  Why hasn’t someone gotten real pissed off yet?

  by John Aquila in

  2. scandals

  i keep reading of some guy who is so upset at someone that he goes into a theater and shoots 20 people..

  or a kid that is so mad that the other kids made fun of him that he goes to school and shoots a bunch of kids..

  or some guy that was fired from his job and he goes back and shoots of bunch of his workers.

  Sadly, some people's hatred for the borg turns inward resulting in depression, low self-esteem, social isolation and anxiety.

  DOES BELIEF IN THE BIBLE DESTROY ONE'S INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on information to be found at: http://www.csicop.org/si/show/when_dont_the_highly_educated_believe_in_evolution_the_bible_believers_effe/.

  the bible-believers effect.

  those who believe the bible is the word of god (bible believers) and those who dont believe the bible is the word of god (bible nonbelievers) differ in their beliefs that humans evolved from earlier species of animals.

  Destroy? I would like to think of it like an addiction and like any addiction it probably disables thinking ability for a while but rehabilitation is possible.

  Distructive Narcissistic Leadership and The Governing Body

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/narcissistic_leadership.

  narcissistic leadership is a leadership style in which the leader is only interested in him/herself.

  their priority is themselves - at the expense of their people/group members.

  i am currently having to spend a little time waiting for an appointment in the vicinity of a central london station.

  whilst waiting i am catching up on some work in a cafe.

  i can see a couple of trolleys and have been watching them for around an hour now.. not one person has stopped to take literature.

  Don't the instructions for cart use state they have to wait for someone to approach them?

  Then they direct them to the web site.

  Easy-peasy-pioneasy!

  So much "growth"! JW Land double sided coin

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm finding it more and more funny how every wt article for the public or congregation, including jw broadcast talks about all this "growth" and how fast jehovha's organization is speeding up!

  yet everything behind closed doors, insider information, elder letters and sales paint a very different picture.

  i have news for you gb members!

  I imagine anything used for reading could be called a "literacy aid."

  And they do offer free home lessons in the form of a bible "study."

  How dishonest was the Apostle Paul?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  may be some of you will be shocked by this question.

  however, when i was studying the bible with critical eyes i detected that paul ( or saul of tarsus) misquoted the hebrew bible in order to get false support for his arguments.

  of course, this tricky kind of use of the "scriptures" was not only used by him, but others, like the author of the gospel of matthew got unsupported doctrines misquoting verses.

  OUTLAW - ah yes, I remember the account well.

  It was a Donut Shoppe in Corinth I believe and he stated "he really hates Corinth."
