Brilliant replies!
I also respect the right of others to play devils advocate and refute my rambling thoughts. Thank you drearyweather.
many people like to boast about “jehovah being loving and impartial toward all”.
there are even scriptures that say words to that effect.. however, if we look at just his actual conduct and actions , and not accept the words supposedly written by his apologetic “bible writers”, the facts tell us something else!.
firstly, he chose one special nation and race of people.

just had to share... a former friend of my wife's, has just left our house, unbeknown to us, her and her husband have been inactive for about a year and a half, they have pre teen boys too.
she reached out to my wife as she had heard that we were apostates etc and needed someone to talk to.. .
after her father dying she was in a bad place mentally and emotionally and reached out to her cong for support, apon receiving 0 she turned to the bible for comfort only in her raw emotional state to realize that jehovah was a murderous unfair god and then her wheels of rational reasoning started turning.. she questioned things and was outspoken about things and attracted elder attention... long story short she wanted to connect with a friendly ear and she splurged she's never going back, the bible is all bulls**t and it's a cult, despite not knowing most of ttatt we all shared experiences and watched her eyes boggle at (stuckinarut... the first euphoric high) the un scandal, beth sarim, ray franz, 607, arc.
What a "happifying" experience!
Surely, Jehovah must be speeding up the Good News of TTATT in these last days!
so, i have a guy that is emailing me after listening to my podcast series "this jw life" about my life story before, during, and after being a jw.
this guy happens to be an elder and pioneer serving where the need is greater.
i love this guy.
Agreed Doubtfull1799!
Great post Dubstepped! Thanks for sharing.

Firstly, he chose one special nation and race of people. He made it clear that they were unique, valuable and precious to him. He demanded that no foreigner be able to freely mix without them renouncing their heritage and culture.
He then went to great lengths to make his people feel entitled and superior to all other races and nationalities. Their laws and culture made it clear they were of a higher standing.
To reinforce this, massive genocidal wars were committed and celebrated- with the aim of ridding the world of those “awful” foreigners! It wasn’t a campaign to settle a difference, it was a campaign to wipe out their very being, genetic lineage and even the memory of them!
Fast forward to modern days:
If Jehovah’s Witnesses are the true religion of Jehovah, he obviously still dislikes many ethnic groups. This is evident by the fact that “the truth” has not been preached in many densely populated continents . Eg China, Africa etc. So they are not as worthy of life?
Clearly God loves white Anglo Saxon people or people in first world lands.
No point quoting scriptures to disprove this. After all, one’s works demonstrate their feelings....
Loving indeed! Ha!
i know we have all said it before, but it simply blows my mind that the jws doing cart work do not have bibles on the cart to give out to interested ones!.
how can they say they are "bible students" trying to share the "bibles message" and not give out bibles!?.
other christian groups take the commission to share the bible seriously!
I know punky ...I know....
But it really dilutes their claims about wanting to "share Gods word" when they are more concerned with $ rather than people's lives....
(now I know the bible is nothing except a collection of ancient ramblings, but JWs make it out to be THE ONLY WAY to draw close to God and survive...)
Its almost as if jws have the special relationship with god and do not want to share!

Other Christian groups take the commission to share the bible seriously! They invest huge sums of money to give out "gods word"
If the "word of God" is life saving and so vital, it should be a priority to get as many as possible into peoples hands!
But here we have the so called "one true faith- Jehovah's Witnesses" without bibles on the carts!
If that doesn't scream "CULT" then nothing does....
i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.
the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.
when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.
In my part of the world, they set up the literature cart under a tree, along a fairly deserted cycling track near a river.
Literally very few people walk past!
It is THE most pathetic thing to observe, as two jws sit in fold up chairs in a lonely spot in the middle of nowhere, with just a few ducks to look at and talk to....
Still it's better than the spot they used to use: two middle aged brothers in large overcoats would sit near the netball courts while teenage girls in short skirts ran around playing sport! Now THAT looked really creepy!

Duuuuuude! Wow! How did you stomach sitting through all of that?
I feel smothered just reading your review! I feel like I was there.
It really seems like "wash rinse repeat"....
going through a box of old records in my garage i came across this 45 by the great crowd.
it was given to me in the early 70's when i was living in crestline, ca.
i had no way of playing it because i haven't had a turntable in years so i googled it and found this link.
So maybe THIS track can be used by jwbroadcasting one month?
I mean, they have just used a "Barry White" esq sexy times track in the april broadcast! Now they can use this rip-off of "hair" ballad tracks!? or more like "age of Aquarius / let the sun shine in"!?
