  well is it wrong to go out and plan on getting drunk,,,,,,tipsy,,,,,,,,,,,mellow,,,,,,,,,or "merry in heart" as the bible puts it??????

  i know that some people have addiction problems with alcohol and i dont mean to offend anyone,,,,,but there are alot of folks who on a weekend here and there, drink and just let loose.

  One of the best parts of getting plastered is finding out what you did the next day.

  LMAO at Saint Satan, have you heard of "binary-thinkers". I think being one of those is a requirement of being an elder.

  There was a kitchen and a downstairs two-room apartment in my KH. At first it was occupied by the PO, and then after him a elder who was pioneering, and then after him two sister pioneers.

  We'd go down there almost everyday between morning and afternoon field service and have lunch, hang out. It was fun now that I think of it.

  This was suppose to be with my first post on this subject, but didn't work for some reason, so here it is continued.

  When I was a JW at my last congregation, I was very close friends with two elders, one was the PO, and the other was a full-time pioneer. They were the only two elders, out of 12, that I could stand. The rest of them were all on power trips. Now the following story isn't a "horror story" it just illustrates my point. When I was 17 I was an auxiliary pioneer (back before the hours were reduced.) One day I had just finished giving a talk and an elder came up to me and told me that if I didn't get a hair cut I'd not be considered in good standing!!!! My hair was freaking short already. He just wanted to boss me around. And I think he was annoyed because I was consistently turning in more hours, conducting more studies, giving more and better talks than any of the elders' sons were. That was just their little way of keeping me in check.

  Stupid me at the time, I just went and did what he said. Today I would have taken out my bible and said show me where Jesus said that. But, I was pretty well brain-washed back then.

  Anyway, if I can digress from my digression, the elder mentality is a pure power trip.

  The elder mentality is simply this, "I'm better than you." I guess I was in four different congregations through out my JW life and almost without deviation the "elders" were uneducated, middle-aged men, working menial jobs or employed as unskilled laborers. It was also common for the elders to be interrelated -- siblings, brothers in law, and fathers in law. It was very much a clique. In fact, in my last congregation virtually the only way to become an elder was to be the son of an elder or to marry the daughter of an elder.

  I can't generalize and say all elders were haughty and moronic. They were not all that way. But most of them were. Can you say power-trip? To me this is a recipe for disaster: take five to ten uneducated men who've generally accomplished nothing in their lives, place them in an elevated position of authority and watch the chaos ensue.

  i just got this thought that we're like a huge soap opera to god and other spiritual beings.

  if the almighty makes it all perfect and joyful, then how the heck will he/they get entertained?!.

  in other words, the almighty powers that be aren't interested in the least bit in making things happy and perfect for all because we're like a huge spectacle for them to watch for ever and ever.. alright, there goes my sanity for today.. dy

  I don't know if someone mentioned this earlier, cause no I didn't read through all the replies. But wasn't that very premise a Southpark episode a few years back?

  Enumerate reasons why the JW's are Hated or Disliked

  enumerate a few reasons why people dislike them.

  I found most JWs wanted to be hated and disliked. That's how they felt they were doing what's right. Unfortunately for them they just didn't realize they were being jerks by constantly relating everything to religion, or knocking on people's doors at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning.

  I mean, don't poke a sleeping dog with at stick and then get surprised when it barks at you. The witnesses seem to be masters at being petulant, self-righteous morons -- generally that's not a very affable combo.

  The God of Christians is Very Vague

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i no longer consider myself a christian.. i feel that there may be a god, but if there is, he's not the god christians worship, for such a god makes no sense.. if as the bible says we need to have faith in jesus to get everlasting life,,, why would this god make it so misleading and leave so much room for ligitmate doubt,,, by having this information passed on to us by men and organizations that have not been totally honest????.

  why would he use the bible to relate this information, when the bible is so full of errors????

  the evidence is very clear that the bible has been tampered with over the centuries, so that a reasonable person can have legitimate doubts about the bible's origins.. also, why would god use men who are so prone to dishonesty, to convey this lifesaving information?.

  This would be a lot easier if god would get a 1-800 number, preferably toll free. God's omniscient and omnipotent, right? So how hard could it be?
