why would God and Jesus hate the united nations?
by nowwhat? in

shouldn't they say thanks for" holding down the fort" until we take over?.

Yes, how evil the UN is, trying to help unify divided and warring nations, stop war, poverty, disease. Its totally understandable why Jehovah must crush the wicked UN. What a great shout of praise all the angels and lovers of righteousness will give Jehovah for doing that.
And not forgetting that when the Watchtower became a UN affiliated NGO it signed an application form pledging to uphold and support the goals and ideals of the UN Charter, which includes use of military force against aggressor nations.

Contempt of court, case in San Diego county really disgusts me!
by Crazyguy in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
this case has to be talked about by ever awake jw every apostate everyone.

this case because they refuse to hand over documents the court already knows they have because they handed them over before but heavily redacted, is the icing on the cake!

this case shows thier evil plain and simple.
fukitol

It truly is absolutely disgusting. This needs to come to the attention of the mainstream media. Perhaps Barbara Anderson can help with that?
The Watchtower is currently reeling from all the bad publicity and snowballing legal exposes of its criminal pedo coverups, which they remain obstinately and wilfully in denial of, with the organisation perilously close to reporting negative growth for the first time since the 1975 debacle, and this is a great opportunity to deliver a roundhouse kick to their chin at a crucial time.

spiritual crisis
by indi7 in

2. experiences
two years ago i had a kundalini experience.

i felt energy or chi pulsate through each of my chakras, from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, then back, after that i felt like a newborn for three days.

i felt like i was reborn spiritually and god gave me a new name - indi.
fukitol

Please tell us a bit more about yourself indi, and how you came to have your kundalini experience. Are you a former JW? I notice it's your first post on this forum.

Did I open the gate to the realm of demons?

2. experiences
this is what happened.

i had a sore tendon in my wrist.

i could work with it, but nevertheless the pain was there.

Sounds like she is a Reiki practitioner or similar.
Kinda funny to see people try to explain such phenomenon away as a placebo effect, power of suggestion, a psychological disorder, etc. Better to just accept that there are some forces and mysteries that we can't explain or comfortably fit into a purely materialist paradigm. Doesn't mean you're compromising on atheism.

Open discussion on "Spiritual Intelligence"
by Fernando in
1. jw
2. friends
it was a surprise to learn that there are quite a number of si books, and si tests, out there.. what are your thoughts on si?.
fukitol

The word 'spiritual' has so many negative connotations and provocative meanings associated with 'religion', that whoever coined the term SI simply wasn't very intelligent, or it was coined by a secret Christian with a hidden agenda towards conversion.
I think 'moral and ethical intelligence' is much better..

The Borg and the bible, don't eat blood! Jesus, eat my blood! WTF?
by Crazyguy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
your thoughts , and is in it interesting how much jesus teachings seem to contradict the jewish god jehovah.

.
fukitol

Yes indeed.
But JWs will respond that Jesus' words were purely symbolic, which of course they are, so his command to eat his blood is irrelevant to the blood transfusion debate.
But then they forget that blood is purely a symbol for the life or soul that is lost. Does a blood transfusion involve loss of life or soul? No, none whatsoever. So a blood transfusion has no symbolic value in God's eyes whatsoever. It's no different to any other organ transplant.

What is the Modern Christian's Role, According to the Bible
by jacobm in
1. watchtower
2. bible
if any other christians can answer this:.

what is the role of the believer in this day of the church (the body of christ, not the building)?.

is preaching a main goal?.
fukitol

You don't need religion to achieve any of those objectives, ignoring the absurd bits about some 'kingdom' and being required to 'love' an invisible, aloof and totally unprovable cosmic sky parent that says he loves you so much and will answer your prayers but cannot lift a finger to prevent evil and suffering cuz that's messing with your free will. Go figure.
If you have to go to church to learn to be nice to people and help the needy then there's something wrong with you.

A lucid dream last night...exposes JW thinking
by HowTheBibleWasCreated in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
for anyone who understands lucid dreaming this story will come to no surprise.

if not lucid dreaming is defined as a dream where you know you are dreaming and have control of the dream.. last night during a dream i was at my uncles place for some reason.

my uncle is an elder, raised ia jw, pioneered in quebec in the 60s and is often giving talks at conventions.
fukitol

Sorry but I don't believe in lucid dreaming. You cant be in control of a dream or it is not a real dream. Sounds like new age mumbo jumbo tbh.

watch tower corp has changed a long-standing policy in regard to donations which had been in place a long, long time.

to appreciate how drastic these changes have been, you'd have to know how it was from the beginning.. .
