  Oh Damn...I have been sprung!

  i knew it could happen one day...yet i was so careful..... sitting at the sound cabinet, i had our awesome forum open on my tablet, and didn't see the microphone brother looking over at me...... he wandered over and asked me "whats that site?".

  i quickly responded "oh, i googled to get to our jw.org site, and this must have popped up" while quickly closing it.... he didn't look too fussed, but my heart was beating..... he is pretty chilled out and certainly not an "uber-dub"...but this was a wake up call to be more careful...i am fading fast, but don't want anymore attention from the nazi-elders while doing so!.

  be careful all!

  I googled to get to our jw.org site

  LOL seriously??? Googling to get to the site when all u need to do is to type j-w-.-o-r-g?

  Pretty lame excuse... that brother would be an idiot to really believe that

  But fortunately for you, there are many idiots in the KH who don't think much, so probably you would get away with it. Just be more careful in future! =)

  Was Jesus king before 1914? and something he said you did not expect!

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as jesus was entering the city his followers were declaring him king, luke 19:.

  38 blessed is the king who comes in the name of the lord!

  peace in heaven and glory in the highest!.

  And why does authority have to be GIVEN to Jesus if Jesus is indeed God, as some Bible believers claim?

  Is the Watchtower is blind to Jesus' teachings?

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jesus ate with common sinners declaring that they were in (matt 21:31).. jesus denounced religious leaders declaring that they were out (matt 23 esp v15).. still the watchtower persists in making their own determinations, according to their own rules, who is in and who is out (prov 17:15).

  .

  this is why the apostate watchtower ruling religious clergy class and hierarchy surreptitiously and contemptuously hate and obfuscate the unabridged gospel which teaches that a right and clean standing is imputed on the basis of grace (faith) and not merit (works).. are their similar instances that come to mind for you?.

  The Searcher: In the Gospels, (as well as the rest of the Christian scriptures) forgiveness was to be shown immediately to a repentant person!

  Question: Would you apply this to a pedophile who has molested your child?

  How is Joe Publisher reacting to all the TV coverage on the abuse cases?

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  please pardon if this a repeated topic.

  i have had virtually no contact with any witnesses beside my mother for the past few years.

  she watches tv constantly and claims she has never seen anything on the watchtower abuse cases.

  It hasn't been highlighted in my region at all (Asia). Not even the slightest bit of media coverage. What a shame!!!

  2. experiences

  i was in conversation a few weeks back with a jw i have known for at least four decades.

  most of it was catching up on family stuff, he has loads of kids, some have married and produced sprogs since i left.

  all news to me.. i demolished a couple of his fatuous arguments, and then he decided to scuttle away, throwing this over his shoulder as he went :.

  Were you able to bring up the issue of child abuse? If you did, what did he have to say about it?

  It's obvious that Tony is highly conceited & egoistic from the comment that he made. What kind of person would say such a thing???

  Anyway, one thing is for sure - Tony makes Jehovah look bad!!!
