Are the Governing Body Members Mentally Ill?

by Oubliette in

data-dog: i believe that many of them would actually be considered mentally ill, if they were ever tested.. .

great question and intriguing hypothesis.

lets take an armchair psychologists view and see what we shall see.

Lets review...

I have heard them all speak, met a few in person.

Sam Heard is small town character who tell anecdotal stories and shows his humble beginnings by some of the sexist things he says.

Geoffrey Jackson is amiable, seems sincere, has a nice accent to listen to and generally doesn't say anything that sounds overly ignorant or insane.

Steven Lett, definitely deranged, not sure why he and TM3 seem to get to speak so much. They are by far the most damaging.

Garret Loesch seems to just follow along, also seems amiable but not one of the alphas for sure.

Anthony Morris is stone cold crazy, not friendly, not scholarly, his theology is bigotry. Hearing him speak in person at the now famous Special meeting (tight pants rant) revealed a lot. At that moment "the truth" took its last breath for me. All the non-esense this religion is came flooding full blast in at once, i felt like I was outside of my body and was forcing myself not to stand up and storm out. I felt rage at the sheer stupidity and hate.

Mark Sanderson seems like the other b*tch IMO. The new kid, I often wonder if he gets hazed by them.

David Splane, sort of an odd character, his talks always seems also very sincere, that he really was honestly interested in understanding the silly bible, but I have to give more credit than the others in his delivery at the very least.

The ring leaders seem to be TM3 and Lett, because if splane or one of the others was leading this thing, they just might kick their crazy asses to the curb.

But the whole thing is a mess. I think some are definitely more mentally ill than others, and some like Jackson, are just like the old school witnesses or your family member who are in and just in it for the long haul. Not being aholes, and not up to anything, just doing their time on the board of directors.

Creationist Museum Acquires 5,000-Year-Old T. Rex Skeleton

TULSA, OK—In a major coup for the growing field of creation science, the perfectly preserved remains of a 5,000-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex were delivered Monday to Tulsa's Creationist Museum of Natural History.

Methuselah stands on display at the Creationist Museum of Natural History.

"The Good Lord has, in His benevolence, led us to an important breakthrough for scientific inquiry," Creationist Museum of Natural History curator Dr. Elijah Gill said. "Our museum has many valuable and exciting exhibits that testify to Creation and shine light on the Lord's divine plan. But none have been as exciting—or anywhere near as old—as this new T. Rex specimen named 'Methuselah.' This skeleton, which dates back to roughly 3,000 B.C., offers the most compelling proof yet that the Earth was made by God roughly 10,000 years ago."

Added Gill: "It's awe-inspiring to gaze on something that actually lived here on Earth, so very many years ago."

Methuselah was discovered last summer in northern Turkey by a team of Oral Roberts University archaeologists, who were on a dig searching for the Tower of Babel. According to Gill, the skeleton, which stands nearly 20 feet tall, possesses terrifying, razor-sharp teeth and claws, confirming that it was an evil beast in league with Satan, the Great Deceiver.

Using advanced dating processes from the cutting edge of biblical paleontology, the Oral Roberts team determined that Methuselah lived during the late Antediluvian period, or "The Age of the Dinosaurs." They said the pristine condition of the find strongly suggests that it perished in the Great Flood, fossilizing quickly and thoroughly due to the tremendous water pressure during the event.

"It was a truly majestic beast," said Gill, gazing up at the massive skeleton. "One almost has to mourn that there was no room for it on the Ark."

Gill called the discovery "a powerfully compelling refutation" of secular scientists' long-held assertion that dinosaurs lived on Earth millions of years before humans.

"The fact that no human remains were found anywhere in the vicinity of the site of the skeleton serves as proof of the tyrannosaur's ferocity and huge appetite," Gill said.

"At most," he added, "tyrannosaurs existed a few days before the first humans, given that the birds and the beasts were created early in the week, and Adam and Eve were made on the sixth day."

Founded in 1874, the Creationist Museum of Natural History has amassed a collection of thousands of exhibits from around the world demonstrating that the Earth was made by the hand of a Divine Creator over the course of a week, roughly 10,000 years ago. Among its most prized exhibits are a trilobite believed to have lived during the Jewish Exodus and a stunning specimen of "Java Gibbon."

Methuselah has caused such a stir that even supporters of evolutionary science have found themselves caught up in "T. Rex Fever." Christopher Eldridge, director of New York's Museum of Natural History, raved that the acquisition was "absolutely inconceivable" and "not to be believed." Dr. Harmon Briggs, a Smithsonian Institution paleobiologist, gushed in a phone interview that the discovery of the 5,000-year-old beast was "mind-boggling" and "in defiance of all the human senses."

Said Gill: "I have even received an exciting letter from a paleontologist at UCLA asserting that Methuselah could be even older than 5,000 years. Who knows, it might even date back to the Sixth Day of Creation."

The T. Rex skeleton will be on public display at the museum beginning Feb. 3. Conversions will be performed every two hours at the museum's baptismal font, located in the Apologetics wing.

Disfellowshipped at 18

by asensier in

you can probably guess how this story goes.. i began dating a non-witness boy.

he knew i was a baptised witness and understood the consequences i faced for dating him.

we agreed to keep our relationship secret, which was easy considering our 200 mile distance.

freemindfade

It's difficult now. And also sad that they do this to you. But you are young and there is a world of wonder and unconditional love out there you can find. Grieve but come to the people here and vent. And find support. And begin the process of owning and loving your life. You and all of us are lucky to be alive. Cheers!
