He appeared as regent in the personality of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia who warned the League of Nations of the dangers of the Antichrists Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo, and if they had listened to him WWII could have been avoided. I think its time I start convincing Dubs that the timing was right but it was a case of mistaken identity. I'm not saying the Rastafarian interpretation is correct, but that it is 1000 times more plausible than the Governing Body as being anointed by Jehovah.

Wouldn't the organization save money if they just owned a little jet? Oh yeah no military service means no airplane mechanics in the Bethel.

I conclude evolution is guided
by KateWild inyour qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.
k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.
in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

I am no scientist but after having taken Physical Anthropology in college concluded that if creationism is true and evolution is false, then the creator planted false evidence to test our faith and that would not be a God worthy of worship. So I choose to view the creation narrative as one of a loving Father telling a tall tale....does that make God a liar? Only if you see the world in black and white, which is all that some small minds can handle. People who go to church selfishly wanting simple answers and miracles. I have only pity for such people, but not respect.

For those that carry on as JWs secretly not believing.....
by snare&racket inmy heart goes out for all people stuck in all high control groups, either with insight into the falsehood of their beliefs or none.. to remain a member whilst knowing it false however, must be soul destroying.. my question is, would you carry on living the lie if you discovered that we get one life, one go at existing.
it's short, it's fragile and nobody in 100 years will care we even existed..... .......if you came to that realisation would you quit?.
.......if you had children, would you leave in order to set them an example in strength and appreciation of the short time we enjoy?.

It is always my most profound hope that the Jehovah's Witnesses could do a 180 and truly reform in the same way as the The Worldwide Church of God reformed into Grace Fellowship International. Believe it or not it is possible for an abusive cult to reform itself and go legit, you just need enough people in leadership positions who don't swallow the Kool-Aid.

CAN you remain Human and be a Jehovah's Witness?
by TerryWalstrom intwo ball bearings manufactured at the same time, in the same factory, by rigorous engineering standards, and produced to serve the same function inside a particular machine.. question: are they identical?.
the practical test of identity is separateness which identifies some reason for a rational distinction our mind demands!.
you can replace one ball bearing with any other ball bearing of the same batch.

A good question to throw at Jehovah's Witnesses is 'Do Jehovah's Witnesses have souls?' to which the standard dub answer is, 'a person doesn't have a soul, a person is a soul.' which is a semantic redefinition and evasion of the original question.

I showed my stepson a pbs youtube video for kids about logical fallacies and my wife found out
by SonoftheTrinity inshe told him to never watch that video again, which of course is going to make him even more curious about it, which is exactly what i wanted to happen.
i am giddier than a schoolgirl right now.
even the watchtower propaganda says to be careful and respectful with questioning teens and middle-schoolers in the congregation, and she comes up and does the opposite.

Yes but that was before they started discouraging higher education. It seems the faithful and discreet slave decided since there are already too many chiefs and not enough indians that the best policy is to keep it dumb. They wisely timed it to coincide with the rising cost of education in the United States so that the people would go along with it.

Part of me wants to confront her about it, but that would be a betrayal of my stepson's trust.

Even if she leaves me, I wonder how this is going to all play out. She just wants family Bible study to not involve difficult questions that are too hard for her pretty little secundary educated head. Well I have other plans! Bwahahaha!

My thoughts on the shunning part at the convention
by stuckinamovement inthe wts has gone off the rails and is "unrepentantly" hateful.
they are blatantly requiring mothers and fathers to disown/hate their own children that they have loved and cared for since birth simply because they don't comply with the orgs demands.
how is this love?

People who practice religiously based shunning should be outed and then harrassed at their job or place of business until they are brought to tears.
