  GB MEMBER Herd Says Just Because You're A JW It Doesn't Mean Anything!

  there's a tape circulating around the witnesses stating that when the separation of the sheep and goats happens, witnesses shouldn't think that they will automatically be saved just because they're witnesses.

  if they aren't wholesouled, then they should not expect that having one foot in the "truth" and the other in the world will let them make it through the great tribulation....herd was trying to motivate the troops!

  Jim Jones had a term for this tactic....."White Night." Fear and disorientation.

  The Watchtower denies Newton's Third Law in this article, have they ever retracted this I wonder, or is this still official teaching? I mean we're talking about one of the lynchpins of modern science here....

  Notes: Friday District Convention - Follow the Anointed Who Follow Christ

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today was the first day of three for this year's "follow the christ" district convention.. for the first time in as many years as i can go back, the theme of this program was jesus christ.. most of the program was ok. the talks considered jesus, his life and his works.

  there was nothing about the talks that i considered insulting or controlling.. could this be it?

  could the society really be going jesus-centric?.

  He says there are three lines of reasoning to prove the FDS was selected by Christ? What are they? From what you have recounted the speaker offered no such proof. Such typical JW shill-gaming.

  Did paintball at the weekend

  it was for a birthday treat for one of my friends, me and his best friend arranged it and wow was it a laugh!

  i got some good bruises going on, but thats all part of the fun.. i'd always wanted to do it, and apart from doing something called laser quest, which is just light guns, i'd always considered it to much of a no no, when a dub.

  i recommend it to anyone, there was men, women, children of say 13 or 14 too, the paint balls are a bit pricy but if its a one off, and the memories you take away are great.. cs 101.

  I got into paintball the year I decided to leave the "truth." It was very liberating. I've since played in several large scenario games, including Oklahoma D-Day. That's when paintball becomes very fun! There's nothing like jumping out of the back of a moving tank (modified van) and storming an entrenched position with six other dudes, screaming bloody murder all the way......

  What a rush!

  I'm a huge Don Imus fan, I've listened to him every morning on the way to work for years. The man has done a lot of good for a lot of people. When this controversy first broke I took his side, but now I don't know.

  The women on the Rutgers basketball team are role models, perfect examples of the success that honest, hard work can achieve. At the high point of their lives they deserve better than to be referred to in such gangsta' rap rhetoric. Ultimately, Don Imus' future rests in their hands.

  i'm just going to start at the beginning.. i was anticipating the memorial all day.

  i was nervous but excited, kind of like standing in line for a roller coaster.. ok. so erika gets ready at her house, and i get ready at mine.

  i'm wearing a black suit with a light green shirt, and a tie that had hues of green and yellow in it.

  I love your mothers words, "it was YOUR choice." I think your Mom and my Mom are clones.

  Richie you are a very brave man, and I commend you for that. It sounds to me like you have a very special girlfriend, take care of her bro! Speaking to you as a man who has suffered for years with a similar mother let me say this....your mother loves you very deeply, but will probably never be able to fully accept you. You strike me as a highly intelligent person, take advantage of it! Get your degree, live a successful life. The best revenge is living well.

  Parallels between Jonestown and WT org?

  by skeptic1914 in

  how many saw the recent "jonestown-paradise lost" on the history channel?

  i realize the suicide/murder of over 900 in jonestown, guyana on novemebr 18, 1978 may be old news but i've always been interested in how cult leaders hold power over their believers.

  i've been reluctant to classify jw as a cult but some obvious parallels struck me:.

  "White night, white night."

  I watched the documentary. The thing that struck my was the look on people's faces. It reminded me of the glazed stare of Witnesses.

  Doing your own building work. Success or Disaster?

  i've recently had a burst water pipe in my house, which now gives me the chance (courtesy of the insurance cheque.

  i'm lucky to have a good friend who's a carpenter so he'll be doing the complicated stuff, but while i'm happy to have a go at general diy, i'm always stressed about screwing up, rather than just getting on with it and enjoying it.

  do you do your own diy, plumbing, wiring etc.

  I recently remodeled my kitchen, bear in mind that I'm a licensed electrician who also used to frame houses and work on Quick Builds. I thought I'd knock my kitchen out in a couple of weeks and have a grand old time. Wrong! A kitchen remodel is the biggest undertaking a DIY can face. Just be prepared, it's a lot more work than you may expect.
