Do you think you should have the right to decline business on Personal or Religious grounds?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

should individual businesses have the right to pick and chose who they serve?

if a muslim decides he won't bake the cake of a radical zionist that says "reclaim the temple in jerusalem" should the government be allowed to punish the muslim baker?

maybe you can help me understand the issues more clearly because were becoming hyper-sensitive and soon your going to need a handbook what's the proper thing to say.

That was weird how my page got distorted,I did not clip and paste but wrote it out here, not even Word. I need to redo it, sorry! The confusing thing is trying to understand why people need to draw attention to themselves like the baker in Oregon and Washington instead of baking the cake and shutting their mouth. There's a young man who called in to Lars Talk Radio and Lar's ask's him "Are you African American (he could tell by his voice)" the man said "Yes, I am, why?" and Lars did the KKK analogy but this guy said "I would take their money and charge extra!" he continued with "I fought in the Gulf War 2 for everyone's freedom, doing business with the Klan won't hurt my pride".

Personally the Klan could take their cake and stick it up their keister, I don't see how baking a cake for gay couples is similar to baking cakes for hate groups. Issues are clouding up, were the homosexual couples asking the Christian bakers to write "Jesus is Gay!", no, they wanted a cake from a bakery they enjoyed and now the stupid baker is broke. In Roman times the Christians would not have declined service to homosexuals, the Christian teaching of love are clouded out by a pseudo righteousness akin to the Pharisees, not the Christian teachings..

The Pizza place in Indiana has raised almost $1,000,000 depending on which new-sources your using, being loud and vocally bias does pay to the tune of $1,000,000!

I heard the argument of some KKK member going to a bakery run by a Black man, the Black is shocked once he hear's the Klan member want's him to write some evil celebration phrase and declines serving this Klan member. The Klan sues the baker and gets $150k in damages, would you back the Court up on that decisions? Daily we are bombarded with news with a sole purpose, to incite us to turn against ourselves and be very divisive! I feel the Media and those who control it want us to destroy ourselves while the true agendas their pushing will be our downfall! There's some Agenda out there, not a conspiracy buff, yet it's obvious something or someone is trying to get us to the point of self-destruction.

Any ideas how to respond when these arguments appear because I really am confused trying to understand all the hate being spread. I don't think the bakery in Oregon should have been sued for $150k blowing them up because they could not keep their mouths shut and should have baked the cake, it's not the Baker's business and nobody would have thought the Baker was homosexual or leaning to the Left's side. In another State I heard another lawsuit is going on suing another Baker because they would not attend the wedding and set up the cake with all that wedding fancy stuff the rich do

Should the Baker be sued if they offered to make the cake but refused to take the cake to the wedding because they felt it would give off a wrong impression? Things are crazy, in just a few seconds I heard Mr. Ditto head talking about all the freedoms being lost out of fear we might offend a group people perceive is not getting treated well. He mentioned the baker of Islamic background that refused to make cakes for homosexuals under cover, what do you think?

I am not a Rush or Ditto head, Rush's head is so far buried inside the Koch brother's butt, they burp Oxycontin! No fan of Rush here, what's your advice?

Jehovah's Witnesses Are "The Religion Of Hatred!" Why Would We Want To Return To Your Organization?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

i saw some of the quotes coming out of the new assembly brochure "return to jehovah", why would anyone abused by the congregation decide to return for more hate by the congregation?

jehovah's witness are the first one's who tell you "we are god's organization because we are the only religion that has the love jesus christ spoke about!

", that's a big whooper!

PokerPlayerPhil

Their totally lost because this Religion is one like the "Out of Code Date" on rapidly declining dairy products! Their expiration date started in 1914 and like the college kid who drinks his milk two weeks after it's extra-extra expired date, 1975 left the drinkers of the Watchtower's Milk filled with lumpy foul tasting chunks, yummy!

The Watchtower can try their best to use this Milk like Koreans do with Kim Chi or some yummy Mongolian Curdled Yak Milk that taste nasty, that's the product of the 21st Century. Do you have any ideas for the Watchtower because their religion expired, it's long Past Due!

TROLLEY WITNESSING BECOMING A ROUSING SUCESSS!

by nowwhat? in

from last weeks meeting.

"we are now going to talk about experiences from trolley witnesssing" .

this is the honest to god response.

Steve it's sad the younger kids know very little about the Watchtower and I've tested that through attempted deep discussions only to further validate my observation. I appreciate your fair-and-balanced view on many subjects, especially the "Apostasy Video" presented here recently. That video was actually mild, I think the kid was doing his best to stretch out as much time with those elders just to get filler-data across. We are critical of how the Watchtower handled the Bible Students in Greece by recording who the Branch labeled as "Apostates", "Independents" and "On their own" in Ray Franz's book "In Search of Christian Freedom".

