isnt it interesting that if god needs to warn millions of people that they need to change he talks to like 1 guy and tells this one guy to talk to 1 million people or 7million to talk to 7billion people.

it would obviously be easier faster and far more convincing.. .

yet when alot of people need to die.... he will personal kill each one.

Lol I thought god would be the first to realise this flaw with that super duper brain of his

I seem to recall how in my kh, whenever trying to point out flaws in christendom they'd mention how pointless it was to baptise a baby because they've made no conscious choice blah blah blah.

Now how is sh*t like this any different? Stuff like this is what gets me angry with this religion. Double standards. And they make childhoods all work no play, then they try to convince you that the work is enjoyable and that if you don't enjoy it something is wrong with you and you're gonna end up like the "evil"people you see in the magazines.

How many hours would that boy have spent preparing that bullcrap instead of playing wuth his friends like a normal 3 year old should? Frankly, any time that boy spent was a waste and it's only gonna get worse

i see my wife being pulled into the org a little again, by some good people and kindness.

she grew up a very happy jw, and to leave is very hard for her.

but she has opened the pandoras box of her brain and can't shut it.. we were discussing blood a couple days ago.

I'm guessing penguins were able to fly their way over to the ark and decided that there were enough flying birds in the world already so they'd swim for the rest of their liveS once they returned back to the Antarctic

What was the most rebellious thing you did while you were a devout jw?

i was just thinking about how humans being imperfect and satan's influence was the root of everything bad that anyone has ever done.

well i know that apparently everyone is vulnerable which got me thinking about what "bad" things people have done while they were a jw.

i'll start it off.

What the writer of Revelation intended by his cryptic 666 mark of the beast reference.

by Island Man in

it's amazing how simple the answer is and yet the watchtower organization seems completely oblivious to it.

revelation itself tells you what the number is: "a man's number", "the number of his name".

the writer of revelation spells it out and yet they don't see it!

By saying things like magic are bad, do the WTS imply that it exists?

by DuvanMuvan in

i was wondering why they're so uptight about magical things (cough cough sparlock cough) and was just remembering some quotes in the publications about demons and stuff i saw on another thread and i seriously think that they believe this stuff is real.. once i asked my mum why previously she said not to watch magicians because they're bad blah blah when it wasn't real, hence the term magic trick.

she admitted that while most of them are probably innocent, she still thinks some of them (anyone heard of dynamo?

) have some demonic power behind them.. i seriously wanna hear some other views on this .

lol I wonder why I haven't seen an awake/watchtower on this recently, it's not like it'll make the jws look like a bunch of superstitious idiot's or anything

Just thinking about the magic practising priests in eygpt. How different are they to modern day magicians? (Except for the fact that most people nowadays are smart enough to know that that sh*t is fake) People would only call it "occult" magic if the magician makes it a part of the act. A 5 year old who just got a magic kit for their not-a-birthday-but-we-don't-want-you-to-miss-out-day and Chris Angel or whoever it is could do the exact same trick but one would apparently be demonic and bad.

Side question, do jws believe people can are still being possessed today? If so, what would they do in that situation?

Wait Ameila Ashton there are female anointed ones now?
