  The length of a public talk

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone ever wonder the good they could have done instead of giving a public talk for 45 or 30 minutes?

  i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.

  fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.

  In 30 minutes of yapping about how joke-hova is going to heal the environment, one could have gone into a forest infested with Chinese wisteria vines and cut down enough of those vines to save perhaps 15 or 20 trees. Or one could fill a trash bag with plastic that otherwise would have ended up in the ocean. (And not wasting all the gas driving to the boasting session.)

  In 30 minutes, someone could have gone to a supermarket and helped an elderly or house-bound friend or relative getting their groceries. One can help repair a bicycle (especially if said repair is a cable replacement, brake adjustment, a flat tire, or tightening loose bolts) for a friend. (Or your own, so you can take it out to the store for a short errand instead of the car.) You could also do some work on your own yard, if you own a house, to make it look more attractive.

  And if the prayers are excessively long, add that to the amount of time you could be doing something constructive instead of wasting time asking that beady-eyed abomination to do anything.

  How About.....YOU Doing the Shunning?

  hello, folks: about a month ago, stan livedeath started a post about.

  how many of the readers here on the site have been or are now being shunned by friends/relatives?

  well, let's turn that around a little bit: how many of the readers here have purposely shunned a witness, when they encountered them?

  I know that these jokehovians will try forcing me back into the cancer, get me vaccinated against the wimpiest disease on the planet, make me throw away all my quality items (and sun-worship decorations) and get cheap walmart crap (and bibles) to worship joke-hova, force me to study the filthy hebrew language, pious-sneer, and eventually go to Africa to waste the rest of my life on a mission. (Good thing I have books on the French language for when they catch up with me.)

  The hope is that none of them understand German. They start squeaking about my going to boasting sessions and serving that beady-eyed monster of a god they have, I start speaking in German. I doubt any of the hounders in this area actually understand that language, even enough to look up the words on their devices (and that assumes we even have the Internet at all by then).

  Does anybody ever wonder why ?

  by smiddy3 in

  supposedly, god jehovah, el , or whatever else he may have been called many thousands of years ago, or so the storys goes ,dealt with humans on a regular basis communicating with them for either good or bad.according to how they pleased him or displeased him.. so the bible record says.. how is it that god , jehovah or whatever other name you want to call him has not communicated with humans on any level for the past 2000 years ???.

  in this scientific ,technological age ,wouldn`t you think this would be the time he would communicate with the potential dangers we face in potentially destroying ourselves and ruining the planets wildlife unless he interveined ?.

  that`s if you even beleive that such a god actually exists .. and if he does why so silent in this day and age,?.

  Simple. If that thing used electronic media to spread the message, then how would it be able to enslave the masses by forcing them to go door to door wasting all their time and money (not to mention, putting whatever carbon dioxide in the air wasting all that gas doing so) to spread it? Joke-hova simply wants people to not have either money or time, and that is a great way to waste both. Using electronic devices to spread the message would be too efficient, saving people's time and money.

  And then, what happens when that thing pulls the whole Internet away from people (aside a few corporate "news" outlets)? No Internet, no means of getting this message to the masses--and with an Internet, there is the chance of people using it in ways the reptilians don't want (such as for freedom). Either way, these electronic devices would only be either useless (once the whole Internet is taken away) or counterproductive (if people start debunking the whole religion, and the whole bible to boot).

  And why live in those ancient times? First, these stories about these "prophets" are just that--stories. And even if they really did happen, why try live by them? Try living to something like the 1990s for a week and see how hard it is to live by outdated conditions. If I can't even live according to conditions found in the 1990s, why should I try living by conditions found more than 2,000 years ago?

  Are you convinced what the Gospels say about Jesus is true?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  probably, the greatest advocacy for the gospels is the jw publication: the greatest man that ever lived.

  it convinced me.. everything else that the bible says about the resurrection and eternal life logically follows.. the testimony of a “witness” in court matters only if it is observation not commentary ( expert witness is also commentary): what did you see, what did you hear, what is the magnitude of your measurement.

  not, are you convinced; that is only belief.

