  Schoolyard bully mentality

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm not naming names, but i just want to encourage people on here or on reddit or twitter, and tell you that you do not have to tolerate people who act like schoolyard bullies in the way they speak to you online.

  i think anonymity is a big part of it.

  they feel like there is zero accountability so they can be a bully all they want.. i recommend just ignoring or blocking anyone who is verbally abusive or treats you like schoolyard bullies treated you.. life is way too short to spend any time dealing with those kinds of people..

  A bully is a bully. Doesn't matter where they are.

  Why would anyone want to interact with a bully?

  Fusion, why interact with a bully? If your facts are indisputable and your conclusions are correct. Why not?

  Just think of David and Goliath.

  McKinney Texas pool party?

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. social
  2. current

  so today i was asked my thoughts on the pool party incident in mcminney, texas.

  my response: it shows a clash of expectations.

  i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

  I have looked at the link that violias has provided it does give a different perspective maybe true. I don't trust the news media to report things accurately either. Sounds like we need a jury to decide what really happened. I have had teenage daughters too and if I ever saw some copp treat one of my daughters like this there would be hell to pay.

  Fusion, you can recommend ignoring but blocking sounds like a witness disfellowship doctrine to me. No body on this site can hurt you so they certainly are not school yard bullies.

  You can put your ideas out there just be able to defend them.

  Now Even JW Men Are Going To Die At The Big A

  by OneFingerSalute in

  2. beliefs

  so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.

  the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.

  he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

  Spit you out of his mouth because you're lukewarm.

  Hence we were supposed to use every free moment to worship him. For example, I was made to preach and read magazines during school lunch. Walking to school was to be spent praying and meditating. Every second was to be used to fill one's mind with jehoopla, otherwise satan would have a way in.

  What Rebel18 said is spot on, from what I remember.

  New Light on HOLIDAYS and BIRTHDAYS? (September 2015 Watchtower)

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watchtower-- simplified study edition, september 2015, "is your conscience a reliable guide?":.

  in ancient rome, some christians had different opinions about certain foods and celebrations.

  what advice did paul give them?

  Not celebrating birthdays and holidays will always be part of the cult. Can you imagine what the outcome would be for example if they let a child celebrate a birthday and had a party with non believing extended family members.Social interactions like this would cause the cult to lose control. Not to mention holidays like Thanks Giving and Xmas. It would be a cult control catastrophe.

  Do you consider this site Godly or Ungodly

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  over the years, i have seen a change in heart with the country i grew up in and the general view of what they perceive as how everyone should view things in relation to morality.

  a strictly religious country for centuries now forever changed within a short number of years.

  i have also seen the viewpoint on this site gradually change in many ways.

  Ever since a certain event took place? I feel life is getting better now,no need for god to intervene. Funny how peoples perceptions of certain events are different!

  It's one thing to see that video on it's own but it is quite another to see it introduced during a talk at a convention. Truly disgusting! Kinda reminds me of a televangelist.I am glad you told me it was at the 22 minute mark rory-ks that way I didn't have to sit through the rest of that drivel.

  What are you gonna do when the existence of god is disproved?

  by Doltologist in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in 1897, j.j. thomson discovered the electron.

  this was the first constituent part of the atom which, for 2,000 years, was thought to be indivisible.

  today, we know of 18 elemental particles following the recent discovery of the higgs boson, the so-called god particle.. back in 1897, most people believed in god because there weren't even any theories as to how the universe came into being.

  Your reference starts in 1897. In 2015 there are billions of people alive today waiting for someone to disprove a belief in God. It's not going to happen.

  what kind of confidence can anyone have in an organization that rejected its founder and first two presidents for the first 63 years of its existence?

  that's 53% of the time they existed!

  any comments.

  I have every confidence. That the GB are imperfect men led by holy spirit. They might make some errors but as the time of the end draws nearer the light gets brighter and brighter. LOL
