Recorded Conversation with elder

by Shepherd Book in

let's just say, hypothetically speaking, that an elder called me on the phone recently.

let's also say, hypothetically, that i just so happen to be recording the conversation.

let's then say he called me again and recorded it again.

It's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission.

Do You Know Any Hardcore Apostates?

by R.F. in

jw
friends

are there any very active apostates in your area?.

i'm talking about the snarling, fire-breathing, district convention picketing, apostates that are an absolute nuisance to local congregations, and are very irritating thorns in the side of the watchtower society.. i don't know of any in my area but i've heard rumors of one group in particular that is well known and very active.

if it's true i'd like to find out who they are.

I long to be the hardest core apostate that has ever lived. I want to make Danny Hazzard look like a kitten.

Dude,
You are getting all worked up over myths. MYTHS! There never was an Adam and Eve. And there is no Santa. There was no Jesus. There was no Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We know this now. We know that the Bible was compiled by Levitical prietsts a short time before the supposed time of christ, and that they are collections of myths of other peoples - not Jews. They are Summerian, Egyptian, Greek, N. African and so on. There is no such thing as Jehovah. That was just a Jewish tribal god patterned after an Egyptian god with a similar name. These are facts that are just about as reliable a history as history can get. It is backed by scholars, and scientists not magicians, charlatans, magic tonic sellers, VooDoo, wickety wackity abracadabra bull shit arrogant narrow minded apologistic religious wackos. So do you want to buy a love tonic or do you want calm cool rational history and science by people who don't want to sell you something, but just want to find the truth, and BE ABLE TO PROVE IT TO YOU and not say, "believe this cause we said so, or the Bible says so." ? You have been fed lies all your life, and science is the only field that commits to PROOF BEFORE BELIEF, NOT AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Religious people and Bible thumpers have that reversed, they believe before the proof. They are idiots, and are ignorantly taken in by every traveling salesman out there with the next new cure-all tonic or christ/savior. This is what I hear when someone says Jesus now a days: "DUH. (and slobber out the mouth.)"

If They Weren't a Cult Before.....

by AllTimeJeff in

i just wanted to officially change something on my viewpoint.

i have thought about this for a few days.

i used to think that while they were in some ways controlling, that jw's did not meet the criteria of a cult totally.

Conspiracy against the Watchtower

by Hiddenwindow in

jw

here is one question that has been bothering me for quite some time.

do you think a revolution, so to speak, within the organization is possible?

in other words, can any conspiracy against the watchtower succeed?

One thing that exited me was a sexual revolution. It seems that having sex for the first time opened my eyes intellectually as well as emotionally. Sexual revolutions, Claiming our own sexual organs as our own with the right to do as we feel with them is a great beginning to a revolution in other areas. It's not a coincidence that many leave after having sex. Even if they didn't get kicked out, they experienced what it feels like to rebel, and this feeling tends to be like a snowball. I fantisize about running a brothel that goes out and picks up JWs and solicits them for free sex. Such an enterprize would exit far more witnesses than trying to argue semantics and logic. Then once they are out, by choice or by force, they then feel free-er to question and read critical books etc.
