The other sister and I explained to him that we had both read the articel several times but could not understand what it was and could he please point it out to us.

He just blew us off saying "well the answer is in there" and walked away.

Thats when i knew for a fact that (a) HE had NOT read that article, and (b) he didn't know the answer either.

However NEVER should this knowledge of public service be an inducement to abuse their faith.

What the hell does that mean? Are the saying that JWs are so charitable that it's easy to take advantage of them?

HA HA

If Jehovah Disapproved Of Polygamy & Concubines Why Did He Bless Those Involved?

by minimus in

abraham, solomon and others got god's seal of approval.

if they were truly sinning, you would think it would've been clearly expressed in the 10 commandments and the law.

instead, god blessed those involved in adultery and fornication..

oooooooh

Yeah, I thought what i posted was a little to much too.

But I also think calling someones well thought out, well presented thoughts "funny" a little to much.

These raids need to stop!!!

by Cagefighter in

someone posted video of a raid in st. louis last week were a dog was shot and killed with the homeowners kids there.

this weekend a kid actually died... cnn reported that the homicide suspect the police were hunting was arrested in the apartment.

not true... he was arrested in the neighboring apartment upstairs.

expressed fear of public reaction, saying the police “might be the target of anger."

What a stupid asshole thing to say.

This insinuates that the anger would be undeserved.

GENESIS 6:2 - then the sons of the [true] God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, ALL whom they chose.

which really makes you wonder, why on earth did god give the angels testosterone?

Does testosterone have some other use in angels and being horny for earth girls is just a nasty side effect?

Should I be concerned that there is a bunch of angels up there lusting after me right now?

I mean. I know they can't become humans anymore but does that mean that some are just voyeurs now?

Could my gaurdian angel secretly just be trying to get into my pants?

You would think god could come up with a better plan, him being omnipotent and all.

JW would answer it was in order to fulfill God’s purpose. Polygamy was tolerated in order for the Israelites to grow fast to a big nation. I think that’s the explanation I read once in the WT.

Yes that is the explanation I heard.

But think about it, polygamy of itself, does not cause the population to increase any faster.

About 50% of people are female, now those female can became pregnant by the other 50% of the population or they all can become impregnated by one male. Either way, they can't pump babies out any faster.

But if you steal or buy women from other tribes, then yes, you can make your tribe grow much faster due to the much higher female to male ratio.

So the JW excuse is dependant on stealing/buying foreign wimmen.

Shawshank Redemption and leaving Jehovah's Witnesses

by AllTimeJeff in

i doubt very seriously that i am the first to make the connection of exiting jw's and much of the movie "shawshank redemption".. frequently, the injustice that many experience as baptized members of jehovah's witnesses cause them to want to resign, to leave.. but it is a prison of sorts.

if you leave and announce it, you are shunned.

and no one will talk to you.. shawshank is such a remarkable movie to me for its simple, underlying theme; finding meaning in our suffering, and never stopping the fight against injustice, esp against our own freedom.. the best part of the movie is the line "you can either get busy living, or get busy dying.".

I think Brooks, who just couldn't handle life on the outside can stand in for all those that find it easier to stay in a dysfunctional religion.

Or the ones who get tossed out by DFing.

And can't handle it on the outside, and being "spiritually dead", so they do what Brooks did.
