Very curious agapa, since your very first thread was thanking Scully for walking you through the registration process. Seems that someone with previous experience on the board would have been able to do this themselves.

You cant be PMJ, he was borderline illiterate. I dont think you are Grissom because he still posts under that name on several other boards in pidgin english and is a much more blatant watchtower apologist then yourself. That leaves defd. I also doubt that because he left the board with quiet a bang, threatening to sue the administrators if they didnt delete all of his postings. That leaves another more obvious conclusion: you are an attention seeking troll playing games on our discussion board.

COLLEGE!

oh, so in the midst of everything else, college is goin well.. about 30 % of my high school graduating class came here, so its really just like high school part2.

i have 2 morning classes, and 2 night classes, so that way the majority of my schooling gets done on 2 days of the week instead of 4. last night was my first night in my english 111 class.

i already knew thaqt there was one witness in there, but its someone who i've kept up with, and someone who is cool with me, as i am.

"She walks up tot the teacher, and whispers something about not being able to work with me, excommunitcation, religion, etc."

LMAO!!! I love it! One of the best lessons a j-dub dweeb can get at University is that the real world does'nt tolerate "watchtower" horsesh*t like that. I have feeling its only a matter

of time before she is joining you and your buds for beers at the campus pub! LOL

Why Did Adam & Eve Need An Immune System???

by enlightenedcynic in

here is a question i would like answered intelligently if possible.

i asked my wife and another brother during an informal gathering of friends and was given the typical "wait till the new system, jehovah will answer all questions" response.

for the last year or so i began to seriously doubt the existence of a "loving, caring god".

kid-A

"So immune system is God's gift of grace against consequences Sin created."

Honestly, it boggles the mind that an individual who actually believes horseshit like this could function in modern society. I doubt even the watchtower could have come up with a more moronic explanation.....sigh........

He says use the rod?

by beautifulisfree in

has your child raising or discipline tatics changed since your out of the borg?

i always thought that i would use spanking as a discipline.

since supposedly the bible encourages it.

You don`t teach your child to love and be a good person by hitting the child!

Well put Hellrider. Children learn and model on example. What is the lesson learned by hitting a child? That using violence is an effective way to deal with another human being that disagrees with you. Children at any age are not cattle. They have intuitive intelligence and barring some severe psychiatric disorder, they can be reasoned with in a rational and intelligent matter. Physical Violence (and yes, ANY act of striking another human being, regardless if it is the butt, hand, face, IS an act of violence and aggression) is a cop-out. I have seen children treated in ways that I would not even dream of treating a dog.

Would you die for your brother......

by loosie in

a thought popped into my head today.

remember how inside the congregation we were taught that we should our love our brothers so much that we would die for them?.

now why were taught to trust and love our brothers and sisters so much mush that we would do that for them?.

kid-A

The concept is too broad.

E.G. : Should a young man with a wife and three young children die in order to save an 85 year old retired widower with no dependents?

Its not an issue of one human life being "worth" more than another, the issue would be the balance of costs to other human beings following such a sacrifice. Three children forced to spend the rest of their lives fatherless versus the death of an older person, who would likely die within a few years regardless of circumstance.

It entirely depends on the context, and situation.

What Good Are Watchtower Apologists To This Site?

by minimus in

jw
friends

personally, i like them here.

they provide themselves a purpose to make lurkers question the "apostates".

that's fair, imho.

kid-A

I have no doubt about their entertainment value. Beyond that, I see little use in their presence at all.

One could argue that they bring arguments concerning JW doctrine to the forefront of the discussions. This is only partially true, and in a very circumscribed way. The only "theme" that is ever debated by these "apologists" (ad nauseum I may add) is the 607 date. This has been going on for years at this site, with the same inevitable conclusion: circular debates going round and round, the same evidence trotted out, the same predictable denials by the apologists. The problem is, 607 is such small potatoes compared to what the public really NEEDS to know about the watchtower organization: the murderous blood policy, hypocrisy vis-a-vis the UN association, protection of child molesters, destruction of families, and the list goes on.

My own perception? The apologists have been using the 607 bible-chronology masturbation threads to DETRACT from the far more serious issues at hand. Given the amount of energy and bandwidth devoted on this board to "607" versus real issues of life and death concerning the borg, they have been royally successful in this aim.

Beyond the 607 club, the vast majority of apologist posters are hit-and-run nut-jobs intent at voicing their rage at our evil apostate agenda.

The board would be just as innovative, would cover just as many issues concerning the outrages of the WTS and have just as much appeal in the absence of watchtower apologists.

Kingdom Hall Duties

by KW13 in

friends

i remember even though i was young, i was 'mature' and i got the priv.

of doing microphones on certain occasions, helped the brother doing carpark e.t.c.

i used to hate mic's at our hall, they had cable attached so you were always tripping over this huge cable, or a sister would have it in her hand, then pull it, so you'd end up with this thing around your legs, basically attaching you to her.

kid-A

I used to do mics and sound booth duty for several years. Honestly, at the time I loved it, ANYTHING to take my mind off the droning dimwits spewing the watchtower propaganda on stage. At the very least it was something to do and allowed for some lower limb circulation! LOL. I was booted off this once they adopted a "no non-baptized helpers" policy. At which point I started sneaking down to the library and/or the nearby donut store until it was over.

Active JW Apologists: Did you take the OATH at the Convention?

by kid-A in

inquiring minds want to know: how did respond to oath # 7 which all jws were required to take at the latest dc?

"we will resist with all our strength the spirit of the world manifested in such things as materialism, unwholesome entertainment, overindulgence in food and alcoholic beverages, the plague of pornographic material and the curiosity or temptation that lures one into association with outsiders through internet chat rooms.

our resolve is to be no part of world as we carry on worship that is clean from the standpoint of our god.

Oh Linda (aka DTTP),

Surely you have realized by now that comments from trolls such as yourself have about as much impact and significance on this board a fart in a bottle?

I do agree with you however, trolling on discussion boards is'nt a worthy use of your talents. Perhaps you should go back to nose-picking, finger painting, or some

other such pursuit more worthy of your great intellect?
