  Did you know about the organ transplant ban when you were a believer?

  by Apognophos in

  back when i was learning ttatt, i was shocked to read on jwfacts about the organ transplant ban from 1967 to 1980. this was a large piece of evidence for me that the society could not be god's organization.

  growing up as an earnest witness, and living near the headquarters, i knew a lot of the organization's embarrassing history, and it didn't faze me, but i'd never heard of this ban before, and it shocked me.

  it's gotten me wondering why no one i know ever talks about it, when it must have affected many witnesses during that time (or were they getting transplants on the sly?

  i was talking with two brothers at the kingdom hall the other day.

  one of them suggested seeing the new exodus movie.

  the other brother says, "i heard it's really violent"!

  " With that Samuel hacked A′gag to pieces before Jehovah at Gil′gal."

  " Then E′hud drew the sword from his right thigh with his left hand and plunged it into his belly. The handle went in after the blade, and the fat closed in over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly, and the fecal matter came out. "

  "and the inhabitants of Gib′e·ah rose up against me and surrounded the house by night. They meant to kill me, but they raped my concubine instead, and she died. So I took my concubine’s body and cut it up and sent the pieces into every part of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a shameful and disgraceful act in Israel."

  Yep, the Bible isn't violent at all

  Elder Tells Study to stop using google for research ???

  elder tells study internet is bad for research.

  (watch the video here...).

  it might be that the watchtower has embraced the internet in recent years as never before but in private things are the same .watch this video as an elder strongly discourages a study from using the internet to get answers.shameless mind control from the same people who promote in any kind shape and form their version of online truth ,jw.org.. not many years ago they used to demonise the internet as the following quote from july 2007 kingdom ministry shows:.

  To be fair, that quote from Question Box is about using social media.

  As is usually the case with UK people, this video needs subtitles for Americans. I can't understand probably about 10% of the dialog.

  I got taken off the email forwards list after debunking everything that was sent to me.

  It was all crap forwarded by people that didn't bother to even check Snopes. The hidden camera in your TV converter box!! The shark that attacked a helicopter!! Nephilim skeletons found!!!

  JW Flash Mob

  by Listener in

  2. beliefs

  a flash mob is defined as a large public gathering at which people perform an unusual or seemingly random act and then disperse.. jws are now in on the act and were doing this in bath on unsuspecting convention delegates during their tours after the convention.

  they did this on at least three seperate occassions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hmrqr-k4hq.

  here's another one, not so public though.

  Wal-Mart Workers Plan Huge Protest on Black Friday

  by talesin in

  1. social
  2. current

  wal-mart, which pays a top wage of $12.00+ to its full-time employees, is under attack, once again, by its employees and those who would like to unionize them.. i can't speak to the usa, but here in canada, most wal-mart employees are not full time.

  it is mostly a part-time employer, so zero benefits.

  in my opinion, that makes the $12.00+ look a lot smaller when you envision the actual paycheque.

  Wal mart brainwashes their employees though their morning worship program. Some of them seriously believe that Walmart is a good employer and that they would fail if they tried to go elsewhere

  A number of retailers do this morning indoctrination. ASMs get to go to an eight week indoctrination course. It is very much like a religion

  This is hardly anything new. I remember articles stating homosexuals ran the fashion industry years ago. Also, they were behind disco.

  My concern is that the state is forcing a business to perform activities the owners do not want to participate in. How far does this extend?

  What if I have an event business and I choose not to participate in 'Sweet 16' 'Quinceañera' or 'debutante' parties because I believe them to be culturally disgusting displays? Am I forced as a business to produce these?

  If I am an athiest and don't want to participate in religious themed events? Don't believe in marriage at all and don't want to participate in producing marriage related events? Don't believe in Halloween and don't want to participate in producing Halloween events? The list could be endless.

  This is an opportunity for the free market to create gay friendly marriage chapels if there is such a demand.

  I suppose one option is for the business owners to shut down or move to another city or state where such meddling in private enterprise isn't an issue.
