  Amateurs Built the Ark

  by enigma1863 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  are you familiar with the motto "professionals built the titanic amateurs built the ark?".

  i find it somewhat annoying.

  i've been looking for a good analogy like amelia earhart was a professional pilot dorothy was just a girl from kansas but she got back home..

  Thats a rediculous saying because it compares two unalike things. You may as well say "egyptians built the pymarids but the acients built atlantis"

  noahs ark wasnt real. comparing it to the titanic is pointless.

  Has science replaced the bible? WT June 1 2015

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i picked up a printed copy of the june 1 2015 public edition wt..... before the end of page 1, the stupidity is already evident.. they quote a dictionary, but don't list which one.. they quote a "world- famous physicist", but don't give his name.

  the quote looks like it is edited to fit their reasoning.. they quote "others", but no reference to who they are is provided.. the next page quotes "a popular science writer" who??.

  then the classic line "jehovah's witnesses respect each person's right to make a decision on this matter".

  I wonder if this will be a new wt trend, citing but not actually quoting, people. After that recent debacle misquoting a scientist who called them on it this seems to make sense. They get to borrow supposed experts but can easily say anything they want attributing it to some a supposed authority. The rank and file eat it up as truth and theres no risk of exposure

  The Reason Why Jehovah's Witnesses Will Never Prosper Is The Children

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.

  the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

  Min you say they wont prosper, but really its all about definitions, sumantics....

  they are a domsday cult that still has about 8 million people believing, in the year 2015, that jesus returned invisibly 101 years ago and that hes goiing to kick the shit out of over 7 billion people because they dont believe tight pants tony and rubber face lett are christs brothers....

  to convince 8 million people of this utter nonsense IS success! How big would they have to be to "prosper" by your definition? Their definition of prosper is any small growth that helps like organization coffers and they get that every year. I dont think its die anywhere near what they could have if they wernt so wacky but then if it wasnt wacky if wouldnt be a cult.....

  Im not trying to be obtuse, i get your basic point that they arnt growing anywhere near what they could and they are really suffering with retention problems, but i think they are growing just enough to keep themselves blinded to their issues and are contented to throw around the 8 million number as an all time high and fool themselves into thinking its the desert gods blessing. Its prospering enough for them.

  What are you gonna do when the existence of god is disproved?

  by Doltologist in

  2. experiences

  in 1897, j.j. thomson discovered the electron.

  this was the first constituent part of the atom which, for 2,000 years, was thought to be indivisible.

  today, we know of 18 elemental particles following the recent discovery of the higgs boson, the so-called god particle.. back in 1897, most people believed in god because there weren't even any theories as to how the universe came into being.

  @dolt, there are people who still question that earth is a sphere. If such basic and easily proven facts are discounted something as ephemeral as god will always be believed in..

  JESUS COMING

  by disillusioned 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm confused.

  reading the day's text for yesterday, they talk about jesus coming and that it is a future time after the great tribulation.

  i thought they have always said he came in 1914 and earlier at other times (russell).. .

  Passive aggressive circuit overseer talk

  by hoser in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i went and listened to the circuit overseer talk last night.

  he started off by saying how many jws are in prisons in other countries and how we need to be prepared for when we are persecuted by the governments because it will happen "soon".

  near the end of the talk he got into how our own minds often imagine the very worst case scenario and that this isn't good.

  Prayer - The ultimate act of stupidity

  by Doltologist in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  prayer is the act of saying something to someone that doesn't exist.

  above all else, we need to respect ourselves for, if we don't, we are not capable of respecting others..

  thirdly, bow to no one for if they had any respect for you, they wouldn't ask you to bow..

  I agree with daniel. Although the desert god is a fraud, Thor and I talk all the time. He always says exactly what want to hear. Its amazing.
