I also love the part I just heard about forgiving of the loans. werent those loans from the org? and they way they make it sound they pat them selves on that back likening themselves to a bank that forgives a mortgage.. wow.

"here, we are loaning you money you gave us, now we are forgiving you of having to pay back the money that you gave us so we could loan to you..." WTF????

There is too much stuff in this one to even begin to comment on, its blatant.

Yesterday's Watchtower, Bible Comments

by freemindfade in

the whole meeting for me was nauseating yesterday... the talk was on "science".. nuff said... then the watchtower, they are just spinning in circles patting themselves on the back lately it seems, but this is one thing that really stuck out to me.. i heard the comment multiple times about how the 2013 version of nwt made things "easier to understand" "simpler" and so on.

this has been one of my main beefs with yhwh and his book.

this is supposedly the tool for mankind to all live or die based on whether or not they:.

I don't believe that was the title, but it was science themed, or should I say "science"!

I hate to be this lazy, does anyone have the time points where they are begging for money, or possibly quotes?

(Not)Preaching advice

by paradisebeauty in

having recently had an "awakening" - not from reading awake .... i realize i can not preach doctrines i do not believe anymore .

but i do not want the elders to start following my every move, because i also have plans to check other christian denominations.. so i am thinking, should i chat for an hour or two with an old visit and report the hours, should i tell the elders i have some doubts and i do not want to preach for now or should i just stop reporting and avoid the elders attempts to talk to me?

what do you think is the best sollution to get away with this?

I turned in fake time for some time before I got comfortable and actually preferable to be known as inactive. I would just write down 2 measly spiritually weak hours a month then one day I was like f%$# it...

even though I was fully awake, it was really deeply disturbing to me, I knew it was crap but facing not turing in my time for the first time in 30 years or so was daunting. And people say it's not a cult.

Understand it
Believe it

Why would something of that magnitude need, simplifying, or made more understandable. The truth should be f%$#ing simple, end of story. Salvation, love, morality should be plain and simple to begin with, and not some cryptic books taken out of a much greater library of books, then reduced down, then massaged every century to make it more "cohesive" or appear to be somewhat cohesive through indoctrination in a religion (even though its really anything but).

Why does the word of God need help from men? If god wanted everyone to be able to understand, and believe something, he would have done a hell of a lot better job than this book
