Great art direction, btw. A much better film than you'd expect.
by using the label "worldly" the wt shortchanges people.
the same people it quotes as authorities in its magazines can also be easily dismissed if their opinion disagrees with the wt viewpoint by simply stating that after all, those persons are "worldly".
but those who use this term also shortchange themselves.
The Pharisees called anyone who wasn't in their in-crowd "people of the earth," right?
People of the earth
People of the world
Worldy people
To me, that simple label is on one of the most glaring hypocrisies in all of the JW culture.

well, here is a door i wish i would have gotten when i was a jw.. [edited: link removed].
or if you want to go to the original article that boing boing points to... .
[edited: link removed].
Dang. Can we at least get a synopsis? I'm intrigued...
watching the crime channell yesterday i saw a picture of a family that was murdered by teenage gothic satanists, i said to my self "they look like witnesses"...and they were!
one of the girls charged with murder said: "the man aproached me at the rest stop and asked me if i believed in god, he said he was a jehovah witness...." the four youth's are serving life in prison for shooting this man his wife and 2 kids.
the baby boy was shot in the eye but survived....they ran over the parents as they drove off in their van.
That article is sickening, the way the author dehumanizes the victims and tries to cull sympathy for the murderers. A fat middle finger for the "journalist" who wrote it!
EDIT: Make it TWO fat middle fingers.
watch.
1973 july 15 p.7 "questions from readers.
when did the dinosuars become extinct?".
I know that picture you're talking about. It's a wider angle of the same illustration in My Book of Bible Stories, but it appears in a different publication, possibly a brochure.
And to The Oracles point, that poor 7th clean animal. He had to watch the other clean animals getting nookie for a year, what did he get for all his patience at the end of it all? WHAMMO!!! And with no hope of resurrection, either.
if there is no god, does this make us the most intelligent animal?.
The core of this thinking really de-values us as individuals.
If I am merely an animal, and am just a happenstance that came into being because of something called the evolutionary process, then:
I am not special, I am not created, I don't have a purpose, I am not intricately made, I am not unique, I hold NO value or worth, I am not an individual,
For me, the core of this thinking is empowering in the extreme.
If I am a sinful, infantile creation undeserving of happiness and life except by the grace of my absent creator ("Amazing grace...saved a wretch like me?" What an ugly song! I'm no wretch, are you?),
I am not my own person, I don't have free will, I am not responsible for my actions, good or bad.
It's like we're all irresponsible children waiting for a celestial parent to clean up our mess.
Instead, if we evolved, then I am a god! You're a god! Imagine it: we're the supreme beings on this planet, maybe even in the whole universe. We should all act as gods and goddesses. Then it's on us to treat ourselves, eachother, lower animals, and the environment with the respect and dignity the universe deserves. It's on us to be righteous and just for the sake of being righteous and just. How many people through their own weakness create disorder and chaos in the world with the hope or rationale that a god will forgive them when needed? In some respects an all-forgiving god that tosses out forgiveness like cheap cookies is as dangerous to the world as a vengeful god damning all infidels to death.
Atheism is beautiful.
hi all i'm a newbie with a question:.
please ban you tell me if an unbaptized publisher has an abortion is this an unforgivable sin?.
what would happen to the publisher if another jw reports them or they confess since they are not baptized?.
It is for this atheist.
