  New jewelry for JW's!

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw

  it seems so unfair that other christians can wear their faith around their necks and jw's can't.

  so i thought we could start a new jewelry line just for them.

  available soon from stoops!

  Jws are a very material religion.

  It's all about how you look to others in behaviour and speech.

  Plus hours of "service", mags, books.

  It's natural that a material religion attracts material people and companies smell a market

  Sept ' 64.

  My parents had taken my newly married bro and his wife to check out their just bought house.

  Telephone rings. My elder sister answered and I knew something was wrong by her face.

  There had been a car accident and someone was hurt. My mother.

  I knew straight away she was dead.

  I was 8 yrs old

  Is repititive imprinting of ideas a primary cult tactic?

  in a post by syn that lady lee has brought up again, there is this statement by syn.

  i could underline my watchtower in 10 minutes, tops, and be sure that all the answers were right.

  many esteemed researchers have shown that repetitive imprinting of ideas is a primary cult tactic, and i tend to agree with them.

  Sorry Sweet scholar, I would have answered earlier but it was sleep time over here.

  I got you pm... He he.

  Do you realise you repeated yourself three times (including pm)?

  Do you realise the topic you are stealing is "Is repetative imprinting of ideas a primary cult tactic? Haw haw

  Your blathering is only strengthening my opinion that (most) religionists are delusional nutters who need medication.

  Thankyou

  Hours of work, to get those talks right, and most people were not listening

  by free2beme in

  i remember one time i worked on a talk about a week.

  looking up points, cross referencing ideas, and then i get up there and i just knew most people were either asleep mentally or not paying any attention.

  who could blame them, i set in the front row doing microphones and i could hardly keep my eyes open.

  Yeah I remember but I was one of those who would actually listen to talks esp by elders.

  After meetings I would say to my friends, "What did you think of that contradictory statement made by bro so and so?''

  Inevitable answer, "Huh??"

  Are the gospels genuine?

  by ackack in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been reading the jesus puzzle and something interesting was this re-ordering of q. its seems like the various pieces of q in luke and matthew have different contexts.

  this would support that the contexts for the q sayings were invented.. it seems that paul doesn't reference the gospels in any form.. does this support a late writing for the gospels and therefore calls into question how close the gospels were written to the alleged events of jesus' life?.

  how would someone who believes in the gospels reconcile these differences?

  Now that I am no longer a jw, I research material that was forbidden.

  Example is the virgin birth. Only mentioned in two gospel accounts and not mentioned at all by Paul in any of his writings!!!

  Imagine such an vital issue not restated by jesus disciples.

  It appears to have been added to scripture at a later date by followers of ancient dieties who became christian in the first century.

  These writings( gospel/new testament) were just letters that were held as the word of the original disciples by different christian churches(and countries). They were mixed and matched to popular belief over centuries. Letters that didn't "fit" were removed.

  Genuine? Well an amazing piece of stitch work by the early Roman church.

  God's word? No, a little more mundane than that. A way to unite their empire....religion

  Anybody else see a problem with this website?

  by avishai in

  let's start with this statement who most often commits domestic violence?

  overwhelmingly, it's heterosexual men in relationships.

  however, if we refer just to the act of hitting or physically hurting another person, research statistics from the 1980's and early 1990's shows women are as likely or more likely than men to hit or physically harm a partner.

  My ex was an abuser.

  She was petite, intelligent, incredibly feminine and under 130lbs. She came from a non violent family.

  Some days she would just lose it (behind closed doors).

  One time she broke her wrist punching me in the face, well attempting, as I saw it coming and head butted her fist.

  Of course I would discuss this behaviour when she settled and she would make statements like "you drove me to it" or "you just make me so angry" Sound familiar? I would say to her that if I had hit her and used that excuse, I would be doing time....

  Luckily for me at the time I was extremely fit and strong so no major physical damage except for a bit of blood (thrown keys) and bruises but psychologically very disturbing.

  Yes we were jws.

  The Roots of Christianity. What is the TRUTH?

  by Sirona in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've read a lot of theories regarding the roots of christianity, but being honest i have never gotten to the real "truth" about it.

  if you believe that christianity was very deeply influenced by earlier pagan faiths, what real evidence do we have to support this?.

  if you believe that christianity was not influenced by these earlier pagan faiths, how do you counter the claims that aspects of christianity are very similar to many aspects of earlier religious beliefs?.

  One that springs to mind is the "virgin" birth. Apparently a common myth in ancient cultures.

  It appears to be tacked on to the account of jesus birth. Why?

  Well, the whole prophecy of jesus royal lineage thru his mother and FATHER doesn't stand to logic if the seed put into his mother was from god.

  Why put the detailed chronology of Joseph in the account if he is not jesus father?
