Is this fair?

this is my take on the whole inherited sin thing:.

let's say your parents committed a crime and were sentenced to life in prison, let's say 140 years.

now, they died 90 years short of their sentence.

Here's something, why even create something and place it in the garden if eating from it causes loss of life? This doesn't have anything to do with the tree, but it does have everything to do with his ego. At that point it was like we're gonna exercise our free will jehuber-boober, and he's all "oh yeah? well you can die". He allows it and he's an accessory to our genocide.

why are you an apostate for asking a question?

It's like wanting a new tv and you go do your research. In one magazine you have reviews of different products as they stack up against each other. And the other magazine you have is made by a specific company. You think you're gonna get real talk out of the company mag? The problem isn't asking questions, hell bible study noobs do that. It's when you ask a question that puts an air of adversity on the topic, that's when you get your problems. Like why does god need to wait to do what he's been itching to do this whole time? If everyone who was a dub is resurrected, and every human being on earth is not gonna die, and if we still have the task of filling the earth with people, how long would it take before earth becomes crowded? If we still have "free will" and we still can create things in the future how long before our creations wind up being the same destroyers of earth? I mean, unless we're gonna be all Amish.

I can't stand it either. I had to go to the convention and I must've rolled my eyes and surveyed all the idiots every time they clapped at some bogus statement designed to 'lead the witness' countless times. I didn't give a rat's rec who saw me or what they thought of me. It took everything I had not to get up and yell WHAT THE F--K!?

144,000 symbolism.

ok. i have a question that was never answered for me when i was going to meetings.

humorous answers are appreciated, but if anyone knows the real answer to this, i'd appreciate it, just so my curiousity will shut up.. the witnesses teach that the book of revelation is a book of symbols.

that's how they determined that hell is symbolic of being dead forever and that hell literal doesn't really exist.

I got one. Why does Jesus NEED 144,000 people to help rule over people who supposedly at that time would be purely and solely dubs? I mean everyone on earth is dub and Jesus, his dead-beat daddy and 144,000 newly appointed spirits are going to watch over the people who are going along with the program why? More time wasting? Ok.

So basically unlike pastors who take some off the top, the motion is made and then approved by a show of hands. "Sure dude, you can take the money that we put in the voluntary donation box, even though you haven't done jack differently than any other person up in this joint. Cool beans."

Dropped from my Bible Study like a hot potato

i had a bible study with a jehovah's witness for the past year and a half.

i was also attending meetings, but never went out in field service.

during a recent study, i told the conductor that i didn't believe in the 'annointed' & didn't believe the fds had a 'hotline' to jehovah.

Honestly, you want a study? I got ya study right here: Any question that they ask, provide a canned answer for it. Why should god be served? Duh... Because he created us? Who should rule over earth? Duh...jesus because he gave his life for us and he's all good. Why has god permitted wickedness? Duh... because a question was asked when Adum and Ugh sinned. Why should we refrain from blah blah blah? Duh because we wanna show our love for BlahHoblah There, you just had a study. Now where's my time sheet?

and noted how they made mention of how many people had left other religions, but of course they said nothing of how many had escaped the dubs.

i just thought that was funny.

i also must've heard what god will do as opposed to what he is doing like 700 times; and this was in one day.
Vachi 8 He Is

I mean I could've respected it a little more if they had thrown their ex-jw numbers for the year in there too, but to completely bulldoze past and diffuse the question with more dogma was just filth. The way it's designed it's like no one has left, or at least no one worth talking about. And that, much like the people in these seating arrangements at these CONventions is just wrong on so many levels. I mean, they're scaring the next generation of dubs into believing this crap. "Children! Work hard so that you do not lose god's favor like X person did." WTF!?

it just came to me out of the morning mist.

i was standing in my garage having a smoke just a few minutes ago.

Well in order for it to be divine it would have to be $1440.00 not 144.00. In numbers that would be 14,000. But here's a straw for effort. :)
