Apostasy - A Racist Movement?
by slimboyfat in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
firpo carr argues that while many white apostates claim to highlight so-called 'racist' remarks and terminology in the watchtower literature, most such apostates are in fact white and have little real interest in black issues.

they are only interested in the issue in so far as they can use it to promote white anti-witness propaganda, whereas a high percentage of loyal witnesses are black.

i know that all the terms of my topic are debatable: apostacy is a witness term of derogation; apostates probably are mostly liberal and not racist (essentially); and they are not a 'movement' in any case.

Evil force, continue using ad hominems while I deal in facts.

LMAO!!! this is what fact means: fact (fakt) n.
Knowledge or information based on real occurrences: an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy.

Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed: Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact.

A real occurrence; an event: had to prove the facts of the case.

Something believed to be true or real: a document laced with mistaken facts.
A thing that has been done, especially a crime: an accessory before the fact.

Law. The aspect of a case at law comprising events determined by evidence: The jury made a finding of fact
Smelly, I havent seen you do any of this, well maybe number 5 - you believe you know and state facts.

Some advice: Please, please, please do some research outside of what the jw gave you. Research the history and past (and present) doctrine of the Watchtower Society. Read books about the jws (the good and the bad). Be well informed and ask questions and if the jws are put off by the questions, be wary. It is always best to be well informed about an organisation before you decide to dedicate your life to it.

as an american, i see words such as cheerio, blimey, bloody (when referring to something negative), loo, bugger, fag (cigarette), etc.

as chiefly british (i suppose they are).. what words and/or phrases do you consider to be chiefly american?

i'm honestly unaware of which words i use that may not be used in other english-speaking countries.

By and large hispanics and blacks could care less about doctrinal discrepancies. Somwthing they told me themselves.

O.K. I just got done puking. Did all of those black people tell you that or just a chosen few? Smelly you sure love those blanket statements dont you? Darling you dont know what youre talking about. Please remove your large foot from your tiny mouth.

what proves jw's aren't true?

by jwfacts in

i am inactive and it took years of doubt to convince myself the jw's arent true.

i started doubting because i hated the idea that jehovah would kill 6 billion non-jw's.

the thing now that is the most important proof for me is that until 1954 jw's worshipped jesus and it is still in the watchtower charter, even though you now get disfellowshipped for worshipping jesus.

Researching the 1975 debacle was the start for me.

Passing the time.

by Low-Key Lysmith in

i used to come up with all kinds of things to do to pass the time during meetings and especially conventions.

i would resort to counting ceiling tiles sometimes or go over movies in my head line for line.

what did y'all do to beat the doldrum?

mrsjones5

we used to play the clapping game, esp good in small arenas like the Cow Palace. it would go something like this: during one of the boring talks when the brother on stage is going on and on one of us kids would pick just the right time to clap. and the best time to clap was a few minutes after a clapping spaz and just before the next one. it seems that the audience could be set off by a clap becuz they were anticapating the next clapping spaz. if you could hit it right it was a beautiful sight to behold. it's a wonder we never got caught. heehee
