  Subliminal images - why and who are the individuals behind it?

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  i remember about 5 years ago reading on another site about subliminal images in wt literature.

  i honestly thought it a load of bs until i checked out one glaringly obvious image of a creepy skull in clouds within the knowledge book.

  i was shocked and even showed my wife at the time who thought it was creepy.. so my question is why?

  Another Syrian (22) interfered and “in doing so, prevented worse,” Chief Prosecutor Gernot Bantleon reports.

  Wonder why that point wasn't highlighted?

  The spinning blade of a Sword and the 2 Angels guarding the gate....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  for some reason i found myself shaking my head once again in disbelief at the story in genesis.. amongst all things, the very concept of a "flaming sword" spinning around and blocking the "entrance to the garden of eden" is so stupid!.

  do people really believe that as a fact?.

  seriously, swords were not even invented at that time!

  I know it's hard to do but try stop taking Genesis literally

  Jesus did. He said the flood happened. Which is BS.

  And of course there's 2 Tim 3:16.

  Either it's all inspired or it isn't...

  Seriously, swords were not even invented at that time! So how could they use a flaming sword?
  

  When talking to JW relatives I point out two things.

  1. The Tree of Life was not a symbolic tree. It was a magic tree because if Adam and Eve, or their descendants, got to it and ate from it they would live forever. Hence the angels and spinny sword.
  

  2. This account means that God, the God of peace, invented the first sword.

  Strangely enough they change the subject soon after.

  Jim and Linda Cleary.....now there,s a story !

  Jim was our CO in the mid-90s.

  A self righteous idiot, who was a big Trekkie. He would insist that ST:TNG was recorded by his host family when it was on. Got very stressed when someone forgot.
  

  He was loved and loathed fairly evenly. He told me whillst we were on the ministry how his body of elders had found out that a lad had watched Aliens (an 18 rated film he stressed) so they D'fd him for his lack of repentance.

  He had a habit of moving the podium away so it didn't block him. So he'd be standing there just behind the microphone. Seemed to love everyone being able to see him fully.
  

  Years later we heard some stories about him.

  Firstly that he'd left his wife amd run with some other woman.

  Then that this was totally untrue.

  Then that it was true.

  So we never got to the bottom of it.

  Is this where he ended up?

  The five-strong team are all Jehovah’s Witnesses, with Liz Henderson and Micah Alford there daily, Natalie Webb works part-time and book-keeper Jim Cleary comes in once a week. “We take our religion seriously, but not ourselves,” said Jim, summing up the warm atmosphere around the place in an instant.

  God of the Old Testament

  by unsure in

  2. beliefs

  to those on these forums who are christian and or to those who believe in the god of the old testament; how does one overcome many of the questionable actions god took or allowed to happen in the old testament?.

  many if not most of us have heard of criticisms of the god of the old testament.

  you can find these criticisms on many websites.. how do you explain to an honest hearted person why god acted the way they did?.

  Try to be specific because the Bible is full of stories.

  Shall i go on?

  You may need to as they've gone very quiet.

  The Trump Connection

  by Coded Logic in

  i'm a little dumb struck to see that donald trump's first cross word against russia are in support of the jws.. http://fox-news24.com/trump-warns-russia-over-jehovahs-witnesses-ban-and-urges-members-to-seek-asylum-in-the-us/.

  is this because trump genuinely values freedom of religion?

  or is it because his son in law jared kushner has financial dealings with the jws?

  Was looking at my childhood book "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained" I found something interesting.

  i was showing a friend of mine what kind of books my parents allowed me to read when i was very young.

  no children books that was age related but the so called orange paradise book was my only children book i had.

  she was taken back on how violent it was and showing little kids being killed by god was just unspeakable.

  Upon closer inspection I see we are wrong. That is not a little girl with a doll! Notice how it is a matter of perspective. That is another girl/woman down below her. She is not holding the hand of the girl/ supposed dolly, below. Notice also how the "little girl" has breasts. I fear we are all mistaken.

  Phew - that's alright then.
