  A comment I heard tonight

  by Generic Man in

  tonight i heard one of the most cruel and twisted comments i've ever heard at the platform.

  the topic was the apocalypse and whether or not children will be slaughtered.

  through one side of his mouth, the po stated that the bible is not clear on the matter, while out the other side he pointed to all those old testament accounts where children were killed.

  when you were babtized and dedicated did you feel a void?

  this has always troubled me:.

  i was studying to be babtized although i was raised around the "truth" i still had to have an official study.

  so i was taught that i had to go to jehovah in prayer stating my desire to be dedicated and babtized.

  You may have an unexplainable urge to fornicate with an apostate of the opposite sex upon reading CoC. Just a precaution.

  Bible Reading Leading to More Doubt Than Faith... :(

  by jeanniebeanz in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok, it?s taken me longer to get my thoughts together on this than i expected, but here is the reason that i have come to have doubts in the divine nature of the bible; its failure to show that the god it describes is abiding by "his" own standards.. for example, according to 2 peter 1:20, the entire bible is inspired of god.

  the main attributes of "god" are that "he" is love (1 john 4:8), "he" is just (deuteronomy 32:4), and "he" has all of the power (revelation 7:12).. with that in mind, my first problem with the bibles authenticity is that this ?loving god?

  murdered the entire world of men at one point in history by drowning them.

  I remember once trying to do the old '15 minutes of Bible reading', muddling through Genesis. I constantly had to ask myself why, WHY is Moses writing like this?? He kept repeating sh*t over and over. In frustration I just gave up on it. Hilariously enough, after I dumped the dubs I picked up a copy of 'Who Wrote the Bible' by Richard Friedman and it actually gave me chills when I came to understand how the books were edited and built upon by more than one auther, none of them being Moses. Now I acutally enjoy reading the Bible sometimes even though I don't believe it to be inspired whatsoever.

  I'm a more avid Bible student now than I was as a dub or Christian. LOL.

  LMAO.. the only way you make me nervous is with your obvious mental instability I could see you snapping and shooting up a Kingdom Hall or something. Maybe that's another item on your top secret list of 'theocratic warfare' strategies.

  Why is everything related to pagan origins?

  by upside/down in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is everything in dub-land put through the "pagan" filter.

  it hasn't resulted in a better "dub", they're a vile bunch as a whole.. .

  example: what if someone out of the goodness of their heart and for no apparent reason wanted to celebrate (say without the traditional cake w/candles) the "birthday" of their child.

  :If you were the Wantpower and you knew you were on shaky ground, would you print this stuff at all?

  This is a good point. I honestly question the sanity of these individuals. Any sane person can recognize how stupid this is.

  Why do you guys continue to feed this liar? I bet the Governing Body secretly knows the date of Armageddon as well. Why argue with somebody who is an obvious liar?

  The Dumbed Down Awake Sinks Lower ( May 8)

  by metatron in

  2. friends

  the latest awake has, on its final inside page, a section called "for family review" that consists of questions.

  that witless families can ask their kids after they've read the magazine.

  this new feature follows questions.

  Ironically enough, my old pals that use Watchtower and Awakes as asswipe are still in the Org., and I having never used it as such, am out. I guess they rationalize that continuing as Witnesses cuts down on their grocery bill.

  he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
  he tries to tell me what i put inside of me
  he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
  he dreamed a god up and called it christianity

  your god is dead and no one cares
  if there is a hell i will see you there

  he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
  he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
  his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
  demands devotion atrocities done in his name

  you god is dead and no one cares
  drowning in his own hypocrisy
  and if there is a hell i will see you there
  burning with your god in humility
  will you die for this?

  NIN, Heresy
