  OKAY, GAME OVER! The number one reason the New Testament amounts to bunk

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me, the dead giveaway is this.

  jesus wrote nothing.. stop and think about that.. if jesus were the authentic messiah, his ministry would not simply be local.. his instructions, his mission, the details of his teachings would be too precious to risk leaving it in the hands of "men unlettered (illiterate) and ordinary (blue-collar yokels).".

  jesus, were he the one and only hope of mankind, would be absolutely certain to write down with great simplicity and specificity the exact owner's manual necessary to rescue mankind.. never happened!.

  so last night we had some friends around for dinner, (not jw) & it was a really wonderful evening.

  we talked about a variety of subjects, just had a laugh & drunk wine & beer.

  this morning my husband & i were talking about how nice it was, how free we felt with our opinions.

  no worse gossipers, guttersnipers, slanderers , backstabbers,character assassinators than jw's they simply thrive on it , but they become like it because of the close-knitness of their environments, one of the relief's of leaving their toxic unhealthy world.

  Proof of any Dragons

  does anybody have any proof of the existence of dragons?.

  we read in revelation about satan being the dragon, but aren't dragons mythological creatures?.

  sounds like he done very well for himself, some years ago we had an American family move to our cong by the name of Worth Thornton who served in Bethel for many years ( Ray mentions him) and his contacts in the transport office enabled him to set up in business when he left, he done very well indeed, his business ? an aircraft broker, very wealthy indeed, he died a few years after I faded.

  by Crazyguy in

  the wife leaves it all around, not sure if this is by design i don't think so since the return to jah brochure was never left out.

  it drives me a bit nuts but haven't done anything about it.

  looking for ideas on what i should do?

  get yourself a big thick marker pen and scrawl jwfacts.com, this forum name, silentlambs.org and any more you can think of on as many of the rags and books you see, she will soon stop.

  It is 5am and I still can't sleep. Contemplating life, doing research on religion, world history, science...

  my husband is still asleep but he will get up in about an hour for work so i'm going to quickly tell you my inconclusive conclusion.

  i don't know if i can believe in god anymore.

  i have come to the simple conclusion that he is either dead or evil but he is definitely not loving.

  years ago when i was "in" i loved the book study.

  it was my favorite meeting by far.

  mainly because it was a small group.

  I was long gone when this occurred, I found the BS pointless and boring like every meeting we'd drag ourself to, I was also vocal in asking why the 90/hrs per month for pioneers had to be enforced, total lunacy and nothing short of wastefulness, wondering what next is to fall?

  they are in it for life, just think how many ass's they have kissed, been bent over, toiled in their early years to reach the pinnacle of their jw careers to make the ultimate position , the power and prestige and the knowing they would be nobodies walking away from it.

  Fulano if a GB member was announced to be visiting the UK or anywhere in Europe they would sell out any venue, the same when GB members visited Twickenham in the 60's and 70's 60k plus were packed in, more at The International Convention at Wembley in 1969, us Brits do as much sucking up to these characters as anyone, sadly these degenerate scroungers are known worldwide.
