  You know, I've yet to meet a JW who can explain this

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that has probably been covered ad infinitum on jwd.

  so...... if jehovah is omnipotent, then there is nothing he can't do and nothing he doesn't know.. and, according to jws (as well as most other religions), god is love.

  therefore he had to have known, even before creating all of creation, what would happen.

  no, this is not a joke.

  having actually managed to survive through the entire 3 grueling days of the dc after attending the friday session today (hit sat and sun last weekend) i was initially going to make a criticism of some of the parts & points at the dc.

  however, something that i witnessed today changed my mind.

  They took her out in a wheelchair, not a stretcher, so she might have been alive. It was in Kitchener, I don't get the Kitchener papers.

  Apparently at this same convention, the year before I moved into the district, an oldie had a stroke and he did die. It was right in the middle of the drama.

However, something that I witnessed today changed my mind.
  
  It was during the morning session, before the song. A very elderly sister was sitting on the ground level of the rink, in the very first row. She was highly visible to all 4500 people in attendance. She suffered from what I believe was a stroke in the middle of the talk. A couple of brothers from first aid rushed over, stretched her out on the ground, and began frantically administering CPR right there, not even 15 feet away from the main stage. More and more brothers started coming out from First Aid, they brought a wheelchair and a stethoscope, still doing CPR, sister appears to be dead (completely lifeless and stiff).
  
  All 9000 eyes in the convention are fixed on this morbid spectacle, and do you know what the speaker does? He finishes his part on schedule, then the chairman gets up and thanks him for giving that encouraging part, and introduces the next speaker. The next speaker gets up on stage and begins deliviering his part AS IF NOTHING IS HAPPENING. Meanwhile there appears to be a dead body laying just a few feet from where he is.
  
  Eventually they loaded her into the wheelchair and rushed her off to First Aid. She was never even acknowledged by the speaker; they never gave an announcement later in the day; I haven't a clue whether she lived or died. I didn't see her again.
  
  So I decided to dedicate this thread to an old woman who, in all likelihood, sacrificed her entire life to a greedy publishing cult and was rewarded by being treated like a mangy old dog that you take out back and shoot. The way they scooted her off it was like they were just trying to hide her so she would stop distracting people from the main circus ring.
  
  This was at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, today, June 20 2008, if anyone else happened to attend.

  I honestly didn't believe this bullshit could be real... but I've got the articles right here! They're in the July 15th WT, (kool-aid edition of course). The articles are entitled "It is God who makes it grow!" and "You do know know where it will have success!" They include brand new lies about the parables of the of the Sower and the different soils, the Sower who sleeps, the mustard grain, the leaven, and the dragnet.
  
  Here are some choice quotes:
  
  "The subjects of God's Kingdom will eventually encompass the earth. All opposers will have been removed."
  "In this illustration, the birds represent right-hearted ones who seek protection within the CONFINES of the Christian congregation."
  "Growth is not always visible to human eyes."
  "...although an element may on once occasion have a negative connotation in the Scriptures, on another occasion the same element may be used to represent something positive." (I guess Jehoober just can't make up his mind!)
  "We may not see growth initially..."
  "Not only is this growth unseen to human eyes, but it is also pervasive."
  "...this growth has not always been readily discernable or understood..."
  
  
  
  
  
  I just made myself sick.

  Speculation

  does the word "speculate" have some special, derogatory meaning for jws?

  The Gibbering Body loves to speculate on the date of Armageddon, but speculation on the same topic by individual dubs is strongly discourages because it's a bit too close to independent thinking.
  
  Of course, the Gibberning Body doesn't even claim any further degree of spirit direction than any other Dub can hope to attain, so why they're allowed to speculate and we're not is anyone's guess.
  
  I propose that they're all insane. :D
