So much horror in the world today! The JWs must be BEAMING with joy!!

by LovesDubs in

have you heard anything those of you with ears to the borg still?

about the cyclone?

the death tolls?

BONEZZ

Can't you just picture the joy the Dubbies experienced back in the 1300's when the Black Plague killed almost 100 million people?! "Woo Hoo, if this isn't the Great Tibulation I don't what is."

Or maybe a good little Dubbie in the late 1800's picks up the London newspaper and reads about Jack the Ripper...surely a sign of the End.

Or HOLY CRAP...word gets back to that nice little congregation in Spain in 1492 that some guy has discovered The New World!....so lemme see...The Great Tribulation happens in the 1300's and then in 1492 the New World is discovered. It's gotta be New Light. We is in the New World already. Think I'll start a religion. Sorry, just rambling. None of it makes sense.

"Playing Chess is evil, not for Witnesses" -Awake 1973

by Witness 007 in

awake 73 3/22 p.12 "....the spirit of competition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances, as the new york times reported: most families manage to keep the conflicts that arise in games to the chess board.

but in some homes tensions linger long past checkmate.

chess has been a game of war since it was originated 1,400 years ago....the games connections with war are obvious...a play-substitute for the art of war.

witness 007...FYI: It's called Asian Checkers now.

and by the way, the Ouija Board is banned because it gives the player a direct line of communication to Johanes Greber, Chuck Russell and other visionaries. Using it would be "running ahead" of the organization. Only the Slobbering Body are allowed to communicate with the great Spirits.

And if He wanted His name pronounced, don't you think He would have made it a little easier to discover the correct vowels in the correct order?

Bigger News Flash. (see above). I guess God is not powerful enough to override the superstitions of man so as His faithful followers could correctly pronounce His name. Afterall He is powerful enough to choose a large publishing company that dictates 4-door cars and avoidance or demonic Smurfs. I guess that's just part of His mystery, having the Catholics put His word together and allowing them to choose the correct vowels.

They use jehovah's name (brave considering they are fighting 1800 years of indoctriniation to try and pretend it doesn't exist)

What makes you think His name is Jehovah? It was first coined by a Catholic monk. The WTBS has even published the fact that Yahaweh or something else is probably closer to the original pronounciation. Placing vowels in any order could be correct. So the possibility exists that instead of calling Him by a very respectful title like God or Lord we could be bastardizing His name and calling Him something that He may not even like. And if He wanted His name pronounced, don't you think He would have made it a little easier to discover the correct vowels in the correct order? No, the WTBS uses "Jehovah" because it sets them apart...like all good cults they have to prove they are inspired of God. They fail miserably on the whole God's name thing.

PS. Seeker...Great letter.

What are some of your memories pre 1975?

by karter in

going to an international assembly 1974 and one of the gb leo greenlees saying"this will most likely be the last international assembly this side of armageddon".. poeple selling their houses.. storing up food.. wondering what went wrong on dec 31 1975!.

BONEZZ

Lemme see...

In 1975 I was a back-sliding, in-active 20ish guy who had just escaped the Dub-family restraints. I was a rock and roll disc jockey at a small AM station in Redding, CA. My Dad sent me a multi-page letter outlining all the stuff that was supposed to happen according to scripture and the WTBS. I never did read it but allowed my curious girlfriend to read it. She told me the basics and said it sounded like he loved me and wanted me to get back into the fold. Ha ha...I was having way too much fun.

However, when we started incorporating Disco records into our hard-core rock and roll playlist...I knew something was up and maybe the End was near. The rest is a blurr because I stayed self-medicated until January 1, 1976.

I do remember being told about some super-spiritual types like pioneers that went out and bought very expensive, cars (4-door) because they knew in their hearts that they'd never have to pay them off...woo hoo, did Big J ever fake them out!

Voting, military, etc?

by cothrige in

i am a catholic who was recently visited by a jehovah's witness who had some things to say which i had never known about.

this got me to thinking, and so i am now curious about the full teachings of the wts in this regard.

basically i was informed that witnesses cannot vote nor serve in the military, or even fly a flag.

Hi Patrick,

They are rather hypocritical inasmuch as they certainly enjoy the freedoms provided by the government that they are trained to hate and will not lift a finger to protect a neighbor from a foreign enemy. They are told to Take from the government social services when they are hungry but they are not allowed to volunteer to work for those same services or charities that help them in their time of need. As an organization they do nothing in the way of helping anyone except their corporate publishing empire. They do not have any system set up to provide for their own people who they treat like beaten sheep.

Back to the point, some geographical areas are more lenient towards gun ownership for "hunting" purposes. Guns for protection are strongly discouraged but I don't think they have ever banned it. No right minded JW would ever 'fess up to owning a gun for "protection", but I've known several.

PS. They like to say..."if the world were nothing but JWs then there would be no more wars." I like to follow up with..."yeah and we'd all be saying Heil Hitler!"

"Even if it isn't true" - how many of you heard this one recently?

by hamsterbait in

i remember first hearing it after the generation change of 95.. a sister answered up at the wt and said "even if armageddon isn't coming, its still the best way to live.".

i have heard others say: "even if it isn't true, it's still the best way of life.".

my mother said it a few weeks ago!

BONEZZ

Let's remember all those other poor saps who are trying their best...but unfortunately they hitched

their horse to the wrong wagon/religion...so no matter how hard they try, they all gonna get murdered! Maybe the next WTBS

slogan can be..."Right or Wrong We are Still God's Organization" ...makes perfect sense.
