I think if you just go to meetings only to keep up appearances and maintain some sort of social acceptance for family reasons that is ok, but if you also go door to door preaching their shit and influencing non-JWs favourably towards the cult, then you are a real hypocrite.

The God of The Bible Must be Stupid
by AnonVet ini don't mean to be blasphemous to the real god.
i just don't think the god of the bible is our actual god.
and i think the god of the bible is not very bright.. i was thinking about the flood the other day.

Every supposed divine intervention in the Hebrew scriptures or warning of blessings or malediction is nothing but scary fables invented by the ancient Jewish priestly class to keep their privileged position in society and to keep the meat sacrifices coming in, which they relied on for their food.
The ancient Israelite priests and their scribes simply made up frightening tales of an angry or blessing God to keep the masses scared and subservient and in awe of them.
All religion, ancient and current, is a little man playing tricks behind the curtain.

Do Not Give Up...making donations!
Do Not Give Up...despite this religion being an international disgrace with wholesale child abuse coverups and young mothers dying from refusing blood transfusions.
Do Not Give Up...even though our 1914 chronology and overlapping generation creeds are laughably false doctrine that is an insult to your intelligence!
Do Not Give Up...or Jehovah who is love will slaughter you at Armageddon along with 99% of the rest of humankind thus vindicating himself as a loving heavenly father worthy of praise.

"Extreme dangerment to ones spirituality" is grounds for separation the Watchtower says.
What a self-serving joke.
In other words, if your spouse is being disloyal to the organisation and this is discouraging you and causing you to become less active or have doubts, ditch them. Separate.
Pricks.

Where We Jews (and Religionists) Have Not Been So Forthcoming
by David_Jay inbecause i feel some people have become confused in thinking that i am promoting religion or thinking that being jewish is some type of special gift that makes me better, i am writing to tell you that i don’t feel this way.
think of this as your christmas gift (or chanukah or festivus or whatever).. despite the fact that i too practice a religion, i also think atheism is a purposeful and noble use of the mind.
too often people with a religion have only bad things to say about atheism and atheists.

Many of the atheists are doing better than religionists!
by anointed1 ini got up today to listen to the shocking news that russia’s ambassador to turkey was assassinated at an ankara art exhibit, and assassin was acting in the name of god.. it seems things have evolved to the other extreme that atheists are doing the work of religionists and vice versa.
while religionists take delight in killing fellow humans in the name of god, there were many atheists who followed very elevated morality.
the french existentialists and writers jean-paul sartre and albert camus were some of them.

How does the overlapping generation ( interpretation) apply to these scriptures ? ,part 2.
by smiddy ini wonder how the overlapping generation interpretation by the wt /jw religion applys to these scriptures reffering to a generation or these generations.. a generation reffering to one that the bible scriptures acknowledge is approximately 50 years in length give or take a few years.. mathtew chap 1:abraham born in 2018 , jesus born in 2 bc , =2016 divided by 42 generations as stated in matthew chapter 1 amounts to 43 years for a generation.. so how does an overlapping generation fit in with the wt interpretation with this scripture for a generation.?.
obviously an overlapping generation does not apply here .. so when does the jw/gb apply an overlapping generaration and when do they not apply an overlapping generation ?.

Quite simply: it does not apply.
It is a completely unscriptural perversion of the natural and obvious meaning of what Jesus said.
The Watchtower are despicable frauds who have willfully twisted Jesus words to fit their self-serving 1914 false doctrine.
And the deluded 8 million Watchtowerites who support and perpetuate this blatantly false creed simply have no common sense or love of truth, preferring unquestioned loyalty to the Watchtower idol than the words of Jesus.

Do you believe that Jehovah is using the Organization today?
by Iamallcool inany elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.
i hope that they will never ask me that question.
any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.

The best answer to this is to say that scripturally Jehovah only works through covenants and not with 'organisations' (not a scriptural term), and that often he has worked through single prophets when the covenantees have strayed, eg, the prophets sent to correct erring Israelites.

The "anointed generation" is wrong, not because it is dragging on too long, but because it is too short.
by prologos injesus taught a surviving generation, a group inhering everlasting life, an escape route to avoid a global disaster worse than the flood, a generation that "will not pass away--" an infinite generation.
wt teaches a generation that dies, ends, passes away, at the first sign of real trouble, the great tribulation.. what do you believe about this wt assertion?
(apart from that there is no talking snake, it is all irrelevant).

Who was Jesus speaking to?
A small group of disciples in 33AD.
When did the great tribulation occur back then? 70AD when the Romans sacked Jerusalem.
37 years later!
End of story!
Ps - Mark was written after 70AD, which the other two synoptic gospels embellish upon.
