Star Killer Base discovered

by Coded Logic in

dimming star remains mystery, but it's likely not caused by comets.

remember that space anomaly of the dimming star that had everyone crying "aliens"?

well, it's still as mysterious as ever.

Mysteries are very cool. I like following this one.

WT Study 1/10/16 Encouraging Child Baptism And More Nonsense

by JW_Rogue in

i've noticed that each wt lesson really only has one or two points they want remembered.

normally they build up to these by about the third subheading.

this week's lesson though was different, the main point was insidiously made through an experience in the first paragraph:.

Baptism is a contract.

The jw pyramid scheme is starting to hit it's apex and die. They need to lock more people in to keep numbers up.

Lurkers: Is it true that no servant of Jehovah in the bible celebrated birthdays?

by juandefiero in

did you know that job's family celebrated birthdays?

the word translated "his own day" at job 1:4 is the same word translated "day of his birth" in job 3:1. .

seems deceptive, does it not, to change that translation.

Job celebrated his birthday

Watchtower overtly covers it to keep you from celebrating yours

No more reporting time for field service!!!

by Khaleesi in

so at last i am in my next step of my fade, this month is the first month i did not turned in any hours.

i received a text from our group leader an ms & i told him i didn't have any to report, then of course it got bumped up to the elder & i text him back i have no hours to report for december.

i came to this decision when reading many posters here about the yearbook stats, i do not want & refused to contribute to this organization "boosting" numbers for their glorious purposes, after the rc in australia they do not deserve for me to give them a "production" report of what i do for god, no more.

Good job!

When they come up to you and give you the standard "is everything ok"? "Anything we need to help you with"? Nonsense. Just smile and say nope! Everything is great!

Addressing life's big questions

by nelim in

something else i noticed in the awake 2016.2 magazine: very interesting that on page 6 and 7 "life's big questions" they basically pose two:1. science ... cannot define sexual morality.2.

science ... cannot make moral decisions on the embryo’s right to life.but actually, science can: it's called ethics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ethics.

kant introduced some interesting concepts how to think about what should be morally right, see deontology.more interesting though for me here is why these two?

freemindfade

1. SCIENCE ... cannot define sexual morality.

simple, "sexual morality" is not scientific or necessary. Its an idea spawned by bronze age goat herders.

the limits should have some kind of practical purpose, ie; don't have sex with kids!. don't rape people. These are crimes that have been pretty well established. People's choice of who they sleep with if anyone, doesn't need laws outside of the criminal acts of rape and child molestation.

2. SCIENCE ... cannot make moral decisions on the embryo’s right to life.

The witness common fallacy of saying well science can't do his and that is so damn stupid. What is science?

the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

What does that have to do with moral decisions?? Abso-f-cking-lutely nothing. Its purpose is not to solve the worlds moral dilemmas. 'Science can't stop war" ..."can't end sickness and death" "...it can't remove the stain of sin..." oh my lord... its not suppose to!!!

"I thought About You" Email

by BeautifulMind in

hey everyone!!

i hope everyone is doing good today.

i don't share or comment often, but i'm in the mood to do that today.

freemindfade

Personally I don't even acknowledge the Jdub stuff. Everyone has different circumstances, some choose to come across as discouraged, I try to do the opposite. Show them how happy, healthy and great you are without the cult.

Hey thanks.. im great, these cool things are happening, im doing this, nice to hear from you, how are things with you??

lol. I wont play into the return to big J model the organization has sold to them, that we are discouraged and left. I'm happy as hell on this side
