I was shunned and love-bombed yesterday!

imagine that!

i was walking downtown in the morning when i crossed paths with one of the sisters from the hall.

as i was walking toward the little cell phone shop she had just walked out of when she looked right at me and whirled on her heel 180 degrees and walked really fast to the bank.

I shouted back after her, "Is it Shiboleth or Siboleth?"

LOL. I wonder if she got it, or if she was too busy running in blind panic.

Organ transplants...cannibalism?

by hubert in

jw
friends

i had heard that in the 1960's, the watchtower society forbade organ transplants, based on the bible stating it was cannibalism.. is there anything in writing in any of their books or cd library that verifies that stance?.

can you give me a list of where i can find this material?.

thanks so much.. hubert.

DoomVoyager

It may be argued too that organ transplants are different from cannibalism since the 'donor' is not killed to supply food"

Hmm. What about the Mosaic law that prohibits the eating of a flesh removed from a live animal? I guess Crooklyn just wanted to let that sleeping dog lie.

Is it the JW's or the God of the bible you no longer believe?

by reniaa in

i have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.

there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.

Reniaa: you have decided that wedding rings are a "gnat", and therefore wearing them is ok.

The serpent-god Ouroboros, who continually devours his own tail, represents eternity, infinity, and things cyclical in nature. The wearing of a ring symbolizing Ouroboros amounts to worship, or at the very least, glorification of Ouroboros; an appeal to the Entity to bless ones marriage with eternity. Similarly, the mounting of a ring to the sword of a warrior was an appeal to Ouroboros to bestow infinite life in battle to the sword-bearer.

Your unsupported assertions that celebrating Christmas amounts to worship of false gods pale in the face of the serpent-worship inherent in the giving and wearing of wedding rings. It is clear that Christmas is the gnat; wedding rings are the camel.

And as a concluding thought; "he who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much".

Reniaa, do you wear a wedding ring? If you are unmarried, would you wear a wedding ring? Are you aware that the giving of a ring during marriage ceremonies was first practiced by Germanic pagans... and that the ring symbolized Ouroboros, a very "satanic"-looking serpent god who continually ate his own tail, giving him the shape of a ring? Furthemore, rings were also attached to swords as good luck charms in battle.

Please don't jump around like a skittish little witness. Just answer yes or now, do you wear a wedding ring, and were you aware of the above facts?

A knock-down argument against the WBTS interpretation of Matt 24:45-47!

by yadda yadda 2 in

the wbts teaches that in 1919 jesus inspected all of christendom and appointed the wbts "over all his belongings" in fulfillment of matthew 24:45-47: "who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.".

DoomVoyager

There are multiple arrivals, visible, invisible, types, the great antitype, besides Jesus doesn't matter anyways, we look to the FDSC for our salvation, blah blah blah blah. Go away apostate scum!

The Facebook Shun

by sass_my_frass in

a modern twist on the shun the other day: somehow an old jw friend had added me to her facebook friends a few months ago.

i thought i'd leave her alone for a while, figured she'd read my blog and discovered my current opinion on the organisation and what they did to my family.

i hadn't messaged her, but the other day i'm on and notice that she's online, so i start a chat.

DoomVoyager

Spiritually, I'm sure you're doing far better than you ever were as a dub. Dubs are among the least spiritual people I know.

Jehovah's who?

by jambon1 in

jw

at the end of the day, who really cares about jehovahs witnesses in the general population?

who gives a toss?

they think they have this oh so special message & how important they are, when really nobody gives a toss.

DoomVoyager

Most people think that JWs are some sect of Judiasm. They don't have the slightest clue about them other than some hazy image of wierdos who don't do any celebrations, clean up their convention sites real good, and wake you up on saturday morning with a big fake smile and a filthy rag.

Weird conversation! My first run-in with an evangelical type other than D2D

so yeah i am at work, and i was just kinda chatting with this other worker here.

i've been here two weeks now, so i just met this guy two weeks ago, he works in the plant and i work in r&d so i don't see him a lot, but from the brief contact we've had he seems like a pretty cool guy with a slightly offbeat sense of humour.

he's puerto rican or something.

Anyways he comes into the lab area where I am just now and we talked a bit, he says he wants to head home, but the rain is so hard he's going to wait a couple of minutes before he leaves. I say:

"Yeah, it's pretty nasty out there, isn't it."
"No! Nasty will be when Lord Jesus comes to earth for his people and everyone else has to fight for their lives. That will be NASTY."
"... ... ..."
"Well, see ya!"

wtf. I expect all of you folks from the Bible Belt would have just blew that off but I've never met anyone who actually belived in all that Rapture business, other than a few oddballs met in D2D field circus.
