Christian self-righteousness

by fulltimestudent in

doesn't matter what brand of christianity - this cartoon says it all:.

Fernando

Great cartoon, which for me is more about hypocrisy, ignorance, blindness and double standards, than their nasty sibling self-righteousness.

More Watchtower history that the VISIBLE Golden Calf would rather not preserve for posterity...

"The ancient worthies did in fact return in 1925"

Few know that exactly as prophesied Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David did in fact return to reside on earth in 1925.

"Beth Sarim" was secretly prepared for them.

The house still exists, and is now occupied by their great grandchildren.

"JWFacts.com recants: Watchtower was right all along"

Long time Australian dissident Paul Grundy has finally seen the light.

This epiphany came about as a result of comparing Watchtower teachings and practices with those of Scientology.

For Paul this was like comparing night with day...

If the Jehovah's Witnesses were really the Faithful & Discrete Slave active today, they wouldn't be full of Bullshit

by Finkelstein in

if the watchtower corporation and the jehovah's witnesses were really the faithful & discrete slave active today, they wouldn't be full of bullshit .. this is a logical statement given the history of this religious institute / publishing house.

i said it before and i'll say it again, that the majority of the doctrines created by the wts were intensionally focused toward enhancing the proliferation of the wts own publications.

this has been a constant underlining agenda for the wts all throughout the last century, the end of the 19th century and still to this day.

Fernando

Precisely why they work so tirelessly to convince their followers/worshippers they are not full of BS.

Congratulations Garrett.

It may not be for everyone.

However it worked wonders for our family.

Hugely liberating and empowering.

It's time to say goodbye to JWD - I sold it !

by Simon in

a week or so ago i posted that the forum was 15 years old (15 years of jehovahs-witness.com) and hinted that there may be some news to announce about the site:.

i also may have some other news to share soon about the future of the site so stay posted.

well, now i can announce it - i sold it !.

Fernando

Right up until I read "Watchtower"...

Anyway it got me thinking.

If a newspaper could print anything they liked and disown it a day later...

How do you feel about religion as a whole?

by FatherFirst in

it just seems to me religion in general primarily makes truly bad people worse, not genuinly good people better; and in many cases has even made good people do bad things in the name of their religion.

just curious, a personal poll if you will.

what are you guys' current views on religion as a whole?

Fernando

I agree with your OP FatherFirst.

For me, religion is the arsenic in the honey.

Personally I have found what I've been looking for my whole life, in faith and spirituality, which to me are the very opposite of religion.
