  A German Officer to Receive Jewish Honor

  by Kenneson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as germans for the past two months have remembered the liberation of auschwitz and buchenwald concentration camps, a german, and a world war ii officer, no less, will, in turn, be remembered and honored tomorrow by camp survivors.

  see "yad vashem to honor german world war ii officer.

  german wehrmacht officer karl plagge has been called 'better than oskar schindler' for saving jewish lives during world war ii.

  How do you think you will handle your own death? . . . . . [language alert]

  by nicolaou in

  i know it's not the lightest of topics but the current news coverage of the pope's final hours made me wonder if i'd face things as calmly as he is reported to be doing.

  i don't have his faith, or any faith anymore, but i can see how for a true believer that would be a source of strength.. the thing is, a lot of us thought we'd never die.

  do you really comprehend what a truly massive mind-fuck that is?

  The Watchtower, Scholar and Misrepresentation of Source References

  by AlanF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  our resident pretend-jw-scholar who calls himself "scholar" enjoys justifying lying and misrepresentation by the watchtower society and himself.

  the society, out of one side of its collective mouth, recommends not misrepresenting source references, yet out of the other side, goes ahead and does so without hesitation whenever it is convenient.

  the society understands that unfair quoting is dishonest.

  alanf continues to amaze me

  Why, man, he doth bestride this narrow site

  Like a Colossus, and we petty men

  Walk under his huge legs and peep about

  To find ourselves dishonourable threads.

  terror

  by pepheuga in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe i'm a little closer than most to the mind of the terrorist.. as a jehovah's witness growing up, i would have done all kinds of.

  things that 'jehovah's representatives here on earth' might have told.

  you want me to do the "mics" brother?

  i believe i'm a little closer than most to the mind of the terrorist.
  as a jehovah's witness growing up, i would have done all kinds of
  things that 'jehovah's representatives here on earth' might have told
  me to do. you want me to do the "mics" brother? great! do you want me
  to knock on some doors? let's go tell 'em! do you want me to lay some
  bricks for the new kingdom hall? i'll be there on saturday afternoon,
  after the field service, of course.
  so far, so bad.
  but there was background noise, audible only sometimes ? what if we
  were asked to do something unusual, something.....controversial? would
  we be jehovah's loyal servants?
  well i was never asked by the elders to fire bomb the local
  pentecostal church (or whatever), but the best young witnesses
  understood that just because it hadn't recently been part of the
  pattern, didn't mean that we could preclude the possibility that it
  might become so in future. jehovah had a history of getting his peons
  to do his dirty work ? the temple wouldn't have come down had samson
  not been there, the ark didn't build itself prior to the flood ? and
  one should prepare for all kinds of challenges as the last days of
  this wicked system drew to a close. i had the mentality to make the
  carrying out of such a suggestion a possibility. this is how i would
  have rationalised it;
  1, it's the right thing to do. i know it is because this
  magazine/elder/whatever says so, and this means it has jehovah's
  backing.
  2, armageddon is coming, these people are going to die anyway, if
  for some reason god should choose me, a small fry loyal servant, to help in
  the task of wiping out satan's followers, what difference will it make
  to anybody whether jehovah kills the worldly one himself, or whether i
  do, at his instruction? and.....
  3, why should my tiny brain's lack of understanding of this choice
  be an impediment to the carrying out of an act that, at the highest
  possible level (jehovah's thoughts), is considered righteous?
  4, if i refuse to do it, i will be slaughtered by the almighty.
  5, if i'm so killed, i'll never get to see paradise, and live in it
  with my sweetheart forever.

  i see the pityful sight of the suicide bombers and i get angry along
  with many of the rest of us. but then, i step back a little and say,
  "there, but for the grace of the devil, go i."
