  Inconsistency: Tower of Babel vs. space program

  by tootired2care in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  several years back i remember listening to a public talk.

  the title of the talk escapes me; but one of the points (albeit wierd) that was brought out, is that the part of the mytholgy behind the symbol of apollo was defiance of god.

  he made this jump by linking apollo with ishtar (nimrods wife) wife somehow...he used this point in connection with the nasa space program to make the point, that the space exploration was a defiant action against god, as a modern day like nimrod account.

  I remember hearing that the belief was that nimrod was building the tower because of the flood and more or less antagonizing God to break his promise of flooding the earth and instead of an ark they would survive because of the tower .

  Why did you become a Jehovah's Witness ?

  by Gnosis in

  2. experiences

  why did you become a jehovah's witness ?.

  initially upon entering the religion what were the positive things you experienced ?.

  how did that particular way of thinking both benefit and harm you ?.

  New contribution box at the hall ?

  by Poztate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do you think in view that they now have wt production videos.. (a costly endevour) that they might in addition to the www, local and literature donation boxes start a wt video productions box with special guilt laid on parents with small children to donate ?.

  it does seem to be all about the money so it wouldn't suprise me...how about you.

  The End of False Religion Is Near! HAHAHA

  by tootired2care in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  memories!

  i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..

  i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.

  It has to be illegal if the world ended invisibly, how can they justify taxing God? LOL

  Jehovah's Witnesses and The "Mentally Diseased" - Is it projection?

  by fade_away in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  if this is not the epitome of irony, i dont know what is:.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urbxtvuat1g&feature=related.

  they call those who simply don't agree with their totalitarian dogma "mentally diseased" when there is documented evidence that points out that they are simply projecting their own issues on a group of others they deem "undesirables".

  with all that , maybe they are in the right place , keeps them from mingling with sane people since they can't have friends outside the friends. Maybe we just put some padding on the walls and floors and keep a few straight jackets handy then tada we have us a regular funny farm .

  The perfect storm...time to exit the JW's

  by Giordano in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  is this the perfect time to tell family that are still in that you are so upset/devastated/embarassed over the candace conti revelations and trial and what happened to her as a 9 year old witness that you need to step away from field service and the meetings and do a lot of private praying.

  you've been stumbled badly and don't know what to think at this time.

  What Watchtower Got Wrong with Their Child Molestation Policy

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in the style of stephen lett, i'm trying to come up with an exhaustive, enumerated list (without his crazy eyebrows, goofy facial expressions, and nutty voice).

  what watchtower has gotten wrong isn't just their 2 witness rule.

  it goes much deeper into other failures of jw dogma that has allowed this injustice and others to flourish in their organization.

  I personally have no faith in the judicial systems abilities to prosecute cases competently . People lie all the time and so do lawyers , it's just a matter of who can sway a jury in their favor with dramatics usually. I did watch the OJ case and the only reason he got off was because of racism in the LAPD . Now I know the jho's are dysfunctional in a big way but they could at least try to preventnt young children from being ass raped by helping with a secular investigation but then again freindship with the world is enmity with GOD. Satan is a vicious manipulator and will do anything to get a christian to turn from chaste to condemned , just another feather in his cap . If the WTBTS can use courts to attack people over copy right infringement or over matters of persecution they have already state a presidence of hypocrisy.
