she sure has gone down in my estimation as an actress and /or role model for young women if that what she was ever about in the first place .. how gross is that ?

and the interview i saw after this with her was one big joke ?

She marches to the beat of her own drummer.

I think she is kinda nutz.

Ask yourself why you don't DESERVE "kindness" (A look a the Watchtower's struggle against "Grace."

by Terry in

graceyou won’t find any in the new world translation!no no no.you only find “undeserved kindness.”(ask yourself why you don't deserve kindness.

?isn’t kindness basic decency?

?if you are one of jehovah’s witnesses you have a reason.jehovah’s witnesses are never on firm standing with their god.

tiki

Interesting piece. I struggle with the concept of "grace" still.....

Love the junk jalopy analogy. Perfect fit for the mangled teachings of that religion. If only they would make a serious study of ancient history, cultures and mores before trying to dissect scripture perhaps they would come up with a more cohesive belief structure....or perhaps not.

My wife and I have begun our fade

by James Jack in

i haven’t posted in awhile.

my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.

my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.

Welcome to freedom...and reality! Enjoy life free of the anxiety and drag that particular religion puts on its people. And too...you owe none other than yourself explanation as to your decision. From what you say you have already ceased allowing them power over you by denying contact. Now relax and make the best happiest life for yourselves!!

Ever notice no pictures of any JW get togeathers?

by JimmyYoung in

i remember when i was a kid in the early 70s that we always had a baseball game or picnic where they would get together and bring a dish to pass.

every summer there was one or more.

we had canoe picnic parties and camp fires ect.

Flood over everest

by road to nowhere in

meeting part comment on how the flood covered everest.

that is even more ignorant than mountains being pushed up and eroding in a few thousand years.

and it wasnt cold either.. i should have commented on the bristlecone in the awake that survived the flood.

Wasn't it that giant water canopy from Edenic times....when the atmosphere was warm and humid and bright sun didn't shine through as we know today....and then the canopy plopped and submerged earth in massive tons of water and reshaped the geography and altered the geology???

I personally believe there was a flood in ancient days.....localized however....and speculations as to the topography and changes wrought are just that....speculations.

"Fine Witness" diluted in latest experience

by neat blue dog in

the latest jwdotorg experience starts very familiarly:.

danielle, one of jehovah’s witnesses in south africa, found a bag that a customer had left behind in a coffee shop.

inside the bag was a wallet with money and credit cards.. when the owner met her to get it back,.

tiki

These tales used to annoy me to the nth degree....so if you weren't a dub you'd be a crook is what they're saying.

When I was very young I had a part time job in a department store...they had hired another girl who was a witness I did not personally know. Well boss comes to me asking about her because they had ample proof that she stashed a bag of clothes and made off with it ...she got canned for the theft. So...being a witness does not equate with honesty in reality.

Outcast Doctrines

by Socrateswannabe in

in a recent post about the watchtower’s claim that all animals were created as vegetarians, one commenter said that watchtower could no longer sustain this belief so they simply stopped talking about it.

i began thinking about other wacky doctrines and statements by the borg that have faded away.

i’ll offer two of them below, but the complete list must be longer than your arm.. 7000 year-long creative days: watchtower once taught that each of the creative days was 7,000 years in duration, hence the hype leading up to 1975. they believed that year marked 6,000 years since adam’s creation, and oh how nicely the 1,000-year reign would fit as the last piece of the puzzle, thus completing the final “day”.

Haha....balaams ass...that is really good! I remember a long time ago someone wrote a satire on "The Ass Class".....

Yeah....millions now living will never die....

The transplant issue...from cannibalism to okay....I remember not being able to process how it was fine and dandy to accept an organ from another body but not the blood that circulates to keep that organ alive and functional...

The TV "Mr. Ed" that I recall was not a documentary but an American sit-com.....and a very lame one at that...

If you speak against the Governing Body you will be punished.

by punkofnice in

this was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.

somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.

the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

tiki

They certainly have an issue with accepting Jesus statement that your leader is one, the Christ..and all of you are brothers....

As for illness resulting from lack of faith in a few men with grandiose delusions....that is just idiotic.
