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.

This rag is so stereotypical that they might as well have written it in Tonto-esque pidgin english.

The copper serpent....drives me nuts!

by oompa in

graven images are so thoroughly criticized in the bible....totally forbidden.

yet any idols made where powerless...just a piece of wood you can also cook on.

yet god sent out zillions of vipers (thanks dude) to bite everybody....and actually has a scary viper impage made an put on a pole....with some serious power attached.

Most scholars have come to the conclusion that the "fiery serpents" were Guinea worms, and that the serpent on a pole was just a visual reminder of the traditional treatment for guinea worms. http://pudsandlosers.blogspot.com/2008/01/guinea-worm-and-medical-practice-symbol.html

by Wasanelder Once in

ok, that's shameless, but it's the premise of this overdub i did of a jesus movie.

i'm somewhat partial i know, but i think its pretty funny and very telling.

That modulated voice was creepy as hell. Otherwise it was pretty good satire. The ending was great. Don't forget your highlighters!

Thank you, Watchtower, Bible and Tract Society!

by David_R in

i wanted to say thank you to the wbts for enforcing a 'no-contact' rule on all those that have left the organization.. only by experiencing first-hand my former best-friends treating me like a complete stranger (see 'garbage') for standing up for my own beliefs was i finally able to tell the society 'good-bye' forever and not feel guilty about it.. i know this was not the wbts's intention from the alienation practice.

it's intention was to make me feel guilty and lonely enough to come back to them.

however, it has backfired on them and finally given me my freedom.. thank you, society, for lacking kindness and understanding.

Welcome David. Ignore the trolls&loyal witlesses here and enjoy your freedom!

6 THOUSAND YEARS OF HUMAN HISTORY ENDED in the year...????

by Terry in

1873 [six thousand years of man's existence ends in a.d. 1873] {wr apr 1880 88}.

1873 "here we furnish the evidence that from the creation of adam to a.d. 1873 was six thousand years.

and though the bible contains no direct statement that the seventh thousand will be the epoch of christ's reign, the great sabbath day of restitution to the world, yet the venerable tradition is not without reasonable foundation.. if, then, the seventh thousand-year period of earth's history be an epoch specially noted as the period of christ's reign, we shall, by showing that it began in a.d. 1873, be proving that we are already in it.

1972 "Jehovah, the God of the true prophets, will put all false prophets to shame either by not fulfilling the false prediction of such self-assuming prophets

How on earth can they get away with writing this shit?

I just got back from a vacation, and I had to share this one with all of those who aren't getting the Kool-Aid Washtowels any more.

Scriptural Questions Answered:
1:35 - Did Mary's egg cell, or ovum, have any part in her pregnancy? For Mary's child to be
a true descendant of her ancestors Abraham, Judah, and David, as God had promised, her ovum
had to contribute toward her pregnancy. (Gen. 22:15, 18; 49:10; 2 Sam. 7:8, 16) However,
Jehovah's Holy Spirit was used in transferring the perfect life of God's Son and causing the
conception. (Matt. 1:18) It would appear that this cancelled out any imperfection existing
in Mary's ovum and from the very start protected the developing embryo from anything
hurtful.

Any questions?

Christianity after Nietzsche.

by Narkissos in

jw
friends

most of us are familiar with, or at least have heard of, friedrich nietzsche's virulent criticism of christianity: according to nietzsche the belief in, and desire for, "another (higher or future) world" and "eternal life" betrays a hatred of this world and real life, of power and beauty, of the animal and the "body," a "slave morality" which essentially consists in "resentment" against everything real, powerful, beautiful, etc.

christian "spirituality" is shameful "nihilism," nihilism in disguise, the central emblem of which is the cross, understood as the very negation of life, with the "will of power" and the cruel beauty it is made of.

nietzsche lumps together christianity and anarchism as expressions of the same basic rejection of reality.
