  interesting notes from the first round of district conventions in canada:.

  "you can trust the creator!

  " was said to be prepared uniquely for aboriginals in canada (and north america in general, i guess).. http://metajw.googlepages.com/t82.pdf.

  JWs and Star Trek...

  by Thylacine in

  one part of my experience with the jw's was that many of the elders in my congreagtion were die hard into star trek...i figured it was isolated to that one kh, but as i went to different ones, i noticed it was a lot of them.

  one elder explained his fandom as: "it makes me think of the new system.

  we will travel to other planets when the earth is full, and colonize the galaxy.

  Star trek sucks. Always has, always will.

  Sorry if I'm abusive, everyone.

  how do you handle them?

  i mean, sometimes they write things that are really hurtful!.

  do you just ignore them altogether?

  i was wondering if there is anyone on this board, that asides from leaving the witness mind reform program,

  has also brushed off all religions as a whole?

  and began looking inwards for answers instead?

  Millgal,

  I don't think that religious people are unintelligent either. People choose to be unintelligent unless they have some kind of developmental disability, of course.

  It's who you choose to assosiate with. If your self-esteem is low, you assosiate with unintelligent people, and become like them.

  Religion is they're crutch - for others, it's alcohol or drugs. Which one is preferable?

  Shock and Awe Doctrine/Changes- Watchtower Comments

  by burningbridges in

  hey everybody, i wanted to compile some watchtower / book references of doctrine changes or absolutely horrific comments the watchtower has said to show to my soon to be ex husband (i'm trying to get him to drift, so far it is not working, like at all, but i'm hopeful.

  ) here's a good example of something that did shock him though!!!!

  the watchtower said this about apostates and how they would like to be able to kill them: .

  The law of the land and God’s law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship.

  And I know Dubs are secretly sad over this one. But boy oh boy - they just can't wait till armageddon to watch us BURN BURN BURN!!! Just you wait to jehoblah comes and keels you, you infiideell!

  Officially THE most twisted, appalling line of reasoning I've ever heard.

  i've just received the latest digest from the yahoo groups 'jwtalks' there is a post in it by the person who runs it.

  i've heard some bizarre reasoning in my time, but honestly i think this one takes the cake.

  I wonder is jehovah's holy spirit can help with his/her poor grammar.

  I think everyone should go behind the swingset after school and beat each others brains in.

  That'll solve everything.

  1. anything jesus may have said or done, has been taken out of context his message was misinterpreted by the power hungry clergy that pushed for the spread of christianity

  I agree!
  
  

  2. he was about as holy as the krishna is to the hindus or muhammed to the muslims or even moses or elijah to the jews

  They're all the same.
  
  

  3. i believe all world religions have their place for teaching morals and values to the ones that it reaches, yet i do not subscribe to any of them,

  I, personally believe that people are religious out of habit or out of need - we all need something to keep us going off the deep-end. If it's religion, that's fine.
  
  

  4. i believe religions are glorified mythologies, they all hold elements of wisdom that allow an enlightenment of sorts, but essentially they are all the same simply differing by culture

  Again, bang on.
  
  

  5. as to the unholy babble, scrolls found in caves and stitched together with bindings after numerous men hand wrote them and filled in the missing pieces of parchment at times, picking and choosing from countless scrolls as to what was making the final 66 and what was going to be considered not worthy

  yep.

  I have looked into Buddism - it didn't work either.

  Now the question you should ask is if aliens put the bible on earth so humans wouldn't go crazy... I'm just kidding naturally - people love they're conspiracy theories.

  Personally, I don't need to follow a religion from going off the deep end. Now I could be wrong - and if I am, I am perfectly comfortable explaining my actions to some great creator and taking a dirt nap.

  I used to have the King James bible, but, unfortunately, the athiest got into me... you know the rest.

  If you can get past the the's and thou's, it's allright.

  Happy trails!
