  I would rather go to a real museum, such as the Boston museum of Science, instead. It would still cost me some money, but I find science far more appealing than going to a replica of a land that serves as a point of origin for all the curses we have on us today.

  yes, waiting on jehovah for him to handle a problem/ doctrine etc.. when did the jw's first start saying that?

  they've been saying it as long as i can remember.. what scriptures do they trot out to back that teaching up?

  Waiting on this hyper-abomination only serves to allow that thing to let you languish, keeping all the problems it caused going, and you will simply SHUT UP about it while it harvests your soul. You are waiting, and that which you are waiting for never shows up at all. A complete waste of your time and resources.

  I don't fund them at all. If everyone would simply donate nothing, they would simply run out of money. The more they hound for money, the more people should reserve simply to not donate anything. No one is legally obligated to give the washtowel anything, and they deserve nothing. In the meantime, they ought to be taxed to the hilt on anything anyone does give them.

  Smoking

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is it likely to be removed from the list of disfellowshippable offences?

  given that the ban on smoking 🚬 is completely unbiblical*, might they ever remove it?.

  *even mainstream christianity can only come up with one verse "against" it, the one that says that the body is the temple of the holy spirit.

  Why would they remove it? It costs so much for a pack of cancer sticks--just think of what would happen if that money was removed from the donation boxes! It is true that smoking defiles the body (and so do coronavirus shots, but are they going to ban those?). It also wastes money on something that gives negative value, programming the soul to repel money. And it is stupid for anyone to start smoking those things.

  But evil? The evil is for those pushing cancer sticks on the public, not those smoking them. Those are merely victims--similar to a mouse stuck on a glue trap. Like the mouse that gets stuck on those things, people are goaded into starting smoking and do not know what it is going to lead to. Also, like the mouse that gets caught in a glue trap, by the time you realize you are hooked, it is very hard to get out of it. Is it fair to disfellowship the victims? Or would it be better to help them to quit if they already smoke and to prevent them from starting if they don't?

  Jehovah's Witness Governing Body, (New Light Division) Are Vegetable Oils not more important than Beards?

  by was a new boy in

  'use vegetable oil and soft margarine in place of animal fat,'.

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101997444?q=vegetable+oil&p=par.

  'when possible, cook with unsaturated vegetable oils.'.

  They are recommending oils like canola (which I call rape oil) that go rancid inside the bloodstream, creating more inflammation and clots within your blood vessels. And they wonder why there are so many with heart trouble. As for margarine and shortening, go ahead and eat it--if you enjoy eating plastic. That is what these abominations are, plastic.

  And avoid animal fats? Sounds like the jokehovian witlesses are trying to impose a vegan diet on the flock. A vegan diet is deficient in so many key nutrients, including fatty acids and vitamin B12. We are not meant to be herbivores, idiots! You are better off eating high quality animal fats and coconut oil in place of these highly processed seed oils, including rape oils and the trans fats found in margarine and shortening (plastic). Obviously, too much of any type of fat will lead to too many calories and will result in your getting fat.

  But, what else can you expect? These are the same idiots that are trying to make the coronavirus shot mandatory.

  The ''dreaded'' birthday cake

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.

  11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?

  or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

  If celebrating holidays and birthdays make the beady-eyed monster thing so mad, all the more reason to do them to the hilt (of course, spending within your means and not drink driving). Yes, Christmas is originally a pagan holiday to worship the sun. But, since the sun controls the solar system, what is so wrong with that? They pick and choose what is going to be the most fun, and ban it. This makes people all the more miserable, which serves the beady-eyed monster thing they worship.

  And what about the ban on smoking, together with requiring something that is about 20 times worse (and I am assuming a 2 pack a day smoking habit)? Those torture shots are going to result in many health issues. Many of these are nuisances (prostate problems, UTI's, frequent headaches and not feeling well episodes, and so on) that people can go out in field circus anyways, ballyhooing them for serving the beady-eyed monster thing under more adversity. Others are much more serious (type 1 diabetes, cancer, serious heart trouble, strokes, and so on), not to mention getting AIDS directly from those shots (not even HIV, just plain AIDS). More colds and flu, and more serious ones. Hey, at least they are not allowed to smoke.

