Tell me does this make Any sense?

by whathehadas in

while satan and his demons fiddled around in heaven and earth.

jehovah and jesus waited for over 2,000 years before kickin them out.

while a jdubb who is declared a apostate by the governing body and elders is kicked out asap!

God_Delusion

Agreed.

Blondie, I can't agree with you that one needs to justify that God, his son and Satan exist.

Science and common sense point to the fact that neither of the above exist.

This thread just adds weight to that point.

Anniversary of our being egged by JWS, decide to show you all the letter we sent to 200 JW families!!! Enjoy!!

by Lady Liberty in

friends

i hope this letter finds you and your loved ones both happy and well.

one day, before the summer assembly, my parents informed me that they had serious doubts.

i just wanted it to go away, and for things to be the way they used to be.

God_Delusion

Absolutely superb!

How they didn't disfellowship you for sending out that letter is beyond me. Here in Cyprus, if one attempted to send out such an awakening letter, they would be hung up to dry.

Well done!

Lady Liberty, I do have one question for you though; it's obvious that you're a great researcher and it's quite plain to see that when you've got to figure something out, you go for it. Well, I advise that you carry out some research on "if Jesus Christ ever existed". I do warn you, you will not like what you find.

If you have the time to do the research (and I suggest you do), pm me, or start up a new thread on your findings.

Kind regards

What if there was "new light" that the 144,000 was symbolic?

by Sour Grapes in

i really think that if the watchtower had an article.

that had the new light that the 144,000 was a symbolic.

number that the majority of jw's would accept this.

God_Delusion

I too can't see it happening and fully back OnTheWayOut's comment.

They will print the "new light" theory of over-lapping generations in 2010. I do believe that there may come a time when the 144,000 are viewed as symbolic, but that will be a long time yet.

Occult vs. Cult

by God_Delusion in

occult = "the term is also used as a label given to a number of magical organisations or orders, the teachings and practices taught by them, and to a large body of current and historical literature and spiritual philosophy related to this subject .

" - wikipedia.

cult = "scholars and non-academic researchers who use the term do so from explicitly critical perspectives which focus on the relationship between cult groups and the individual people who join them.

God_Delusion

So you see, the WBTS Mind Control Movement rolls on. I never believed for one minute that the WBTS did this out of stupidicy. They run a billion $ corporation. You don't build that up using idiots, but build it up using idiots.

The Funniest Reporting Story I've Ever Heard!

by God_Delusion in

open mind recently posted the thread "honesty-in-field-service-reports" in relation to the borg requesting that all brothers & sisters report their time honestly.. well, a dub friend of mine recently told me the following story.

i'd also like to add that the co has also added the following story in his talks as the bit of humour all co's are required to do in order to make sure that the audience is still awake.. here goes........ a sister had a dream that she had a great day out on the ministry.

it was so good, that she worked out how long she was asleep (8 hours) and added the 8 hours to her monthly report.. now, some of you may think that's funny?

God_Delusion

Well, hopefully the above "experience" can cheer you up SoCal101.

Fun with numbers (or the Watchtower running out of steam) Statistics

by Aussie Oz in

having a look through the march wt pdf and noticed the graph showing the growth of jws and did a little basic math.

now math was not my strongest subject at school so i can stand some correcting on this if need be... but anyway, a little fun with numbers:.

1970; 1'483'000 is a growth of about 390% (av 19.5% per year).

God_Delusion

Cheers for that Oz.

I personally don't believe the figures the WBTS report. I don't believe that for one second, there are over 7 million dubs.

Now, some of you may think that's funny? I know that I do, but I've not reached the funny part yet.

The sister that had the dream, approached a sister in her congregation. You see, the sister that had the dream, wasn't alone in the dream. She (in the dream) spent the day with another sister (the sister she approached). Upon telling the sister that the two of them had a wonderful 8 hours of field service in a dream, the sister, who didn't even have the dream, also put down the 8 hours.

Now that my friends, is a classic!

Honesty in Field Service Reports....This week's CBS topic (among others)

by Open mind in

this week's congregation "bible" study.

the drone running the show asked an auxiliary question (tm):.

"so, what could be some of the consequences if people weren't honest in reporting their field service?".

God_Delusion

Hey Open Mind.

There wasn't a method to my madness unfortunately. I was going to put 150,000,000, but then thought that would be silly. You see, my mother, a regulus pioneer, used to/still does the same thing.

If we were invited to a dubs home and a demonic unbeliever was in our midst, she would chat with that one for about an hour. On our way home though, she would tell us how refreshed she felt after spending 6-7 hours talking about Jehovah.

The apple, as they say, doesn't fall far from the tree...

RAB

PS. I know of many, many, many acting dubs that do the same thing. My former best mate, who is an elders son (or was 10 years ago), booked a holiday to Magaluf, but told his parents that he was going on a ministry mission in the Scottish highlands. Trust me, he spent a lot of hours in the field....unfortunately for the WBTS, it wasn't the field ministry. You see, I went with him. I also put down that I would aux pioneer that month. I auxiliaried 72 hours that month; none were spent in the Scottish highlands, although a few were spent on me being de-virginitised.

I loved that month in the field.....
