  What kind of person was Nathan H. Knorr?

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we have several examples in the forum showing that president knorr was not a loving and caring person; one that impressed me was the one about the elderly bethelite that was put out on the streets until his death due to a disagreement with knorr.

  i bring to your attention an incident that happened in the country of honduras back in the 50s, it has to do with immoral conduct by a branch overseer and his subsequent disfellowshiping.

  i am not critical of the end result of his conduct but rather the salacious and detailed report of this matter putting in the open the details for the whole world to see.

  "...about the elderly Bethelite that was put out on the streets until his death due to a disagreement with Knorr."

  Slightly surprised to hear that. Sounds like something that only Joseph Rutherford would do.

  What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

  by paul from cleveland in

  i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

  i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

  i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.

  In general I would say herd but if it's for a legal paper you might try something fancy like "tribalistic".

  I kept quiet when it was an elderly lady at my door that I knew had been a JW all her life. I have also passed street witnesses with mixed results.

  I passed one at the supermarket and simply told him, in his language: "Your religion is false". That was as much as I wanted to tell him. Another one was in a wheelchair and my pity for him kept me from saying much.

  I have yet to be aggressive (in a polite manner) with anyone. I keep telling myself that I should say something of substance but I'm a non-confrontational person at heart. Damn!

  Another anti-biblical document that is easy to read is: A Most Evil and Stupid Book: The Moral Depravity, Absurdities and Contradictions of the Bible.

  It's authored by yours truly.

  to me honestly this would of been prohibited 10 years ago, but now every dub is obsessed with this website, it's everywhere even a damn iphone cover... ooh they don't approve of idolatry ooh no they don't accept cross veneration thats bullshit to me!!!

  its getting to a point that they are venerating this website (company logo) it's their version of the cross.

  Ironic. I remember once, about 20 years ago, the JW manager of my apartment complex flying a made to order flag that had a lighthouse (closest thing to a watchtower) beaming a shaft of light on a tiny cottage (Her home?).

  Most of the JWs in that apartment complex are or were JWs. It was taken down shortly. Me thinks it was an elder counseling her not to engage in borderline idolatry.

  We may have interbred with Neanderthals earlier than previously thought.

  by cappytan in

  2. friends

  it is now thought that we have been interbreeding with neanderthals as early as 100,000 years ago.. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661.

  craziest thing i just realized: some women still breed with neanderthals up to this day.

  rihanna and chris brown anyone?.

  I've heard that Latino broadcasts can be graphic. That scene of a charred body would not do go well here in the U.S..

  the world is filled with superstitious people.

  and some of the most superstitious are jehovah's witnesses.. remember, i didn't say they alone are the most superstitious, nor did i say they are on an island.

  how do we know that this is true?
