Wow...I wonder if they will show the fact that LOT selfishly chose to move his family to the city. His wife just had to do what her head told her to do, then she gets killed for making a home out of her circumstances??

Then Lot keeps his family living in a depraved city?

Then as a "righteous man" offers his daughters to be pack raped??

Then commits incest with his two daughters, and fathers children from them???

WOW!

No wonder Lot's wife was ready to die! She3 wanted to escape from an abusive, selfish, degraded child abuser!

Wonder if that principle will make it into the video series??

Fixe os olhos no premio = Keep your eyes on the prize

by oppostate in

"fixe os olhos no premio" = "keep your eyes on the prize".

large screen tv in the background.. reading the bible from a mobile phone.. hand in pocket.. shoes unshined.. pants unhemmed and way too long.. "ontem foi minha primeira parte pela organizacao de jeova" =.

"yesterday was my first part for jehovah's organization".

What would happen in the resurrection

by Anony Mous in

we all know the jw doctrine of life and resurrection on earth after armageddon.

this video inadvertently explores the flaws in the doctrine.

Trying to rationalise and make sense of WT / GB teachings is mind-numbing....

Lot's Wife - Connect the dots - JW.org

by Funchback in

yay!

now kids can help draw lot's wife getting destroyed.. .

stuckinarut2

As others have said, the GB carefully ignore the REST of the Lot story! (offering his daughters to be pack raped, then the incest with his daughters)

Oh, I know another "wholesome" dot-to-dot picture kiddies can draw: The account of the woman who was raped and cut up into pieces and sent all over the nation!? (Judges 19:29)

Counting Field Service Time

by Sour Grapes in

something that always drove me crazy was when the jw's would say after the meeting on sunday, "i have to go out this afternoon to get my time in.

" in the car group after service someone would always ask, "so how much time did we get?".

it the watchtower company said that turning in time is no longer required because jehovah knows what we are doing to serve him, there would be a tremendous drop in the door to door activity and the coffee cart work.

Witnesses (especially pioneers) are like cats : Its all about "Me - hours"

Get it?

Sanderson's hate speech

by Listener in

gb member sanderson has given a hate speech in response to the recent russian ban.

it was given as a morning worship rant.

sanderson sports his usual smirk.. he opens up quoting matthew 10:22, 23 about persecution.

The GB are revelling in "poking the bees nest" with this whole issue and their reactions!

Then , when they get stung, they will cry out in pain and complain about "the nasty bees"

Seriously, it is perverted stuff!

They Can't Admit They're Wrong ...

by compound complex in

as 1975 approached, we began to hear the preliminary murmurs of denial from the society rather than any honest admissions or apologies for their dreadful mistake.

finally, i remember sitting at the watchtower study one sunday listening to the brothers and sisters parroting the information from the study article and innocently taking all of the blame for misinterpreting what the society had said about 1975. it was the first of several occasions when i longed to jump up from my seat, run to the podium, and argue for the apparently forgotten truth.

instead, i sat there and thought how much the society was like the scribes and pharisees in jesus dayburdening the people with heavy loads that they were not willing to budge with their finger (matthew 23:4).

Great bump of this thread !

Yes, the level of arrogance the GB have in trying to re-write history is mind blowing!

"would you drink a glass of water if it had just a tiny bit of poison in it?"

by stuckinarut2 in

no doubt we have all heard that well used "illustration" in public talks etc over the years:.

"if you were handed a glass of water that looked pure, but were told it has just a tiny drop of poison in it, would you drink it?".

the society has used that illustration at length to say we should avoid all influences of every part of the world.. but, as we know, the society has had a track record of errors, false ideas and doctrines.

stuckinarut2

Prompted by the upcoming 2017 convention video that tries to deny the 1975 fiasco, I have bumped this thread.

The way the society is trying to re-write history is appalling and manipulative!

A drop of poison indeed!
