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.

Isn’t It A Materialistic, Even Selfish Hope
by BluesBrother inas 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.

Watchtower Double Speak
by Vanderhoven7 inon 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 inthis 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 infor 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".

Sex and YHWH - 2 Samuel Ch 12.
by fulltimestudent inthere's been a few commentaries on this topic of late, so i'm offering a few more thoughts.. here's an extract from 2 samuel 12, consider for a moment the implications.. 7 then nathan said to david, “you are the man!
this is what the lord, the god of israel, says: ‘i anointed you king over israel, and i delivered you from the hand of saul.
8 i gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms.

All three of the major religions treat women as property. Judaism, christ-insanity, and islam are all guilty. I would just abandon all three of these filthy programs--all of which are curses on the whole human race intended to bring us into mass enslavement under Noahide Law. Hint: This panic we just had for the wimpiest "disease" on the planet is just a preview of what these three foul programs have in store for us all--ultimately, all of us are just property, and the women are even more so.
Where's the boycott of these filthy religions?

Another congregation closed
by hoser in15 years ago there were 5 congregations now there is only one and it is still struggling.
congregations closing their doors doesn’t mean business is good.
it looks like this last one to fold had no young witnesses, they either left the religion or moved.

And what happens when it's not just high gas prices? I presume that gas will be in short supply once the midterms are stolen by the dumps--at which point, they pull the plug on draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (which was for supply disruptions, not just for high prices). At some point, they are not only going to raise gas prices right back up, but we will have a shortage.
You want to waste all that gas traveling 80 or 90 kilometers each way to a simple boasting session? And what about field circus? That wastes enough gas as is. Are they going to have to get up at 5 AM to make these meetings, drive 90 km to get to the meeting place, have their meeting at 7 AM, then drive the 90 km back? What a waste.
And, for those worried about carbon footprints and climate change, what does wasting all that gas do to their carbon footprints? And that of the whole religion? That is going to be fun when they start imposing our Biden Dollars, where you get cut off (and lower social credit scores) if you exceed your carbon limit. Which will be well below what you are getting if you waste all that gas going to and from boasting sessions all the time (which they are going to hound people into doing instead of going back to Zoom as a way to save driving time and gas).

Stupid WT Q's : Is It Wise or Safe to Keep a Dog? Demons—How Can We Resist Them?
by Sea Breeze inyes, that is an actual question in the awake magazine.
jw kids lives are already miserable enough trying to obey all the ignorant rules of the wt.. no sports, no school dance, no holidays.... just field service.
as if that isn't enough.... let's take away their puppy dogs too!.

Are all dogs really that dangerous? I don't think so. Yes, there are dogs that will attack you for no good reason--if, that is, they are abused. And there are various needs that dogs have--that some people are not in any position to properly address. You need to make sure you can properly take care of whatever animal you choose to keep, but for the sake of humane treatment of your animal.
And, are you sure it is demon attacks? Or is it really angels that are attacking so you will do more for their master joke-hova?

The position of Christ in the Godhead
by JW Answers inwhat is your views on christ?.
do you hold to the view that christ and the father are the same person?
do you hold to the view that jesus is a lesser god than the father?.

God: The entity that is going to have us all enslaved under the most miserable conditions possible.
Jesus: The archetype of the perfect slave. This is needed to provide us a template of what they want us to follow right into that end.
Holy [sic] spirit: The force leading us into enslavement and preventing us from escaping this global fate.
The end result is the loss of all freedom, happiness, and fulfillment on a global level, forever, and ultimately all souls being tortured by this thing they call god, following jesus as their role model with the holy [sic] spirit leading the whole earth under Noahide Law.

Apocalypse Might be Here at Super Bowl
by mrquik ini had tongue in cheek predicted the end would come should the buffalo bills ever make it to the super bowl.
that was many years ago when they couldn't even make the playoffs.
now things are looking grim as buffalo has a good shot of being there in february.

And each time they did make the Superbowl, they kept just losing. And by worse and worse margins each time--they made 4 consecutive Superbowls only to lose each time. Seems the Bills are good at sabotaging themselves, nothing more.

Is This New?
by Lost in the fog init is a very long time since i was an elder and the elders textbooks have changed multiple times since then.
going back to when i was an elder, to the best of my knowledge the only way a spouse could divorce from his/her partner was porneia, if that person had sexual relations with a man, woman, child, or beast.
but it had to be proven and that's the dubious 2 witness rule.. in fact, if it was not proven and the innocent party divorced and married someone else, then they could be hauled up in front of a judicial committee and be charged with committing adultery and disfellowshipped!

Working together with a secretary--brazen conduct.
Trying to get the whole world enslaved by stealing psychic energy from the whole community and giving it to this beady-eyed monster thing to enslave the world--your duty.
Why can't they get their priorities straight? I would say that trying to enslave the whole world under communism is a bit more serious than spending the night with someone, even if "adultery" results (and especially if the spouse knows about it and is fine with it). Even a divorce without permission from the hounders would be better than working toward a communist world.
