  There was a poster on here who had great tee-shirts and signs. I loved one that was an outline of a tower and the sign said "Apostate Headquarters" and he had it by his front door. Hilarious, loved it.

  2013 Drama: "Show Yourself Attentive"

  by breakfast of champions in

  2. beliefs

  this is the first of three "dramas" this dc, and i have to say, it was one of the weirdest dramas ever.

  i won't go through all the details.

  maybe someone else wants to throw in their 2c.. it starts out with two men standing on the "beach" talking, but it took me awhile to figure out what in the hell was going on.

  Interesting. There you have it, we here can barely hear this without retching. The WT and significant amount of JWs will think this is oscar winning material and be moved to tears.

  Hopefully they keep the drivel coming, because it definitely widens the chasm.

  Other Sheep question

  by wizzstick in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  coming off from my thread on the great crowd, (once again thanks td, annomaly and all the others for their help), a question on the other sheep in the 33ce - 1935 ce for the great jwn mind hive.. the qfr in the w86 8/1 p31 ends up with confirming about the other sheep pre-33ce:.

  someone might reason: jesus was pointing to a future gathering of other sheep, hence the term applies only to those who, after jesus spoke, would accept the biblical hope of everlasting life on earth.

  however, it seems unnecessary to confine the term thusly, as if jesus were defining matters chronologically or sequentially.

  Yep, the math is what got me. The house of cards began to crumble. When reading of the persecution of the early Christians, and the numbers , you knew that what and how they died so overshadowed anything that little group in NY ever could ever do. WT was full of BS in anything they explain...about anythng.

  Skipping over the outstanding faith of the early Christians, Perpetua being my favorite, and highlighting the their own "sacrifice" ,(18 mths in jail?) was repulsive to me.

  It's all in the math. Good find Ann. Sigh.

  My Mom has decided to turn me in... I am not afraid (Letter Inside)

  the only reason i am posting this is because i know many of you are going or will be going through something similar and wonder if it is worth it.

  i personally feel that it is worth it regardless of what i lose.

  my wife is backing me and i have my children.

  soso, omgosh, that letter reminds me of letters from my mom. They made me so sad in their delusional sincerity. Heavy sigh.

  She believes she is doing the right thing, and she is trying to save you. The one thing I have found to be true is you cannot argue with faith. Until there is a question or doubt...full blown faith is impossible to reson with.

  It seems your dad is more open, enjoy your time with him. For mom, stand your ground, be a good son to the extent you can, but live your life and be happy. Good luck.

  6 months or so ago, me and my wife decided we will never set foot again in a kingdom hall.

  about 4 months earlier than that, i stumbled upon an article about the wts being associated with the un.

  that got me into finding out ttat eventually.

  Good results...that doesn't happen so often. Something somewhere in their minds was receptive to a doubt or a question.

  Continued success! And welcome!!

  i love this tv show and it's a great reason to send all the kiddies (my under 18 set) out of the room (they're on summer break and have liberal bedtimes).

  mommie needs alone time with hannibal.

  So I watched it for the first time last night. It looks good but I need to see the early episodes...I have no idea what is going on.

  (maybe seeing the girl on fire is why I couldn't sleep last night. )

  I didn't have much luck for previous episodes at the website. Any ideas?

  When JW's mention prayer to me, (usually more of a judgement as in "i dont think they pray as much"), I always whip out Matt 6:5.

  In this instance, this young man should have a little look see to Jesus' words as well.

  That was not the place. Period.

  Question Marvin:

  Would there even be a discussion or a thread here if the kid was Islamic? If someone posted the article and criticized the kid for what he did, would you be advocating for his "right" to say a prayer to Alllah as involved and determined as you are for the Christian kid? Honestly asking.
