  Elder for 30 years, lost privelages due to WT Education policy

  by justhuman in

  2. beliefs

  this is a really good one.

  an elder who was serving for more than 30 years, faithfull to the organization at all means, has lost his privelage due to the wt education policy.

  the reason was that he allowed his son to study at the university.

  This isn't all too surprising since for decades they have disposing the advantages of getting better education outside which is governed by law.

  Their credo was that all universities and collages were places of godlessness and have no benefit to a true Christian and should be avoided, better time should be spent going door to door

  and selling god's magazines and save lives as we know the time of reckoning is near.. In essence bring us more slaves to exploit to use for are kingdom and we know more slaves mean more

  power and money. The measure of power and strength of a master is given by the amount of slaves he owns and controls, is it not ? Just a side thought.....

  But of course when one of the GB members has a serious health problem they are down at the local hospital looking for the most talented and educated doctor to help them out with their

  specific illness and are willing to hand over any amount of money to obtain it, somewhat of a taste of hypocrisy isn't !

  here's an interesting article from shermer to ponder.

  any thoughts?

  In regards to Mr. Shermers comments, that certainly is rational and empathic to religious beliefs in general, it seems though to be too soft and weak of a stance to pose against

  strong and vigilant religious beliefs, such as JWS for example. The balance of respect and tolerance has to be played out in equal portions to both ideologies, does it not ?

  After all history has shown us that certain religions have killed people that didn't go along with their beliefs systems and this even continues today as we know.

  In the way that the JWS are taught not to respect other religious beliefs or atheism for that matter I believe " the evil slave class or goats that are soon to be destroyed " is the term that

  they are taught on, is not exactly a lot of respect and tolerance going on there is there. These power structured religions like the WTS. and others after all rooted and built on the obtainment

  of power for a select few who seek it, this unfortunately usually results in giving humanity in general a kick in the balls. And it is for this reason that I've been an active atheist and have been

  for years. My 2 cents

  NAME JUST ONE thing....ONE THING...revealed by God....

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  somebody is always insisting they have an invisible and mysterious source of divine information and selling it like hotcakes and syrup.

  but, why are you still buying?

  when will you ever learn that this is a scam among many scams.

  Gods were created on the basis of human ignorance and imagination as it was thousands of years ago as it is today, over the centuries we've slowly and painfully gained knowledge

  of the world around us through discoveries and scientific conclusions. The door of this knowledge has just begun to open, look how far and how much we've gained in just the last century

  alone. I personally cherish the wisdom of the truth of knowledge and dealing with the reality of life as it presents itself, good or bad.. If anyone thinks that human ignorance was not prevalent

  thousands of years ago, one really needs to do some in-deft history reading or read the bible, Torah, or any ancient religious manuscripts to prove my point. Mysticism is imagination

  supported by ignorance in the human mind, this separates itself from reality and conclusion. Perhaps if men were to finally walk away from their gods and walk toward humanity together we

  would be better off, I think so. I was brought up a JWS. and found it to be a very corrupt and deceiving religion which was full of coercion and apathy I eventually left it based on those

  findings. But still if men are in a need for power and money I suppose the gods of organized religion will bring it to them, this is something that atheism can never do.

  2. friends

  i've heard about a few studies that show atheists are smarter than theists in some aspects of life- science, maths, etc.

  i'm not sure how true it is though, so let's see how we do.

  i did my test at www.iqtest.com.
