  Ecclesiasticus

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  thought this quote (ecclesiasticus 37:14) from another thread deserved it's own.. finally, stick to the advice your own heart gives you,.

  no one can be truer to you than that;.

  since a person's soul often gives a clearer warning.

  Seven watchmen perched on a watchtower

  Above the stupid sheep they hover

  One was Lösch, who always looked lost

  Another was Herd, who was rude & curt

  Yet another was Splane, who was quite insane

  But he was no match for Lett, who by his facial expressions revealed he was mad!

  Then there was Jackson, all talk but no action

  The youngest was Sanderson, who had neither wife nor son

  The most famous was Anthony Morris the Turd

  He hated tight pants so much it was absurd!

  Satan a Murderer?

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so took the wives car instead of mine in today, the watchtower was playing, i got to hear t.morris life story as narrated by him, but that is another story entirely... long story short, the study article it went into was about satan.

  first of all the person reading sounded like the epitome of a brainwashed drone.

  second this is why meeting and hearing these things make me more of an unbeliever than any exjw website.

  God created Satan

  Satan misled Adam & Eve

  God chose to kill Adam & Eve instead of forgiving them

  Who's the murderer?

  The witnesses got away with covering up another molestation case

  2. child-abuse

  http://www.webpronews.com/jehovahs-witnesses-get-only-partial-dismissal-in-child-molesting-case-2015-04.

  i find it extremely interesting the comment of one of the posters who is studying with the witnesses.. frank j karasienski 3 days ago .

  individuals are flawed..... looking at this article it really makes it look like an organization is hiding the situation.

  Yes, I am studying to be a witness, but at the same time I am allowed by the faith to have my own opinions.

  LOL... bullshit... he is allowed to express his own opinions as a study, but he will definitely need to conform eventually in order to progress to baptism. Critical thinking & disagreeing with the org after baptism would lead to him being disfellowshipped & shunned. Would love to see the look on his face when that happens!

  21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.

  of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.

  i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.

  Abusive speech, blind accusations, jumping to conclusions, wishing misfortune upon others...

  No better than a JW!