We are aware of how the Elders handle previous Judicial Meetings and now maybe this will force the Elders to tread more lightly! If their acting badly, like some old vicious men use to the fear of getting recorded my force them to act human! The kids standing by the Lit-Carts are a very sad group of people, a few I know are already married at 18 years old living with their parents while working two 20 hour jobs each. The Watchtower is quite happy with incompetent Lit-Cart pushers because their not going to ask questions and shy away from any profound topics because their not capable of engaging in them!

CO says "WE ARE NOW AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE THE GREAT TRIBULATION!"

by nowwhat? in

40-50 years after saying "armegeddon is right around the corner" we are now making progress!!!.

gotta have a sense of humor to deal with this stuff..

PokerPlayerPhil

It's funny how the Watchtower uses the "Jews in the wilderness wandering around for 40 years" as a paralleled to today's JWs waiting for Jehovah to bring them past the Great Tribulation! If you read the Bible your going to notice God was ready to take the Jews in less than a Year! Did JWs do something wrong to keep them from entering the Promised Land God was going to lead them to? We all were pretty tweaked in the head to not catch things Blondie points out in her Weekly Study of the Watchtower Magazines!

I heard how we were like the Jews so many times and never fully grasped how distorted their parallel was. They don't know or have any idea how far the Great Tribulation is, their consistent failure to interpret Bible prophecy and teachings along with twisted doctrine prove their unreliable as trying to spend a $3 dollar bill!

Kind of looking for a quick update

by free2beme in

jw
friends

i have been out of the religion since 1996. i used to come to former witness boards a lot in the distant past, and then i lost interest in the subject.

however, with a couple relatives still in and passing the 1914 one hundred year mark, i find myself looking to see what a modern jehovah's witness is believing.

could i get kind of an update on some things.

PokerPlayerPhil

Village-Idiot nice summation of events, maybe this user's not aware of the troublesome old change in JW Theology of the "Never Ending Generation" Old Man Barr created while free-styling it at the AGM back in 2005? This teaching is blurred lines, no JW can explain the "Generation Teaching" using the Bible, Dictionary or historical doctrine of Judeo-Christian teachings, a teaching so distorted their trying to avoid talking about this little gem every-time someone brings it up! You did a great job bringing this guy up to speed, well done!

While listening to a news clip dating from the 1990s amazing how things on the politics spectrum has not changed one bit. People were worried Bill Clinton was going to take their guns (1996), Government was going to take over our lives and steal from the rich citizens protecting the poor. The Republicans were saying they were against spending-deficits (Gulf War 2, Medicare Part D Drug $1 Trillion dollar expansion) and claiming they were protecting the seniors from dipping in Social Securities Trust Fund (The Republicans have been trying to dig in to this Fund since the 1980s and recently some Republicans are trying to get their hands on the Social Security Trust Fund, what dicks!)

It's true, "Headline News is the same bad things happening to new people!", how soon we forget the past and that's how the Watchtower Religion likes it, they hope people forget how bad the Congregation was and hope their new brochure draws them back in this Black Hole of emotional and mental freedom!

It's not as productive as door-to-door was and that's not saying much! When I was handling the literature-rack, very very and did I mention, very few people even looked our direction. As time passes by we can see the predictions made by the Watchtower Society throughout the Blue Book came true. Watchtower said the "Preaching Work will be completed in the 20th Century, tha tha that's All Folks!"

It's hard to reason with these people now, their ignorant of the Bible, their Past and religious doctrines of various churches. We are the generation that had the most Bible and secular knowledge of all the JW generations, now kids don't care about doctrine what value will the JWs offer? It's a fact the Assembly Parts were bogus, many stories were dressed-up to make them what our COs wanted them to look like or present a half-truth story to encourage the sheeples.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses ever "good enough", must they remain anxious and fragile for fear they will not be saved by their works?

by Trailer Park Pioneer in

as a jehovah's witness you know you can never do enough without hearing stories of another witness doing twice what your doing and living off half the money your living on because they give all their time and money to the watchtower.

this is totally bunk, reading romans 7:21-24 paul knew his condition was hopeless without the free gift from god.

paul put all his emphasis on jesus christ, not some self-appointed apostles whose proof offered up is over 150 years of failed prophecy!

PokerPlayerPhil

I was never good enough either and suffer from guilt still, why is that?

After suffering decades from their wicked "older and younger" ones, why beg the physically and verbally abusive spouse to take you back? What is the Watchtower offering those who got screwed, good people treated badly by conscienceless sociopaths? This makes no sense unless you enjoy their roller-coaster theology, monthly changes in eschatology and "The Great Crowd" of Hate Filled Witnesses who don't care about anyone but their own salvation and probably never noticed you've been gone for ten years!
