A question for those who believe in noahs ark

by bohm in

jw
friends

many times in the recent weeks, i have heard statements to the effect of "you dont understand biblical science", "science proove the bible right" etc.

i want to begin by saying i really like it when people make those kind of broad, sweeping statements because when each party in a discussion come clean about what they believe to be true, you can easier get down to a factual discussion.. and i really do want to understand biblical science.

i has spend a long, long time reading cuts-and-pastes on this site, and i have read a large part of the content on aig.

Maybe you should ask Gilgamesh... after all his story is a lot older than the mythological genesis account...

hey folks, so i'm trapped on the couch with a baby that will only sleep directly next to me so i thought i'd do some photshop fun stuff.

i ended up throwing this on a t-shirt and thought everyone here would get a kick out of it.

it's on zazzle for cost of the shirt if you want to buy one, i don't have any of these ready made otherwise i'd just send them to you.. http://www.zazzle.com/evil_apostate_tshirt-235340729895953018.

Questions for BANE, SCHOLAR, and All Jehovah's Witnesses!

by UnDisfellowshipped in

you don't have to answer all of them at once.

i would be happy to see your answers to any of these questions.. remember, the inspired apostle peter gave this direction in the holy scriptures: "always [be] ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of you a reason for the hope in you, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect.

" (1st peter 3:15).

"Well, It seems I am PARTIALLY banned as of this moment. I cannot start new topics. Isn´t THAT interesting? I told ALL of you it would happen. The apostate roams free like a lion and the true Christian like myself are kept down.
Boy my predictions are 100% with this forum! "
It seems you're doing much better that the wtbts in general.. their percentage is close to zero! You should be the next Rusell/Rutherford/Knorr...Jackass I mean Jaracz...

i received this from my mother on tuesday after we skipped the sunday session of the dc.

she's using guilt now and multiplying the effect by dragging my terminally ill mother-in-law (also uber-devout) into it the picture.... "sunday after the convention while we were counting the money someone came into the counting room and said there was someone outside wanting to see me.

i went out there and standing in the hallway was [your mother-in-law].

Works of Nietzsche, Paine, Wilde

by SweetBabyCheezits in

in the past, i was hardly keen on reading for pleasure but i have been cracking open some of the more, uh, classic(?

) writings lately in an attempt to broaden my limited understanding.

i'm pretty taken with thomas paine's the age of reason at the moment but i've also come across a number of quotes from nietzsche and oscar wilde that make a great deal of sense to me.

Kinjiro

Loved that quote of Heinlen, Mad Sweeny... right on the spot!

Time to go from Ministerial Servant to Elder

by garlic81 in

jw
friends

what is the shortest timeframe you've seen for one to go from ministerial servant to an elder if he:.

is on good terms with all elders and the circuit overseer.gives the co a green handout to help out with his expenses on each visit.has the co over for a meal each visit.has phone number and email of co and communicates at least every other month - just to chat about how things are going, good service experiences, etc.

(as any other friend would.

The time it takes is inversely proportional to the browness of your nose! The browner your nose the quicker you get there!

Titus... I concur... this thread and the one about COs is pure BS...

Do you know of ones who were mentally ill, that were labled as being demon posessed?

by miseryloveselders in

jw
friends

we have a few mentally ill ones in our congregation, and i don't mean suffering from depression or anxiety.

i'm not even talking mild bipolar.

i'm talking really messed up in the head, schizophrenic types, and bipolar withpsychotic features.

There was a woman (sister) who would go crazy every Circuit assembly. I was about 9 yrs old and all the people were talking about the 'demons' that had possesed her etc etc... most of the kids were scared sh*(&(*&.

I know now that she probably had some type of schizophrenia. Poor woman, to be stigmatized...

I also now that some cases described in the jewish-christian version of the so-called book of 'god' as demonic possession can easily be cases of the same sort of illness or even epilepsy... remember the guy who would foam at the mouth... etc etc?

Ignorance created the gods and myths (including the hebrew version...sorry If I offend thee...NOT)... Science and knowledge will be the death of them all...
