  the insanity of Sam herds talks at the convention

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've picked up two that stood out to me but i'm sure others will have noticed more:.

  he gave an illustration about fearing god and he said it is like a wife who has spent all day preparing the evening meal for her husband and she hears him come home and perhaps she is trembling a bit out of fear that he might not like the meal she has cooked for him....!!!!!!!!????.

  the other was about verbal abuse and how it should not be used but rather than site the effect it has or the forms it can take he said that we shouldn't call each other " dumb dumb" or "knuckle head" .

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while i'm glad i found this site, it has also crumbled to bits everything i've believed in my whole life.

  i feel like the certainty, magic and wonder has gone out of my life.

  this has left a huge hole in my soul.

  1. jw

  i've noticed about half my half are using these.

  of course there's always the potential for people to be looking at things non jw on them.

  are the society going to find a way to police this?

  out of date references at assembly

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at the last district convention i remember feeling really embarrassed by the out of date references made about wars and other issues.

  for instance, they talked about the hutus and tootises also the serbs and croatians when they talked about war.

  they also talked about dr spock telling people not to smack children.

  why Jehovah's witnesses? not yaweh witnesses?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this i never understood, the publications say that gods name translated from hebrew is yaweh.

  why add a whole bunch of letters and vowels that change the sound of the name completely?

  i've often thought surely we would gain greater respect on the ministry if we used a name that is historically and verbally accurate?.

  i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.

  by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.

  a brief bio.
