I liked "O Lord, Please Don't Burn Us" (from the same movie).

Have you seen or heard about this group? Sounds familiar?

by Cindi_67 in

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43kh91vhfko.

it has like six parts.

make sure you watch all..

Wow! Thanks so much for posting this, I'd never heard of them before. This will be a great thing too show to JWs. It's another group, so they'll see the cultish mind-control techniques for what they are without automatically dismissing all criticisms... but at the same time they won't be able to help seeing the similarities.

Yoga?

by halcyon in

i never have been able to get a satisfactory answer to my yoga question (even though now it's irrelevant to me, but i'm still curious): .

does yoga have religious elements?

would it really violate a jw's belief to practice it?

Ténébreux

Just be careful not to manifest too many siddhis, or they'll rip on you for being demonized.

regular dub vs. 144K dub

by ellderwho in

jw doctrine teaches that humans do not have a spirit that continues on after death......so.......... how is the element manifested inside the human form that enables a heaven bound witness to continue on to heaven?

and why are they automatically given robes, and their clean and spotless before the lamb?

since the great crowd dub has to work and wait for perfection does this mean christs' ransom was of greater value for the 144k?

I don't get also why he would flood the world knowing in the future it would just get bad all over again.

Something to do with wiping out the Nephilim I think. Still a strange way to go about it, considering he found it a fairly trivial matter to just instantly strike dead anyone he didnt like.

How to Bankrupt the WTS

by Farkel in

how to bankrupt the watchtower corporation.

when i was a pioneer, we were expected to "place" 100 magazines a month.

i knew i could only pawn off on people about 30 or 40 copies a month.

Ténébreux

But if they returned literature, they'd be proving that they didn't place it. Wouldn't they still end up paying for it themselves and trashing it just so the numbers would look good?

I don't pray before meals anymore since I'm my own "God." Praise ME!

by Witness 007 in

i used to "give thanks to jehovah" for each meal three times a day, before i realized that the only reason i had a meal...or clothes or a house was because i got off my butt and earned a living.

yes you can pray 24/7 but if you don't get off your knees and look for a job a turkey dinner will not be found on the door step....so i should give thanks to myself instead of some imagined "gene in a bottle" that used magic to get me my dinner.. praise witness 007 for he is merciful and kind..

Ténébreux

I always found the idea of praying to God before meals a bit silly. Okay so he created food, but didn't he also create us with the need to eat? Well why don't we just pray and give thanks before each breath of air then?

RECENT REVISIONS TO THE KH DRESS CODE?

by navytownroger in

i was told by my former book-study conductor recently that a new 'dress code' had been handed down by the wts, because people had been 'getting too casual' with their styles of clothing.

one item he mentioed was a new rule for women prohibiting denim skirts.

and, when a woman wore a denim jacket, she was also told this was not appropriate for the kh.

Ténébreux

Exactly. At least you know the one on the left will be offering you a tract whose authors do not expect you to abdicate your choice of personal attire. That's much less scary.

So they are phone witnessing now

by MrsBee in

the jw's just called my job.

my boss answered the phone and she said that they were like, id like to share a scripture with you, read the scripture and was like now if you grab your bible, and she was like i dont have a bible and they said well, when someone comes by for a talk, and she was like, you cannot come here, this is a place of business.. .

lmao.

Ténébreux

They've been doing this in Australia for years. We used to have a group in the KH every week who would search through the entire telephone book and compile a list of names and addresses in our territory, and then another group would bother them on the phone.

Singing at the Meetings is so mindless...

by logic&reason in

i was always uncomfortable singing at the meetings when i was a kid.

as an adult, i rarely if ever sing anymore because i think it is a joke.

sit down, listen for 45 minutes.

Ténébreux

but cannot destroy the soul...Hey, by their own standards that is a false religious idea.

It's a direct quote from the Bible, spoken by none other than Jesus himself! (Matthew 10:28) A strange place to find an unscriptural idea... but there you go.

TV progams that must be not be viewed at all costs

by TooBad TooSad in

the elder giving the public talk a couple of weeks ago told the congregation that there are more and more.

movies and tv programs, like charmed, or books and movies like harry potter that must be avoided at all costs.

because they are a direct link to demonism and spiritism.

Ténébreux

There's a new Smurfs movie in production right now. Might be interesting to see if they'll still freak out over it.
