Perhaps angels wear SCUBA equipment while they fly from the Pleiades constellation to earth. And maybe they get that equipment from Amazon dot Heaven. (Sorry, I couldn’t make it any more religiously irreverent – my brain is currently being massaged by a few bubbly pints.)

15Ever heard of this angel power?
by blondie inhttps://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1961047#h=16:285-23:710. we may also safely conclude that angels, god’s spirit messengers, travel at tremendous speeds.
thus once when daniel began to pray, god dispatched an angel to him in answer to his prayer.
this angel, although coming from beyond the realms of outer space, reached daniel before he had concluded his prayer.—dan.

“eyeslice2”: “Did God really say that . . . ?”
Indeed – did God really say that . . . . that a group of seven sexually frustrated, narcissistic old men wearing suits and ties, sitting around a corporate boardroom table in
BrooklynWarwick, New York would comprise the “Governing Body” / “Faithful and Discreet Slave” (capitalization theirs) – apparently™ soon to be ‘appointed over all his [Jesus’] belongings’ just before Armageddon (Matt 24:47)?i don’t remember reading that in my grey Bible.

Why Did You Stay In The JW Religion As Long As You Did?
by minimus inwere you so indoctrinated that you just couldn’t leave?
was it due to family pressure?
was it your friendships that you didn’t want to lose?

It seems that it’s always the friends and family relationships that end up keeping the JWs stuck in the organization. Yeah – that and, at least in the beginning, the fear.
It kind of makes me think of a mean bully of a husband demanding and forcing his wife at gunpoint to tell him, “I love you.” (Sarcasm on now): Yeah. Real genuine, sincere, and well-grounded motives in both cases, eh? Yeah, how oh so genuine and sincere. (Not.) Yeah, the “truth”™ of the WT must really be the thing that keeps people in because they “believe” it wholeheartedly . . . . so much so that when they can manage to get a clean break from it, then they’re off like a flash – like a bird that escapes from a net!

Theocratic Ministry School
by tresdecu inso the tms....does anyone think it might ever go away?
possibly being replaced by a borg streaming presentation that's required viewing from home?
it seems to me that with the congregation merging and sell-off that's going on, there are going to be 4 maybe 5 congregations sharing some khs.

Weird Jehovah’s Witnesses
by minimus inis it my imagination or are most witnesses weird, odd, and “different “?
it seems every congregation has a couple of weirdo elders, pioneers and ministerial servants.
and then you see those witnesses who attend meetings but most people seldom associate with them because... they are eccentric..

Well, maybe it’s because they exemplify the bug-eyed stereotypical cult follower, automatically receptive to whatever conformity edicts and performance pressures coming down from “the top.”
That’s why. You see, they’re just desperately towing the (New York) party line in pursuit of “everlasting life,” replete with panda- lion-petting and sufficient levels of happiness/joy as to evoke vomiting from one’s ears!

The "Good Old Days" - what made em' good?
by Terry inhave you ever heard the phrase:.

The thing that really bugs me about these most recently modern times are all these stupid “new laws,” turning our North American/European countries into a totalitarian fascist police state, wherein, as an example, kids can’t even go riding their bicycles around town – or even on their own street – without their parents being subject to being arrested!
And it’s disgustingly maddening how Big Brother Government is dictating to us every little aspect of our lives – such as where we can take photographs, and even where we can go within our own country (i.e., state laws, including “loitering in a high drug area” just for innocently driving down the road, etc.).
Yes, life was much, much simpler and freer back in the days gone past, despite the lack of iPhone progress.

Personally, I don’t care what JWs believe, as they long as they are not causing any tangible harm to anybody. Although, the rights of children against blatantly harmful tactics of religious outfits (such as undue influence cults, as in JWs) should also be respected. After all, children don’t yet possess the critical thinking skills necessary to objectively evaluate any tightly-enforced system of belief and living. -

Who's Worse, Watchtower or the Mafia?
by APieceOfShitNamedTate inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xofz--1fq2u.
"and along with making us seem legit comes cash...tons of it.
i mean, what do you think we're doing planning all of these conventions?

SAHS
Well, at least the Mafia isn’t a totalitarian institution, like the JWs!
The Mafia doesn’t care if you whack off in your own bed at night, eat birthday cake at school, throw rice or confetti at weddings, say “Good luck” or “gesundheit,” allow a blood transfusion for your sick baby, etc., etc., etc.

Desensitized by the Bible
by jws ini have an old friend who grew up jw in my original congregation and is now on his latest wife.
unlike the somewhat religious ambivalence of his previous wives, this one he says is right on par with his religious view.
which is very conservative christian.lately, his wife posted on facebook about the horrible things in the world and the roll media takes in desensitizing us.

@“jws”:
Excellent post! You really put things in perspective with regard to the whole idea of the fairness and logic of an “almighty” deity and his dealings with humanity right from the get-go.
