I guess the reason for posting it is in the title's thread, Comatose. I watched the whole thing, but don't buy into any of it. For me it is so manipulative - just another emotional blackmailing attempt to guilt people into becomeing true/real Christians.

Good demonstration of mass hysteria in that second video, and if some other religious/spiritual group was displaying the same behaviour they'd be accused of demonic possession by those same Christians.

Christmas is WRONG!
by thesaint inyou all should be ashamed of your egotistical selves.
how can you leave god's organization to celebrate the work of satan the devil?
it just goes to show you how jehovah's christian witnesses are correct about how persons will leave the truth for their own selfish desires.. first off, christmas is a pagan holiday and it proves no spirit with the almighty jehovah and his son, the christ.

thesaint's phraseology, not to mention his screen name, betrays him - not a real JW. The "holy Governing Body"? The "holy WatchTower publications"? Jehovah's "holy church"? Come on man! Nice try though. Even over-the-top rants brings out the looniness of the JWs so that real JW lurkers can see themselves, so thanks for that. And if by some small chance you are for real then this proves the JWs ARE religious extremists. And you've done such a good job of illustrating this I would nominate you as its poster boy.
Someone is having some fun by spreading some demented Christmas cheer to those who relish bashing (and rightfully so) the WT and its minions. Your Christmas gift to this forum is much appreciated. Happy New Year, and a belated Merry Christmas from me.

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it's worth reflecting on the death of A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON WHICH ALMOST WENT UNNOTICED last week. Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "the Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. AND THEN THE TROUBLE STARTED.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Thank you everyone for your kind expressions of sympathy. I have found the loss of my siblings tougher to get over than losing my parents. Sue was an ideal sister, who always let me know she loved me and gave me unconditional support. Growing up she always made me feel appreciated and safe, and never failed to treat her "birthday present" with kindness.

What's With INVISIBLE ??
by Cold Steel inthe 'dubs' came by today just as the wife and i were on the way out.
we chatted a few moments and the two guys wanted to know if i had any questions about the bible.
so i asked them to drop by in a day or two and they left me with two thin magazines and a book they jokingly referred to as "the gold nugget.".

Its genious is that it can't be disproven.
If someone makes the claim Jesus came invisibly then the burden of proof rests with them, so ask them to show you the proof.

Ever consider joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
by rawe inhas anyone here left jehovah's witnesses to join the churuch of jesus christ of latter-day saints?
what was your motivation for doing so and how has it worked out?.
if you haven't joined the lds or considered it, as an ex-jw, what is your general view of the lds faith?.

One of the first things I do when they come to talk is get them to tell me their first name. Then they can't use their "elder" title as some sort of buffer between us. Titles are artificial barriers that tend to keep people at arm's length. I like to butter them up by telling them I admire how they show dedication to their beliefs through their missionary works and how they value education so highly, unlike some religions like the JWs. After I've gotten them on my side I bring up the idea of shunning, giving the example of the JWs and get them to verbalize that it isn't right. And then I get them to admit that they themselves shun people who leave. They usually will say that it does happen, but it isn't part of their official teaching as something they should do. Then I bring up the fact that there is no DNA evidence to support their belief about a connection to the ancienct Jews.

Good for you. Enjoy getting your tree, decorating it, buying presents for your loved ones, exchanging gifts, singing holiday songs, watching Christmas movies, and the joy of your family as it celebrates Christmas, and screw the Gestapo and their minions who would seek to deprive you of spreading cheer and generosity onto others.
