  god announces plans to slowly wean humans off religion.

  the heavenssaying that the various belief systems had a good run over the last few millennia but that it was probably time for humans to get by on their own, the lord our god, he who is seen and unseen, proclaimed monday that he would begin slowly weaning humanity off religion.

  religion was definitely helpful for humans when they first started out, but now it seems like its pretty much served its purposetime to take the training wheels off, said god, who argued that while the transition from religion might be difficult for a large segment of the population, ultimately humankind would be better off without it in the long run.

  God Announces Plans To Slowly Wean Humans Off Religion

  THE HEAVENS—Saying that the various belief systems had a “good run” over the last few millennia but that it was probably time for humans to get by on their own, the Lord Our God, He Who Is Seen And Unseen, proclaimed Monday that He would begin slowly weaning humanity off religion. “Religion was definitely helpful for humans when they first started out, but now it seems like it’s pretty much served its purpose—time to take the training wheels off,” said God, who argued that while the transition from religion might be difficult for a large segment of the population, ultimately humankind would be better off without it in the long run. “It’s not like I’m going to get rid of religion all in one go or anything; I’ll wind it down gradually over the next 500 years or so. Really, when you take a good look at it, the negatives are starting to outweigh the positives anyway.” At press time, God was implementing the first stage of His plan by effecting the opposite outcome of every prayer He received.a

  Won't get fooled again ...Moon Landing.

  by The Rebel in

  2. friends

  so i was fooled by the witnesses.

  what can i learn from that?

  not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

  I know its partly my fault but can you all go out and have some fun or get laid and stop researching moon facts, just say it happened and move on. Its distracting from the real issue... aliens!

  They blew their load with with Jesus drama. All these years and they finally did it. Last ditch effort. Actually I think they will be stretching the Jesus dramas out for a while to come.

  so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.

  we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.

  but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.

  Witnesses are conditioned to have an answer to everything (even if it's totally wrong) and for everything (even if it's wrong).

  They act as if they accepted the universe as the indifferent place it is with infinite unanswered questions, then being alive sucks. That is sad. Choosing a comforting deferred reality instead of being humble and courageous enough to be otherwise.

  wt publications http://www.a2z.org/wtarchive/archive.htm (old).

  united nations http://www.randytv.com/secret/unitednations.htm .

  when pornography is mentioned by the wts they mean men, who obviously cant control their sexual desires, so that even a moment is too much.

  It's such a joy to talk about all this stuff in front of 100 prudes. Also kids. The jws obsession with sex shaming is unhealthy at best.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in today's wt study it makes the point that just glancing at the opposite sex is flirting and can lead to sex!.

  so are jw's now to wear blinkers?.

  also jw's are told to go and confess to the elders if they have any immoral thoughts?!!.
