fronts, buildings, etc... That's a bit of a bleed for 500 acres.

  Oh wiat! I forgot. FREE LABOR.

  CREEPY IS YET TO COME.

  I predict soon one of the governing body members will bring his wife on set where she will just cry and cry and her eye makeup will run down her face and people will send lots of money to help develop Watchtower real estate in poor African villages.
