God & JW can't exist without "evil"
by thedepressedsoul ini was thinking the other day that so far jw's and god have always needed or relied on "evil" to get items done or taken care of.
almost every bible prophecy and jw teaching would not exist without "evil".. let's take the prophecy of jesus for example, it would not have been fulfilled without evil.
when you think about it, he was a needed evil in order for prophecy to be fulfilled.

I'm my favorite type of JW - Double Life
by thedepressedsoul inthe borg's tactics on most jw work.
they put fear into their mind, they guilt trip them and basically make them scared to do anything when they are away from the kingdom hall.
it allows them to control every aspect of their life.

Interesting point about elders appointment by holy spirit (apostacy case)
by joe134cd ini was just listening to a jc for apostasy on jwstruggle.
the issue was raised if elders are appointed by holy spirit, then why is there such an issue with sex abuse.
the answer was given (and i thought it was quite true) well jesus was the son of god and he appointed judas under holy spirit, just to have him turn on him.

Notsurewheretogo nailed it. There is a WORLD of differance between someone who turns out bad, like king saul, and someone who is already doing bad things being selected by holy spirit. Practically speaking judas wasnt bad when selected. The jw's would argue that although it was prophesied someone would betray the christ it wasnt fortold who nor did jesus pick him knowing in advance. Plenty of elders have been appointed while doing evil things secretly. Holy spirit is ineffective at best. -

How to Choose a Wife!
by snugglebunny inback in the day, when my family moved to a new congregation, i fell head over heels with a young sister who was an elder's daughter.
it wasn't long before we were talking about marriage and i was contemplating buying her an engagement ring.
my parents were not happy at all.

Chronically lazy, needy and selfish is standard in my observations. The org teaches people in general to focus on giving to the org and all other things are added. -

Strange in the real world yes, in dubbie land no. Its standard operating procedure to make sure your prospective "mate" is up to par, cult wise. See tight pants tony remarks regarding sisters not marrying some who isnt at least a MS -

Thank you for the link, that does seem pretty big but i need to think about the implications....
one that jumps to mind is that jesus supposedly inspected and choose them in 1919 and they use a bunch of trumpet blasts in revelation to prove it... So is that all gone now? They also used that tripe to justify themselves as being choosen the faithful slave. So is that gone? How do they prove they were choosen if it wasnt after the temple inspection ?? The more im thinking on this the more it seems a pretty big deal
