What a depressing thread. Is America going to enter the twenty first century any time soon?
In about three centuries, yeah. The nation needs to be purged of Republicans and Democrats first.

How old does someone have to get, to gain immunity for blood-guilt for being a part of JWs?
by King Solomon inthreads arise were elderly jw's are discussed, and we see thoughts that it's ok to be a jw if it makes them happy, or that it would be cruel to tell them ttatt after having spent their entire lives as a jw.. on the flip-side, other threads discuss teens who commit suicide after their immediate families (including their own grand-parents) shun them, as does everyone else in their kh.
the outrage rises to the point where the tendency is to accuse anyone who's a part of the organization of sharing in the blood-guilt.
that actually makes sense to me: jws claim that even being a cook in the military violates the neutrality principle, since it frees up someone else to carry a weapon; hence being a member of the military in any capacity is sharing in the blood-guilt.

The community bloodguilt is a Watchtower standard that they openly explain to members. Baptism is a clear unambiguous taking on of bloodguilt. I take a moderate view of immunity from bloodguilt, which is upon repenting of the baptism and making restitution to victims, one can be freed from bloodguilt.

Rules in the New System
by King Solomon inok, so even if laws are to be written on people's hearts vs spelled out into lawbooks, there's going to have to be some laws in the new system of things, right?
i say we get the ball rolling and brainstorm what they should be: after all, none of us got invited to the party anyway but since there just ain't going to be any party, why let that spoil our fun?
so, the theme is laws to be in effect in the new system.

Yeah, I like keeping my antenna up to get new light from the channel whenever the signal comes in. I posted that a year ago and saw it would fit here, especially as a treat for the newbies.

Satan cast down from heaven in 1914????
by NeverKnew inso, give me credit... .
last night i had a discussion on spirituality with my jw friend.
our last few conversations, i didn't have the hang of the "line of questioning that gets them to think" technique down.

I will accept it at face value that Satan was booted down from the Pleiades in 1914.
He no doubt landed in Brooklyn and was taken in by a corporation there. They tended his bruises, cleaned him up and presented him to everyone as Jesus. Yes, that's it. Watchtower Jesus is Satan!

The Watchtower publishes corny pictures about the New System TM that are well known, but the prophets over at Popular Mechanics have channeled images from the future and I am pleased to present what one can really expect if they survive Armageddon.
So fasten your seatbelts, hold on tight, and here we go.
Field service in paradise will be a challenge with so many people slaughtered
and the survivors living so far apart. Not to worry. Clever conveyance methods
will be developed to meet the challenge.It turns out those lion petting opportunities will be quite a distance
from the vegetable gardens. This will be overcome by transportation
methods such as this skybus. Now you can quickly get from digging turnips
to petting lions, and still be able to get home to read the new scrolls.No one ever said that a little cash could not be made in paradise.
How about a few sheckels for transporting literature across
bodies of water?Innovative new sports will be developed that do not have any
ties to those bad pagan sports of the Old System. TMWas your sweetheart annointed and went to heaven, leaving you
behind alone in paradise? No problem! You can sneak up there for
visits. Unfortunately, they will not have the equipment for making
those visits conjugal, but you can still hug and kiss.Amazing field service vehicles will be at your disposal.
Fleeing from demons and temptation will be easy with this rig.
Should anyone go apostate and you are required to shun them,
you can flee from them in great haste also.Since no one bothered to get an education and learn how to
distill fuels from petroleum, running your mower will require some
ingenuity. Or maybe the sheep will get up from snuggling with
lions and trim the grass, and this guy is really using this as a bong.When the fuels run out from those refineries no one knows how
to operate any more, this will be just the thing for getting around.Oops! I slipped this in by mistake. It is the Old System TM being destroyed
and is a reminder of what awaits you if you do not follow the direction
of the Governing Body. See, it even has the little dog being in peril
as seen in a lavishly illustrated Watchtower publication. -

A New Language
by mamochan13 ini remember years ago cos telling the congregation how important it was to know the "new language" because we would be identified by it and it could save us when the end came.
they gave examples like "rendezvous for service" which was popular at the time.
lots of others.

There is nothing new about the language, and it is definitely not "pure" as often claimed. It is a very corrupt language, see: generation.
It only exists so that cult members can feel special, like they have a special decoder ring.
With study, anyone can speak Theocratese.
