  Bible Reading Assignment This Week is About THE LEVIATHAN

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a brother went on stage and read .

  job 41:1-26. jehovah is straight up talking to job about a fire-breathing dragon in this passage.

  it was surreal to hear this read without as much as a raised eyebrow in the audience.. here it is: (mind you this is almighty god talking one-on-one with job).

  Things JWs Say VS What A Normal Person Would Say...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. social
  2. humour

  when someone says "merry christmas" or "happy holidays".... a normal person: responds in kind.

  a jw: says "thank you" or launches into a speech about christmas' pagan roots.

  when a couple is celebrating their wedding anniversary... .

  When you said that you just got your family life insurance..

  A normal person: Good! That's very responsible of you.
  

  A JW: Why are you wasting your money? You should trust in big J.

  He sees our suffering, and “because he cares” for us, he will make sure that it will continue only for “a little while.”

  Soooo, God does have the power to stop bad things but lets it run for a while? hmmm.....

  The New World , Utopian or Dystopian?

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  like many others on here i was raised and spent many years of my life looking forward to , and basing my life around the anticipated "new world" .this utopian paradise would "satisfy the desire of every living thing".

  we would enjoy eternal youth in perfect health,have abundant good food ,comfortable homes ,even welcome our parents and forebears back from the dead - what's not to like?i found this description of a dystopian world on the net :"characteristics of a dystopian society• propaganda is used to control the citizens of society.• information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted.• a figurehead or concept is worshipped by the citizens of the society.• citizens are perceived to be under constant surveillance.• citizens have a fear of the outside world.• citizens live in a dehumanized state.• the natural world is banished and distrusted.• citizens conform to uniform expectations.

  individuality and dissent are bad.• the society is an illusion of a perfect utopian world."hmm.

  Any thought behind your " Avatar"

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that's the correct phrase?

  anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

  now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.
