  JW.org is a DIFFERENT religion from the WT and Kingdomhall

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anybody else noticed the huge 180 degree under the public jw.org vs the material in the study articles?

  other than jw.org showing that shunning of family and those who left the religion does not happen, yet in the kingdomhall and wt is does happen.

  look at jwborgs stance on quitting school and getting higher education.... http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/teenagers/ask/quit-school/ can anybody show one wt that says what is in the borg website?

  They have been pulling this kind of crap for years in the form of the public awake verses the study watchtowers.

  If you only ever read the public awake you could conclude that they are performing a public service.

  Have you had a crisis of concience?

  my little boy has decided he wants to be a vegetarian and has been for over a year now.

  i fully accepted and supported this.. my view however is no matter what you eat or how you eat it ....beings will die for you to eat.. i have noticed where we live we have the terms " free range" and " ecological".

  if affordable i am sure most peoples preferrd option for their own health and the conditions of the animals.. i would say everyone has the right to eat what they want within reason.

  @NEW HOPE AND HAPPINESS -

  That question is a joke from way back, I just assumed everyone would have heard it.

  Sorry for the confusion, I don't really think God made animals out of meat it's just

  my sense of humour.

  "So, how many tracts did you place last month during the campaign???"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as we all know, the org now wants everyone to count the number of flimsy, one page tracts on every monthly report from now on.... so, what is the general buzz around the traps about how many the average witness is reported to have placed?.

  (yes, it is a seriously stupid thing designed to keep the flock busy and also designed to measure their 'spirituality').

  i need to fudge my report, and i havent got the foggiest clue what sort of numbers each witness has on average 'placed'......

  I'm assuming you picked up a few bundles from the hall, so just count them out and toss into trash-simple.

  BTW how did you get away with aux-pio without "placing" any?

  I think as part of the priviledge of being at the top of the food chain we have certain responsibilties

  towards animals and the environment, cruelty free,sustainability blah blah,blah,etc,etc.

  I try to find out as much as is reasonably possible about where the eggs/meat I buy came from,

  how it was farmed etc.

  But if God didn't intend for humans to eat animals why did he make them out of meat?

  That depends on what you used them for:

  toilet paper

  lining the kitty litter tray

  shredded into confetti for use at your exit party

  I am sure you pull some imaginary number from somewhere.

  AMATEURS using BAD METHODS: what possible expertise does the GB possess?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let's start with a very basic common sense question.. if you needed surgery would you go to a graduate of medical school who had been practicing for awhile,.

  or would you go to an amateur who told you god would be telling him how to peform surgery?.

  don't laugh.. it is a serious question!.

  If you say "God is with us" that's all the "qualification" they need.

  Religion closes down the mind, and we all know how the mind is like parachute-

  it only works when it is open.

  Do you like the people in the Bible?

  by Dis-Member in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the society always speaks about all the wonderful people and characters in the bible.. they always too speak of many of them as being so humble, faithful, loyal, diligent, loving, kind, wise, merciful etc, and worthy of imitation.

  also of how god blessed them followed by endless examples and reasons why we today should imitate them.. .

  they also speak of how wonderful it would be to meet some of these people in the future 'new system' and have often depicted scenes where the the survivors of armageddon would be gathered around some ancient resurrected faithful asking them questions and listening to their stories of times past.

  I don't know, I can already envision a study article entitled

  You Must Be Holy, just as the Blue Square is Holy.

  They will probably insert a hypnotist spinning wheel in the middle of it next.
