  A ship (no matter how big) will ultimately sink if it has a hole

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  humanity is like a ship, and holes are our hobbies (lust, greed etc.

  which are fondly renamed as each one likes) which always have been outperforming what science could accomplish!

  most of the greater or significant scientific achievements started from 19th centurymay be with the commercial transmission of electricity!

  To piggy back on gordinos thought, Your thread title is incorrect. Most modern ships have a number of inlets for a variety of purposes. They dont sink. Even excluding designed inlets, ships don't automatically sink from a hole. They only sink if the ships ablity to pump the water back out is overcome. Thats all i really care to bother with in that long diatribe. If you cant even get your opening illustration right i cant be bothered to help you with the rest.

  ok here is my 2 cents they are getting complaints concerning the drum beat that goes we are in the last hour of last min bla bla bla and people are tired and want system to end so if the system is ended sooon then why are there new partakers assuming that most have the actually calling.

  so now we have a problem how do we fix it?

  simple just say those new annointed are not part of this generation so now if we appoint younger guys to gb not to worry there not a part of this generation.

  I think at its most basic level the reason they are repeating it is because nobody understands it. Theres a lot of head scratching over it locally and everytime they bring it up it only makes it worse. Keep bringing it fellas, your only making it easier for me ;)

  TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

  by Designer Stubble in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

  david spane does his best to explain it again.

  the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

  This is one of the thing thats that really woke me up. I had to conduct this watchtower study and was embarrassed at having to explain something ao plainly wrong and stupid. It still infirates me thinking about it

  "One reason that I support her is that gays came down from Ohio to that county just to cause trouble. If they just cared about their marriage, just go to a state that allows SS unions. "

  I can understand that. There is a certain "in your face" element to the way some have carried on in the wake of the SC decision. Even DJS and VIV, two posters i like and enjoy chatting with, have admitted to gleefully gloating and cheering the jailing of this dilly woman in the same sort of "in your face" spirit... but in the end, so what? If they purposely came to her jurisdiction to get their marriage licenses, she could have chosen to be the bigger person, roll her eyes and issue them. Wish them a good day and tell them to move along. instead she choose to insinuate herself into the political realm on her job, to make commentary instead of adhering to the law and doing her duty. if its that big an issue, take a principled stand and resign. thats courageous. thats being a martyr for the cause. I could respect that. what i can't respect is being against people eating pork and then having a job at a barbecue joint and refusing to serve me pork because you don't want me to eat it.

  The law cannot legislate belief nor attitude, only conduct.

  Its also curious that some are saying the jusge attacksd a religious belief... Really? Shes no longer allowed to disaprove of gays?she wasnt jailed for a belief. She was jailed for not Doing her job.

  She is allowed to believing eating a pork is a sin. However she can not have a job at a barbecue place and refuse to serve pork and expect to keep her job. She is free to keep her belief and get another job if serving pork offends her. She is free to let people make their own decisions and deal with her gods consequences. Her own apostle paul said, at romans 14:4

  CEV

  What right do you have to criticize someone else’s servants? Only their Lord can decide if they are doing right, and the Lord will make sure that they do right.

  She is under no obligation to male sure others dont eat pork. Its their choice, their consequences.

  Im finding it harder and harder to believe that a simple minded county clerk in the middle of bum screw america is still such a hot topic. She never stood a chance of blocking any legal marriage in the long term. It was doomed to faliure. Giving her attention despite her clear and obvious legal defeat only makes her supporters feel somehow vindicated that she was persecuted or however they want to spin it. I give her the same eye roll of disbelief that i would give a person speeds past a red light in front of cop. Your going to jail and you deserve it. Its not worth two inchs of news space beyond that

  do you have feelings of hopelessness and fear for not having a religion?.

  do you envy happy jehovah witnesses and living their lives carefree?.

  2015,

  I went through some serious feelings of unease, fear, loss, depression and even, once at a very low point, suicidal feelings.

  It passes. It gets better. Soooo much better! Ive never been happier and more empowered, and i was a pretty cocky and confident person in the cult as it was :) the anxiety and fear comes from having from your support and cooping mechanisms taken away (meaning you cant relie on the org or the desert god to handle things for you)

  focus on developing new stratagies for handling things, thinking things through. It really does get better!
