George Bush on "Meet the Press"

by RubaDub in

wow.... .

i'm surprised by the lack of comment on bush's appearance on the show "meet the press.".

i was expecting the conserveatives to be praising his rousing comments in the interview.

Bush is not a liberal or a conservative. He is a puppet for the Corporate Technocracy. The Corporate Technocracy runs the world now. The CT has two constituencies. One is the share holders that keep them (individually) in power and two is the Christian Conservatives that keep voting for their CT Puppets that masquerade under the guise of Republican pro-lifers.

Now the CT needs more than the just Christian vote to keep a hold of the white house, so they are turning to the hispanics also and figure that the Christians hate abortion more than they hate hispanics. On with the march of the Corporate Technocracy. 1984 will get here within 15 years by my guess. That is unless we can get a JFK type on the campaign trail to educate the masses and crush the corporate technocracy.

John Edwards perked my ears back around October when he attacked the corporate technocracy so thats when I started getting my hopes up about him but I figured the CT would pull some skeletons out of the closet and shoot him down. For a while there he carried only 1% of democratic voters so it didnt seem to matter. I really hope he pulls it and turns out to be the real deal and crushes the corporate technocracy.

How Worldy Are You?

by Golf in

basically, i have had more contacts and relationships in my lifetime with worldy people than jw's.

does this make me a worldy person?

i even married a worldly girl.

FirstInLine

Worldly is a somewhat archaic term that the JW misapply to mean everyone that isnt a JW.

Worldly is in the past would be close to what we would call streetwise. It has to do with pride, being opportunistic, getting ahead by taking advantage, hedonistic, not sacrificing, basically being your own god. All the warm and fuzzy traits that make a well rounded corporate executive.

I have thought about this before. I have tried to be worldly and I am just not all that worldly at heart. I do alot of things that dubs would call worldly but in reality are things everyone does, even dubs.

My Grandmothers Funeral/memorial

by FirstInLine in

my old jw grandmother passed away recently so i went to the demon er dingdong i mean kingdumb hall for the memorial.

and the dupes er fools i mean bafoons kept throwing the word truth around like 12 year olds say dude.. most of them assumed i was also a fellow dub.

my grandparents are and my mom is so i guess its natural to assume full heredity of foolishness.

FirstInLine

Wouldnt the world be such a better place if everyone was like a JW.

"Oh Im so glad we finally got a Lutheran in the white house. You know those catholics they cant handle executive positions. If Kennedy were only a protestant he would still be carrying around all his gray matter. That wicked man got what he deserved."

"Oh you are soooo right. Just the other day my mailman told me he wanted to be a Lawyer but his guidance counselor told him that a baptist would be much better off as a mailman. Its a good thing he wasn't a Seventh Day Adventist."

(btw I like JFK alot so I used him for satirical effect only, I happen to think he was our best president since Jefferson)

How to take down the WTS. Maybe for good.

by avishai in

jw
friends

i just heard the most brilliant plan ever.

we draft an all purpose legal document to send to the wts stating that "i,__________ do not want any jw's ever coming to my door, please put me on the do not call list and send this to the congregation nearest me, if they do, i will construe this as harrasment and act accordingly" .

then we pass these out, do a mass mailing, give them to all of our friends, encourage people to make copies and give them to their friends, call it the sleep in on saturday document.

FirstInLine

You forget that all the JWs have to do channel their money to a new corporate name and change a few other names and then presto they can come back. And they will deny that they are JWs

Most of them assumed I was also a fellow dub. My grandparents are and my mom is so I guess its natural to assume full heredity of foolishness. (Sorry, they have been fooled so that makes them fools) Anyway I hadnt been around these people in so long and I was so much younger and naive when I knew the types that I never noticed just how completely ignorant they are. I mean I knew they were ignorant but -- damn. Some of the things they said to me assuming I was a fellow fungus.

I mentioned to one that asked my occupation about being a prison guard and she was like

"oh well thats good that they will have a witness. Its much better that they have a witness doing that job."

And Im starring at her stunned now and she tries to explain further saying stuff like "oh yeah you cant trust those worldly people to do that job they are corrupt and do all sorts of bad things."

So Im basically just trying to help her gets some of the words back up into her ass now where they came from, "So you are saying that a witness is better at being a prison guard than a non witness?"

"Oh yes, exactly!"

I wanted to say, actually I wouldnt want to be a prison guard with a witness. They would turn the other cheek while I was getting jumped 10 inmates so the witness can work there own cell block as far as Im concerned.

But I just said "I really dont see how a person's religion would be relevant to their performance as a prison guard."

and she said "You dont?"

I said "No, I would prefer to simply have some one who has been properly trained, knows how to do their job and can do it with rapid efficiency."

And her husband is nodding his head in massive agreement as Im laying down reality for the newborn JW expert on everything. And she staggers away with hubby, not quite sure why she feels like such an idiot.

JWs and their supremacy nonsense just never ends. As soon as you think it cant possibly rear its silly little head it does once again.

Jesus' Relationship to God

by RE in

the following was revealed to me from god, through constant prayer asking for an understanding of jesus' relationship to god.. .

using what i currently understand about philosophy, science and religion, where philosophy is an attempt to understand logic, science is an attempt to understand nature, and religion is an attempt to understand divinity.

i have come to the conclusion that we cannot comprehend the enormity, expanse, makeup, power, or greatness of (the universe).

FirstInLine

RE,

Your Pantheistic interpretations are noteworthy but not valid biblically. God is defined as all that exists that was not created. Therefore we are not part of God from a biblical perspective.

I do like your description of Jesus' relationship to God. Its very keen. I wouldn't go so far as to call Jesus just a part of God but the simplicity of how you say God is understood by Jesus is pretty effective IMO.

JW, a Protestant Religion

by Gerard in

i was just surfing thefreedictionary.com and found their definition of jehovah witnesses: a protestant denomination (!?!?

protestant denomination

noun

FirstInLine

Yeah, like what dont they protest. They are protestant of protestant.

The only thing they won't protest is being praised. They love praise more than anything else and when people don't actually praise them leave it to the talk giver at the district convention to talk of the praise that Jehovah's people bring to Jehovah's organization and his people.

Have You Renounced Everything Jehovah's Witnesses Believe In?

by minimus in

jw
friends

now that you don't practice the religion, is it safe to say that you reject everything that you were taught??

?

FirstInLine

As I did some Bible studyin' in my post dub years I found that EVERY point of contention the JWs have with "Christendom" is a checkmark in the loss column for the dubs. Yes I renounce all JWisms even Jehovah God, Jehovah of Armies, and especially Jehovah. The name that is, not any happless deities caught up in any said fiasco of fools.

There is a reason that Christian churches teach immortal soul, trinity and hell (eternal concious damnation) its because this is what you get from reading the bible.

to the Woman that was thinking of checking out Seventh Day Adventist: SDA is basically a Mix of JW and Southern Baptist, complete with false prophecies, an abbreviated stint in the lake of fire for heathens and of course the moley ol' trinity.
