WT 4/1/2002 - "Should Faith Be Based on Re...

by Scully in

jw
friends

honestly, i read the first paragraph and burst out laughing.

do they not have a clue that this applies to their own followers??.

i've included the first article, and am mid-way through transcribing the second one, which i'll finish tomorrow when i come home from work.. feel free to comment too!.

D8TA

(Concerning the situation in North America, one religion writer said: “Christianity. . . tends to be superficial, [and] its adherents are poorly educated in the faith.” A pollster even went so far as to describe the United States as “a nation of biblical illiterates.”)

Another DEMONSTRATION of the WT's continued VAGUE and ANONYMOUS quotes. (which I bet are out of context)

One thing that has always bothered me, is the lack of WHO writes these articles. I'm positive that all us X-JW's remember that the publishers of these handy toilet paper alternative magazines like to say..."oh, but it's out of humility they dont assign names to articles".

Bullshit.

so what are your habits on this board?.

do you read everyday?when you get up , when you get home from work, all day even?.

is this the only forum you go on?.

D8TA

I check in once, sometimes twice, a day. I'm not what you call a "frequent" poster. Am I a troll? Naw. I only go to two message boards. Here, and the MMORPG game board that I play.

JW's Claim the Truth...Where's the Proof

by Double Edge in

jw
friends

ok, i'm a senior member, but still 'new' to this board.

since i'm not a jw or ex-jw, can someone please explain to me how jw's trace their 'authority' to be the true church that god set up.

a jw friend of mine said they go back 6,000 years.

D8TA

I think the best one I remember is:

"Well, um see, there's always been people who err, thought the same way we do. Yah, that's it. That's it. And see, these people who thought the same as we do go back to when the congregations were started. They just never, eehhh, organized....yaaah, thaat's it. And, and, well...some of them were to afraid to say anything because, um, the churches would persecute 'em. Yaah, that's it."

I luuuuv them broad analogies of vague people holding a common idea, with absolutely no proof, no records, no evidence to back it up.

Cyberstalking

by Valentine in

jw
friends

cyberstalking behavior is defined as one or more of a constellation of behaviors directed toward a specific individual/s which is experienced as intrusive and unwanted.. while the legal definition varies from state to state they all contain 3 elements.. 1. a pattern/course of conduct of behavioral intrusion.attempts to breach their privacy.. 2.implicit or explicit threats(you insulted me once so now im gonna dog you forever).

3.the willful malicious and repeated following and harrassing(come out and play)which means i want to fight w/ you.. the internet can be used for 2 criminal functions:.

to gather private info on the target to further pursue her.

D8TA

"To gather private info on the target to further pursue HER"

Ummm...yah. Is this saying that the victim can't be a HIM?

Ever have a woman stalk a man?
A man stalk a man?

Nice conditioning. Men can't be victims when it comes to:

Stalking
Sexual Harrassment
Domestic Violence
Sexual Assault
Rape
Emotional abuse
Blackmail
Bullying

No of course men can't. Gotta condition the populace that MEN are be held accountable for these actions against WOMEN. Silly me, how could I even THINK a man could stalk myself (I'm a guy.) Or a WOMAN sexually harrass me.

And before we start this "statistics" shiet, lemme just put for the record that more men are raped then women yearly in the U.S. Ooooh, sure the majority of the male rape victims are in prisons...but you have to acknowledge that every car thief should have their pooper stuffed. Or that dad who didn't keep up with his child support payments. (sarcasm implied with these following sentences).

Problem is, I think we should stop this male or female, this race or that race is a victim only crap. Anyone can be a victim to a heinous act, and the perp should suffer high penalties for it. This labeling conditioning needs to end. It's only purpose is to exclude and prompt speacial treatment.

A anology I use to get my foot in the door of a closed mind, when it comes to the "New Light" argument.

Just throwing this out there:

You live near a river that is your source of drinking water. This river flows from a toxic lake. Now...even though many filtering plants and diluting processes have been set in place in the river, would you still feel comfortable drinking from that river?

Where to go? Where to go?

You are better off on your own, then following a false prophet.

Shows how deep the clawz that one organiztion can have in people. It's comparable to a drug habit, unless YOU...YOURSELF, feel the NEED to quit it aint going to happen.

Is it OK to kill somebody?

by julien in

jw
friends

speaking entirely from a biblical standpoint:.

let's say you are a devout jw.

your wife and children are being threatened by an intruder with a gun.

D8TA

Here in WA, we always have the "once a year" news report that has some lawyer contesting the home invasion act. Here in WA, if an intruder enters your home, JUSTIFIED HOMICIDE BABY! And every year, you get the "robber invades home, gets the sh*t kicked out of him and his defense lawyer cries boo-hoo". And every year, that defense lawyer get tossed down with the "T.S., your client should of never invaded someones home".

Some states require the intruder to be "armed", or "over the threshold" of a homes door. Heck, we had a case about 5 years ago, with some teens kicking on a door and an elderly lady shot a revolver thru here door hitting and killing one of the teens. They tried to prosecute her, didn't fly with the judge, she sued the city of Seattle, because of the invasion law she won mucho moolah.

Lesson? For you freaks who live in WA, and feel crime pays...it does, with your life.

WTBTS SW Quotes

by D8TA in

jw
friends

i'm bored, have to admit it.

done studying for school for the day, and mmorpg servers are down for an hour or so.

so for those who want, pick a good star wars quote (any episode...or heck, any movie) and give it a wtbts spin on it.

Examples:

"Fear will keep the local systems in line, Fear of this battlestation".

translate to:

"Fear will keep the congregations in line, Fear of the WT and Awake".

few more:

"I am altering the doctrine, pray I dont alter it any further".

Questions

by Snowflake in

jw
friends

i really want to read the cofc book, what's the best way to get it?.

also, what is the wts gaining by keeping the org.

is it a money thing?

D8TA

Nytelecom1...now that you've been exposed to pretty much "FACTS" about the WTBTS, you're ignorance is no longer an issue. Pretty much, anyone can assume that you've dabbled in looking up the failed prophetic tripe that the WTBTS has issued since it's conception. That it has "fornicated" with it's own definition of the "Scarlet Beast". It's fickle doctrine, and baseless theology. This exposure has brought you out of ignorance. Now that you hold the knowledge, and go against it, this simply describes you in the defintion of one being "stupid".

Unless of course you are really not a JW, in which case you need some serious work with that huge mellon on your shoulders.

But, every kingdom needs it court jester, and you fit it well for these boards
