Nearly Killing My Mother Wasn't Enough !

by cookiemaster in

as some of you might have read last week, my mother had extremely low hemoglobin and without it, she would have died.

i have somehow managed to bring her to reason and accept the transfusion.

it saved her life.

I urge you to write to the hospital authority, your MP (or congressman in the US)and your local paper. The more people that know about this sick behaviour the more pressure is brought to bare on the org.

That is the reason that things like the Royal Commission in OZ happened & the investigation by the charity commission in the UK, the word is out the wtbts is a CULT

The origin of the name and masthead illustration of The Watchtower

by Gorbatchov in

thanks to the great "watchtower history" blog with historical information about the pre- and early bible students years, i became today aware of the origine of the name the watchtower and the masthead illustration in front of the old magazines.. in c.t.

russell's younger days, his mother and other relatives died and were buried on the family plot at the allegheny cemetery.. it must have been a defining moment voor the young ctr.

look at his inspiration to choose the name and masthead of his magazine.

Wow, so is the watchtower the place to be stationed when the big R happens??(r for res erection that is)

"Breaker...breaker ..one nine over got your ears on Russel"

"10 4 10 4 good buddy over."

"We got a convoy....we got us a reserection convoy over"

"10 4 10 4 this is Russel over you see mama bear up at the tower, the minuite you see her i'll send up the meat wagon, she'll be in a hell of a state shes been brown bread for over 100 years over"

10 4 ....They all look like a micheal jackson extras..I would not recognize mrs russell over"l

Acts of God & accidents

by Diogenesister in

exodus 21.12 whoever strikes a person mortally shall be put to death.

then i will appoint for you a place to which the killer may flee.

so i had a discussion with my mother about this, and she claims that because of this that: "we are surely living in the last days right now" while i must admit myself that the situation seem chaotic, i don't want to believe that it is the last days.

so question is, how do i face an opinion like that?

Village idiot The Bubonic/Pneumonic plague pandemics of the 14th century killed 1/4 of the population throughout Eurasia in the first sweep. There were four other pandemics in a 100 year period. I mention this example not merely because of its large numbers but because of the large percentage of the population affected.

Yes if you want utter human misery the 14 th century takes the biscuit, mass graves, agonizing death & all easily cured with a dose of antibiotics!!!

Which century would you like to live in ?would be my reply to your mum!

Give Jehovah Only 6 Months!

by naazira in

jw
friends

main question: what do you think would happen if jehovah's witnesses stayed away from the watchtower organization for 6 months?

instead of "us" staying in their world for 6 months.

personally, i think they would be like the amish youth on rumspringa- many to never return.. i came across a thread here, where the poster said that their parents told them to give jehovah's org 6 months.

Diogenesister

Give me a study for six months, we will use Richard Dawkins 'The God delusion'& The Greatest Show on Earth & JW Facts.com with exerpts of the Australian Royal Commission into child abuse and if they are still believers I will eat my barrell!!!

Acts of God & accidents

Exodus 21.12 Whoever strikes a person mortally shall be put to death. If it was not premeditated, but came about by an act of God? then I will appoint for you a place to which the killer may flee. But if someone wilfully attacks and kills another by treachery, you shall take the killer from my altar for execution.

Why would God, who is/has dictated these laws to moses, call an accident "an act of God". Is that to say that all unfortunate events, accidents & tragedies are CAUSED by an ACT definition:noun

1.

a thing done; a deed.

"a criminal act"

deed, action, gesture, feat, exploit,move, performance, undertaking,manoeuvre, stunt, operation,venture, effort, enterprise,achievement, accomplishment

"a life filled with acts of kindness"

Therefore God has taken positive steps when you wrestle with your friend over the TV remote for him to fall down the stairs & break his neck

What a horrible thought, I thought he didn't interfere in human affairs????

This was OBVIOUSLY writen by a 3 rd party

Imagining what laws god would give.

The JW get over these horrible Exodus slave laws

by saying the people were too hard hearted then.

But I am not having that. So a few hundred years later they were ready

for the love in Christianity? I thought people stayed the same

& didnt evolve?Its one thing for Direct Line insurance to

call things "acts of God", its quite another for GOD TO CALL

THINGS ACTS OF GOD!

I feel trapped...I might return to the Borg....

by JustHuman14 in

i have being thinking quite a while before posting.

actually i haven't post for quite a long in the forum and i guess i'm one of the old ones, since i became member since 2001.. after leaving the borg for almost 16 years and disfellowshiped 10 years ago.

you can see my relevant post:.

Necessary family business Justhuman 14??? Is not illness considered such? I understand your Dad is a co, but what about mum or siblings?

Whatever you do please read Steve Hassans "combatting mind control".

Make a decision after reading that so you have the tools to deal with whatever you have to face. It may help to seek a therapist too....that way if you do go back (and then cite illness as a reason to fade) you will have somewhere to sound off!

Ray Franz was an Idiot

by vinman in

ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.

i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?

in search of christian freedom?

Steve2 For the record, I am an athiest who cannot quite divest himself of the allure of a stronger being who promises all will be fine. But I recognise the contradiction and accept that my need for consolation is not a sound basis for belief.

OhSteve2 " you took the words right out of my mouth"as MEATLOAF sang once! I am an athiest for Jesus!Only this morning zo was crying that I miss Jesus!!To my kids too!!
