    keyser,

    There you go using logic again....

    at no cost to the brothers of course.

    I can remember hearing those from the platform, and I haven't been in a hall in close to a decade. Funny how I really bought that bs when I was a jw. Instead of Santa and the Easter Bunny, I had Jehovah and the WTB&TS.

    I'd take Santa anyday. At least by the time you're in school, he's not real anymore. And Santa never threatened to kill anyone for not being good.

    I can only think of the extensive lists of experiences that show the absolute opposite of this bilge.

    I've heard all these before, too. Even as a JW I found some of them hard to believe.

    I heard many of these same lies. Why are they still spamming people with the same lies that were around more than 20 years ago? And, I wonder if the same storm that blew down the tree or the sand could later come in and blow down the Kingdumb Hell.

    As for the bomb, suppose a bomb was planted in our Kingdumb Hell or a plane is flown into it. The blast kills one witless, but miraculousy most are saved from dying. Wouldn't most of them sustain at least some injury, perhaps burns or physical injury from flying objects nearby? Only those who missed that boasting session would escape any injury from that blast--hardly punishment for slacking. The ones that are really slacking are probably skipping that boasting session.

    Yes, I will take Santa any day. At least I know he is not real (just a story that is fun to tell around Christmas time). And, getting a lump of coal in your stocking is better than dying a violent death--besides, since when does Santa keep inflating the standards and telling children that they are not "good enough" to get anything but coal?

    The reasons I never believed this crap.

    No way to prove it.

    The stories are similiar to other religious stories.

    I heard these stories when I was kid just variations, so they are at least 50 years old, and I thought it was bull then.

    Even if they were true, the odds are that something good could happen.

    If they were true the society would fall over theirselves to prove it.

    The one about the hall and the mall is just stupid, what so called wordly person knows about a

    kingdom hall being a hall.

    I saw too many jws dying from old age, car wreaks, sickness, etc. Why would these things happen

    to only a few.

    How about the people who dropped dead right in the hall.

    The sad thing is that most jws believe this stuff. Most jws do not have any reasoning power. If something

    just doesn't make sense it probably isn't true. But I know we aren't suprised at this because they believe

    all the other crap the society puts out which puts these stories to shame.

    An example of gullibility, a very nice young sister has twins, they lived in a two story house , one of the

    twins fell out of the second story window and was completly unharmed. She reasoned that the angels

    had saved him and no one ever corrected here if fact most agreed with her This woman had been in the organization all her life , very staunch witness family, the

    type that make you ill. Pioneered , they whole pile of crap, but yet she believed this. It just verified

    to me that this religion was bull.

    come on guys, you are just too skeptical. i mean, stuff like this happens to me every day. just the other day, i was making a sandwhich, and it was a nice one, ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoe, and then i realized that i had no mayo. i cant eat a sandwhich without mayo. i looked and looked inside the frig and couldnt find any. then i noticed there was a new jar in my cabinet. now clearly this was a blessing from Jehovah. I mean how else could you explain this?

    joking aside, probably the funniest one of this type of stuff i ever heard was a sister straight told my friend that she was running late to the meeting, but caught all green lights while driving to the meeting and made it just in time, and that was all Jehovahs doing. classic, lol
