Try Not To Vomit When You Read Todays Text

by pale.emperor in

tuesday, february 27. let the elders who preside in a fine way be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching.—1 tim.

5:17.. those related to us in the faith certainly merit honor and respect.

this is especially true of the elders who are taking the lead.

.

So since the "Faithful Slave" a.k.a. known as the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses was supposedly chosen in 1919, why do we not read in any of the publications about the Governing Body of Bible Students that must have existed from 1919 to 1931?

The Anal Retentive Biblical Jehovah

by Brokeback Watchtower in

freud came up with the idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/anal_retentiveness.

i would like to sight some examples of a anal retentiveness of the biblical deity.. the garden of eden and the death penalty for eating a fruit, which by the way was passed on to all future offspring requiring an anal retentive jehovah to provide a suitable sacrifice of his only begotten son to correct the situation and thus make it possible for forgiveness from the big guy and remove the death curse.. working on a saturday= death penalty.

mandatory blue thread and fringes on all israelite garments.. death penalty for touching the ark of the covenant to prevent it from tipping over.. exclusive devotion only to be given to him, bowing to other gods/idols forbidden.. grows hot with anger and becomes violently enraged killing off all kinds of human and animal life with a flood when humans not living the way he feels is right.. threatening to tread on mankind like a mighty man crushing grapes under his feet when pissed off.. loss of self control when pissed off over insignificant trifles.

No Bible = No God?

by menrov in

some doubt about the bible completely, some partially.

what if the bible turns out to be a product of humans, nothing divine.

would you still believe in a creator?.

Were These People “Demonized” or Simply Mentally Ill?

by minimus in

it seems that every congregation had a problem with people being affected by the demons.

looking back i have to wonder was it that more people were emotionally or mentally unbalanced?

or they simply off their medications or were they in need of meds?.

DUI in the New System

by neat blue dog in

when god's kingdom rules the earth, elders will be put in law enforcement capacity.

during the end of the thousand year reign when satan is let loose, the cop pulls this guy over.. "i have reason to believe you're driving under the influence of masturbation.

show me your hands.".

Cart observations from Cardiff South Wales

by freddo in

i was in a suburb of cardiff, capital of wales where it was difficult to get near to my customer's offices to deliver and install what i do.

i had my car parked about a hundred yards away and had to make several trips with goods and tools past a local jw trolley cart.

as i was working i didn't stop but observed much of the time from an upper floor office window.. in the hour or so i was there, on a warm sunny (for late february) lunchtime/early afternoon - right by a bus stop and several local shops, cafes and banks with plenty of people about - not one person stopped at the cart.. the two women at the cart i guess were about 50 and 75 respectively - pleasant looking motherly/grandmotherly types.
