The sacrifice of a child, for pioneer hours.

children are an expendable part of the the wtbts.

if they're worldly children, they're insignificant as they're going to die anyway when armageddon comes.

if they're jw children, they only survive because of their parents 'good standing' and then their needs must always come after their parents 'god' the demands of the almighty wtbts.. i was walking home from school this morning past the home where about 16 years ago, a single mother and her tiny little boy used to live.

What we all have done to preach the good news. You will never forget this just like I will never forget the people I hurt to keep the congregation clean. I also wonder about the people I hurt doing what I thought at the time was an apointment from GOD.

Shaking with adrenalin, fear and anger

by Crumpet in

never was a glass of wine so keenly anticipated as this one.. an hour ago i was sitting at the station waiting for a train and having my first cigarette of the last few days.

i don't usually smoke in public except in bars, but this was the end of a difficult and tiring week for me being my first week back at work and having hjad to do it all on crutches.. when all of a sudden some 60+ old nutter started yelling at me.

he said you don't know what you are doing to yourself- you will die horribly of cancer.

Are you sure he was not the P.O. in my old congregation

"Science has proven that God doesn't exist"

by AlmostAtheist in

jw

a quote from a poster on another thread that i promised myself i wouldn't hijack:a portion of [posters on jwd are] antitheists which means they hold the view that science has already proved that god doesn't exist.

may i ask, who are these posters?

i don't read every post on jwd, i could buy that i just missed it.. atheists by and large have come to that point by realizing that things that can't be proven shouldn't be believed outright.

skyman

The plain truth is this the GOD of the JW's does not exist for exsample Jehovah use to a GOD of fertility over century's he evolved to the GOD of the bible. You can see this in the Bible even. He did not know about SODOM AND GAMORA had to send down an Angel, GOD could not find Moses son to kill him for not being circumcised, he was hid in a cave from GOD . The GOD of the JEWS ANS CHRISTIANS is not true.

I for one have to believe that some type of high power did or still exist because we are here. It can not be a GOD that once was a GOD of FERTILTY, or a GOD so powerless as not to know about SODOM and GAMORA, nor where to find a man hide from him.

would you have an elderly parent live with you.

my inlaws drive me mad, we had my fil stay for 6 days a couple of weeks back and gee was i glad when he went back home!.

I have enjoyed in the past having my wifes grandma live with us. Grandma had allway's hated me because she thought I was a spoiled brat that was handed everything in life. She learned by living with us that I was not the person she thought I was. I would set and listen to her stories about her past, she loved the fact I cared. She helped out around the house alot. She now lives with my inlaws. What I thought was going to be HELL ended up enjoyable.

We allso had my wife's dad live with us for about six months. Him and my mother inlaw had spilt up for a while and I really enjoyed his stay. Yes he was allways in our bussness!!! but I have one over on him now, he knows he owes me. From that time on he has treated me very well. Prior to him staying with us he did not like me at all. Being the good JW that he is and all I caught him doing some very bad things to get even with his wife we even have a video of him doing something that is grounds for DFing. I have him exactly where I want him.

Truth Book from 1974

by Virgogirl in

jw
friends

does anyone remember "the truth that leads to everlasting life" book?

it was blue, and was intended as a six month home study book.

i think it came out in 1974at an assembly with much fanfare and gasping!.

skyman

I remember. I was in grade school when the book came out. Man I knew the end was so near. I was not going to make it to my next grade before the end came. I can remember it was Sept. 1975 and the P.O. here said we have one month left this is the last time we will make it around the Territory. He said it with a shout of glee and gave a big hurray. That is how I remember the Truth book as the book that ushered in the NEw Order. Both memory are tied together.

RACISM Behind 1909 Watch Tower Magazine Name Change

by West70 in

from 1879 through 1908, the magazine owned, operated, and edited by charles taze russell (not the zion's watch tower tract society) was offically named "zion's watch tower and herald of christ's presence".

with several changes caused by the move from pittsburgh to brooklyn to escape maria russell, her lawyers, and the pennsylvania courts, it was decided that the official name of the magazine be changed to "the watch tower and herald of christ's presence".

here are the official reasons for dropping the word "zion's", as stated in the december 15, 1908 issue: .

Legolas

to give you just a little piece of the pie. The word Bastard used in the bible does not mean child without a dad but actually means some one not of your race. This is taken form the STRONG's C oncordance. Do you remember the scripture that say the BASTARD can not enter into GODS house for ten genrations. SO if ADAMS linage mated with a HUMAN his children could not worship GOD at his house.

This is only a very small point to show what the BIBLE realy teaches.

ALSO one more point JOB the greatest of all the Orientals. The Bible did not say the greatest MAN that ever lived.

I need to take some time and poist the points correctly.

Wow I realy thank you for this post. I was talking to a bible reasearcher this man has printed many book about the Bibles true teachings. He proved without a doubt that the original text shows in Gen's 1: & 2 God created Humans (Gen 1) which means man of color and then later created ADAM Gen 2 which mean white man that can blush. He showed me the original Hebrew words and thier meanings. So Adam and Eve were seperate creations from the rest of Humans. Plus he prooved that in MANY MANY places in the bible that GOD said for ADAMS LINAGE was not to mate with the HUMANS.

I want to make this point clear the book of Gen's is not correct and I will never worship a GOD that is racist. So I do not believe the book Gen's should be part of the BIBLE cannon. The Bible does support this claim if you believe it is written BY GOD> I HATE RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will post points on this in the near future be ready to question everything you thought you know about the GOD of the Jew's

JW Joke

by skyman in

i heard the best jw joke today.

my wife was laughing long before she told me the punch line.

here it goes: a young lady goes to a beauty shop to get a haircut.

skyman

Why don't you think it's funny? cause it's so true?

SO VERY TRUE. I was told after finding out about the UN. Br ------ this can't be true, If it is, we don't have the truth. After proving it to them I asked them why the Society lied to me about the reason they joined the NGO'S. The Body of Elder's said it does not matter that I could prove the Society lied, If they Society say's that was the reason I had no right doing research to prove the Society wrong. THen I was told: If the Society tells you your left hand is your right, then from that time on it is. This was exactly what I was told by the body of Elders.

NOW BREATH IN, BREATH OUT!!!!
