  Infinity versus nothing

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some people like to believe in something others believe in nothing; so in what location did the substance that expanded into the time/space universe exist before the big bang?

  where did the energy that caused the big band come from?

  how did the substance that became the big bang change from being inert and sterile and come to life to having the properties and drive that it does?

  Sad news from the Spanish Front

  by Hecce in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the majority of forum friends are aware of the existence of a vibrant watchtower opposition in the spanish field.

  for about 13 years the extj forum was probably the main instrument for that endeavor, sadly the couple sponsoring that site decided to close it at the end of last year.

  it seems like they were overwhelmed with personal obligations and responsibilities; they were covering a 100% of the expenses without any outside cooperation or publicity.. after the closing of their forum, some of the friends started new sites to keep the flow of information alive.

  If a congregation doesn't bring in the funds, though.
  
  I think WT is in financial free fall.
  More than we can imagine.

  Jehovah sure loves foreskins!

  2. friends

  an atheist (never jw) friend of mine is an rv for a jw who he is trying to deprogram.

  he started this totally on his own and just telling me about it.

  it's quite amusing what he comes up with.. point 1: why the s & m stuff with foreskins?

  So, a guy takes all his collected foreskins from the battlefield to a tradesmen to see what can be made from them.

  He comes back a week later and the result is a small wallet.

  "That's all you could make?"
  

  He then rubs the wallet and it immediately grows into a duffle bag...

  If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?

  didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.

  seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

  Some apostates are coming across as crazed psychopaths

  i'm not sure whether or not my view on this is correct so please leave your input.

  in recent months i've been viewing youtube videos.

  again, it might just be my view but there has been an increased amount of random people grabbing a camera and doing vlogs.

  I've watched nearly all of JWFairy Tales youtube vids.
  It was just what I needed. Would binge five or more hours on occasion.

  Mockery

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  once you woke up did see mockery?

  .

  from the memorial to the new world translation to the general stupid things said in the hall it seems like some bizzaro world where some supernatural entity controls everything in an attempt to mock god..

  My dub wife was listening in the other night.
  I was able to hear some of the JW comments.

  It literally made me want to cry.

  Will Donald Trump Be Impeached Before His Term Ends?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm thinking his willful failure to be briefed by the cia about russian election tampering and not understanding diplomatic protocall.

  making off handed statements without proper research about the mater.

  he's an outsider when it comes to running the government that will make big mistakes at every turn because he seems clueless when it comes to running a government.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-moore-predicts-trump-impeach-resign_us_58261464e4b0c4b63b0c6dee.

  I hope Trump boots the UN from the USA just so the JWs lose their collective minds.

  Maybe the 7th King is the King of the North and the 8th king ( UN ) is the Assyrian and apostates are the King of the South, too...

  JWs steal lives.
  Recover what's left of yours while you still can.

  What would happen to the assets of the JW organisation if the cult went into meltdown?

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what if the jw org became publicly exposed as a repressive and harmful cult working to the detriment of society, the membership dropped away and the gb woke up to reality and quit .

  what would happen to the worldwide property and investments of the wtbts and allied companies?

  where would the money go then?

  I would be very satisfied if WTBT$ lost it's non-profit status with the IRS.

  Right after losing their non-prophet status with the r&f dubs in the Feb 17 WT.
