Evolution is a Fact #36 - Mass Extinctions

by cofty in

250 million years ago a plume of molten basalt gushed up from the earth's core.

it erupted in an area now known as the siberian traps - back then it was part of the supercontinent pangaea.

a curtain of lava a mile high and hundreds of miles long lit up the sky.

Yellowstone Caldera...

The clock is ticking.

Trump or Contested Convention?

by Coded Logic in

for those of us who are hillary and bernie fans, which is the better outcome - to have donald trump as the republican's nomination whose unpopular with most americans?

or are we better off watching the chaos of a contested convention and the party eventually putting up someone weak like john kasic or jeb bush?

kairos

What makes you say Trump is "unpopular with most Americans"?

when we were in, it was 'the truth'.after being out and free to think and research as i please, what a disappointment to find out that this org is nothing but a publishing house of lies.they literally are in the business ( corporation ) of selling lies.don't believe me?review the publication that you 'studied the bible in' and discover for yourself that the very doctrine that attracted you, no longer exists.it was the "live forever" book for me.the generation that saw the events of 1914 has died and now after a few tweaks the massive lie of "overlapping generations" has been promoted as "truth".this takes us to galatians 1:8,9.read it carefully and repeatedly.

in multiple translations.however, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond what we declared to you as good news, let him be accursed.

9 as we have said above, i also now say again, whoever it is that is declaring to you as good news something beyond what you accepted, let him be accursed.. you cannot change the doctrines.

They literally are in the business ( corporation ) of selling lies.

Don't believe me?Review the publication that you 'studied the bible in' and discover for yourself that the very doctrine that attracted you, no longer exists.
It was the "Live Forever" book for me.The generation that saw the events of 1914 has died and now after a few tweaks the MASSIVE lie of "Overlapping Generations" has been promoted as "truth".
This takes us to Galatians 1:8,9.Read it carefully and repeatedly. In multiple translations.

However, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to YOU as good news something beyond what we declared to YOU as good news, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said above, I also now say again, Whoever it is that is declaring to YOU as good news something beyond what YOU accepted, let him be accursed.

You cannot change the doctrines. Especially if the Nu-Lite® is from a man or 'angel'.
There is no recovery from this reality.
Game. Set. Match.

Bonus points if you read the removed verses: john 8:1-11

Saddest of all is that countless JWs that have given their all without bad motive, unknowingly promoting the lies to cover failed prophecy/predictions of the GB throughout their entire lives, at their own expense with nothing to show for it.Meanwhile, the org has amassed a GIANT real estate/investment portfolio they can sell off as needed for quick cash to pay off the many victims of child sexual abuse from fellow members without their knowledge.
Page 200 and 201 of the "God's Kingdom Rules" book lays out the lies, by omission, of where "our" donations go.
Criminal liars.

Rev 18:4-8
4 And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind. 6 Render to her even as she herself rendered, and do to her twice as much, yes, twice the number of the things she did; in the cup in which she put a mixture put twice as much of the mixture for her. 7 To the extent that she glorified herself and lived in shameless luxury, to that extent give her torment and mourning. For in her heart she keeps saying, ‘I sit a queen, and I am no widow, and I shall never see mourning.’ 8 That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong.

Sound like the modern day GB?
The child abuse and blood issue cannot be forgiven. They are facing worldwide investigation in the courts because of their gross injustice of "being permissive towards pedophiles".They shamelessly appear on JWTV/.org/conventions with expensive suits and jewelry/watches and live in five star accommodation and travel without regard for expense.
They call themselves the bride of Christ.If Christ is the king, that makes them the Queen, doesn't it?

Another generation....

by joey jojo in

it has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?

the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.

the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

28 years

by PLAYGROUND in

earlier i posted about my loveless marriage.

i was baptized at a very young age, and during that time period i was having sex.yes i made a dedication knowing i was still practicing fornication.

i had raging hormones since my youth.

Just disassociate and move on...

If you need comfort from the bible, look at John 8:1-11.

( just not in the new silver NWT, as they removed it... )

My self control is failing

by kairos in

i see jw posts on fb all the time.they say crazy things based on ignorance.. for example:.

regarding the prince article in people magazine, they are saying "we aren't a church".. i want so badly to come in and mention that gb member jackson referred to the jw org as a church over and over under sworn testimony at the arc.the jws do not lock down their security settings and allow commenting on their 'public posts'.

they need a taste of ttatt.

kairos

I want to do activist work.

It's either that or move away from Napa.
I cannot go anywhere in this town without spotting JWs, their homes and businesses.

I have a tremendous amount of free time and I know where they all take their breaks, set up the lit carts and the routes to and from the assemblies and meetings. Wouldn't it be something if instead of me seeing them and feeling bad about how they treat their fellow man, they will have to run and hide to protect their brainwashed minds from the 'evil, mentally diseased apostate' that points out the quotes found in their own WT libraries...

I may need some 'back-up'.

One of the comments was this:

How awesome. Can't wait to meet him

Seriously? He just died and you want to be in line to meet him after his Resurrection?
Disgusting!

Here in Napa, where these JWs live, many "loyal and faithful ones" have died in recent years.
No posts about them to be found.

Jehovah's Witness Church Release Statement

jw
friends

"we are saddened to hear about the death of prince rogers nelson, who was baptized as one of jehovah’s witnesses in 2003," the church said in a statement obtained by people.

the church said that prince "found fulfillment as a witness and in sharing his faith with others.

How did he get a free pass on the 'tight pants', cuz that's all he wore...

---

Actually, this situation is going to leave trail of bad publicity on WT forever.

With the internet and the ability to comment on news and social media, no JW apologist will be able to defend against the flood of commentary about the cult that Prince was a member. Do you really think Prince would be as popular as he was if the general public knew what he thought of worldly people and their impending death at Harm-u-gettin' ?

This is going to be huge.
