Were You Happy That Jack Barr Of The GB Died?
by minimus ini read that some are quite happy that another gb bites the dust.. i think of my "faithful" elderly jw mother who helped many many families come into the "truth".
she's an intelligent woman.
however, she's blinded by her beliefs (being in a cult).

Also, there are a couple of MS who were appointed in the last year or so that were appointed WHILE attending college!! And, one of them is now a reg pioneer (couldn't find a full time position right away and he just graduated this year). WTF?
WTF is right! What college did this idiot go to, University of Dumbass? How can you take college-level science, logic, philosophy, history, etc., classes and STILL return to the vomit of WTS? I guess you can take the boy out of the cult, but you can't take the cult out of the boy.

Does anyone know how "new light" comes to fruition?
by mamalove ini am curious if anyone knows the process by which new light, or revisions in beliefs actually are agreed on for presentation to the followers?.
does one member of the gb bring up something and they all talk about it and decide?
or do they get a bunch of questions in the mail and decide to re-evaluate something based on the fan mail?

Evidently, they take turns. One member bends over, the others perform anal extraction.

If God truly loved humans...why not reveal himself ? So that they could make an informed decision ?
by smiddy inwe learn from the bible that god spoke to adam ,then certain faithful ones,then after moses only the preisthood that was established,and individuals, raised as prophets,and this by the way is only a a small select group on the planet.never mind about other groups of humans.
fastforward to the era of christ ,again, god is only dealing with a small select group to advise and admonish.during the time from moses to christ he was only dealing with what became one small nation.the rest of humankind were left to their own devices.fastforward down to this 21st century we have no guidance/instruction/prophets to instruct or guide us.
( i know this is where jw`s would say but we have been preaching & teaching you god`s truths since 1879 ) all i can say their, is take your head out of the sand and look at all the changes ,corrections adjustments,re-adjustments,reversals,and failed expectations of prophecy you have published over this last century )so as to my question why hasn`t the god of the universe revealed himself to all humans of every race on all continents instead of just a small select group, if he truly was interested in the human race.

I was kinda thinking about this on the drive to work this morning. A post from yesterday repeated the phrase "life-saving work" that JWs like to throw around as their god-given mandate for the door-to-door work. Ha. Why should you and I have to do god's life-saving work? Couldn't he come up with a better method?

Argument from complexity
by goddidit inwe know the universe has within it the capabilty for things to become more complex with direct divine intervention.
look at snowflakes.. as far as i can see, that fact alone invalidates the argument from complexity (isn't the eye complex?
evolution must be false).. can anyone suggest a good way to phrase this that might get into a dubs head?.

Ever wondered if Jehovah, the epitome of complexity, ever sits around and wonders, "Where the hell did I come from?"
