  Religion loves misery. If those people are separated from their homeland and are suffering from severe psychological trauma then they are ripe for conversion.

  The Santa Claus Class! 🎅

  what we need is clarification.

  when caleb approached his mother and wants to know whether, in the resurrection, he will enjoy the heavenly hope or be a part of the "great crowd.

  as he looks at her with his piercing black eyes, she reminds him that jehovah can't lie.

  Do you use a dictionary?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my work, i rely upon google for quick answers on definition (denotation), pronunciation (audio), etymology, shades of meaning (connotation), etc.. what i really mean is, do you use an actual unabridged websters, the one you get a hernia lifting?

  i ask because, last night, i was tired of fighting with my two ailing computers and decided to pull the big book off the shelf.

  it was great, hearkening back to olden times -- childhood -- when i read real books and periodicals and wrote unknown words into a notepad (the paper sort) and pored over old noah's offerings.. your thoughts?.

  Same here. One thing I prefer with the Internet are the audio pronunciations. Beats phonetic script any day.

  Got a sense of humor? Help!

  nathan, outlaw.....all of you hilarious people...this means you!

  i believe in humor as an effective way to bring attention to an important topic.

  humor has made many people aware of the true nuttiness of the jw cult in the past (sign language masturbation video—went viral).. amazon allows humorous reviews and even showcases them.

  Even though there is a place for humor, I would rather put in serious reviews on most of their books.

  How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".

  "is he 'in the truth'?".

  most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

  That phrase is what got me disfellowshipped. I had told the elders that they should not be calling themselves "The Truth" even if they had true doctrines because that phrase applied to Jesus alone (John 14:6).

  To you I have to say
  

  You're going to grow old and gray

  Following the Watchtower way

  You're going to grow old and die

  Listening to the Watchtower lie

  Remember me on your last and final day

  Upon your death bed on which you lay

  You've finally grown old and soon will die

  Skin,
  

  Is this really happening? Can any non JW.Org people verify that this is happening? If real, is this also happening to other religions in this area?

  Pentecostals and religions other than the Russian Orthodox Church are being persecuted even to the point of having their buildings destroyed and being put in catch-22 predicaments.

  I wipe my filthy, diarrhea stained a$$ on the beard of the demon god who wrote Deuteronomy 22:13-21; 28-29; 21:7-11; and Numbers 15:32-36.

  By the way, I don't like him either.

  Jehovah God is Real

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.

  but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.

  yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..
