I think it was Kurt Vonnegut who once offered this possible response: "Not enough information, sir, not enough information."

"Armageddon is Weeks Away" Phrase...Is WT pushing this phrase more recently?
by mentallyfree31 ini'm wondering if this phrase is perhaps being pushed recently in letters to the elders or circuit overseers.
i have heard it a time or two here in the last few days on the forum - specifically from a bethelite.. also, the last conversation i had with my presiding overseer about 5 weeks ago, he used this exaxt phrase: "i believe armageddon is only weeks away".. i know its been right around the corner for 130 years, but it seems this exact phrase seems to be floating around a lot lately.. what are your thoughts?
jw's usually don't think for themselves - they just repeat what those above them say.

God, Gays & Evangelicals
by alice.in.wonderland inwhile participating on this website (one of the only three places i've discussed religion online) i asked a question:.
i've observed quite a few posts and comments here about religious intolerance toward gay men and women (i'm quoting), the terror and murder of homosexuals instigated by christians.
the religion i was raised in was in agreement with the bible based view that alternative lifestyles are immoral but they never instigated any hateful rhetoric toward gay men or women.

Many things are called abominations so we need to take that for what it is.
Personally, I think it's an abomination that folks in the 21st century are taking moral instruction from the OT. (And the NT ain't much better.)

JimmyPage and leavingWT:
When I said "Imagine" (though technically not a Beatles song) is worth more than any of Paul's drivel.
I was referring to THE APOSTLE PAUL, not Paul McCartney.
Sir Paul McCartney takes a backseat to no one.
(Yikes, I gotta be more careful.)

I wonder whether Paul was gay?
Of course he was. Just like every gay-bashing-FamilyValues-evangelical-rightwing-Republican-preacher/politician whose hypocracy periodically pops up in the news. These guys are self-loathing in the extreme.
And speaking of the Beatles, "Imagine" (though technically not a Beatles song) is worth more than any of Paul's drivel.

Why did God choose a group of white men in New York to run his earthly organization? Oh, and finally one black man....
by Bethelite Elder indoes this give us any insight into the elite ones of the earth?
considering, this religion is lead by the spirit?
why isn't there more of a mixture for the governing body?.

by Georgiegirl instarted a new topic b/c i didn't want to threadjack another ongoing pointless debate.

I was born-in but managed to avoid the dip. Came close a couple of times. In the end, I just couldn't stand the thought of being a phony bastard.
I've only met a couple of "religious" folks in my lifetime (of any denomination) who weren't complete and total phony bastards.
The KH is full of them. The very last time I ever went out in FS I felt totally demoralized and phony. I was half-way hoping Holden Caulfied would come to the door and blow my crazy phony head off.
"Religious" people should just wear signs around their necks, "Look at me -- ain't I special!"
