  uh, hello, uh, well, i wanted to know how long it will be before the "newbie" title comes off?

  i noticed that some others who have been here since 2004 still have the title "newbie".

  how many years do you need before you move up?

  Oh I see. So why is the bottom level called "newbie" if it has nothing to do with how long you have been here?

  Internet Service Provided By The Society

  by BlackPearl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's been speculation about how the society could make wt cd's with "site monitoring" software on them, how about internet service provided by the society?

  this way you'd feel like you have the freedom to surf the net but all the "bad" stuff would be blocked out.

  they'd have total control over what the surfer sees.

  I don't think that most dubs would really go for that, considering most hypocrites, like myself who always had my own personal inhibitions, and led a double life, wouldnt' buy it. Only the soc would try such foolishness though.

  We could start calling them "Jehovabots" and add them to the Transformers collection. (Autobots , like optimus prime and megatron).

  Would Everlasting Life under Jehovah's rulership appeal to you?

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't find it the least bit appealing to even think of living forever under the jehovah's rule because he is such an egocentric god.

  always worrying if you make him mad.

  Hi Frannie, I like how you picked up that one with the "Thou shalt not kill" bit, and then the massive attacks that he told Saul to carry out, and when Saul had mercy and spared Agag, and others when he was ordered to attack the Amelekites(1 Samuel 15), Jehovah was angry with him for sparing the life of some of the "enemies". How was any of this showing love to neighbor? I was told by the elders of course that "war is not murder" and the command only applied to domestic murder within the nation of brother or sister. Once again, that doesn't answer the question, it is merely an excuse. Loving neighbors, whether they live 10 feet or 10 miles apart don't kill each other, period. It becomes extrememly difficult to follow a Torah that is already hard enough, when you have a wishy washy God giving commands to kill. Of course, Moses makes a perfect candidate for this, since his ministerial field service hours started with the murder of an Egyptian that he buried in the sand. Come to think of it, the bible starts with a once murderous prophet and ends with one (Paul). If it were up to me, "I would say let peace be peace, and love be love. No Jesus no peace, know Jesus, know peace" (Butters 34:27)

  I gave a talk on that once. I still feel bad that I forced myself to speak such horrible lies like "It is wrong to question Jehovah's organization and authority on any matter"... I left out the part "Question those who love Jesus"... Here is an interesting link some of you may find funny, unless you are a Republican: http://www.thefrown.com/frowners/becomerepublican.swf
