Let’s Speculate!!!

by John Aquila in

you know the organization is slowly going down.

not as fast as we would wish, but nevertheless it is crumbling.

five (5) year old child baptisms, smaller magazines, child sexual abuse exposed, smaller annual growth, no one wants to reach out, young ones leaving.

MarvsterTalking of 1914, right now I'm watching one of JwFairytales' latest YT videos, Jehovah Bear and another character are in some future time talking with an elder who they tell that the 1914 prophecy is now actually 2014 for the beginning of Christ's reign; because the watchtower forgot to 'carry the 1' like they did when coming up with the fudged date of 607 but started with 606 and forgot about the year 0 not existing so carried the 1 to make it 607 (or something like that) so 1914 becomes 2014... I wonder if JwFairytales' prophecy will come true?

Not to mention the initial calculation being 1915, & when the doctrine further "clarified"tm (evidently)in the 20's suddenly lost a year & became 1914

Theory of Evolution and humanity are moving in parallel, and in opposite direction too!

by iconoclastic in

proponents of evolution theory was comfortable with their easiest method of induction that says something like this: i saw a blind man in the us, then in russia, then in australian, then in africa ..., hence all men are blind.

yet proofs are abundant for the decline (opposite of evolution) we experience globally!.

1) most humans declined into greed, the result of which is climate change which has the potential to wipe out all life from the earth.

Startrekangel In the animal kingdom, life is not respected the same way humans do.

Just out of intetest, chimpanzees, who cannot swim, have been found in zoo moats, drowned, trying to save other chimps.

In tests, Macaque monkeys have starved themselves for days at a time when they noticed that in order to recieve food, other macaques would be given electric shocks.

Scientists believe these behaviours may be similar to behaviours of our early ancestors which have evolved into human altruism.

So thats tool using, lies and now empathy. How much else will we discover our ape cousins do too.

I can completely relate to much of that behaviour, when I see it on a small scale at my kids school it has devastating consequences.

Makes me wonder if the recent on air killer had been a victim of shunning. As a gay JW that's almost a given.

Thank you posting this paranoid...."finished with my woman cos she couldn't help me with my mind"!LOL

December 15 2015 Watchtower - Blowing a Trumpet for RNWT

by The Searcher in

self-praise is no praise, brooklyn!

however, having skimmed over this latest offering - which was neither researched nor written by the f.d.s., according to geoffrey jackson's sworn testimony in oz - here is my favourite statement: .

p. 26 par.

Here's just one example of such behaviour. Enough said.

by suavojr in

jw
friends

are you on the road to everlasting life?.

note to the speaker: help bible students and interested ones to understand why and how to make further spiritual progress..

emphasize the many sources of help available, and warmly encourage them to act without delay.

Diogenesister

Jesus emphasized the need for our beliefs to be based on truth [Read John 4:23, 24]

Like the apostle Paul, be willing to change your beliefs when presented with evidence (Ac 26:9-20)

JW Threatened me with Violence Today :)

by cofty in

i popped into the supermarket for a few things after work today and found myself walking up an aisle alongside a couple who used to be in my tuesday group.

i see them reasonably often and always say hello much to their obvious annoyance.

i noticed that ian was sporting a shaggy beard.

Diogenesister

Fight the good fight mate!( just maybe not literally?!!!!)😜

JW's Approach To Bible Interpretaion

by JW_Rogue in

it will come as no surprise to many here that the jw approach to interpreting the bible is greatly flawed.

the reason that it is so flawed is that before anything is examined there are already some false assumptions that are made.

jws believe the following about the bible without evidence:.

Diogenesister

Umbertoecco Apparently his phd is in COMPARATIVE religous/cultural studies. He has no qualifications in any of the bibles original languages ie Koine Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic etc and even he states that the 2013 editions insertion of Jehovah in the NT has no merit.

Evolutionists Who Are Against Darwinism

by Perry in

this is a nice list of evolutionary scientists and their quotes regarding the impossibility of naturalism or materialism being able to account for life as it is observed :.

evolutionists against darwinism.

most, while sympathetic and respectful of their more committed colleagues, are disparaged as morons for not carrying the materialism banner as a religion, as a matter of faith.

Diogenesister

There is of course my find friend the little point that evolution by natural selection is NOT a matter of faith, but loaded down with proof.

Proof of god, unfortunately, IS a matter of faith & any kind of proof has yet to be discovered
