Another True Believer Dies Before Entering The Paradise
by minimus ina dear old man, 81 years of age died the other day.
my family studied with his family in 1969 and the entire family left their beloved catholic church and became jehovah's witnesses within 6 months.the man was illiterate and unschooled.
still, he believed "the truth" and even when some of his kids left or got disfellowshipped, he persevered.

Kingdom chorus
by looter inso im at the meeting after its over and this elder says to me that god needs my voice because he, the elder, feels that my singing is not loud enough.
i did not tell him this, but singing just is not my thing.
he then went on saying how gods people are better singers than "the worlds singers".

So im at the meeting after its over and this elder says to me that God needs my voice because he, the elder, feels that my singing is not loud enough. I did not tell him this, but singing just is not my thing. He then went on saying how gods people are better singers than "the worlds singers". The elder asked me who I thought was a good singer and i told him i thought michael jackson had a magnificent voice. Then he asked me: "What if michael Jackson sung lies about your mother in his music. Would you not be upset?" After I told him of course he went on a rant about how christendom and churches sing lies about God and jesus, and that the Worst sounding voice in the congregation is better than the singers of the world in jehovahs eyes. Now what does everyone here think about this and are there any similar experiences?
He is a classic example of elders who have been drinking too much Watchtower kool aid.
What an idiot.

It sounds like she was blaming her doctor when she should have been blaming the wicked elders on the HLC.
She made her own bed and now she's sleeping in it.

My "Un-Witnessing" Comments for this Upcoming Sunday's Watchtower.
by objectivetruth ini won't be there (fortunately) but perhaps my warm encouragement and hard work, in preparing these comments will help someone, who has the burden of attending the meetings, give a good un-witness.. 3. while on earth, how did jesus follow his fathers example?.
answer - jesus at john 9:4 gave us a very important reminder, he said "we must do the works of the one who sent me while it is day; the night is coming when no man can work.
" the figurative night that jesus was likely referencing was amos 5:18 where it says "woe to those who yearn for the day of jehovah!

Most JW's who heard that would bob their heads up and down in agreement without having a clue to what you were really saying.

Jehovah's Witnesses lie and say they do when asked if they baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Isnt the media attention especially TV way over the top ? in covering the seige in sydney or is it all about ratings .Entertainment ?
by smiddy indont get me wrong , what took place was appalling and certainly needed to be covered by the media , whether by radio tv or newspaper articles by journalists.
this was one lone man holding seventeen hostages for about 17 hours , traumatic ,frightening to say the least for the victims who were put through this ordeal , and sadly their were fatalities of hostages .
my heart goes out to those who suffered and endured this seige and especially those who lost loved ones .. my concern is mainly with the tv coverage , newspapers you get usually only once a day , and in a case like this maybe twice.. here in victoria , we have 4 ?

It is still all over the local TV news channels this morning.
Way too much coverage.
It would be a more effective deterrent for the media to show video of what happens to religious nuts who commit terrorist acts against society.
A 30 minute video showing the asshole being loaded into a body bag and transported to the morgue might cause other idiots to pause and think.

Want to hear something funny ?
by troubled mind inmy husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .
just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .
it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.
