  while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.

  these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.

  they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.

  FOLKS COME ON YOU CANT TAKE THIS AS REAL ???

  The person who posted this is being satrical. However, the wording and reasoning behind it is the ACTUAL POSITION of the WTBTS. And our posts are our feelings in regards to their inhumanity.

  It is not us who are the virus. It is the JWs who indoctrinate their children. It is the men who stand upon the stage and claim to know things that they don't know. It is the the spiritually dead GB who assert they have the powers of devine interpitation and personal revelation that are the virus. It is the infectious B.I.T.E model they wish to spead everywhere. It is the JWs who knock on peoples doors saying that they have the answers to life. THEY are the virus.

  We are the antidote. The firmware. The firewall. And so long as my fingers are capable of typing I will continue to oppose the spread of this infectious diseas and the superstitious vandalism of other peoples minds!

  The Worst Way of Living

  by Coded Logic in

  2. beliefs

  the unexamined life is not worth living.. -socrates.

  holding all of humanity in contempt and degrading every achievement of mankind as being insignificant is not a philosophy or a worldview worth having.

  tell me, oh self righteous jw, what was the price of your integrity?

  “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

  -Socrates

  Holding all of humanity in contempt and degrading every achievement of mankind as being “insignificant” is not a philosophy or a worldview worth having. Tell me, oh self righteous JW, what was the price of your integrity? What was the going rate for your rational minds? Look and see, you have whored out your souls at the behest of a religious pipe dream. And made lying to the dying your lifes work.

  There is a terrible sadness that you are willing to sacrifice your humanity - and the sum total of all human experience - on the altar of “everlasting life.” You have done all that you can to devalue this life . . . so that you can continue to worship death. But illusion will not cure your ailments. And lies will not nourish your souls.

  There’s too much to learn, too much to see, there’s too much to know, and too much to experience in this life to waste a single breath worrying about the next. Because, right now, it’s not enough to just exist - you should want to live. And don’t worry about living after death, concern yourself with living before it.

  The Illusion of Superiority

  by Coded Logic in

  2. beliefs

  after reading dozens and dozens of posts and hundreds of comments, it seems to me that a great many people on this forum think that since they figured out ttatt, they must therefore be a highly intelligent and incredibly rational individual.

  let me take a moment to congratulate everyone.

  its a big step to figure this out - i know.. that said, it doesn't make you a genius!

  "Great many" is offensive and an irrational, likely unsupported by the facts, statement. Great many means kinda sorta everyone but you.

  -DJS

  You are committing the formal logical fallacy of False Equivocation. “Great many” does NOT mean "everyone one but me." Rather, “great many” means a large number of people. You are trying to add things which are not there. There is nothing offensive, irrational, or unsupported about it. Which is more then I can say about your comment.

  And you made definitive 'conclusions' about why the great many are responding as you describe, that they "think that since they figured out TTATT, they must therefore be a highly intelligent and incredibly rational individual." That's an unsupported, likely erroneous, definitive statement. Have you any data which supports such a definitive statement?

  DJS

  Awe that's cute, you're acting like you're going to teach me a lesson. Adorable! Fortunately for me, you're demonstrably wrong. People on this forum continuously call others stupid, idiot, moron, illogical, irrational, and conduct all other manner of ad hominem attacks. And people on this forum also speak at great length about how much smarter they are than all the elders and the MS who are still JWs. And when another member on this website points out a valid problem with their logic - they lash out call the other party calling them “illogical” without taking any consideration of their own position. So yes, my statement is both supported and factual.

  Your presentation skills can stand some improvement.

  -DJS

  I am open to any suggestions you might have.

  I am fairly intelligent but I have real blank spots in my mind for some forms of argument or debate.

  -humbled

  Everyone has mental blind spots. The human brain is not particularly good at logic. That’s why its something we have to learn. Here’s a really good video that is easy to understand and covers some of the basics. The person has a whole series of videos on debate but they’ve got the kind of voice and demeanor that instantly puts you at ease. I recomend his vdeos to everyone

  I maintain a broad brush was used.

  -jgnat

  How come?

  (I can’t address your concerns if you don’t qualify them)

  Coded Logic, how do you know that they didn't ask "does that apply to me?", and *then* ask you?

  -Onager

  Because the two questions I asked in my OP were, "Do you know what logic is?" and "Have you ever studied logic?" Instead of considering these they instead asked "How do we know you're not suffering from the DK effect?"

  Whether or not I'm suffering from the DK effect is Red Herring. It in no way effects the validity of the questions I posed. And, had the person considered their own position and their own understanding of logic - instead of worrying about mine - they would have known that. So no, it wasn't an "assumption" as you so crudely assert. Rather, its what's known as inductive reasoning. Here's a good site you can read up on it:

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses the only religion to teach a paradise earth?

  by rory-ks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have tried researching, but this pesky organisation always packs out the list.

  you seem to have to drill down several layers before reaching christadelphians.. is it a recognised idea among other peoples/religions?.

  The idea of paradise pre-dates even Judaism. The Zoroastrians believed in a paradise called Garothman. The Celts believed in a paradise they called the Fortunate Isles. The Greeks believed in the Elysium Feilds. All three of which were physical places with a physical resurection. There is absolutely nothing unique to the JW teaching, its been part of most cultures at one time or another.

  The Watchtower is a corporation. And a corporation will do whatever it needs to do to survive - even/especially if that means sacraficing its principles. Even if that means sacraficing some of its existing members. The WTBTS is a huge brand name with instant brand name recognition and they will make what ever changes are neccissary to meet the needs of this newer and more educated generation. The cats out of the bag - information can no longer be controlled. Think about it, five years ago vindicating Jehovah's name was the most important thing to the Jehovah's Witnesses. Now they are perfectly okay with calling themselves JWs. The enormity (meant in both senses of the word) cannot be overstated. jw.org isn't the end of the changes being made - it's just the begining.

  Who knows what will come next. But the PNR has already been passed and the changes will start happening faster and faster. I would be perfectly comfortable predicting that in the next ten years the WTBTS will change more then it has in the past fifty. And the JWs of twenty years from now will be almost completely unrecognizable. Rock concert like music preformances at the kingdom halls, dancing, food, and "Jesus loves you no matter what" will all become the norm. Religion is going out fast as the "nones" become more and more prominent and the only way to keep people in religion is to make it all about sense of community and inclusion. The WTBTS will embrace all of this because it will be what's neccissary to survive. Remember, they are - and always have been - a corporation.

  THE PIT

  . . .

  Grappling with the fancies

  And the shadows in my mind

  Fighting off the demons

  On the pathways of the blind

  . . .

  Thought I saw a light

  Through the darkness and the grit

  Shinning from the bottom

  Of the blackness of the pit

  . . .

  Like fools gold in the night

  Deceptions of the haughty

  Was this the true glimmer

  Of our Governing Body?

  . . .

  There upon the knife edge

  Where I sooner should have been

  I found myself doubting

  Those Seven wicked men

  . . .

  But knowing I would plummet

  In a free fall of despair

  My fingers grasped the edge

  And I hung there in the air

  . . .

  I couldn't hold on long

  As my strength began to wane

  My compassion fading fast

  As my mind became deragned

  . . .

  Then remembering my family

  And the the world up above

  I realized life's worth living

  If I live a life in love

  . . .

  So I pulled myself up

  Out of the blackness of that pit

  And went searching for a light

  Beyond the darkness where I'd lived

  . . .

  Finally free from the shadows

  And the pathways of the blind

  Theres a whole new world

  To be explored by my mind
