  just saw this pop up in my facebook...i laughed out loud in the office and people looked at me.. .

  is it just me or is it very ironic to post that scripture with a picture of the hq?

  because following men at hq is exactly what they do!.

  Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. bible

  as we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.

  the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.

  surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

  Happiness and Freedom On A Paradise Earth?

  by Disassociated Lady 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at a recent meeting there was a watchtower article about life in paradise.

  they were saying that even when witnesses finally get there they will still be under the strict instructions from the elders and gb.

  they may be given jobs that they will find unpleasant, also the preaching work will be ongoing because of all the resurrected people who need to learn about why they are given another chance.

  The paradise earth doesn`t begin after armageddon , it doesn`t start till after the thousand years of Jesus Christ`s reign when Satan & his demons are let loose for a time and then finally destroyed.

  At which time those that are destroyed with them number like the sands of the seashore , so theire definitely wont be any paradise during JC thousand year rule.

  JW Stand On Concealed Carry

  by Cold Steel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a jw wanted to get a concealed carry permit, would the society have any moral or ethical problems with it?

  in other words, if one of your elders noticed you were carrying concealed, would they be apt to just ignore it or would they counsel you on it?

  Your talking about a gun permit here ? If the law of the land says it`s OK to have a permit to carry firearms , I can`t see how any JC could argue against it.

  It`s a precaution against lawbreakers and a protection for you and your family , and it`s legal.

  If the WT argued against that , would they also have a problem with you having a baseball bat under your bed ?

  to protect your family against an intruder ?

  You have the right to defend yourself and your family.

  If you live in America , the Constitution is your saviour , WT / JC cant argue against that .

  Throw that in their face.

  My Recent Escape

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my recent escape from a home beloved was of sheer and unqualified necessity.

  my people and i have been overtaken by a scorpion race of alien malefactors whose intent towards us is not one of beneficent intervention, but that of utter conquest.. if it were only the mere subjugation of a weaker species, we might have acquiesced, although begrudgingly.

  however, the terrifying reality enjoined upon us proved to be the conquerors' brusque insistence that their insatiable hungers be satisfied with our quailing flesh.

  With a swift downstroke of his paw

  He was sure to know

  That he was to gorge to satisfaction on their roe.

  Waiting for News

  2. child-abuse

  it seems like it's taking forever to hear any updates related irwin zalkin's child abuse case in ca, as well as australia royal commission updates.

  trey bundy hasn't been writing any articles re: jw's recently either.

  i worry that he may have lost interest in our cause.

  ZAPPA-ESQUE

  I guess it`s like anti-wtnessing isn`t it,.We do it on here and we should do it wherever the opportunity presents itself .you never know what seed is planted or wherever it will grow.

  Whenever Jehovah`s Witnesses are in the news for whatever reasons is a good time to put in your two cents worth about them.

  As far as the ARC is concerned , we just have to be patient , as steve2 says "wheels of justice grind slowly" and as I said before , do not expect any results on the ARC before mid 2017

  Maybe somebody else in the USA can comment on Irwin Zalkins Child abuse case in CA and how it is progressing , and any other cases that are before the courts in the USA .or elsewhere for that matter .

  Are there any scriptures that indicate believers would die at Armageddon?

  Rev. 14 :19-20 just goes to prove that Jehovah is a blood thirsty God , doesn`t it .

  He wasn`t satisfied with Cains sacrifice of the first grain of the harvest , no , he approved Abels blood sacrifice .killing one of his animal creations . { Isn`t their something wrong with that picture ? }

  Thousands , no , I think millions of animals and birds were sacrificed as blood offerings to appease the Almighty Jehovah God in the first 4000 years till Jesus Christ.

  On the one hand he makes laws protecting the safeguard of animals under the Mosaic Law , then on the other hand he has them slaughtered as a blood offering to himself .

  Does his right hand know what his left hand is doing ?
