  The best way to debate JW's without being labeled an apostate

  by cookiemaster in

  hey guys!

  here's what i found to be the best way (for me at least) to debate jw's without earning the laber of apostate.

  this is mostly valid when debating jw's that don't know you personally, but it could help with those that do too.

  I have finally given up debating with a JW. I just tell them, point blank, that they are in a cult.

  Origin of Black Skin - JW.org Noah Movie

  by Bloody Hotdogs! in

  i've never seen this discussed here, so thought i'd bring it up:.

  as far as i can figure, jehovah's witnesses no longer teach that black skin is the result of a curse from god.

  instead, they seem to teach that canaan was already dark skinned when his father, ham, brought the curse of servitude upon their family.

  I read somewhere a new study that said 3% of Euro-Asians had Neantderthal genes in us! Neanderthal and Homo's were on Earth, simultaneiously for 60,000 years, and mated . . . . .

  (But, Humans are really only here on Earth for 6,000 years . . . . according to tight pants Tony and his buddies)

  Why should wealthy JWs show humility by giving up their material possessions? The WTS doesn't believe hte world is going to end soon. The WTS is investing in new headquarters, Kingdom Halls, Assembly centers, technology?

  Two men in my family were wanted by the high school coach for both baseball and football. Not allowed. Competition was evil.

  One girl was elibible for National Honor Society. Not allowed. Nationalistic was evil.

  One girl is a gifted singer, smacking good like Carrie Underwood. Singing & music lessons not allowed, nor was singing at any event. Too much emphasis on worldly places whre she'd sing.

  One was a gifted muscician. Not allowed to join marching band or regular band. Have to play Christmas/Holiday songs and support a competition event and a militaristic past to marching band.

  One was a gifted artist. Quit upon rejoining the Jehober's Witnesses. Took too much time away from door-to-door service.

  One was a gifted hockey goalie. Quit upon joining the Jehober's. Took too much time & competition.

  "Jehovah Witnesses are to live in this world, but not be a part of it." How many times did we hear this?

  ***************

  Now, the ones above who are no longer JWs, are all actively participating in these activities, as adults. They are avid, becuase they are making up for lost time. The ones who are still JWs, are not happy.

  Divorce courts want the parents to get along and not divide the children. The mother's actions in this case were very divisive. She's basically demonizing the father's choices to allow the children to participate in organized events. I wonder if the JW literature on organized sports and bands were brought out to this court. It doesn't matter if they played at a Baptist church or in a county league, the mother being a JW wouldn't have permitted it. Competition, fear of playing holiday or national music, is banned for Jehovah's Witnesses. While the mother has a choice to not participate in these activities herself, can she thwart the father's choice to allow his children to do these activities? Becuase both being in a band and playing soccer are wholesome activities, the judge rightly sided with the father. Good Job New ZEaland. I would love to send these kids a small Christmas gift.

  I didn't ask for a movie shot from the soldiers, I was asking about that particular event you were describing. I know there are Christian terrorists, as I explained. Was there a link to a Christian group, symbol, message that the criminal used before, during, or as justification for his offenses that you mentioned?

  I can't see your Battle Hymn video, but I think it was likely from a WWII movie. I remember my history, that was U.S. against Nazi Fascists. Nazi's used an ancient symbol, the swastica. They used it so terribly, they changed the world's view of it. It's a dirty symbol that signifies the killing of millions of Jewish people. Nazi's were terrorists who were searching for an Arian ideal and world domination. If a person killed anyone today, using a Nazi flag or swastica symbol, we'd say they are Fascist Terrorists, even though the Nazis and Hitler don't exist. It doesn't matter if it's a lone wolf, it's the motivation.

  Yes, Christians and Europeans have been terrorists. You don't like it? If you don't, get your rear to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and go live in a goat loving country where the goats walk wierd and the women are black & blue. You don't have to be sillly sheep with us. And, don't let the door hit you in the butt if you decide to go.

  JW.org Kiosks whats up with these? Where did this idea come?

  has anyone seen these in their area.

  they are kiosks, small buildings either inside an area of a larger building like a mall or outside by themselves maybe on a major street.

  not sure whats all in them but from what i can gather there a bigger fancier version of the book shelf on wheels that is so popular now.

  It's "Jah In A Box." Drive in a Worldly Person destined to die in Armegheddon, and come out a Jehovah's Witness with no hobbies, no advanced education, no retirement, no savings, no self-worth or self-identity, have children who are raped by pedophiles, be forced into a quicky marraige, be beat up by your elder husband, told not to invovle the police authorities with the crimes you are exposed to, forced to cool/end your relationships your non-JW family & friends, and lose your JW friends/family by shunning if you ever decide to leave the Borg. Yep, as unhealthy as any fast food restaurant can be! Clogs your heart too. Should be a Surgeon's Warning on this place.

  JWs are tired of going door-to-door. Let them sit in their box instead. It's "Jah in a Box."

  Those old pictures are just wonderful. I am reminded that at the time of the picutres, owning a car & a record player was a spanky new thing. Even as impressive as driving a car while blaring a message out of a radio box was . . . . it didn't garner support from the masses. Why? Becuase the masses knew the JWs were a wack-a-doodle religion. Today, having a smart phone is the spankiest new thing. The JWs are trying to look spanky again, with their cool box and promotionals. I don't think it will garner support from the masses. Instead of wack-a-doodle, the masses are going to use their Internet on the smart phones to quickly figure out that JW.Org is the website for a cult that hides pedophiles. (sorry for all the 'spanky' words being used here today. I read the spanx thread).

  There are Christians who terrorize abortion clinics and gun down abortion doctors. They may be lone wolves, but they are doing it under the "flag" of Christian beliefs. Likewise, this Sydney man flew an Islamic terrorist flag. He didn't fly Dunkin Donuts' flag, or Hitler's flag. So, if he flies an Islamic terrorist flag while holding up a cafe, I'd say he's an Islamic terrorist (singular). The fact that he's likely a a nutjob adds to the fact. There are nutjob Christians, nutjob Jehovah's Witnesses, nutjob Democrats, nutjob Republicans, nutjob squirrels...... The most "sane" people don't always join the sweetest religions. The crazier and more strict the religion, the more people in need are attracted to it. And, some of those with the biggest needs are the nutjobs.

  Fulltime Student - Did the person do this crime while holding up a Christian symbol, a bible, Jesus Loves Me, writing a Christian manefesto, screaming Armeghedoon & Hell Fire, etc? I hoenstely don't know, so I ask. If he did this while holding up these symbols or shouting Christian fear-type mongering, then he should be labelled a Christian Terrorist.

  "About one year ago, only about 100 metres from here, and outside the Parliament building in Macquarie Street, a lone Christian, started a similar action. He claimed to have filled his car with enough explosive to destroy the building, and he threatened that he would do just that, if the government did not reverse a failed legal action he had been involved in. Much as I dislike Christianity, (nearly as much as I dislike Islam) I do not think that what this mentally disturbed 'Christain' did would justify a headline of "Christian Terrorism."
