in genesis 6:5 jehovah confirmed to jehovah that all actions from man would be bad and only bad and all the time.
does that not make genesis 6:8 a bad thing?
a willingly forced respect toward jehovah that was enough foundation to build love from.
But the witnesses mindlessly parrot God doesn't force us to do anything... Just like when you say you are stuck in a cult... you are free to leave and do whatever you want...
Who is so f---ing stupid as to say God doesn't force you to love him, he'll just kill you if you don't...
cult brain damage.
from so many posts and conversations on here, you'd think over 1/2 the posters here possess doctorates in theology, physics, biology, etc.
i'm curious aside from the books and research people have done here, what degrees they have.
to start, i just got an aa and going straight through full time to an mba.
Bachelors degree in business.
I needed it to get where I am, but I feel unless you are learning a technical skill, its just an accomplishment. Super successful people often have no university degree, and some people that have them become wealthy because they are the same type of person, educated or not.
A formal education will make you a living, self education will make you a fortune...
Learn to hustle.
oh...my...god.... i can't.. well, i am officially done trying to explain things to them.
they talk in circles, and their excuse for everything is "imperfect men".
imperfect men!.
All witnesses need a plexiotomy. Thats where you install a window on your front abdomen so you can see with your head up your ass.
The two things I see they rely on to get away with murder is 1. imperfect men,but they are trying!, and 2. god is revealing things gradually because we can't handle the truth up front.
All nonsense. The gradual light brighter BS, when has he ever let his servants in the bible believe ongoing lies and changes in his "doctrine"? Maybe on some grand scale, but little truths were not constantly re-understood over time.
this was my first memorial thinking outside of the box.
last year i was starting to have questions but this is the first year i noticed a lot of bs.
can anyone clarify a few things for me?.
(follow up to my last post).
i let it rip.
i can't take stupidity from people i thought were capable of using their brain.
omg i've never read this before or if i did i never caught it... .
13 [a]if a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder,2 and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them, 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the lord your god is testing you to find out if you love the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 you shall follow the lordyour god and fear him; and you shall keep his commandments, listen to his voice, serve him, and cling to him.
i honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.
oh yeah????.
he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!
There was a lot of don't partake propaganda (I think its embarrassing to them the number increases, now they just threaten).
Also in my extra faded state and a new hall I would say at least half the audience were us, faders, slackers and exjw's. wild to think that many in this hall don't attend any meetings, the org might be in worse shape than I imagined.
" --only those in the kingdom covenant were served the bread & wine by jesus--" ---false!
this phrase switches from the forgiveness of sin part to the exclusive anointed club section of the memorial talk, and it is false because: the kingdom covenant was done after the passover was done.
and the promise of thrones and judging israel in math 19:28 was not a covenant but an assurance.

lol sorry Morpheus, I give you permission to shun me for all eternity for disrespecting the one true god Thor.
But seriously I was reading some satanic luciferian propaganda about the Aten's somewhere I had also heard YHWH may have been their storm god...
In any event I have insulted Thor and now am an Apostate in his site, Thor forgive me!
this is my first post here though i've been a long time lurker.
my story in a nutshell:.
started having doubts after the new silver sword and watchtower study regarding overlapping generations.
