  Letts- Herd's comments only reinforce what the JW Leadership has believed for 85 years namely women (Sisters) are second rate humans.

  What's funny and odd about our former religion is the idea of arguing with Jehovah about stopping Armageddon never comes up and yet arguing with God is one of the earliest stories taught in the Bible. Lot tries to argue with God over not destroying Sodom if he can find just a few good people.

  How come JWs are never taught to argue with God over Armageddon, there's got to be ten good people around on any given day....

  I think this acceptance of massive genocide sort of appeals to the JW on some twisted level.

  It is a hate group.

  Why is the GB determined to delete the few enjoyable aspects of being a JW?

  by NAVYTOWN in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems the gb is trying to give the jws a more modern, friendly image.

  new website, new logo, cartoons for instructing children, literature carts, slimmed-down books and magazines, etc.

  yet on the other hand they delete some of the things many jws enjoy most: the book study in private homes, congregation picnics and large get-togethers, private group watchtower study sessions, colorful socks for men, denim dresses for women etc.

  Its this ongoing 85 year Litmus Test, purging the ranks of independent thinkers, looking for the perfect flock of passive sheep...

  Mass Slaughter of Animals in Hindu Festival

  thousands of animals have been slaughtered at a religious ceremony in nepal.

  the gadhimai festival takes place every 5 years.

  apparently some imaginary deity can be bribed by the sight of blood.. before getting too judgemental does it remind you of anybody?.

  another thread related but the title only says, "china is #1", which can mean anything and hence many may not view it who would be intersted in the world power shift.. for the first time since 1945 usa is #2 for economy.

  Why isn't the story of SAMPSON quickly and clearly regarded a myth?

  judges chapter 15:.

  14 when he came to lehi, the philistines shouted triumphantly at meeting him.

  then jehovahs spirit empowered him,+ and the ropes on his arms became like linen threads that were scorched with fire, and his fetters melted off his hands.+ 15 he now found a fresh jawbone of a male donkey; he reached out and grabbed it and struck down 1,000 men with it.+ 16 then samson said: with the jawbone of a donkeyone heap, two heaps!

  you are probably wondering if i've lost my mind with a question like this~!.

  The Question(Faith and Hope) and the arguements about it often revolved round who Believers thought was speaking- the human or the divine being when doubts and uncertainty emerged.

  CAN WE SOLVE THE MYSTERY of why Watchtower doctrines changed when they changed?

  by Terry in

  1. jw

  if a person gives a police report of a traumatic event, but later changes their facts during cross-examination, these changes are used to impeach the honesty of the witness.. this impeachment flows from a logical understanding facts must match reality without contradiction.. lets examine the history of the watchtower corporations leaders with a view to the harmony of.

  true teaching over a period of years from 1879-1942.. "even though christmas is not the real anniversary of our lord's birth, but more properly the annunciation day or the date of his human begetting (luke 1:28), nevertheless, since the celebration of our lord's birth is not a matter of divine appointment or injunction, but merely a tribute of respect to him, it is not necessary for us to quibble particularly about the date.

  we may as well join with the civilized world in celebrating the grand event on the day which the majority celebrate - "christmas day.

  One premise followed by Russell, Johnson, Rutherford, and Franz (pus other groups like Armstrong) was that the Bible was a Sacred Mystery revealed only to the 'Elect'. Perfect premise for the ADHD super obsessive types.

  Deeper and deeper interpretations were Signs you had the channel to God. That perpetuates itelf. The 1960s were filled with Franz's theocratic complexities.

  Never mind wht a Hebrew or Greek scholar had to say, it only mattered what Vision Franz was getting from inside his apartment in Brooklyn.

  Michael Brown verdict discussion policy - take II

  by Simon in

  i had originally thought that making the rules clear about what was and wasn't going to be allowed when discussing the michael brown verdict that we'd be able to avoid some of the unpleasantness that surrounded the subsequent trayvon martin trial discussions.. michael brown verdict discussion policy.

  i had hoped that once the evidence came out there would not be as many people promoting opinions that contradicted it.

  unfortunately, that appears to have been naive of me.
