i find it pretty shocking how corporate the jw religion is.
i never saw it this way when i was in but now that i look at it from a different perspective, it seems quite clear.
much of the terminology used by jws is corporate inspired.
Are Dubs the most corporate religion? Of course they are.
I remember thinking when I was a kid that why is a religion being referred to as the Society, or the Organization.
The time sheets, keeping up with everyone's hours is equivalent to a Marketing Dept, keeping up with the monthly sales of their employees.
i agree that being photogenic is not given to every ordinary mortal.
.
but when at the beginning of every new month i am confronted with the various faces of those males showing off as a priority on tv-jw (see jw broadcating september 2017), i am asking myself if i honestly am faced with normal people, or with people who went mental already since ages ago.. is it maybe due to the fact that the majority of them already do not feel anymore like belonging to ordinary mortals ?
Thanks for the laugh of the day Pale Emperor, that picture is f**ing hysterical !!
speaking from my own experience and that of my family of wife and two now adult sons do not believe that prayers to jehovah /god are answered .. so it must also be true of all other religions and their believers also.. my wife and i were jw`s for 33 years and and i don`t believe anyone prayed harder than my wife and i at various trials we faced during those times in those 33 years.. we may as well have been like the present day jews who pray to a brick wall .
I think prayer is a joke, let's take two hospital rooms across from each other, the men in both rooms are in serious condition and they have their family around them praying for his health. The man in one of the rooms dies and the man in the other room lives. What happened since both of the families were praying?
I think the more a person prays the more of a phony Christian they are.
i was talking to an elder recently about all sorts of things non j.w related.. he said something about a guy in his congregation who is related to my ex wife and molested a little girl.. i said " i don't want to hear anything about that guy after what he did".
elder"i dont know what he did".
me" he is a child sex offender".
Me" He is a child sex offender"
Elder"Ahhh i didnt know that"
Me "So when he moved to your congregation a letter from his last congregation was not read out?
Elder"I cant talk about that"
Yeah, he didn't have a clue did he, lying MoFo's, yet still counsel others on how Jehovah wants them to conduct their lives, which I'm sure doesn't include lying . !!
so we know that by jw logic, the idea is that everyone who dies is acquitted of their sin and will get a resurrection in the "new world".
however, those directly destroyed by god, or at his command will not.
(for example, those destroyed in the flood.
(For example, those destroyed in the Flood. Or those destroyed in Sodom etc...)
Never knew that before, or the rest of the list above wouldn't not have the hope of resurrection.
I was a born-in so never did any studying, so i thought the only ones who wouldn't be resurrected were those who committed suicide.
news media says, .
you’re free to do anything we want you to do.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvrj6irvmkq.
I don't need to watch that video, how to be mind controlled? Join the cult known a JWs or Scientology
we wanted sex too.
so why did he get married?
so they punishment you for leaving bethel and getting married?
Some of these young bros left bb to marry local females, some with 4 or 5 kids
Do any of you guy remember a guy by the name of Flinchbaugh? Above quote applies to him,went to my mother KH

2:19.. in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christ’s death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.
Others may have mental or emotional problems that lead them to believe that they will rule with Christ in heaven
Surprised to see they own up to that, however, that's about 98 per cent of the folks who partake, other two per cent or just pure ego, pompous, better than you Dubs
he's sounding more like a dub everyday, sounds like one of their lame excuses.. i don't think the city asked the furniture and the mosque that opened to shelter people, and a pastor, one who supposedly helps people was waiting for the city?
he's just lying, that's why that response reminds me of the borg.
just my religious rant for the day, can't stand religious people of stature who spew out false statements..

there are other threads dealing with jws actions, or non-actions in response to the houston flooding.
i started this thread to find out specifically if kingdom halls, or assembly halls are being used to help victims.
not just other jws, but innocent victims of all walks: men, women, children & pets.
THat's what I wanted to know since a few days ago someone posted here how an acquaintance of theirs said they would pack their "go bag" and go the nearest KH after watching that video of doom and destruction. For the Houston area they'e experiencing just about the same thing, so did all of Jah's faithful try to get to a flooded KH for the empty headed elders to give them further direction? . . . smh just thinking about that
