  River flowing from the garden of Eden

  by joey jojo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hey there.. if this point has been covered before please forgive me.. i have had the principles of noahs flood used by jw's to encourage me to attend meetings recently and this has got me musing about the flood....again.. genesis states that a river flowed from eden and branched out into four rivers, two of which being the tigris and the euphrates.. heres the baffling part; if it had never rained before, how is it that rivers existed before the flood?!!?.

  a brief google search tells us that the euphrates begins its journey as snow melt and rain ( as most rivers do) in mountains in turkey.. ecc chapter 1 mentions the water cycle and describes the rivers flowing into the sea but the sea not becoming full.

  how did it work pre-flood?

  2. bible

  so many things that i just discoved about the bible.. .

  so from the book my book of bible stories, we all know how little moses was saved from a cruel pharaoh.

  Your AVENGER is like a bad superhero that saves people here and there while killing animals and babies en masse while on the way. His morals are in contradiction to his own moral guidelines and are lesser than a good, though imperfect, human parent. Of course, you're a blind JW, so I don't expect you to be able to see or think for yourself, using that God given free will and brain.

  Lol, someone tried to preach at me last night about how God was just giving people of the nations a taste of their own medicine. Way to raise the bar and prove your ways are higher than theirs and your thoughts than their thoughts God!

  Another family needlessly torn apart

  by Visitor1984 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm feeling very angry tonight as i watched my mother in law end her relationship with my husband, her son, tonight.

  we were happily inactive, enjoying a distant but decent relationship with my in laws until they saw some christmas decorations and everything changed.

  i spent two hours getting drilled on whether my husband and i celebrate holidays, to be told that my laws won't socialize with us anymore.

  I'm really sorry. It shows that they have lost all natural affection, which they accuse "the world " of doing. It also shows that as the ARC tried to point out, you can't just walk away. You can fade, but you can't hide, and are subject to their rules, their game, unless you disassociate.

  Parody of Song 113: "We're No Longer Witnesses!"

  by TJ - iAmCleared2Land in

  1. social
  2. humour

  being in "the truth" forever, i keep (frustratingly) finding myself humming kingdom songs unintentionally.

  it frustrates me when i find myself doing it!.

  so today i got this song in my head, and couldn't get it unstuck, so i decided to write alternate lyrics to it... when i get that tune in my head now, i'll have words that work!

  What's your degree of anti-JWness?

  by Landy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is absolutely pro-jw, 5 is neutral and 10 is youtubing nutjob apostate, where do you stand?.

  i'm probably around a 6. i have the view that jws are a nothing marginal religion.

  if i hadn't been brought up as one i doubt they would have ever entered my consciousness.. the reasons it's a 6 and not a 5 is that i have some concerns over their child baptism and safeguarding procedures, but i think it's down to them being a bit dim rather than any pro child abusing ethos.

  Landy: When you start using terms like that (innocent children) you lose me. Can a child who's been the victim of abuse be anything other than innocent?
  You've used the term for effect to bolster your argument. It's unnecessary.

  Really, then you based your entire thread on such an "unnecessary" bolstering term that showed your true colors:

  Landy: So, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is absolutely pro-JW, 5 is neutral and 10 is youtubing nutjob apostate, where do you stand?

  Why isn't a 1 an "absolutely nutjob pro-JW" but a 10 includes such terms as nutjob as a qualifier? Data-dog nailed you. I believe somewhere on here fisherman and Richard Oliver are having a compassion-less technicality orgy and your presence is likely requested. It shows a lot that you would nitpick at the terms used to compassionately describe children while inserting your own in other contexts. You really know what the important things are, don't you.

  Just for the sake of answering the question, removing the word nutjob that was merely there to indicate Landy's own prejudices, I vacillate between a 7 and 9, most likely, depending on my mood that day and what has hit me. I have no plans to be an activist, i.e. a 10 and to go all in, but I like to help people that are trying to leave and I do hate the organization that I left some days.

  Don't do it Listener! Insert pic of Admiral Akbar from Star Wars saying "It's a trap!!!" here.

  Fisherman is a master baiter. You shouldn't have invoked his name.

  @OrphanCrow - Right near the beginning of the last guy that asked the question about them showing empathy and not waiting until 2018 to step up. Somewhere right at the beginning of him addressing the two losers did it accidentally cut to Angus and at least in real time both my wife and I noticed that he appeared to be laughing, smiling greatly, whatever you choose to call it. You could tell that he saw them as ridiculous even during questioning.

  what is the exact live streaming site for the arc today in sydney?

  i hope someone or more here will be watching and giving info/quips throughout the case.

  also, will someone here or elsewhere be able to 'save' a video of this (all or part).

  @Pubsinger - Your concern about what can really happen is warranted. However, every exposure of who JWs really are helps. It helps other governments take note. It builds cases against them. Maybe more importantly, these videos wake people up. Round one helped me tremendously, and others as well, to leave the cult. If that is the only power it has, it was worth it.