  They need to get their priorities straight. Which of these pagan practices are actually going to cause problems? Celebrating holidays is certainly not going to cause trouble--unless, that is, people drink and drive as part of them or they spend beyond their means and get a whole year of debt to pay for it. As I see it, there is nothing wrong with attending an office event to commemorate a retirement, a birthday, or holiday--certainly you are not going to drink drive to get to and from such or spend more than you can afford. I, for one, will be enjoying whatever sun-worship events we do get at work. And no, I will not be getting that torture shot.

  I remember going in field circus one Thanksgiving Day, and all you saw was people cooking turkeys. They insisted on my taking advantage of people being at home that day, wasting the time bugging them about something that still hasn't happened.

  In other countries, they have Thanksgiving at other times. Canada celebrates this day on the same day we celebrate Columbus [Enslavement] Day. Still others start playing Christmas songs and getting ready for that even more important day right after Halloween--while the jokehovians are bitter about having sun-worship music starting after Thanksgiving instead of the day after Halloween. Maybe they ought to stop running around in field circus long enough to be thankful that they get the extra time before their least-favorite holiday starts.

  Covid Vx likened to Jesus ransom

  by KerryKing in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this morning i decided to log into the local cong meeting on zoom, during the public talk the speaker likened the covid vx to jesus ransom sacrifice, saying that those who didn't avail of the vx, the 'anti vaxxers', are just like people who refuse to put faith in jesus.. i felt sick, knowing my unvxed but active jw parents were sitting there, i logged off immediately.

  surely such talk is pure blasphemy or am i just over reacting?!.

  i appreciate your thoughts, it will hopefully help me to approach my jw family with facts and logic, i'm praying they wake up fully and 'get out of her', i know they have reservations that's why they refused the vx..

  Smoking: Defiles your body. Banned in 1973.

  Coronavirus shots: Defiles your body, about 20 times worse than a 2 pack a day smoking habit. And it is on its way to becoming mandatory through the whole congregation.

  The way things are going, one is going to have to get vaccinated against the wimpiest "disease" on the planet. Failure to do so, and remain up to date with said vaccination, will be grounds to get disfellowshipped. And even before that happens officially, many hounders will give talks about this, and anyone that is not up to date with this torture shot will be disfellowshipped for "brazen conduct".

  And what about those who already had bad reactions to the vaccines, or those who got coronavirus and barely got sick, if at all, or those who simply got the Amazon "shot" or some variant of it? Just try recommending quercetin for coronavirus (it sure works better than any of the needle shots), and see how long it takes to get hounded as if you were pushing smoking weed or taking hard drugs. If not the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger insisting these shots are required (and that anyone not taking them is not appreciating jesus' sacrifice for this stupid arrangement to atone for breaches of an unnatural law), the hounders call it "brazen conduct" to not be up to date.

  As for me, I am satisfied with the Amazon "shot". I got my first bottles of quercetin from Amazon in early May 2020, about 10 months before the other shots were even available. I started taking quercetin and gradually lowered my guard against the virus, which does the same thing a vaccine is supposed to do without the nasty side effects. And now I find that people that are up to date with the needle shots turn around and catch coronavirus, and get very sick or die from this wimpy disease. And they are getting very sick from other stupid things like regular colds--they are in fact getting AIDS directly from the shots. At least the Amazon "shot" is not going to give me AIDS.

  this is just one of several sore subjects for me concerning growing up in the toxic cult known as jehovah's witnesses.

  health care.

  And from what I have seen, the washtowel lifestyle is hazardous to your health, especially the pious-sneer lifestyle. Getting up, wiping the sleep out of your eyes, driving to the group when it is still dark (often with people going to school) or rainy/snowy, staying out all day, being tired when you go back home, and then having little or no time to refresh oneself is not healthy. And all those snacks at Seven-11, all those poisonburgers from McDonalds, throwing a few hot dogs in the food poisoner for dinner, rushing off to a boasting session or Family Waste the Evening Night, and so on cannot possibly be healthy.

  Then they discourage healthy habits. It is not just lousy health care because "the end is so near". They put down people that develop physically. Running or jogging, gym memberships or home fitness equipment, and taking vitamins are frowned on. "The time is for field circus", even if they are not quantitatively reporting time any more. And those mandatory coronavirus shots--leading to even worse health problems that will "soon be done away with". And the never being able to do enough, not being allowed to listen to real music (just jazz, if you are lucky, and Kingdumb maladies), not being allowed to watch decent movies (there are plenty of R-rated movies that are well worth watching), not being allowed to celebrate anything except that wastefest held in March or April, and the promise that all will soon be perfect that never comes true--what is there to like about this cancer of a religion?
