Things about Jesus the Borg didn't tell us

by ozziepost in

has it ever troubled you when you read a scripture that tells you something about jesus that the borg doesn't?.

care to make a list?.

i'll start:.

Jesus had the hots for Mary Magdalene:

Luke 7.36?50 He likes it when she gives him a foot massage.

Mat. 27.56,61; 28; Mark 15.47; 16; Luke 8.2; 24; John 19.25; 20 She's one of only three people who stay with him while he dieds. She is, I believe one of the first people Jesus appears to after his ressurection and also she's the first person who finds the tomb of Jesus empty.

Now if Jesus was god in the flesh, then it's only natural that he'd have natural male urges. I'm not saying he acted on them. But, I bet he had a special affection for the girl.

What if????????? Why I don't believe in Jehovah!!!!!!

by frankiespeakin in

in the future our speices and many others speice of our earth and of our universe or a infinite number of universes would evolve to travel in time, not with the body but with the mind at will just for pure delight, what would happen to such a species?????

would they cease to exist?????

or would they go on growing inwardly for all enternity in an instant of time??????

I think it's pretty simple frankiespeakin; man wasn't made in god's image. God was made in man's image.

Just look at the beginning of the Decalogue:

I am the Lord your God , who have brought you out of Eygpt out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for you any engraved image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

You know what that sounds like to me? A scared, insecure, jealous guy, trying to pressure someone into loving him and then threatening to hurt the other person if they don't do what he wants ? that?s supposed to be from god?

And that's the first freaking commandment! You're telling me that came from the god of love? Yeah right, that came from some human trying to control others.

LEAST FAVORITE MEETING

by new light in

it's so hard to choose, but i would have to say the theocratic ministry school was my most hated meeting.

the first few talks were a rephrasing of mind-numbing society doctrine.

then it was time to listen to a ten-year old read nwt to us........... #3 talks, don't even get me started!

I dreaded all the meetings where we felt compelled to comment: the book study, the TMS, the Watchtower Study. I remember feeling like I had to comment at least once per meeting or I wouldn't be considered in good standing. It didn't really matter to me what I commented on or how completely I understood it -- just so I got it over with.

But I guess If I had to pick the very worst, it was the book study. My bookstudy was half way across town from where I lived, even though there were two closer to me. And I despised the elder who conducted it. He'd always make me read whatever book we were studying. And getting answers from the flock was just awful, like pulling teeth.

I remember several occasions when that particular elder flipped out on the members in attendance for not having prepared answers and I'd just be sitting up there on the stage next to him, hoping it'd be over soon.

Martha Stewart Guilty

by kls in

martha stewart found guilty on all four counts

MorpheuzX

If I were her, after I'd exhuasted the appeals process -- which will take years, I'd start transferring large sums of money into untraceable Swiss bank accounts; get on my private jet, with a few plastic surgeons, and head for Tahiti or Florence -- sounds better than doing 20 years in a federal pen.

NIT-PICK

i am riding on the same bus carrying a butt-load of x-jw's who take exception to the lies and mind-f@#%ing of the org.

i was blasted by some for asserting that there are hidden and subliminal images in the illustrations used in the wt publications, and that is fine.

i also understand that there are more important issues than hidden images in the wt publications.

MorpheuzX

I think I agree with Insomniac. Although in all fairness Hunyadi , I may have misunderstood your point. I often do.

As for threads being posted here that seem trivial, well isn't that one of the main reasons this exists? So that when we've left the borg we can stop being the automatons that we were so fastidiously programmed to be. Personally I usually enjoy both the frivolous and serious threads -- but that's just me.

When I was in college, by that time already an ex-JW, I shared a house with five guys and three girls. We lived in a small town and there wasn't much to do. I can recall quite a few occasions when somebody would say, "I'm bored. Let's get wasted." So we would, the fridge was always stocked with more alcohol than most bars had in inventory. This wasn't just a weekend thing. At times it was an every night thing -- like someone would say, "hey, it's Tuesday let's drink ourselves unconscious."

After about a semester or two of that I concluded that it wasn't in fact conducive to good health so I stopped. But I really don't see anything ethically, morally, legally or physically wrong with having one too many drinks on the odd occasion.

Did you ever catch an Elder doing something "Un-theocratic"?

by tazmaniac in

i remember finding 2 week old lottery tickets in a elders car i was working on.

he said they must have been from the previous owner.

he owned the car for over a year and a half and the lottery tickets were just a little over two weeks old.

Well this probably doesn't qualify, but I was once out in service with a circuit overseer, an elder and the elder's pioneer wife. It was a rainy day so we were doing return calls, instead of working territory and getting completely soaked.

Well if you've been in a situation like that you know that you're in a cramped car for most of three hours so you start talking. Well as the conversation progressed, the CO explained that it's okay to lie! But that the lie had to be told to "advance kingdom interest." This sparked an argument in the car-group, as the other elder didn't buy it. Well after field service we got back to the KH, went down to the library and the CO pulled out an old Watchtower that confirmed what he said. I was shocked. That was my first introduction to "theocratic warfare".

So is that theocratic or un-theocratic, I'm confused?
