how can navigate if our desire is for absolute truth...

by Ruby456 in

jw
friends

or do we give in to social constructivism?

to relativity?

or is there a way to be real and then to say whats real that everyone agrees to?.

smiddy

I don`t believe anyone , at any given time , will ever have knowledge of absolute truth .(whatever that is )

Isn`t " absolute truth" in the eye of the beholder anyway ?

Who defines what absolute truth is anyway ?

Humans quest for knowledge began when Eve ate the forbidden fruit , if you believe the Bible ( way to go Eve ) and mankind is on a never ending quest to gain more knowledge and will continue to do so until the last man standing .

That`s if I understand correctly where your coming from Ruby456

Just my 2 cents worth

New Publication (2014) "God Kingdom Rules" -- When Is It Studied At The Kingdom Hall?

by Littleleslie in

i just wanted to know, when do the jws begin to study the 2014 publication called: "god's kingdom rule" at the local kingdom halls?

(i heard it was going to be sometime in the month of september of 2016, this month.).

ll.

smiddy

New publication 2014 " God`s Kingdom Rules " is now approximately 2 years out of date .

Jehovah`s Witnesses studying this book need to ask themselves , am I studying new light or old light .?

Is what I am studying today , going to be accepted as the truth , in a year , 2 years , or 5 years in the future.?

On past expriences I wouldnt hold my breath

Happiness and Freedom On A Paradise Earth?

by Disassociated Lady 2 in

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.

And where in the Bible does it say that their will be a paradise earth ? that humans will inhabit ? either now or in the future ? Show us a scripture that says that .

Audio machine and the satanic band WT used!

by Crazyguy in

it's been braught out in other places before that the band audiomachine' song eternal flame was used in the last video of the convention this year.

but do you know that the band has several albums and in these albums are songs with titles that could easily be construed as satanic or pagan!

some of these song titles are: hells battalion, legions of doom, tree of life, god of lankhmar, and the heavens shall tremble.

The WT /GB members , speak with a forked tongue , they speak out of both sides of their mouth .

They have one set of rules for themselves and another set of rules for the rank & file .

Don`t do what we do , do as we say .

I think that about sums it up .

It could also be said

GB./FDS , We are Gods chosen ones to give food at the proper time., the rank and file just need to be brought into line to obey us even if it means destroying familys .Mat.10 35-37

I dont believe the WT/GB organization even today understands the power of the internet ,u-tube ,social media , especially among the young , teenage child , and how it`s going to impact on them.

I have faith in the youth of todays JW`s to totally abandon the Jehovah`s Witness /Watchtower religion and pursue a life they were meant to live , free from indoctrination .

Oh the irony!!!!

by notsurewheretogo in

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!.

smiddy

Whoever posted this picture on FB is not keeping up with Jehovah`s chariot as sir82 implies those are now worldly buildings .LOL

Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?

by stuckinarut2 in

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?.

smiddy

I have been out for nearly 25 years , the songs were terrible back then , I`m glad to hear they are no better now.

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

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?

.

smiddy

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

jw
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.

smiddy

Keep it coming guys , I`m enjoying this .

You`ve inspired me ,to make a contribution ,first and last time though , don`t laugh.

Into the shallow stream , wade the bear

How did he know they were their

With a swift downstroke of his paw

He was sure to know

That he was to gorge to satisfaction on their roe.
