THERE IS NO LOVE IN THAT CULT!
Now that I got that out the way, this is just another example of how powerful the conditioning and programing is.
..........said mrs punk!.

in fairness i wouldn't have said a thing but he asked me.

what's the point of jesus if adam & eve did not 'fall' and condemn us all to sin?.
bttt
the sunday after every memorial they intruduce a new talk, which is the 'special talk'.. this year it's called: "is it later than you think".
anyone able to provide me the outline?.
Note to the speaker:
Exhort the audience "on the basis of love,"
Anybody else find it odd that they put "on the basis of love" in quotations?!?
"i contend that we are both atheists.
i just believe in one fewer god than you do.
when you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why i dismiss yours.

Darth you said: "If you claim the bible and said bible is used to destroy that argument the final reply is always some etheral aspect that just has to happen."
voices: I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean. I think you're saying something like 'putting down the bible, but then using it to prove a point.' ....i could be wrong, could you explain please?
What I mean is most religous folk point to the bible, but if I show them a scripture from the bible that proves my point or shows a contradiction, most bible folks response is along the lines that there has to be some unique spiritual event that happens in your life that will suddenly make you see or understand the nature of god and the bible.
just having a rant.. it has been over 6 months now since i was disfellowshipped for being gay or whatever it was, and i still do not give a damn.
it hasnt fazed me one bit.
we even went on our first holiday to italy the other week.
UM...Yeah whatever
Dude you need to tell us about this holiday in Italy!
I know this board is for rants ( I've done my share) but a vacation in Italy had to be great. I hope to visit there one day but its not in the foreseable future. Got any pics you can share?
ok i was a born in and never watched or touched anything to do with hypnotist's as we are told to avoid them at all costs and i always followed all the rules to the letter.. so yesterday we have the county fair going on and they have this hypnotist show so i went to it.
the hypnotist called up about 15 people on stage and tried to put them under.
about five of them he just could not put them under so that left about ten people on stage.. of those ten the hypnotist could do almost anything to them, it looked like it was staged expect one of the young women had been sitting right by me and her friends were right next to me, so it did seem legit.. the hypnotist had them fall asleep and when they were in that state he would tell them that when they woke up they would react to key words he had said to them or when he touched his face a cretin way.. it sort of freaked me out because it was like how i was in the religion.
Would like to say I do not necesarily subscribe to those beliefs, I just found this outsiders take on Franz to be interesting.

I have been reading this book about hypnosis and mind control and here was an interesting excerpt:
B. How To Program With Hypnosis
George Estabrooks was the first major hypnotist to publicly
recognize the potential for hypnosis. He contacted MI-6 and other
military and intelligence groups in hopes he could interest them in
the military-intelligence potentials of hypnosis. What was George
Estabrook's connection to the Illuminati? George Estabrooks was a
Rhodes Scholar, which is an entry-level group for the Illuminati.
For those who haven't studied this, it would be appropriate to give
a brief explanation of these things. The Illuminati in 1919 created
the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA). The Astor
Illuminati family were major financial backers of the RIIA.
Waldorf Astor was appointed to the RIIA. The American equivalent
to the RIIA is the CFR. The RIIA and CFR set up Round Table
Groups (based on the King Arthur myths) which were initially
named by Cecil Rhodes "Association of Helpers".
High ranking
Mason/Illuminatus Cecil Rhodes also created the Rhodes
Scholarship to bring select men from several the English speaking
world and Germany to learn how to bring in the One World
Government that the Illuminati has long had planned. The Cliveden
Estate of the Cliveden Astors (of the Illuminati) has played an
important role in the preparation of Rhodes Scholars.
Bill Clinton
and Fred Franz, the late president of the Watchtower Society, are
two examples of men selected for Rhodes Scholarships. Bill
Clinton went through the program. However, Franz decided not to
go to London in order to help lead C.T. Russell's cult as "oracle"
after WT Pres. C.T. Russell was ritually killed on Halloween, 1916
and his remains buried under a pyramid. He later served as
President himself from 1977-1994. The Watchtower Society
leadership is a front for a part of the Illuminati which practices
Enochian Magic.
The power of Enochian magic is the Watchtowers. A powerful part
of Bethel headquarter workers are Multiple Personalities, and have
cult alters who speak in Enochian. Some multiples work in the art
department and have been secretly placing hidden occult
symbology into Watchtower & Awake! magazines.
And for those wondering what Enochian magic entails
we here are so much an even smaller gene pool....and there is no substitute for commonality when making friends so we have a bond and brotherhod as well....and i can say that there is a great opportunity to meet and make new friends here.....you may have to be willing to travel a bit....but wow did i just enjoy meeting four of my new jwn friends here in vegas!!!!!!!
....loved it!!!
!.........oompa.....i swear part of me wants to move to vegas....ny....and saba....all at the same time..........oompa.
Yeah meeting others with similar experiences and past is a hoot.

Voices you are beating around the bush.
LWT answered your question and you are not satisfied or will not accept his answer.
This goes back to your 1st post where you stated:
There is a God and the false representation of him through religion has cast a great dark shadow that is hard to see through.
This is not just the religions its THE PEOPLE who claim to be god fearing and to transcend religion but they STILL have the judgemental attitude against those who dont share their belief.
In all the ways religous folk claim we are suppose to get to know god is subject to personal interpretation. If you claim the bible and said bible is used to destroy that argument the final reply is always some etheral aspect that just has to happen.
I'll repeat LWT question:
In your opinion, what method does God use to reach the people he intends to save?
