  mP, what you said is nonsensical.

  It is a commonly accepted practice for news media to give priority to reporting what its consumers will actually experience when they step outside of their front door. Each person actually IS the center of their world, from their perspective. This is not unique to Americans. I noticed that UK media have a lot of coverage about a family of characters in the UK who live on the public dole, whom they call the Royals. But I rarely see the Daily Mail or Telegraph have coverage about the royal family of Thailand, or Burundi.

  If you choose to be sad about this phenomenon as it applies to the Sandy storm, that's your right.

  Good luck with that.

  You should be happified to receive this nourishing spiritual banquet from the governing body. If you are not happified, then you must be spiritually weak, so study more publications and do more field service to build up your spirituality.

  A quantum computer MAY simulate other universes.

  A quantum computer WILL produce quantum porn.

  The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves

  being an adult, i choose not to attend the meetings.

  i would prefer my children not attend meetings, however being married to a diehard jw, this is difficult to accomplish.

  the kids do not want to attend, as the meetings are boring, as they have often said.

  It is a sad and pathetic religion that is so boring it requires beatings to get someone to participate.

  Even Devil worshippers have more to offer than that.

  I hope nothing happens to the Governing Body, the WT and all JWs

  hear me out.

  you see when good things happen to them it's "proof" of jehovah's blessing.

  when bad things happen to them it's persecution from satan and in a weird way confirmation of their beliefs.

  What do you think of drawings like these?

  by DeWandelaar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a long time ago the jw's published a book called "humans in search of god" (translation of the dutch version so i am sorry if the title is not totally correct).

  i always remembered one sick drawing in it and it always made me wonder how this drawing could be used in one of their books.. .

  warning: can be shocking to people who never saw it before!.

  Not much has changed in Mexico. There is still a lot of human sacrifice with beheadings and mutilation. The Aztec blood still flows thick there.

  All Things Pagan

  by Unbrainwashed publisher1 in

  1. jw

  why is the wt org selective concerning things with pagan origin?

  for instance wedding rings they have no ban on wearing them and some wtnss say it is because it is commonly accepted now and no longer have significant pagan roots, but is that the point?

  if satan himself starts up something popular and as time moves on it loses its original satanic flavor it is ok for "true christians" - i love how j dubs qualify that, to adopt it now as a practice?

  About 80 years ago, the Watchtower realized that the modern calendar has pagan origins, so it was unacceptable for True Christians TM to use. Being the intrepid souls that they are, they set about creating a theocratically correct calendar with weekday names like "Lightday" and "Heavenday", and month names like "Order" and "Vindication".

  Evidently, this calendar did not get a welcome reception by the faithful, and was quietly forgotten in the dustbin along with Beth Sarim and Miracle Wheat. Fortunately, there is already a decent thread (with PDFs of the actual articles) about this fiasco, and I say it is a must read if you want to know how crackpot the religion is willing to go.
