i'd like you all to tell me 2 or 3 things:.
1- were you raised a witness or not?.
2-if you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?.
1. yes
2. very theocratic
3. agnostic
sorry, i don't have a punch line for this subject line, but i .
sure someone will come up with one.. anyway, how long does it take to make a witness?.
after seeing the 2007 stats i thought to myself how many.
Witnesses aren't made. They are imprisoned. The elders have to always keep their eyes open to try to prevent the possibility of escape.
ladies and gentlemen..................... pass on this big peice of crap.
i went to see it today....... omg........ has will smith in it............ and it sucked.
made you so damn depressed........ .
Doesnt anyone like this movie? I'm usually disappointed by what comes out of Hollywood, but I really liked this movie. I didn't read the book, which usually ruins a movie for me. I thought it was an excellent and even artistic portrayal of loneliness. I thought this overshadowed the somewhat silly battles with the zombie like creatures.
i've had this idea for a few days, just mulling how to flesh it out if you will.
it may not be a new idea, but i'll try to get it out coherently.. lets say there is a guy, he's a jw but has been surfing the net and knows now that the wts is bogus.
he can't just leave, he has family-wife and young children who are in the borg.
Good idea. I've ever heard of anyone doing it, but I don't see why it couldn't work. If I ever move out of my area and am offered a bible study by a JW, I might accept for the opportunity to antiwitness.
i am very interested in listening to any recordings of jcs,.
recent or old.
have any been posted in the past, or does.
The only one I know about is here http://www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com/5flyonthewall.html
my daughter and i went to our very first yule ritual/celebration.
it was a beautiful ceremony with masks and costumes of the sun lord, white lady, and the raven of annwyn (sic?).
we witches (i'm in training) sure eat a lot of food (for grounding).
Interesting. I'm not really offended anymore by the pagan origins of Christmas. (I'm a little offended by the Christian origins of Christmas, but that's a different story.) I don't have any desire to celebrate pagan rituals, but I think it would be very educational to observe them sometime.
....anything at all??
?
They reject the doctrine of eternal torment, probably the most evil teaching in history. Unfortunately, they replace imaginary future torments with very real present torments. (fear of Armageddon, protecting pedophiles, shunning, etc.)
at a circuit assembly the co stopped his talk and asked the attendants to remove a crying baby and his mother .. she go up walked out the back started crying as she was studying she never came back.. saved by the co i say..
One visiting speaker recounted how a young brother recently asked him for help in overcoming masturbation. He made a funny face and said it was icky. It didn't have anything to do with his talk. He was just telling stories to use up time. I was appalled because he came from a small congregation and there may have been only a couple of young brothers that could fit the description. How's that for privacy? Another elder gave a talk about masturbation and said organism instead of orgasm. Another elder frequently referred to the thongs of Israel.
where did abel get the idea to put something on an alter and offer it to god?
i always wondered where abel got the idea to kill a little baby animal and burn the carcas as a gift to god?
i would have zapped abel on the spot before he could kill the poor creature in his care.
This story about God's thirst for blood makes me wonder if he was mad at Cain for killing Abel or for not burning him as a sacrifice,
why do so many people here attach any significance to the year 2014,. or more accurately, think that current jws will?.
when the year 2014 rolls around, and still no end of the world, why.
should anyone, including the witnesses, care?.
It could make for interesting news clips. If the media jumps on this, it could also lead to greater exposure of other issues like the pedophilia scandal.
