  i have noticed this on many many forums.

  so i don't have this forum in mind for this topic.

  so you may have noticed this also, but many times on threads once someone does an attack or a negative comment about someone, or the way they write or anything else on the thread, everyone else seems to just pile on by reaction not thought.

  RULES & REGULATIONS

  I have seen these kinds of senseless insults on public forums and always wondered what type of mentality was behind it.

  Here is curmudgeon Farkel ( who I dismissed because he was old ) really giving it to me on this forum years ago after I asked a simple question:

  A quick perusal of this thread confirms what I already had suspected: the alert and informed ones were quick on the draw with the facts and saved me from spouting off.

  What bothers me is the person who started this thread with:

  :Why hasn't there ever been or ever be a mass exodus from the WTS?

  This statement is not only stupid, it is so stupid and beyond stupid, it is an insult to even refer to it as stupid. The first half has been demolished on this thread, but the second half claims (in sloppy English) that there will NEVER be a max exodus from the WTS. That is either the most outrageous claim given the WTS history or a God-Inspired prophecy. The facts prove it to be the former. Dang, semi-literate and ill-informed people are so much fun to mess with!

  To you, sir or madam, I say: "don't open your yapper and make assinine claims about stuff you haven't even bothered to spend 10 minutes researching."

  You are hereby awarded the "clueless twit" award of the day. Hang it on your neck just a foot away from your dunce cap and sit in the corner until you are dismissed. Better yet, just DON'T MAKE CLAIMS THAT WERE PULLED OUT OF YOUR SHORTS without doing a little legwork yourself.

  Sigh.

  I'm on YELP. It is a site where you review and rate businesses from airlines, entertainment, handyman services and restaurants. There is a section where you can ask a question and users respond with helpful comments.

  One time I asked, '' How can restaurants raise prices, while portions get smaller...you cannot do both?'' I got responses that were rude and uncalled for. ''Maybe you're just cheap''...''You're getting fat and you need more food to fill your fat stomach''...''Maybe you need to make food at home, since you're so cheap.''

  It's easy to hide behind a keyboard and throw out insults. These people would of never made these comments to my face!

  Newly Married Couples—Build Your Life Around Serving Jehovah

  1. ARE you about to get married, or are you newly married? If so, no doubt you look forward to enjoying life with the person you love so deeply. Of course, marriage has its challenges, and there are important decisions to make. The way you approach those challenges and decisions will affect your happiness as a couple for years to come. If you rely on Jehovah, you will make wise decisions, your marriage will grow stronger, and you will be happier. If you fail to take into account God’s thinking, you will likely encounter problems that will put a strain on your marriage, leading to unhappiness.​—Read Psalm 37:3, 4.
  

  What this article fails to mention are all the young teens who marry because their pants are on fire, and need to release their hormones. You marry a fellow Jehovah's Witness and supposedly your marriage will grow stronger and happier. Couples will only encounter problems if the they fail to take Jehovah into account.

  After 40 years in the same congregation, I witnessed many divorces ( where one mate cheated on another mate). I witnessed fathers ( who were ministerial servants) fail to provide child support after the couples divorced.

  A few couples divorced and were disfellowshipped due to cheatings on their spouse, only to come back with a new marriage mate years later. I saw more infidelity inside the Kingdom Hall than on the outside!

  Why does the Lord always want to take his fury against innocent animals?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  genesis 6. .

  5 the lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

  6 the lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.

  Genesis 6

  
  

  5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

  
  

  Ezekiel 14

  
  

  19 “And if I pour out my fury by sending an epidemic of disease into the land, and the plague kills man and beast alike, 20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job were living there, the Lord God says that only they would be saved because of their righteousness.”

  
  
  
  
  

  Matthew 10:29-31 NIV

  Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
  

  
  

  If God cares about the smallest bird, why does God always want to take out his fury on innocent animals?

  I have never seen a Watchtower article on this topic. The answer would never make any sense.

  Either you're a troll, or the most brainwashed Jehovah's Witness ever born. Please give me your info on which congregation you attend. I will ask the elders about your spirituality, hours in field service, and why an upstanding Witness like you is on a forum like this.

  Moses, Pharaoh and the Exodus Fairytale

  Pharaoh: The man with two hearts who couldn't make up his mind.

  Exodus 7 Living Bible
  

  3 But I will cause Pharaoh to stubbornly refuse, and I will multiply my miracles in the land of Egypt. 4 Yet even then Pharaoh won’t listen to you; so I will crush Egypt with a final major disaster and then lead my people out. 5 The Egyptians will find out that I am indeed God when I show them my power and force them to let my people go.”

  Exodus 8
  

  19 “This is the finger of God,” they exclaimed to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hard and stubborn, and he wouldn’t listen to them, just as the Lord had predicted.

  Exodus 10
  27 So the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart and he would not let them go.

  Now, Pharaoh starts changing his tune with all the plagues upon the Egyptian people:

  Exodus 12
  

  31 And Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron during the night and said, “Leave us; please go away, all of you; go and serve Jehovah as you said. 32 Take your flocks and herds and be gone; and oh, give me a blessing as you go.”[f] 33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people of Israel, to get them out of the land as quickly as possible. For they said, “We are as good as dead.”

  Exodus 13
  

  17-18 So at last Pharaoh let the people go.

  The Lord hardens Pharaoh's heart another time...so the Lord will get all the honor and glory

  4 And once again I will harden Pharaoh’s heart and he will chase after you. I have planned this to gain great honor and glory over Pharaoh and all his armies, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.”

  If Pharaoh's heart wouldn't change so much, this would of never happened:
  26 When all the Israelites were on the other side,[k] the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand again over the sea, so that the waters will come back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses did, and the sea returned to normal beneath the morning light. The Egyptians tried to flee, but the Lord drowned them in the sea. 28 The water covered the path and the chariots and horsemen. And of all the army of Pharaoh that chased after Israel through the sea, not one remained alive.
