  Cancer in Animals

  by Normalfulla in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we were taught sickness and death is a result of the sin inherited from adam and eve, so why do animals get cancer?

  they are supposedly still as big j intended, so therefore cancer is a creation by the big fella himself?.

  just an exercise for one's who believe in the whole bible story thing.. (not me)... any others anomalies you can think of ?

  It's because of a little known bible verse in Benisus chapter 3 v 34

  34"And lo! The snake did approach jup-jup the monkey and he did say unto him 'see those naked ass humans over there? Well they just got hella smart from eating that Apple, I bet they will be able to kill and eat you and your kind now and truly I say to you, they shall wear your skin to cover their nakedness. Eat of the Apple too and you shall be able to outsmart them!' 35 And so Jup-jup did eat of the Apple and he did give some to his fellow monkeys and they did eat of the apples too.36 But when the snake got to hear that the monkeys did eat of the apples he proceeded to laugh heartily and declare 37 'lo now you and your kind shall be cursed, for the ilogical God that hath made all of us had decreed that none should eat of these apples, which is why he put them there and made them look so good. Now shall he curse you truly and all of your kind!' 38 When the monkeys got to hear this they hooted and screeched bitterly and they did give Chase to the snake and upon catching him they proceeded to beat him violently against a tree untill he was dead."

  I hope these scriptures explain the answer to your question now? ;)

  "This data they acquired without member’s knowledge or
  consent."...

  How? How did they get this data? Did they stalk the person? Hack the person?

We will also notify any third-party recipients of the necessary changes.

  Please note that your data may not be erased if processing is required by law or if the data may be kept on other legal bases. For example, the religious organization has an interest in permanently maintaining data regarding an individual’s status as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Deleting such information would unduly infringe on the organization’s religious beliefs and practices. Requests to delete personal data are subject to any applicable legal reporting or document retention requirements imposed on us. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority about the processing of the data you have provided through this website."

  You can see here that they also have allowed themselves the right to keep your data regardless of wether you want them to or not, can this be legal? Or are they banking on the rank and file not challenging this?

  How can they justify keeping yr details if you refuse to sign?

  by purrpurr in

  i've just been watching theleaked videos that fay dehr has provided, they really scared me and i can't understand how legally they can justify keeping contact det ails for people who refuse to sign their new data form?

  surely the law states that they must destroy the data if the person refuses to sign?.

  also i'd like to look at their data form and the terms and conditions (the small print) that comes with it, where can i find this?.

  here's a link to a common form that publishers are required to fill in if they want to participate in city cart witnessing:.

  https://1drv.ms/b/s!amcrvjcxi6m6agpvwzog5pxfxja.

  note on the reverse of the form comments that elders write, and a box to rate your "spirituality"!

  ok with the push for more personal data to be held by watchtower.. what if... they one day came out and said great news brothers and sisters.

  we are soon to be launching jw internet.

  you can soon cancel your service provider and sign up to ours.

  I think many would sign up.... but I reckon it would not be used exclusively the bros are more savvy than that, I think they would sign up just to show willing but would do all the usual stuff on Google. So no advertising revenue to be had there.

  Also how would they enforce it? All the jws would have to do is just lie and say they had signed up to it when they hadn't

  it's my first time on this site though i am no stranger in the ex-jw community.

  i come to you now asking for your assistance in what to present to the dean of students at my university.. why am i meeting with dean of students, you may ask?

  because today, while innocently finishing an assignment in the school library, i happened to look out the window and see the jws with their stupid little cart.

  Please do update us!

  And I agree put them on camera and co front them with (apostate) truths, they will soon run for the hills!

  And educate your fellow students about them too in case the jws try to target the uni in other ways
