We deserve to die

by elfgoblin in

at the meeting today, we were reading the watchtower and this elder apologetically said to such a degree in regards to romans 5:12 that "we humans are not worthy of any mercy from jehovah.

we shouldn't even have free will because we can't possibly do anything good enough to please jehovah.

we don't even deserve life because of sin.

This one, as many a WT study, is the 'rectum derived' interpretation many of us turn a deaf ear regularly. Look around the KH when this info is being read or dissected from the platform, don't many seem as if they really do not give a flying f*** about it.

I've seen a few, younger crowd, as I do often, just looking up other stuff on my tablet while the meeting is going on.

Oh, the Org is in serious trouble! They should've never introduced that ridiculous 'overlapping generation' crap. The intelligent caught a whiff of their deceit since then.

84 Lumber Commercial

just saw this commercial and was very impressed.

hoping more companies start doing the same.

most of us are immigrants.

Doubtfully Yours

I see all those type of commercials as educational, really, in hope these overall Trump minorities will be brought if only briefly out of their hateful bubble and help them realize the true fabric of this great Nation.

We're all immigrants and the latest arrivals, just like the earlier ones, are here to stay. Love it!!!

JW Convention 2017

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

Doubtfully Yours

The Org is hemorrhaging uncontrollably for the past decade. Even internally, there are so many of us, the Awakened Class, that are up to their 'rectum derived' dogma and no longer play along their expectations.

They've noticed this and are trying it all in order to realign the ship. No success thus far.

This coming RC screams of total desperation.

Witnesses really hate it when you appear to leave.

by schnell in

i have a certain customer, whom we will call sally.

i know sally only by face and only through work.

i am a truck driver on a local dedicated route, and i often deliver to her work.

You know when they really rejoice? When someone leaves, or when someone picks a non-believer for marriage, and then they do horribly.

There are these beautiful couple of young sisters that went outside the JWs to pick their men. One of them to this day continues to get beatings by her husband, she seems so unhappy and trapped by this bully, and the other one got beatings and also the bum ended up leaving her and the small kids for another woman.

Oh, there were some JWs that just enjoyed their misery and use them as an example for other young ones not to go outside the religion or that will happen.

Too bad so many leave and then give credence to the saying "throwing the baby out with the bath water".😕

Schnell,

The 'Awakened' class loves it when others are able to break free and we wish them well.

What's preventing YOU from stopping meeting attendance?

by nicolaou in

we all 'exit' in our own way and at our own pace but i'm curious, why carry on stuffing yourself into that stiff suit and tie or meeting dress years after you realised the truth about 'the truth'?.

they kept you a prisoner, what's stopping you from leaving now that you have the key to your own cell?.

loved ones?

Doubtfully Yours

Love for my husband, relatives, and caring sincerely for many others that have been part of my life for as long as I can remember and who happen to be very lovely people regardless of the WTBTS bs.

Very powerful reasons in my particular case.

Is it possible to decline preaching in the carts?

by Skepsis in

jw
friends

hi folks,.

i have a difficult dilemma.

since i'm not pioneering any more, i'm reducing my hours wasted at that artifact known as cart or trolley.

Doubtfully Yours

I declined when asked by elders many months ago. Have not been asked again.

It all depends on what kind of a 'body of elders' is in your cong. Some could be real jerks when you turn down "privileges".

Good luck!🙄

Shunning and apostacy

by biblexaminer in

hey folks.

i have been looking for the latest on shunning of those who have drifted.

i recall the 2016 convention had a part, and i believe there was a video.

Doubtfully Yours

Hey, look who's back!

Hi y'all!!!

The Spanish side of the JWs is soooo different. Parents I know most definitely do NOT shun their children, and we continue to associate and be very cordial to the people that fade.

With the proliferation of the internet, it's so hard for his religious outfit to control the people fully. We may be in total agreement while at the kh, but we can now clearly see through the bull shit.

The 'Awakened' class is growing inevitably inside the Org. Love it!!!

Think for Yourself: Reform Judaism Uses JW Blood Issue For Shavuot

by David_Jay in

as the jewish holy day of shavuot (pentecost) begins this weekend, the reform judaism site publishes an interesting article entitled "judaism teaches: question authority, think for yourself.".

the article employs a jewish doctor's recollection of a jw patient who refused blood and died as an example of how both religious traditions greatly differ on how they see and apply god's law.. shavuot is the day jews recall god's giving the law to israel.

the article is significant in that it demonstrates how jews see the giving of the law as a call to questioning authority, including divine revelation itself whereas the death of the jw patient is contrasted as a slavish interpretation that misses the point behind jewish scripture.. for more see the article at:.

At the site TYT, under 'uploads', there is an interesting piece on why the gay men ban on blood donations.

Read it and weep as I rejoice on what people who will not accept nor give blood will never have to worry about regarding blood testing to see if it is safe to be transfused.

Not 100% bad, huh?!

Islam is a religion of peace (2)

by Coded Logic in

in behalf of the horrific events of saturday night, i just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that islam is a religion of peace.

it doesn’t matter that the quran explicitly says that homosexuals should be stoned to death (7:84) - it’s still a religion of peace.

and it doesn’t matter that the scriptures say that all gay men should be killed (sunan 1:152) - islam doesn’t in anyway condone violence.. it doesn’t matter that every mainstream imam calls homosexuality a sin "worse the adultery" - it’s not a religion of bigotry.. it doesn’t matter that 61% of muslims in the uk think gay acts should be made illegal - islam has nothing against the gay community.. it doesn’t matter that countries with sharia law actively persecute the lgbt community - islam is all about peace and love.

Is Christianity a religion of peace?

Do the actions of this self-described Christian nation here and abroad indicate this?🤔
