I'd need a list of JW businesses.

Hey, I'm in Florida too.
And I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that, though I'm not sure you fully get the joke yet.

Like the JWs are going to go "Wow, I'm unhappy, so I think I'll skip the meetings in February."
Seriously.

If it wasn't for my current living conditions I would celebrate Christmas with a Black Mass this year. Maybe I can whip something together and head into the woods or something.

I know how you feel. I live every day thinking about it. I'm writing a book, actually. A lot of it is about that. I write a lot of poetry also. A lot of the music I listen to is very influenced by those sorts of themes as well.

How could a dead man seek to kill Baby Jesus?
by THE SHOOTIST inhistorians say that king herod the great the famous baby killer who sought to kill baby jesus, died in the year 4 b.c.. now all those religious groups like the jws who believe jesus was born oct 1/2, 2 b.c.
seem to have a real problem reconciling that with historians.
how could a man dead for 2 years carry out this act of aggression against the son of god?

If the slaughter was only in Bethlehem, why did they flee all the way to Egypt? And why are there no historical records of any such thing taking place?

Is the "Good News" really about 1914?
by rockhound in"the good news" that jehovahs witnesses preach from door to door, world wide, has a definite theme that is different than "the good news" preached by the churches of christendom.
"let the honest-hearted person compare the kind of preaching of the gospel done by the religious systems of christendom during all the centuries with that done by jehovah's witnesses since the end of world war i in 1918. they are not one and the same kind.
that of jehovah's witnesses is really "gospel" or "good news," as of god's heavenly kingdom that was established by the enthronement of his son jesus christ at the end of the gentile times in 1914.

As the article I posted in another thread here mentioned, Aleister Crowley made a pretty big deal about 1914 as well. He called it the end of the Aeon of Osiris and the beginning of the Aeon of Horus, the crowned and conquering king. Both Russell and Crowley were fairly obsessive about Egypt, both using Egyptian logos and motifs. Crowley believed that WWI began because of his publication of the Book of the Law.
Crowley had been a member of the Golden Dawn and formed the OTO, both of which may have Masonic ties.

Interesting that you brought this up, as I am working on a page on my site about Russel's ties to the Masons. The pictures I'm sure you've all seen before, but my slant might be a little different. There is definately more to be added soon about the JW ties to the United Nations and thus the New World Order.

I was never baptised, no. My mom is a JW. She was converted by my aunt, who strangely enough is one of the most arrogant and condescending people I've ever met. My dad isn't one. My mom converted after they were married. I never told my dad this but I resent him for allowing my mother to raise us in that cult. I think he's figured it out because I sort of make snide remarks about it... like he mentioned a birthday cake in the house, and I said something about how that would be a first, and mentioned "I've never had one because I was raised in a cult."
A few years back I kind of got him too, because it was around this time and the radio was playing Christmas music and it was pissing me off(as always - I hate Christmas). I commented on how I was sick of hearing it. He made a comment about how he thought it was nice. I asked him "So what did you get me this year?" He got really quiet.
I can't talk to my mom about it much though; my dad forbade me from trying to debunk her faith. He feels that proving to her it's all a big joke would hurt her and he doesn't want to see her hurt. I guess he didn't care that it hurt us.
My sister says she's over it. She actually gets mad if I mention that it hurt me. She thinks I should just grow up and shut up about it. My brother on the other hand committed suicide a few years ago. Seems that is a very JW thing, as a friend of my moms, also a JW, killed himself in the last month. My brother was not a JW when he did it, but he was raised as one. Not sure how much it influenced his actions, because he had a lot of problems anyway. I'm not going to sit and say that being raised as one of them caused all his problems. I don't know the extent to which it did.
Guess I'll get to other things as they're mentioned. I'm surprised at the quick replies; thanks.

I was raised as a JW. Around 14 I stopped believing, for the most part. By 18-19 I was an athiest and agnostic. I kind of went back and forth. I tried out different religions. At this stage I'm basically an athiest. I guess. Hard to describe. I suppose that makes me agnostic.
Anyway, I probably joined this board before. I don't remember. If I did, it was at least four years ago. Don't feel like typing up a massive biography right now but you'll learn more about me as I post. And probably wish that you didn't.
Is there some way to have signatures on here?
Anyway, later.
