Decided to sign up...
by campaign of hate inso i decided to sign up after many years of lurking.
started researching after finding out about ray franz, which inevitably brought me to this site.. i'm still well and truly inn, but don't want to give any information out, i'm sure you guys know the reasons.. since "jay double you .
org" came online, there has been a definite sense of hysteria with everyone who is "inn", and i get a feeling it's going to get a whole lot crazier as the years press on.. one point i would like to raise is that i feel, without a doubt, that 2034 is going to be the new finish line.

Welcome!
Now that more JWs are getting Internet access, they need to have a look at these instructional videos to clarify some confusion the GB has caused with respect to the word "near" as in the phrase "the end is near":

... And wasn't it just a couple of years ago when they trotted out that "prodigal son" melodrama about the kid that was talented with designing video games... but he was a good JW, so he left that job and went back to working construction with his daddy and jealous brother? It was wrong for him to work in that tech field because there were sluts at work, it took to much time away from the cult activities, and the games were BAD.
To me, it's a mixed message. But I came from the time when WT said, "college is bad! We need spiritual men and we'll teach them ALL the skills they'll need in bethel." Then when I was in bethel, the example I saw was, "attending college is bad, but there are a few graduates that are here and get the royal treatment. It's in the Bethel Book of Angles." Now they're a step further and make no mention of needing spiritual men. They go straight to the list of skills. I think they admit their hypocrisy when they practically admit they want people with degrees but nobody can pursue such degrees based on this request.
Maybe I'm bitter and just see it that way. I have my degree now and couldn't imagine using any of my skills for that cult.

BBWT, it's not just the ban on higher education. Someone with the kind of job skills to make more Caleb cartoons would most likely have been working for a company that made cartoons about... gasp... Warrior Wizards! And we all know that those are bad! Plenty of JWs have had to leave good careers because their work required too much time or involved government projects or R-rated movies.
Effectively, this would be quite a fishing expedition to find JWs in good standing and with these skills and with the circumstances to go to bethel or work remotely for free.

Lets pretend jw's disappeared
by atheist_R_stupid inand joined your ranks.... this means...youre talking about a people, that currently are pushing no sex till marriage.
that would end and join into the messages you currently push regarding youths and sex.
that would be sex, with condoms.

I haven't bothered reading the comments, I'm just immersed in the title of the thread... imagining how much better my life and family would be if WT had disappeared in 1975! -

I stuffed something up ...
by fulltimestudent insimon, my apologies, i badly stuffed up a post in a thread i had previously started that i called, 'jewish exegesis of the ot scriptures in the days of jesus.'.
when the first post i made yesterday did not appear after a time (not sure, perhaps 30 minutes) i thought i'd done something wrong, so thinking that perhaps the problem may have been the length of the post, i attempted to re-post in shorter sections, still no appearance.. last night, all my attempts showed up.
perhaps you may like to remove the four last posts and i'll start again as a wiser (if not sadder) user.. .

Q-tips and Coffee Filters helped me learn TTATT
by RedPillPopper inwell they didn't fully teach me ttatt but helped me on the way.............. first thing i do in the morning after waking up is grinding some nice coffee beans and getting the brew started while i take a hot shower.
after the shower i like to clean out all the nasty wax out of my ears with a q-tip (or cotton swab for those not familiar with that term).. while cleaning out my ears i would think about how nice it is we have things like q-tips and coffee filters that make life more enjoyable but at the same time realize that somebody somewhere is in a factory making these.. i can't imagine a child saying "when i grow up i want to work in a factory making coffee filters".
the people who end up really doing that as adults did not set that to be a life goal.

Hardly anyone knows how to grow their own food or knows how to butcher animals.
Oh my, there won't be any butchering of animals in paradise!
Instead, Jesus will make pork chop trees and hamburger bushes!

Kingdom Hall science.
by DATA-DOG inmy wife is listening in today.
i hear the speaker talking about "godless" people.
they have not made a thorough investigation about creationism vs evolution.

When you hear dubs start talking science, do you cringe??
Of course. The longer I was in, the more flaws I found in their reasoning.
Did he use the watch analogy? I rewrote it in my mind this way...
A creationist and an atheist are walking down the street and see a watch on the ground. The creationist seizes the opportunity to say, "As an atheist, you must believe that this watch had no designer and builder, It just came together as pure chance."
The atheist responds, "No. It's clearly noted on the face of the watch that it came from the factory on the other side of town."
"Ah ha! So you have to admit that just like that watch which was created in a factory, everything has to have a creator--God!"
The atheist asks, "So God is just like that watch factory?"
"Exactly!" replies the creationist.
The atheist responds, "My father was part of a team that designed and constructed that watch factory."
The creation responds, "LIAR! That watch factory has existed forever and ever and didn't ever need a creator!" The creationist runs away crying and covering his ears at the blasphemy!

Why are JWs so afraid of apostates?
by Magnum inwhy are jws so afraid of apostates?
their view of apostates seems to be out of the realm of the ordinary, the natural.
its as if the words of apostates are supernatual or spiritistic as if apostates are some kind of jedi knights who can slightly wave their hands or twitch their eyes and bring one under a spell.

"Apostate" is used as a thought-stopper. It ignites an image of danger and fear, much like a child with the term "boogeyman". Tell them the boogeyman is coming and they run to their parents for protection.
Once we get to be older, boogie doesn't seem so scary...
