  I'm really sorry to hear that Perry. It's really messed up that they would treat you that way.

  The End Is Near...

  by freemindfade in

  so we all know and are seeing that as the org is taking some kind of financial beating it is being interpreted, either by design or not, that armageddon is coming any second now.

  well from our vantage point we can see the only end that may be near is for the publishing company itself, wtbts, and not the world.

  its sickening to hear loved ones and friends say this, that this means the desert god is coming to wipe out most of humanity.

  Vidiot: "Would you settle for slow contamination from the toxic waste buried underneath?"

  As in their false prophecies? Or their pedophile cover ups? Or do you mean the contamination of those who no longer buy their BS? I think the Society has been sitting on a heap of toxic waste for decades. Long before it ever thought of moving to Warwick.

  . . .

  Oh thank you God of Irony . . . for settling them on that poisonous mountain of nickel. May your bitch Karma be ever in their affairs.

  Hey Simon

  i'm noticing that when i open quite a few of the posts here i notice that the end of the sentences on some lines are breaking improperly.

  like for the word paragraph, it's broken up with the "aph" on the next line for an example.

  it's happening a lot i'm seeing it just about in every post i open, is it just my view and my computer?.

  The Monsters the WTBTS Created

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  growing up, the jws at the kingdom hall taught me that perfection is the only standard via which things can ever be measured.

  "well yeah modern medicine is great - but it's pointless because they can't save everyone.

  and they can't stop people from dying.

  Growing up, the JWs at the Kingdom Hall taught me that perfection is the only standard via which things can ever be measured. "Well yeah modern medicine is great - but it's pointless because they can't save EVERYONE. And they can't stop people from dying." - "The UN is utterly pointless because wars still happen . . . it doesn't matter how many wars they've prevented from happening." - "World leaders may have good intentions . . . but they can't fix everything they want too so, in the end, it's pointless to even care about them." etc. etc. etc.

  Simultaneously, they manage to exercise breathtaking arrogance, "Oh don't mind us . . . we're just on a divine mission from God and busy fulfilling prophecy and all . . ."
  

  But whenever someone points out they're not curing anyone any better than the doctors, or making any better on their promises than the World Leaders, or that they're not solving world issues any better than the United Nations - they cry foul. Special pleading - "But we're God's organisation (bought and paid for by you) and anyone who criticizes us is blind and stupid and mentally diseasesed . . ."

  But what do they expect? They're the ones who created us critical little bastards. They're the ones who created us critical little Monsters :p

  The difference is most doctors, world leaders, and the United Nations don't claim to be on a mission from God or be "beyond reproach". However, the Society does make such grand claims for itself.

  They are worthy of being held to the standard they claim they uphold. It's not like we're extra critical of them simply because we're X-JWs. Rather, it's because they're so damned self righteous in the first place and they can't possibly live up to the standards they insist everyone else live up to.

  In 2013 Ikea published 208 million catalogs (62 different versions in 43 countries) - more than double the amount of Bibles produced:

  Is Warwick still being built?

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone know if this new freeze on all construction projects includes the new headquarters being built in warwick?.

  if it does apply to it, then this really makes no sense whatsoever.

  the society is poised to make hundreds of millions of dollars (perhaps even a billion) by selling the properties they currently occupy in brooklyn.

But they can't do that if they don't move to Warwick. Wouldn't it be MORE costly to not build? Am I missing something here? How much is Warwick going to cost that they couldn't complete it?

  "For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?29"Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, 30saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.'…

  Well it's 7,000 years old and not 6,000 years old - so the skeleton is clearly a satanic apostate lie created by evil scientists who forged the skeleton from babies they killed in their human sacrifices to Lucifer so they could try and deny the Bible. It's just all too obvious.

  'Sting' Videos Of Planned Parenthood Are Totally Manipulated, Forensic Analysis Finds

  'sting' videos of planned parenthood are totally manipulated, forensic analysis finds.

  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/planned-parenthood-sting-videos-forensic_55df2334e4b029b3f1b1be9f.

  i find it truly amazing that our good friend perry makes a huge deal out of this when he thinks he's finally found some footing to stand on and desperately tries to throw it in our faces - but when it's completely debunked he suddenly goes silent.

  Someone should really start a meme.

  Funny how "Christian honesty" only goes as far as confirming preconceived bias - but completely ignores anything that's counter to the belief.

  EXACTLY Why JW's Are NOT Christian

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a lot of people, ex-jws, believers and unbelievers alike, think that jw's are just a somewhat kooky brand of christianity.

  is it possible to "try and follow jesus" and not be christian?

  what exactly makes someone a christian?

  By Perry's definition, Peter and Paul would not be true Christians. They taught that only patriarchs could have a relationship with Jesus and that all members of their household needed to go through them.

  The Watchtower Corporation Ability To Survive In A Changing Society Following The Edicts Of A Bronze Age Moral Code

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  2. beliefs

  what are the negative and positives of this whole affair.

  will they be able to make some positive changes that will insure their survival for say 5 decades?

  will they survive the public scrutiny that the information age has brought upon us?

  What do you mean by "survive"? Are you talking about every kingdom hall sold off the head quarters boarded up? Or do you mean they wont be able to continue their growth? Or do you mean that the Organization will become so different and change so much that we wont be able to recognize it anymore outside of its name?

  The Borg's growth has been contracting more and more and I don't think it will be long until they start posting some negative numbers. I think in two or three decades they will be as different an organization as from the one they were in the forties to now. But I doubt the brand will entirely disappear. They will just continue playing a more and more marginalized role as less and less people pay attention to them.
