i just got home from a wonderful evening out at a 'brother's' house.
after a good meal shared with some other brothers and sisters, you can't imagine my excitement when the host brother brought out the wonderful new society video that he'd recently received at the kingdom hall, and suggested we watch it!
now, as you can probably imagine, this was my idea of how to have fun on a saturday evening.
Ugh. I feel sick already. It just feels so fake. The fakeness bothers me.
"it is vital that we ... respond to the directions of the "slave" as we would to the voice of god ..." (the watchtower, june 15, 1957, page 371).
"then we will no longer be babies.
we will not be tossed about like a ship that the waves carry one way and then another.
God’s spirit is evident upon the organization from the progress it is making along the path of Scriptural truth.
Sure, but what happens when they flip-flop on a doctrine, like organ transplants, or the fate of the men of Sodom and Gomorrah? Is that progress, if you keep backing up time and again?
More importantly, if this spirit lets them make mistakes, then how can you trust ANYTHING that they tell you? After all, you could just be following a mistake.
if you haven't met lewis black, your life is not complete.
please visit youtube.com and enter "lewis black" in the search box!
it wouldn't hurt you to enter "jimmy carr" while you're there, but check out "lewis black" for sure!
I always enjoy his "Back in Black" segment on TDS. Lewis Black is teh funny. If all recovering coke fiends were HALF as funny as Mr. Black, I think we'd be set for many years to come.
after hearing the coverups and scandals, im thinking about leaving the wts for good.
while reading all of these coverups, i felt like my wife just cheated on me with my brother.

I think I could go on...
after years of research, i think i've finally come across the biggest hole in the basic doctrine of jw's .
they say that there is no hell...but that you can live for eternity in a world full of nothing but witnesses.... .
...i'm not sure, but i think this statement contradicts itself??????
Good looking out, frosty and mellisamouse. I think that's Dub theology in a nutshell...really doesn't make sense when you call it for what it is. Bunk.

...is that God needs to "settle an issue" with one of his creations: who's the best leader in the whole wide universe. They do this by experimenting with the inhabitants of one planet. Said creation decides to directly or indirectly cause suffering on people, but yet people can deal with it. God chooses to lead by a different way, but one of the only proofs of God's leadership is a mythical story which takes place in a garden, which is ruined by said creation. God gets back at said creation by killing nearly everything on the planet, except for a box full of animals and 8 humans. The next proof of His leadership: God starts a nation, but said creation causes the nation to constantly rebel. As thanks to God for all his miracles and hard work, the nation kills God's son, sending a clear message to God that they don't care for him. Failing to lead a nation of people, God tries again with a book publishing corporation. Although God's electricity leads this book publishing corporation, the ideas put out by the corporation change frequently, and with little explanation. Even though this publishing corporation is under the direction of God's electricity, nations with the internet are largely deciding that this electricity-directed corporation is not worth their time. God's book publishing organization has approximately 1/1000th of the world's population. Religions not headed by God are more popular than the one headed by God. Even in God's one, tiny religion, God still has a hard time managing things: the turnover rate is high, families are broken up, and pedophiles are protected. The humans who have lower self-esteem and lack of appreciation for higher education are great for God, but God can't work with people who take the time to educate themselves.
Frustrated with milleniums of failed projects, God is going to show said creation who is the best leader in the universe by killing off every person on the planet, except the deluded people in his electricity-directed organization.
since the president of the usa has such a responsible position i think it should be manditory for anyone running for the office and that a profile be made public knowledge, if it involves some phobia, or serious insecurity that may make him prone to irrational actions because he can't grasp enough to make a rational decision.
The psych test should be on there, definitely, as well as a High School exit exam---both of which would've disqualified the current president...
things are looking a bit serious here today, so i thought i'd bring you some cute funnies.. more funny cat photos!

reading crisis of conscience, the part of the inquisition of the chairmans committee is very disturbing to me.
has anyone here been before the jc and treated in such a secretive and destructive manner?
with my temperment i would probably tell them go to hell and walk out.
You can find links to the audio tape and the full original accompanying discussion with Sick of Lies himself here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/member/22041/topics/3.ashx (Topics - Partial)
There's a video, too but I haven't been able to see it (only heard the audio portion of it)
-Aude.
That's good, so you can get the full story from the topics. I messed up about where to go--actually go to Quad-central.com and do a wordsearch for Sick of Lies. That'll get you straight to the good stuff.