  Jesus: The biggest scam, lie, and hoax ever told. None of it is anything more than a tool to enslave the whole earth, using this character as the model.

  They don't want you listening to music, aside Kingdumb maladies (yes, they call it a conscience matter and then hound you every time you find a song you like). This is especially true with the best music, such as Led Zeppelin or Michael Jackson.

  They also don't want you watching R rated movies. True, they call PG-13 "conscience matters" but you might be stumbling someone if you watch anything except whatever the washtowel itself puts out.

  Yet, most of the washtowel dramas would themselves be rated at least R for making people afraid of looking outside the cancer for the truth.

  Isn’t It A Materialistic, Even Selfish Hope

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as witnesses we always looked forward to the new world but the talks were more about the incoming king and man’s freedom from oppression.

  although we looked forward to the good things ,we recognised that initially things may be hard .

  we would have to cope with physical work , and lack of many things we were used to today.

  As I have seen, they split things into two categories. Physical and spiritual. The physical person strives after things that make him/her comfortable, and this includes following the laws of nature. The spiritual man (if you can call asceticism "spiritual") denies all these things and instead seeks the interests of that abomination that they call a god. Effectively denying the laws of nature in favor of rules that are intended to enslave the whole planet.

  Watchtower Double Speak

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  2. beliefs

  on eternal life.

  "none of us are in position to earn god’s gifts, least of all to earn the gift of life.

  but we can show ourselves worthy of the gift of eternal life by … dedicating ourselves to jehovah and then proving faithful to that dedication.” (the watchtower, august 15, 1952, p. 485).

  It was joke-hova that took our immortality away from us in the first place, for trying to obey natural laws instead of being enslaved to that thing. And now it is trying to tell me that it is a "gift"? A gift of returning what that abomination stole?

  I think I will stick to the gifts associated with worshiping the sun.

  Another diabolical, disingenuous, nutcase illustration

  by Beth Sarim in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this has been weighing on my mind all day,.

  i just have to vent and get this off my chest.. the latest jw brainwashing, indoctrination session i think it was a broadcast.

  toward the end where the speaker was spouting-off about being in a 'race' again and 'enduring until the end',.

  And they always insist on running as if you were in the last 50 meters, no matter what. If you know that you still have 180 years left to go, you could prepare accordingly--by not using up all your energy on the next few meters. On the other hand, if you know that it is only a few meters, you all-out sprint to get across that line.

  In practical terms, it might be worth an all-out drive to quit your job, sell everything, and all-out work to exhaustion if you only had a week or two to go, and they are not simply saying that just to get the most out of us now. But, if you had another 20 years or more, that would be downright stupid to exhaust your resources now and still be that far away. This is not simply a drive to get people saved--rather, a drive to prevent people from doing anything that could enhance their souls, however slightly, with the remaining time. (While at the same time, programming their souls to poverty and misery that extends beyond this lifetime.)

  “Hanging the earth upon nothing”

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for those of you not up to speed on the latest jw trends, one of the key scriptures the jws are using in field serve-us lately is job 26:7, wherein the writer describes the earth as “hanging upon nothing”.. this text is used to indicate the bible’s “reliability”.

  the reasoning goes something like this:.

  “see, centuries ago, people thought the world was flat, or was resting on elephants or turtles, or some such nonsense.

  No wonder they want people to flunk science. Anyone with half a brain realizes that the earth is not hanging at all--and neither are the other planets (or the moon, for that matter). They are locked in orbit around the sun, itself in orbit in our galaxy around a point that is near 27 degrees of Sagittarius (the center of the galaxy). Hanging is not the correct word for this.

  Instead, they are held in place by the force of gravity. The earth is kept in check by the sun's gravity, while its momentum creates a force that holds it where it is (centrifugal force). When the two are in balance, the planet is in orbit and will remain that way until something disrupts it. (Such as joke-hova blowing up Phaeton and ruining Mars, which disrupted all the planets around it from Mercury to Jupiter.) There is no way that this is "hanging", let alone "on nothing".
