Using the term "Watchtower" when talking to a JW

by Sanchy in

jw

has anyone else noticed how alarm bells go off inside a jw mind as soon as they hear someone that "is out" refer to the leaders of this org as "watchtower"?

i've chatted with a few friends now about my doubts and each and every time i've started using phrases such as "watchtower said this" or "watchtower did that", i can almost see their heads about to explode in anger, as if they've just realized they are talking to the lucifer himself.

some have even interrupted and corrected me by reminding me that it's not "watchtower", it's "god's organization".

I like to use the phrase "the printing company" this usually creates interesting reactions.

Found Another Medieval Coin This Evening

by cofty in

i got in an hour metal detecting this evening and found this almost immediately.. it is a silver penny of henry ii minted in london by "davi" between 1180 and 1189. this adds a king i didn't have in my collection.

i now have the series of henry ii - john - henry iii - edward i - edward ii - edward iii.. i now need richard the lionheart to fill in the gap.

he was the brother of john and reigned after the death of henry ii.

You are so lucky to have a site like that. I would cover that whole area in a grid pattern. I to metal detect. Oldest coin I found was a 1787 new jersey penny, states had their own money.

Animals not meant to eat meat

by Carl in

jw don't believe in evolution .

how come animals teeth are designed to chew meat?

sharks for instance have razor sharp pointy teeth these are not to eat vegetation .

moomanchu

Say God had animals start to eat meat post sin or post flood,

why would he have these animals break his own laws regarding blood?

Especially these animals and bugs.

Vampire Bat

Lamprey

Vampire Finch

Oxpecker

Bedbug

Mosquito

" you will never grow old..." a more grievous lie is hard to imagine.

i heard this one first in 1957. i was 6. my mother had just converted.

i heard it many times after that.

You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.

"Millions now living will never die"

Satan only lied to one person!

Look at the sentence Satan was given.

Leaders of the Watchtower do you not fear God?

Islam is a religion of peace (2)

by Coded Logic in

in behalf of the horrific events of saturday night, i just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that islam is a religion of peace.

it doesn’t matter that the quran explicitly says that homosexuals should be stoned to death (7:84) - it’s still a religion of peace.

and it doesn’t matter that the scriptures say that all gay men should be killed (sunan 1:152) - islam doesn’t in anyway condone violence.. it doesn’t matter that every mainstream imam calls homosexuality a sin "worse the adultery" - it’s not a religion of bigotry.. it doesn’t matter that 61% of muslims in the uk think gay acts should be made illegal - islam has nothing against the gay community.. it doesn’t matter that countries with sharia law actively persecute the lgbt community - islam is all about peace and love.

The gay community and Obama have actually made America even more of a target for terrorist attacks.

In a radical Muslims sick mind he feels even more justfied in killing the American infidels, because to him america is totally corrupt because of the rights gays have in this country and Obama's gay marriage law.

But you'll never hear that talked about in the news.

JWs predatory letter writing in the news.

the video is worth watching too.. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/80454665/grieving-woman-turns-the-tables-by-doorknocking-jehovahs-witness.

I buy their story that it was a coincidence - if the JW knew of the death, she would've just lead with that.

Why would they intentionally do this 3 months after the death?

Could be a coincidence, but when people get called out for bad behavior the lying starts, oops I mean the theocratic warfare starts.

When my brother in law died JW's came to the house about a month later.

They told us they seen there was a death in the family and had a related tract they wanted to give me.

Waiting 3 months could be done to allow people to get their composure back?

JW's absolutely check the obits to gain vulnerable prospects for possible cult recruits.

the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.
