  JEHOVAH - The biggest racist in history!?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many people like to boast about “jehovah being loving and impartial toward all”.

  there are even scriptures that say words to that effect.. however, if we look at just his actual conduct and actions , and not accept the words supposedly written by his apologetic “bible writers”, the facts tell us something else!.

  firstly, he chose one special nation and race of people.

  God takes on the personality and image of whoever is writing about it. Humans can be the biggest egomaniacs. "I'm a racist, so God must be one, too!"

  This claim has been disproven over and over again.

  First, that is a TERRIBLE photoshop job to try to make the Watchtower's CTR fit the narrative of whomever created that piece-meal document.

  Second, a little research will show you that this was a different Charles T. Russell. See this link for a full biography of the correct Charles T. Russell that was a Freemason. That Charles T. Russell was an attorney in Isabella County in the state of Michigan. https://archive.org/stream/portraitbiograph00ch#page/470/mode/2up

  I couldn't tolerate the cultural aspects of JWs that I grew up with. Their stance against education, the shunning of non-members, the belittling of women, and the mishandling of physical and sexual abuse within families in the congregations was enough for me to abandon ship. I observed all of these things first hand or experienced them myself. It was later after I left that I decided to do research and determined it was just another religion.

  Yes, the father and son Russell duo (Joseph and Charles) married the two Ackley sisters (Emma and Maria). That meant Emma was CTR's sister-in-law AND step-mother.

  Even more interesting ... the dad married the youngest Ackley sister. Joseph was 66/67 years old when he married 25ish year old Emma Ackley, making him more than 40 years her senior. Charles actually married the sister was two years his elder. 27 year old Charles married 29 year old Maria Ackley.

  Why are there more sisters than brothers at the Kingdom Hauls?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have always wondered why there are more females than males in all of the congregations that i have visited?

  some of these females are in their 70's so maybe their husbands have died and women just live longer.

  or could the reason be that years ago men were the breadwinners and women stayed home to raise the children thus they were home during the week when the jdubs came a knocking?

  I thought it was because the male animal has no season in which he is not willing to engage in the breeding act.

  so lloyd evans will shortly be releasing his new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  i do enjoy his rebuttals and the stuff he manages to get hold of and leak.

  but i'm struggling to understand what he could possibly write to merit a whole book.. all info on how to leave is right here on this forum.

  I think if he wants to write a second or third book, more power to him. It won't be for everybody. Personally, I like to watch his YouTube commentaries, and I appreciate anybody who is willing to publicly speak out against the wrong doings within the org. It takes a lot of time and money to do all that. It doesn't bother me one bit if he profits from it through books or videos or whatever. I am sure there are some who find his books useful, so I wish him success.

  Prince had enough fentanyl in his system to kill a horse or two

  by Wild_Thing in

  how can someone purposely take that much fentanyl and it still be considered an "accidental overdose"?

  i understand that they call it that because they don't think he was purposely trying to kill himself, but that would be like someone firing a fully loaded gun at their head and saying they were playing russian roulette.. his blood had 67.8 micrograms per liter.

  deaths have been documented in people with blood levels ranging from three to 58 micrograms per liter.

  Or three! How can someone purposely take that much fentanyl and it still be considered an "accidental overdose"? I understand that they call it that because they don't think he was purposely trying to kill himself, but that would be like someone firing a fully loaded gun at their head and saying they were playing Russian roulette.

  His blood had 67.8 micrograms per liter. Deaths have been documented in people with blood levels ranging from three to 58 micrograms per liter. He has set a new record.

  Levels of fentanyl in his liver was 450 micrograms per kilogram. A level greater than 69 is considered a fatal toxicity. Again ... wow.

  It is really sad. I really did think he was a musical genius. I wonder if he got hooked on this stuff before or after becoming a JW. It seems like that much in your system would impair your thinking ability. I would love to know if he had a clear head when he was dunked.

  Forgot to put in links:

  Here is the link for the Russell divorce transcripts. Use the search feature to search for "Cedar" and you'll find it. http://jwdivorces.bravehost.com/decisions/ctrdivorce.html

  Here is the link for the old directories where I grabbed the screen shots: http://digital.library.pitt.edu/collection/historic-pittsburgh-city-directories
