when i log on i scan the "active topics" first.

check out who's posting what.

when i see an "i'm leaving!

spiritwalker

People do this because they want attention. They want those who, they feel are supporters of them, to scream out that they should not leave. Especially useful are comments like these in the follow-ups ...

"See how far this has gotten, even the long time members and people who really need this site are leaving."

... often, more then not, the people leave the board for a day or two and come back. Actually, in all of my experience with several types of message boards. I have always found these threads to be the most humor and I laugh at the poster more then they would ever like to know. I think it is so foolish and stupid, as in all cases "NONE OF US ARE REALLY HERE." We are at home in front of a computer, and our life should be away from that computer. When you have to take the step of saying, "I am leaving the message board." You are really showing how sad your life has become to be to the point that your life is the message board or one of your key support systems.

While I post, hardly ever, I read a lot of the former Witness boards from time to time. This seems to be a common thread or topic on them all. Maybe it is the way of saying, "I have disassociated myself." Who knows, but if this post insulted you ... LOL. Get a life!

this a quote from cnn.com.

in which they are talking about a new movie that is about the last ours of jesus christ ... .

the movie, whose dialogue is in latin and aramaic, covers the final 12 hours in the life of jesus christ and has come under fire from some jewish groups who claim its story could foment anti-semitism by tying christ's death to jewish authorities.. .

Jews aren't weak. For their numbers, they have a very disproportionate influence. In fact, as far as affecting change on society, they may be the most powerful. That is why they can make demands in the face of 2000 yrs of tradition.

Not all of any group is weak. It is the weak ones among the group, organization, etc. That complain about things that are just a little to much. The ones demanding a PC would.

... do Jews really think that the Christians need a reminder that they killed Jesus Christ? Isn't that reminder, the BIBLE! I think this whole PC world of rewriting what offends everyone, is getting out of hand. Personally, I make it a point to not be Politically Correct and when I find out I offended someone. I tend to do it more and more until I destroy them all together. If your that weak, that you can be offended by EVERYTHING, without seeing the truth in the statements, then your a waist of oxygen. Sometimes I wish it was a 1000 years ago and the weak died young, as they grow up now and make stupid complaints.

THEY'VE DONE IT!!!! The WBTS set a new date!

by dmouse in

the latest watchtower, dec 15th 2003, is an out and out attack on the rank and file for dropping into a drowsy state spiritually.

ok, so armageddon didn't come before the generation of 1914 grew old and died.

but does that mean that the big a isn't near?

spiritwalker

Don't you know that the world is ending on December 21, 2012?

Heck 2034???? Well guess I will have fun until 2033 and a half and then become a Witness again for six months in one of those death bed confessions. Then, upon the new year of 2035, it is back to all the parties and lustful thoughts. As I figure it, I got some time to spare! LOL

One missing fact from the Noah tale. It did not happen!

recently the actually value of the un has been questioned on a global scale.

with many nations ignore the un and even using it as a subject of humor, in that it has proven to be useless.

the united states seems to care less and less about what it does and seems to be building its own way of doing things, without the un involved.

Did you know that predictions of man "fictional" writers have been used to predict the end of the world? Did you know that the same method used to develop the "bible code", can be used in other great peices of work such as Moby Dick to show signs of the last days? So on and so forth, but why?

Because even enough experience, time, and bending of the imagination. Any time frame and many books, both Bible and non-biblical. Can be bent to be what ever you wish it to be. It happens all the time, and it will happen again and again. If your mind is weak enough to accept the BS, there will always be a follower of your destored work.

i was getting my hair cut the other day, and the man seemed to be older and wiser then the normal youthful people i get in this profession.

so i decided, this would be a good person to take advice from on how to raise my children.

then the other day, while walking threw the mall, i saw an man picking up some trash and realized he was a janitor.

So I decided, this would be a good person to take advice from on how to raise my children. Then the other day, while walking threw the mall, I saw an man picking up some trash and realized he was a janitor. At once I decided, this is the person I need to talk to about the problems in my sex life. Not even a day later, a man was mowing my yard and trimming my trees, and I was overwhelmed with the need to confess to him my sins and ask for forgiveness. Yet in all these, I was most drawn to the retired man, who never held a job over three years and had no higher education, to make the ultimate decision on who I should marry.

Kind of weird sounding, isn't it? Well you did this as a Witness, why not now? Heck, I took advice from some of the most unintelligent people in the world and never met an elder who really had a lick of education to brag about. Yes, some were older and wiser, and some dogs get calmer and easier to get along with in their older years too. In all though, I do not look in the yellow pages at Janitor, Yard Worker, Barber, and retirement homes, when I need advice or help in this world. I just have a hard time believing I used to. It is really kind of funny, now.

How did all the animals fit on Noah's Ark?

by hooberus in

.

many skeptics assert that the bible must be wrong, because they claim that the ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals.

Noah downloaded their DNA on to a Super Computer with a Pen"holy"ium 7 proccessor, with a 777 GB harddrive. Of course, thanks to a virus produced by the prophet Bill, son of the Gates, we lost all the Dinorsaurs upon the earth drying and ended up with all sorts of weird animals in Australia when the porn got mixed it from Ham's little nightly adventure. Yet in the end, Jehovah "I am the firewall", set up a rainbow and said it would happen no more. Which, sense the Rainbow is most closely assocaited with the gay movement, we can only assume that God was talking out of his RAM.

He then went on about how maybe that's how it would happen

So, true! There is so must disorganization in the organization, these days. Especially with the long time members getting confused over what never happened and the short time members, not being taught what used to be. It is becoming a battle of the confused mind. In that the long time members do not understand the growing doubt within them and the short time members do not understand why people feel so different then them. What a mess! Not the religion I remember it being.

Of course, it is a way of life for many. Any a screwed up way of life, that you are used to, is better then another life, that you do not know. Comfort factor! People in, feel comfortable.

Undecided, I am not sure

i was kind of laughing today, upon reading a recent poll on another website.

i always find something funny about polls, that have a category for "undecided" or "i am not sure.

" as i wonder, "why even take a poll if you do not have an opinion on the subject?

spiritwalker

Spiritwalker, does that mean you're undecided ?

I this time I need to state, "I am not sure"

Recently the actually value of the UN has been questioned on a global scale. With many nations ignore the UN and even using it as a subject of humor, in that it has proven to be useless. The United States seems to care less and less about what it does and seems to be building its own way of doing things, without the UN involved. Which I personally think is a great idea. Yet, what about the prophecies we had shoved down our throat as Witnesses in the book of Revelations? When is there going to be some new understanding, that rewrites all that crap and goes with something new? It seems like there needs to be something new, soon, as the old stuff is getting outdated daily on the UN.

I always love the prophets of the Watchtower. They do not do as prophets of old, and declare prophecy and how it will apply to the future (which would make you think divine guidance). Rather, they are praised for apply their prophecy ideas to things, after the fact, and there people think it is God speaking. I wonder, if there was a truck about to hit you on the road and I let it hit you. Would you think I had ESP, if I came up and said "I saw that coming and knew it was going to hit you" or would you just think I was an ass? Oh well, an ass did talk in the bible history and it only makes sense that another one would speak today. So it is time for some new understanding from the Watchtower and time for people to praise the Watchtower for warning them of bible prophecy and how it applies to the past. Wouldn't you say?
