  Game of Thrones - Shunning

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i waited a week to avoid any spoilers.. last week's episode was harsh, to say the least.. a live burning-at-the-stake of a child to please the gods.. and yet, we have conventions taking place around the world - with bravos to those parents who sacrifice the emotional well-being of their children by shunning them.

  clap-clap-clap.. what is worse, killing them outright, or the long, drawn-out emotional sacrifice demanded by the modern-day baal, gb 2.0?.

  Watchtower now Proudly Promoting the DIVINE Jesus

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the revised nwt has a footnote on john 1:1 showing that "a god" means "divine.".

  also, their other publications are now much more boldly referring to jesus as divine:.

  jesus--the way, the life, the truth (2015), page 306-307:.

  Who's will is it?

  in our super cappy fallacious public talk today.

  i kept hearing "we do jehovahs will" "do jehovahs will" "not our will...jehovahs" there was a lot of crap in the talk to be irritated by.

  but this got me thinking.... if you are required under penalty of death!

  I find it interesting that jw's compare the time the desert is allowing to pass to a court cass being made for mans rule. If you take the same court case analogy the desert god is guilty of coercion on all mankind, mafia style. In true darth vader fashion he offers "join me or die". Nice job outta you, shepherder diety.

  Its interesting i had a similar thought but it came from a different angle. After the episode i was talking with an appointed brother who watches the show as well (yea i know). I expressed my hope that stanks would pay for that with his life and how absolutly horrific it was that he did that at the direction of this red woman.... The brother (who has a youmg daughter himself!) sympathized with stanis and called it a hard choice!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was stunned beyond words but as i thought about it..... He would do the exact same thing if his little girl needed a blood transfusion. He would sacrifice her at the order of the org without hesitation.

  Malawi CRAP in April 15 2015 Watchtower

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  near the top of page 15 in the april 15, 2015 watchtower shows a photo of the malawi congress party card made the center of jws being severely persecuted in malawi in the 60s, 70s and 80s.

  the lie is furthered in this watchtower article is that the whole issue was over jws refusing to involve themselves in politics.

  readers who want to know the whole story of what caused this persecution are invited to consider evidence in the following article presentations: .

  Very imteresting read marvin. I appreciate the article from the malwain author as well. In Crisis of Conscience Ray Franz does an excellent job explaining that the us branch would have advised them buying the cards was fine, however the local brothers forbade it initially and the Brooklyn didnt want to overturn it. Awefull story of unessary loss and torture because of blindly following following fools who are following fools.

  My Way of Interpreting the Bible is the ONLY Right Way!

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  whether you are a christian, jew, undecided, agnostic, or atheist, isn't having the attitude that only ***your*** interpretation of the bible could be correct, or only ***you*** know what the bible means, -- .

  isn't this a form of closed-mindedness, arrogance, and a superiority complex?.

  in addition, isn't trying to force someone to conform to ***your*** interpretation of the bible the opposite of "freethinking?

  I cant believe you started another thread over this but I think the point is that you cant pick and choose what makes you feel warm fuzzy from the bible and ignore the parts that bother you all the while calling yourself a bible believer/christian

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  so today i was asked my thoughts on the pool party incident in mcminney, texas.

  my response: it shows a clash of expectations.

  i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

  black truth? Sigh.... My head hurts all over again. What is that? Is it different from white truth? Or asian truth? Or cat truth? Or flower truth? Has it ever occurred to you that your more obsessed with race than anyone around you, that maybe your the problem?

  Yea anyone who thinks theres a snowballs chance in hell of getting rid of lett proves only that they knowing about the org. If they dump a gb member it would be admitting he wasnt selected by HS. Never. Ever. Happen. Not just because hes a buffon. They knew that when they appointed him.
