  Meat eating preditors will eat grass like a lamb!

  by jimakazi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am always a little pi***d when i see jw illustrations showing lions and tigers in the close vacinity of samll children, lambs and other meaty treats with no safety barriers.

  [why this is paradise is beyound me - these anaimals smell].. so if we assume an intelligent creator, why would he create large meat eating preditors if he really ment them to eat grass?

  every thing about their make up is about specialistation, from teeth, to jaws, to how their stomachs work.

  lately i've just been getting contacted quite a bit by depressed zombie like cultist's.

  i thought i would welcome being contacted by dubs after i da'ed but i actually really find it annoying!

  they all drop comments like "nothing ever changes.." "i don't really go to the meeting's that much.." "i'm just so bored.." "if i didn't have meetings i could go back to school" "brother shitbag is a jerk.. i'm so sick of him.." "the elders treat me like a child" blah blah blah.

  Can I get Reproved or Disfellowshipped for not...

  by Smoky in

  preaching (door to door), commenting, or giving talks?.

  i am currently fading away, but i occasionaly go to the meetings, just to show my face from time to time, basically to maintain my relationships with friends and family.

  i guess leaving everything, is a jump i am not ready for, just yet.

  You should be OK - although fading completely [change address and just stop going] would seem to be the next step.

  Covert Field Service tactic

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here's an idea i thought of for those of us still associated with the jws and going in field service:.

  1. write the url to this site, quotes, silentlambs, etc.

  on post-it notes (little yellow sticky papers).. 2. put the post-it notes inside the folded portion of a tract, or first page of wt magazine.. 3. leave the tract or magazine at not-at-homes.. in the chance the householder peruses the litter-ature rather than trash it, they will see the note and possibly visit the referenced website.

  Hell just put on some old JW gear, load up some info printed from here and go knocking on doors... "Hi, I'm one of Jehovahs ex witnesses, and I'm here to share with you some reasons not to get involved, do you mind if I leave you this info sheet which has all the references you will need if they should call. Also if you request that they list you as a "do not call" you will be left in peace".

  Neaderthals and the Hobbits what the heck?

  by skyman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to me not believing that they were alive and human living at the same time as us is like believing in the tooth fairy.

  dna proves the neanderthals lived and were human but not us.

  they lived worshipped wore jewry and buried their dead.

  Hobbits are real... There were quiet a few here in NZ a little while ago, obsessed with a ring if I recall.

  I don't know where they all got to but at least one has turned up on "Lost"

  Hey Crazyblondeb

  Great to see you have the guts to put her straight. As for the DF'd thing - they are supposed to be able to talk to you as family, but shouldn't be talking about spiritual stuff. I've had to basically make my parents understand this - if you want us to visit you, and see your grandchildren do no preach to us. They forget from time to time and it does get heated.

  Anyway all the best on keeping clean.

  Yo can do it.

  Active Jehovah's Witnesses - - - PLEASE READ

  by nicolaou in

  an open letter to all jehovah's witnesses.

  dear friend, .

  what caused you to come and read the posts of so many of your former brothers and sisters who have either been disfellowshipped or have chosen to walk away from the society and the 'truth'?

  Well said.

  They need to be encouraged to hang arround - check some stuff out for themselves - come to that realisation that the WTS is not all it claims to be.

  Keep up the good work.

  Does Genesis 1:26 support Devine Trinity???

  by zagor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've seen several comments about trinity, so here goes another one: .

  please read again genesis 1:26

  this is very interesting paragraph and many times is being used as a proof of trinity as it says let us create .

  The really sad thing is that this assumes the bible has to make sense and is "inspired". I think you find inconsistancies because it is NOT inspired, this is in many ways your proof. I think the whole concept of a trinity is pretty damn weak, just as is hell, Even my 7 year old son [attending a catholic school] worked that out for himself.

  Even if it was inspried, it was likely written in a way that the people of a sheep herder / desert nomadic culture might understand. Language helps shape our thoughts, and think - I wonder how rich their language was back then??? So even is god explained the quantum physics involved, and the complete process and time scale in detail, how would our humble writer express it? Hey big guy can i just say "in the beginning..."

  Are you an Irritating Bastard?

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how many of you ex witnesses out there became irritating bastards to family and friends when you left the organisation?

  did you push your believing mate right out the door with your verbal assaults?

  did you send out a long letter to all of your witness family and friends telling them what a lying cult the watchtower organisation is?

  Yes but what about people who become JW's and then become irratating bastards by telling every one they know that they are going to die unless they join the borg? Actaully a great technique to issolate them from the "opposed" spouses and friends - leaving just the love bombing JW's to fill the empty spaces.

  I think those who escape and try to show the others what is wrong are much less irratating. I guess it's really irratating if in the deep recesses of a largely inactive JW brain there is the recognition that if they listen they too will leave, but they are in a comfrotable zone where all thinking is done for them, and armagedons just arround that never ending corner.
