The hidden Watchtower writers.

by edmond dantes in

the watchtower smoke and mirrors dept.

are very fond of saying that appostates who post on the internet are like satan in eden hiding their identity just like the devil who used the serpent.. this begs the question why do the awake and watchtower writers need to hide behind the printing presses of the evil tower, what are they ashamed of or more to the point what is the govening body frightened of ?.

maybe the book club and rip off society are guilty of identity theft in not declaring the names of their writers..

"Come out come out who ever you are ,come out from under that star."

Obviously the leaders of the New World Soc.since the passing of old man Rutherford have not wanted the credentials of it's writers made public because let's face it they have no gravitas in themselves, they are just ordinary people spouting a sermon within a straight jacket of doctrine.Sometimes they have to ammend previous thoughts and statements then they are put on" light" duties until the rank and gullible have swallowed the latest twists and turns.So who tells them to write the new trash ? must be the Governing Body who say, for instance " no! no! a thousand times no! you can't say the generation who saw 1914 will not pass away, please edit it out now at once if not sooner."

Another reason for the hidden identity is that if any of them decide to commit an offence worthy of the big elbow it will not reflect badly on the so called Jehovahs channel of communication.

IF THERE WAS AN UNSOLVED DEATH IN A KH

how would everyone react.

edmond dantes

Back by popular demand and a request from the chief investigating officer of cold case files department."Well Letsby we seem to be making very little progress at the moment ,I don't like too many unsolved murders in my in tray," said chief I.M.A . Stickler. as was written on his office door. "Well sir I was going to have a word with The Archbishop of Canterbury because it concerns a religious nutter , sorry I mean religious matter ,must be politically correct these days," replied Letsby," but the Bish. seems a little bit busy at the moment trying to figure out how he can introduce Shari law into christianity without ruffling too many feathers." I see" said IMA, "well as Kipling said If you can keep your head when all those around you are losing theirs you'll be a man my son." Replying, Letsby thought for a moment and said,"Well yes I can see it would be a problem ,I have even heard that in some Muslim countries for adultary you not only lose your head but your spectacles as well." " You did say spectacles didn't you?" said IMA.

IMA carried on trying to move things along , "Anyway this banter is getting us nowhere fast our concern at the moment centres on the unexplained dead body in the Kingdumb Hall , I know there are tons of the unexplained during a Witness gathering but this is more serious as I have been told that it reflecets badly on Jehovah's organisation." Sir you are beginning to sound like one of them." said Lets. "No I'm one of those! ,well they have been knocking on my door every saturday morning what do you expect? came back the impatient retort.Letsby was now told to make haste to Lambeth Palace and as there were no spare squad cars and no trains running due to track maintanance by Network Rail for the next fifty years, he would have to go by police horse . Letsby's brain started ticking over fast,I know what I'll do, I will get two horses which will include one for the police woman who helped me get my truncheon swinging in the the prescribed manner as set out in the police manual and she did say being mounted was preferable to walking the beat anyday.So off he shot excitedly to the mounted division stabling dept to get saddled up.

End of part whatever it is, to be continued ,if you can take more, when I come back from holiday in a weeks time.

DID GOD CREATE THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS???

by Terry in

is this the best of all possible worlds?.

had god created a world in which he invested humans with adherence to inner, god designed morality guidance--wouldn't an obedient (and far better off human race) world not have been "better" than the one we are in?.

free will is only the freedom to screw up.. think about this.. everything man designs is designed to function properly.

Hi oompa, I hear what you are saying but if one person who has choice and makes a wrong move and another person makes the right move ,I would say that the person who made the right move made the perfect choice ,therefore Adam made an imperfect move.Which begs the question , in what way was Adam perfect?

The Adam and Eve story is ridiculous anyway you look at it.

God is attending to an emergency elsewhwere

by edmond dantes in

after considering all available scenarios i am of the opinion that the creator started project planet earth and then unexpectedly got called away to another job, maybe to an emergency at the other side of a black hole and it is taking longer than than he first assumed to fix it.at the beginning he got as far as creating life on earth and then whoosh !

he was away leaving the world not quite right.. bearing that in mind it is up to us ,the human race,to run things to the best of our abilities until the good lord comes back and continues where he left off.we have to make sure that we look after the total package for him and ourselves and as far as is possible trying to right the wrongs.you know what i mean , we have to be keepers' and carers' and not religious nuts.. when the creator comes back he can answer all the questions we need to know but until then let's just get on with the task ahead..

edmond dantes

God can multitask so therefore he must be off somewhere building other worlds and maybe he his making one better than this planet having learned where he went wrong with this one. Perhaps his other world is free from humans.

Witness owns Flower Shop-advertises-sells birthday-holiday arrangements

i have been away from the organization long enough not to know how this family is allowed to sell and profit from selling birthday and holiday gifts.

as far as i am aware they are active jw's.

they do a lot of advertising on the internet specifically for all the holidays and birthdays that jw's are not supposed to be involved in to the best of my knowledge.

Another turning of the blind eye, don't you just love double standards.Another reason I fled the Borganisation.

Terry, you are spot on with your comments .I have discussed this with the Witnesses for years ,Adam could not have been made perfect because he made an imperfect decision by his disobedience.If you follow the cults argument about perfection the first man should have made the correct choice.

It's only a myth anyway but to counter the argument we have to play along with the Jdubs line of reasoning. If God has made the World then he must have left out some very important safeguards and that is why there must be another anwswer to the puzzle of how human life got started in the first instance.

ANY JWS AFFECTED BY CREDIT CRUNCH?

i wonder!

edmond dantes

The adjustment in the credit market will just reinforce the opinion of the rank and file that the World is doooooomed.This will make them huddle closer to to the Borg leaders.Who in turn will say there is no unemployment in the New World Society which I have heard said from the platform at la la la assembly time way back when at Twickenham Rugby Stadium.

God created a faulty product.

by edmond dantes in

on the theme "looking for alternative answers to the age old conundrum" todays question is ;should god have recalled man from the outset as soon as he was found to be faulty?

after much consideration and careful thought it must be assumed that the human slipped through the inspection bay without enough care and attention to detail.if it was passed fit for purpose who stamped it and can we find the ok mark?.

what we need is a volunteer team to go looking for the hebrew word (or whatever language was used at that time) for passed.it must be on some ancient skeleton somewhere together with a signature.adams equipment under the fig leaf might have been perfect but his reasoning was faulty according to scripture..

momcrazy,

Sit him down, set out a set number of multi choice common sense questions then have him tick the boxes and then analyse the results .Form a conclusion and decide whether to reject him if so go for a better model.

Education Bias And Favortism Within Witness Ranks

by The Rapster in

let me just say from the beginning i am not a bitter ex jehovah's witness.

i am simply a kid from back in the 70's - 80's who was completely enmeshed in it, leaving in 1984 after a sham marriage rushed by social and peer pressure within a congregation.

it took two years of a horrible personal relationship to accept that for 20 years i was misled.

edmond dantes

Welcome rapster,

Big Brooklyn chiefs speak with fork tounqe, many tounqe twisters misleed many folk.Doctor say take with pinch of salt.
