From reddit...How old were you when you became a publisher?

by Biahi in

i was six, not given any choice.

i remember being in the old kh, and my dad told me the brothers wanted to talk to me in the back...i was terrified.

i actually thought they knew i didn’t want to be a dub, my dad told them to just add me as a publisher, so no back room meeting.

I was 9. My first bible reading was Mark 1: 1-15 which i practiced so much even today I can quote it word per word sadly.

Watchtower Sues to Keep Convention Videos Off Internet

by Sea Breeze in

https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2020/07/20/mormonleaks-founders-pay/?fbclid=iwar31g8tcjkq3dtzxjx6mhinhqnk6fequaiwu_278zkhia6vmbyb6ha_jz28.

so i guess the wt holds free public gatherings, but will sue anyone who publishes a video of the free speeches?

what happened to advertise, advertise advertise the king and his kingdom?

Letme just say ANYTHING I WRITE IS COPYRIGHT FREE! I beleive copyright goes a step to far. Yes we need to patent invetions songs, ideas, books etc. but if we all sat at home twiddling thumbs no one would improve anything!

Yes patent the original but F*** copyright let the next generation improve. (You are still regestered as the original :))

Now as for the topic of videos of conventions. this is a public venue where people are invited (not this year)so anyone can record. BTW the WT cannot tell a person when or when not to record in most developed conties.

Galaxies and 49000 years

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

now today this is of course a non-issue.

the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.

in fact the creator book has some decent info.. however i have a good copy of the 1958 paradise book.

Now today this is of course a non-issue. The WT has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution. In fact the Creator book has some decent info.

However I have a good copy of the 1958 Paradise book. It states every day of genesis was 7000 years long.

Now using this info was fine from russel up to about 1930s.

See a guy named Hubble....

Let's get to the issue. Pre- 1940 or so one could twist the age of the earth and universe to be 49000 years old.But once Andromada was found to be over 2 million lights years away and then other glaxies were discovered.. and also that it was expanding!

Well the Paradise book in 1958 must have been a joke! This galaxy itself is over 100000 light years across! (Which they stated in the Creation book in 1985)

See if I was a learned man in 1958 and say this paradise book i would throw it in the garbage.

The society hasn't addressed yet why supposivly this bluddering fool Jeblooper is ACCELERATING the expansion of the universe by dark enegergy but given their track record this sould make it into magazines in 2030s. (Though I doubt the WT will be around much then.

Quit Quietly now more than ever

by gone for good in

the amazing exoneration of info sekta in swiss court has finally reinforced the proper way to exit an abusive cult.. never write a letter of disassociation.

- no need to invoke shepherding or judicial action from elders.

make a written, dated statement of your free-will choice to have abandoned the jw religion - secure this document with a friend -a trusted friend (not the jw kind).

HowTheBibleWasCreated

This is almost irrelivant though I did make a small notepad document out I may print and sign later. The reason I see this is being somewhat irrelivant is that right now there are 1. No meeting

2. No field service.

Fading? It's a no brainer. and since we need to wait a year or so for meeting to organize again by then the fader will be inactive almost a year or more. Ignore elder calls if any and you are out. DONE

HowTheBibleWasCreated

People that broadcast violance between groups of different skin color like the orginator of this post ARE THE PROBLEM. Notice how after 3 or 4 posts this thread disolved into vomit.

I have announcement that will quiet this:

The stuff JWs get right

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

since today there is a post about jws and science i thought it right to throw them a bone and see if they have anything right:.

1. round earth (lol).

2. old universe (13.7 billion years).

I forgot number 6. At one time the bible students believed in animal evolution over 1000 years ago I think

1. Round Earth (lol)

2. Old universe (13.7 billion years)

3. Old earth (4.4 billion years or so)

4. The theory of relativity was pushed in an awake in the 80s I think it was not to bad.

5. Life didn't come about by chance.(Of course not!... Evolution teaches the opposite!)

6. Religion is a snare and a racket! Bang on! (Just forgot themselves)

Okay that last one is no science but anyone else know of something scientific JWs have got right beside 1-5?

Flat Earth and Jw. Not possible?

by Earthmeasured in

sorry for my poor english, i hope to make not too many mistakes.

im a jw and in the last three years i have studied a lot the topic of the earth being flat.

i have a good scientific background so im not stupid or crazy.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

Okay I'll try an hit on three solid proofs that seem to have been covered but not pushed too hard:

1. You say you have studied astronomy. Ok then explain this>>>

How come every other planet in this solar system is spherical??? Nevermind the 3000-4000 extra-solar planets found daily.

The only exceptions you can make are planetoids and moons but even they are not flat. Maybe oval or odd-shaped but not flat. You say you know physics. Well all the objects I mentioned spin. If you actually use your mind and imagine a hot mass spinning at the beginning of the solar system it would only end up as spherical after a few hundred million years (Not counting the previously mentioned smaller oblong objects)

Edit- I forgot stars, quasars and black holes which are spherical The only objects that are 'flat are spiral galaxies and if you studied cosmology you would have learned of dark matter and why they are 'flat-shaped')

okay 2.

You say you know physics then how does this so-called flat planet have gravity??? I need to get you to read pricipa mathmatica in English by Newton to see that flat-earth gravity is impossible.

3. So you think all NASA images are faked?? ok What about Russian images from before? Oh yeah did you forget alot of the people going in space now are not Americans? Why lie that the earth is flat? What is the point?

At what point would you lose your consciousness and reality?? (really being explored on TV shows now)

by Bad_Wolf in

many recent shows and movies are showing and exploring people having their consciousness absorbed into digital form or transplanted to younger clone bodies to extend life.

parts of our brain can be cut or damaged, but we are still us.

our bodies can be replaced with artificial limbs but we are still us.

Enlighten me If you can

by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

confusing standards or hodge podge?.

what is this about beards i never got the hang of from day one?

are beards ok or not?.

HowTheBibleWasCreated

Actually, no one seems to have mentioned the lastest updates to the WT was that beards are acceptable for elders... if you read the paragraph... therefore you can show this article from 2016 I think to elders and if they disagree accuse them of apostasy!
