Won't get fooled again ...Moon Landing.

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

so i was fooled by the witnesses.

what can i learn from that?

not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

Pangea and Anti-Matter

by John Aquila in

did anyone here get to hear the talk you will be with me in paradise by ciro aulicino in 2007 at the summer convention?

i found part of the talk in youtube.

oh the memories!!

JeffT, the flaw with your calculations is that only a tiny bit of antimatter per body is necessary to incinerate, not vaporize, the corpse (Think of cremation). I'm sure less than a picogram of AM per body would be sufficient.

Nonetheless, it is a ridiculous idea since ants would multiply tremendously in a short amount of time and consume the bodies. Then there will be a massive die off of ants.

i made my sister cry :(

so lately i've felt so frustrated and overwhelmed that i had to tell someone how i felt.

my parents were gone so i decided to talk to my sister.

we've always been close so i thought i could trust her because we have talked about it before.

Village Idiot

Folks, someone as hysterical as her sister cannot be reasoned with. It's best for BlackWolf to withdraw from that situation and wait for a time in which she's in a stronger position as respects to her situation at home. She's still living with her family.

Lay cool and pretend you never had that conversation with her. She sounds as if she would tell your parents under the slightest provocation. Don't bring up anything to anyone in your family until you're ready to move out on your own.

One always has to keep in mind how a non JW would react to silliness in a video when the subject is a serious one. It's best to make these videos with a non-JW audience in mind.

Edit: JWfacts does have a better video

Serious question about the Australian RC and the WTBTS.

by DATA-DOG in

i have not been in a position to watch all of the interviews, so i'm sure that i missed a few things.

here is my question.

were either elders or ministerial servants accused of sexually abusing children, or were the accused just lowly r&f publishers or bible studies?

Village Idiot

That one listed circuit overseer is scary. They go from congregation to congregation.

Don't know if it was intended to be comical but I didn't like the talking head thing. It would have been better as an audio with carefully selected still images showing assorted pictures from their literature.

"As a matter of Conscience" - Sail Away.

by quincemyles in

i am encouraged by sail away to take steps to officially distance myself from the tenets of the jws.

i can no longer bear the thought of my being associated with their policies.. i too will give them a letter this week to dissociate, while circumventing their shunning cruelty.. i will simply write:.

dear sirs,.

Village Idiot

I agree with brandnew. Fading is the best option. Try a quick fade if the situation is unbearable. I regret not having done it and writing a letter that they perceived to be a challenge to their authority.

The Kingdom Halls are empty

by punkofnice in

my jw spies tell me that the kingdom halls are empty compared to how they used to be, since i left 5 years ago.

not saying they're empty because of me though.. is that what you are hearing?.

Designer Stubble:

"So growth of the organization is not keeping up with the population growth."

In all fairness that might be because of immigration combined with a low birth rate amongst Australians. If immigrants have a proportionally low number of JWs then they're not replenishing their numbers through that type of increase.

But why would Witnesses not likely be immigrants? Because of the disproportionate amount of poverty in that religion. Poor people, who have no skills or anything to offer to the country, aren't likely to be accepted by picky Immigration officers.

There is also a disproportionate number of elderly people in the JWs and they're also not likely to be accepted as citizens due to their becoming a burden to the nation.

Canada might be a similar country in that respect. I heard that it's enormously difficult for anyone to immigrate there if they're over 40. Canadian officials also skew their immigrants based on whether their professionals or businessmen.
