  Stupid Watchtower.

  by Darkknight757 in

  february 8-14 asstower is titled " a living translation of god's word.

  note paragraph 4:.

  “4 despite the clear evidence that the personal name of god belongs in the bible, many translations completely omit the sacred name of god.

  the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom He had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era and is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church.

  That's basically why Paul never described the God he was trying to distinguish from all the others as YHWH at the Aeropagus, in Acts 17. It would've meant nothing to all those non-Hebrew speakers and so would've been entirely inappropriate. God was the universal father of all and referring to him by his old covenant Hebrew title was no longer appropriate.

  Notice they say "..faces expulsion...", not "..will be expelled". The paedo expresses some remorse and he is only reproved and is still free to go door to door. And no one gets to know. Truly sick.

  I loved it! Most people will disagree, but frankly I commend his outrageous 'in your face' courage. Sometimes people need something shocking like this to get them thinking and snap them out of their brainwashed slumber. Everything he said was perfectly true, he's not a nutjob at all. I don't think this was counter-productive at all, rather he would have sewn many seeds of doubt, especially mentioning the BBC doco. And with so many little children hurt and abused, damaged, by the Watchtowers wicked child abuse policy, more of this kind of in your face, shocking public shaming is needed.

  There's lots of recent articles on his website. Every few days there's something new. Can't post scandalous inside 'leaks ' all the time.

  I'm surprised there is no article discussing the latest world wide report though.

  On the contrary, Village Idiot. To be fair, JWs care so much about their religion they'd rather die than fight (in nazi concentration camps, etc).

  Even the Overlapping Generations isn't an original concept

  to my surprise, i found this: .

  the overlapping generations model is an economic model .... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/overlapping_generations_model.

  if those people from wt are inspired, why can't they at least come up with something original .....

  Excuse me, but Jesus said 'this generation', SINGULAR! Not generations, plural.

  And since when did Jesus' words so long ago in the ancient past have anything to do with abstruse economic modelling theories two millennia later?

  The Irrational Psychopath Landlord

  by The Marvster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well after a few years of lots thinking, questioning everything, and deconstructing of jw logic, i keep coming up against some problems.

  though i probably consider myself an agnostic nowadays, one of the conclusions i keep coming back to is, if there is a god, looking at the way nature is structured, for example the predator-prey system that is indispensible to the survival of organisms, he is unlikely to be the same loving guy that's described in the bible (could he not have come up with a more compassionate system of survival in his limitless intelligence).

  then again sometimes the actions described in the bible make him look like the description in the title of this thread... jw's definitely didn't help much with their logic.

  And thus the undeniable conclusion is that the ancient desert dwelling God invented in the scary stories of ancient Jewish priestcraft...is simply a fiction, an ancient pious literary fraud to induce submission and obedience of ignorant, unscientific, illiterate Hebrew tribes of an age long gone..and to keep those tasty meat sacrifices coming in to a non-working clergy class.

  No different today. Scary stories of amoral, vengeful deities will always have mass scare appeal for the superstitious and weak-minded...and keep the donations rolling in.

  The Retractable Dangling Carrot

  by TMS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some scattered thoughts about the granting or denial of privileges of service as a control mechanism:.

  this method of persuasion involving reward or punishment is so deeply ingrained in watchtower function, it is second nature.

  although sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant, everyone from new bible study to traveling overseer is subconsciously aware of the possible limiting of his official opportunities to serve god and his brothers.. .

  All Miserable Servants and Eldohs should simply take the Watchtowers retractable carrot and shove it up the Watchtowers ass!

  every drop of breast milk has roughly 1 million white blood cells in it.

  so the next time you see a jw drink milk or eating milk with his cereal etc.

  you must run over and take it out of his/her hands and then give them a stern warning.

  Huh? Has the Watchtower decreed that white blood cells are a no-no?

  since i just signed up and posted a few times without doing this yet, here is my story..

  i think that i became a jehovahs witness because of my immaturity.

  i had some quirky personality traits, and i joined finding that i fit in because, as i said to myself: these people get me.

  Superb. I see the JW in so many ex-JWs, both on this forum and amongst friend's and family. I see it in myself sometimes. From preaching new age beliefs to atheism, the JW evangelist impulse can be hard to extinguish. It's a form of arrogance really.
