  What would a Psychoanalyst think about Jehovah's mental health condition?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think he would definitely diagnose him with a extremely violent form of narcissism, lugging around a huge shadow of denial, which makes him petty and homophobic, and those 100,000 animal sacrifice orgies he so very much enjoys are a sign of a serious greedy glutton.

  no doubt this voracious hunger for burnt flesh of lowly animals stems from the energy need after he experiences a uncontrollable bursts of anger creating a vicious cycle he can not break free of so that the only thing that can save him and turn him less violent is a human sacrifice from his heavenly son incarnate to quell his terrible anger.. maybe some form of oedipus complex too?.

  It might be my vision but it's a little hard to recognize the avatar as a bridge. The small size of our avatars require a contrast particularly between light and dark colors.

  35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ - Matthew 25:35-36 New International Version

  So give them some water, give them some bread but give them pinkie rings and Rolex watches?

  merk ch 16 says all believers of jesus will perform miracles....

  by sowhatnow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  15 he said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

  16 whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

  17 and these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.. 19 after the lord jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of god.

  The book of Mark has two alternative endings, depending on the manuscript, indicating that one of those endings was not part of the original. The footnote on that scripture in the New International Version says:

  "Mark 16:8 Some manuscripts have the following ending between verses 8 and 9, and one manuscript has it after verse 8 (omitting verses 9-20): Then they quickly reported all these instructions to those around Peter. After this, Jesus himself also sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen."

  So that part of the scripture may not be 'authentic'.

  We Lost Our Preaching MOJO, how do we get it back? 

  by skepticSam in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone have any theories why our territory that's be reduced six or seven times over the last twenty years is not covered anymore?

  we use to cover our area in less than six months and now nobody really keeps track of how the preaching work by territory is going.

  is the advent of the mobile-literature machine why we don't see a zealous preaching spirit?

  millie210: "If need be, the rocks will cry out."

  Maybe they should put some of those rocks in their literature carts.

  skepticSam,

  "We Lost Our Preaching MOJO, how do we get it back?"

  "...what are we going to do to get people motivated to preach more?"

  Why should we want them to improve their performance?

  Churches use facial recognition software to track congregants

  by truthseeker in

  http://rt.com/news/270121-church-facial-recognition-software/.

  churches are joining the widening club of entities using big brother-style facial recognition software to track people.

  and they are doing so in secret, according to a producer of a specialized program designed for religious institutions.. churchix uses cctv footage or photos to match churchgoers against a database of high-resolution pictures that a church has to compile on its own.

  There's something very bizarre about Watchtower's use of the word pioneer.

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have researched the meaning of the word pioneer in a number of online references.

  none of the meanings seem to match watchtower's use of the word.

  the word refers to persons who are trailblazers; persons who are the first to settle new territory; persons who initiate some new field or technology.. jws' use of the term to refer to publishers who spend a long time preaching every month, does not in the slightest bit, match the definition.

  I don't know how early the JWs started using the word but if it was adopted in the early to mid 20th century when their numbers were low then it could be understandable how "pioneers" would be the ones to take the lead in the preaching work.

  By the way, the Soviet Union used the word pioneer in reference to their youth organizations.
