  LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

  as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

  since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.

  hey c'mon - doesn't anyone get the joke here - 'You Know' is the 'devils advocate' - he is no more an active JW than any of us ...

  for those of you who are thinking of leaving the borg.. here's the thing: we are trained in that organization to doubt ourselves.

  we are trained not to question.

  ex-JW's : Would you go to war?

  by Jim Lad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my ex-brother in law phoned this morning and asked me how i felt about going to war now that i'm not in the org anymore.

  with so many years of being told not to i wonder how many of us still feel that way.

  would you be worldly conscientious objectors or would you defend...etc.... i'm not trying to antaganize or be inappropriate.

  Welcome to the Great Tribulation, Folks!

  by chipster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i was in the dentists chair this morning, i got the news and my heart just sank.

  i think of all those poor people and their grieving families, and my heart goes out to them.. well, you know, i have to say this: ....my money is on you.. i think you nailed it this time.... what is the verse about them "growing faint out of fear"???.

  all i can say is..stay tuned.....you guys ain't seen nothing yet..... the fun begins when the terrorists are identified and recompense is sought by the united states.. oh, and not to mention the ramifications in the global markets..... yep, like i said folks...."welcome to the gt.....and the finale is the big a"... this is a day that will go down in world history.. chipster

  i am genuinely disturbed by this posting - to say about you 'think of all those poor people and their grieving families, and my heart goes out to them' and then to immediately refer to 'fun beginning' is callous and shallow to say the least - do you really think that jehovah would approve of such an attitude ? ... like others here, i am so pleased to no longer have the superior, self praising attitude of someone who believes they know everything but in reality knows very little at all ... you should be reported to the trades description authorities ...

  yes - it's friday night - it's peak-viewing time and a brand new sit-com is about to hit the small screen .... set in the local kingdom hall, all your favourite characters are here - wacky, wonderful, cuddly, humourous and also the nasty ones who (by the end of the half-hour slot) get their come-uppance .... how to play .... take inspiration from your fave classic sit-com and mix it up with some real-life person you have known and loved and maybe not loved at all .... eg ... father jack, from the classic 'father ted' - stands at the back of the hall with a mike, ignoring all the eager hands waiting to answer up and instead shouts out 'feck!

  ' and 'arse' ... .

  awh, go on ... go on ... go on ... go on ...

  tr - quite an artist ... poor old fred is trying his hardest to encourage us back to the hall with his agape stuff ...

  jiggrigger - but ned wouldn't be able to lie about not having received any of the more expensive literature and holding it back only for family and influential elders ... heehee ...

  hey MrMoe - you are the kind of 'witness' i was always looking to meet and never did - good at least to 'virtually' meet you

  Re Ray Franz - i just finished reading Crisis of Conscience and it has been a truly life-changing experience for me - i plan to buy his other book pretty soon too

  Re the bitter and twisted comments from others - are these designed to lure people like me (ie 'fallen away' ones) back to the loving congregation ? ...
