  Why did they have to HANG MARY?

  by Terry in

  they hanged mary!

  (the townsfolk did)i'll tell you about it - but .... the facts will turn readers against her.

  i mean, after all, she did kill a man.sympathy instantly dries up; making her agonizing death--as awful as it was--much less empathetic.

  Humans can do very strange things compelled out of ignorance and emotions.

  Like hanging an elephant or creating a religion.

  Thunderous Applause Around The Stadium

  by Number 6 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  growing up in the 70's and 80's in the jw religion who remembers the massive stadium gigs the watchtower used to hold?.

  we used to denounce false religion in the starkest of terms.

  we were right and by god we were letting anyone who listened know it.

  All religions - as well as sports fans - have the same sense of tribalism/belonging. "We're the best."

  Good point BoogerMan
  

  The brainwashing was just as strong back in the 60's 70's we are the most righteous people on earth and the most happiest because of it.

  This was all due to the FDSL direction and guidance, who were really just lying and corrupt religious charlatans and biblicaly false prophets.

  This unfortunate event looks to be a confrontational meeting of two problematic idiots , the cop and the suspect.

  JWs want to preach right now so very badly, they feel the fish are biting

  by BourneIdentity in

  they know many people are fearful and feeling vulnerable due to world events.. but something i’ve always considered is how will they be better off by becoming a jw.

  they can be a jw, but the world events still are happening causing everyone anxiety.

  and no, jws are not immune from this, jws are more anxious and paranoid as ever right now.

  So really, what benefit do they get by converting?

  They take on a self identity of righteousness before god, in his approval ready to catch that ticket to eternal paradise.

  The wicked world to them is soon to come down as promised so subconsciously they are internally happy, the most happiest people on earth.

  They accept the fulfillment of prophecy happening all around them in their minds.
  

  In the mean time they get some redemption from their sins (thank you Jesus) and some direction which they have been told they need to stay righteous. (thank you Watchtower Corporation )

  They cant wait for Armageddon to occur, the really good stuff will come after that.

  Bring it on Jah, your will be done as it is in heaven.

  Unfortunately deaths by actions of police officers usually go about at a slow pace.

  Due to this fact and it was again with this situation, the calls out of racism went out and spiraled out of control, enhanced no doubt by the private video that went online quickly.

  Hopefully things will quiet down until the charges and the ex-cop go to court.

  I dont think this was a direct case of racism but one of a physical arrest that went haywire incited by bystanders who were directly interfering.

  Why is this an APOSTATE site?!?

  by LaraK in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i made a big mistake when signing up at this supposed website for jehovah's witnesses.

  after reading some things on this site it has become apparent to me that this site is nothing put another pathetic site for apostates: people who betrayed jehovah, left the truth, and are so bitter about their experiene in the truth, and they are angry just like satan because they know they will very soon be dead at jehovah's hand!.

  this website should be renamed something more fitting like "satan's playground" or a similar name that would get across the message of your site.. sincerely,.

  The WTS leaders (GB) dont want the devoted members to see the old WTS literature because they might find out the WTS/JWs leaders (GB) are corrupt apostate sinners.

  The various aspects of controlling information is there in the JWS by its top orchestraters for obvious reasons. Strive to control incoming information is an important endeavor with most religoius cults, without it you may lose followers completely.

  The leaders of the JWS (GB) are the real ones who dont want present JWS to read any of the organization's old literature.

  They just might realize what a tainted fraud they are involved in/with as a commercialized religious publishing house.

  It all seems a bit nonsensical now being that the officer(s) involved were fired and the main cop is now charged with murder.
  

  What if the guy who died was a white guy and the officer was a black man ?

  Floyd was physically resisting arrest which took three police officers to take him down.

  The bystanders that were close by watching the event and voicing their own opinion were causing some interference which might have caused the police to loose focus to what they were doing.

  I dont think the main cop was really trying to kill Floyd but he lost awareness how long he had his knee on Floyd's neck causing to him to loose consciousness.

  If he is charged with murder that would be an injustice to the cop, involuntary manslaughter yes.
  

  If Floyd's autopsy reveals he was high on drugs which facilitated his death, this is going to make even more a difference in court..
