  3rdGen It's obvious to me that the lawyers want to remove as much liability as possible for the Borg. If nobody is a member how can the borg be sued for what an individual chooses to do (or not do) on his own? This is yet another way to distance themselves from having to pay settlements.

  I agree. In another thread I said I think the confusion over the following - Governing Body’s 2009 statement that as The Slave they are appointed over\responsible for Jesus’ “valuable things” In the form of Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls and Warwick etc

  Yet at the same time not appointed Over/responsible for ‘the domestics’ until Jesus Antony Morris drama Queen return in the form of Armageddon - is just the Watchtower lawyers talking

  a month ago it might have been questionable.

  not now.

  after bader’s death and biden’s inability, this shouldn’t be close.

  Silent Buddha He has a looking history of making ridiculously racist stereotypes and then doubling down on them as well as introducing a crime bill that he knew would disproportionately impact minorities.

  oh god yes Biden is embarrassing when it comes to race. Something I’ve never heard Trump do.

  Yawn."Trump said", wah! wah!

  Have you noticed no one cares apart from you sad bunch that pretend you care because you think it's damaging?

  Oh come on Simon, if someone on the left made the statement about grabbing a woman’s punaani you’d be disgusted with them. Listen I actually think he’s kinda funny most of the time and god knows he’s eternally optimistic 🤣I don’t have any real interest in American politics since, quite frankly, I don’t understand it. But I really do think NO other politician would get away with saying what he does. In particular that comment.

  I mean we humans judge someone on what they say, that’s just the way of the world. What do you expect?!

  • Waton afterthought: that is why the lady in the empty fridge picture has that expensive coiffure, all the time.

    
    
  • Funny I've always focused in on that hairdo!! That's definitely a lady who goes to the stylist on the regular! However you can get hairdresser to visit you at home which brings down costs considerably.

  Hey I've just realised youre Philshi Delishi or something!

  I've been enjoying your videos. I know it sounds strange but my beloved brother passed away on 8th Sept from pancreatic cancer. He suffered horribly and I loved him so much. Listening to you kinda soothed me late at night when I can't sleep. It allows me to switch off for five minuites as I go over everything again and again since I'm being shunned and everything is majorly complicated in my family.....so much bad feeling it hurts.

  Anyway .....just thought I would let you know. It's weird but there you go. It's kind of the sound of your voice and manner.

  Why Jehovah`s Witnesses are wrong emphasising the name Jehovah.

  by smiddy3 in

  hi friends, feel free to correct me where i`m wrong with this post.after all it`s just my observation of jw`s and the bible.. in the beginning of gods dealings with adam it was on a personal level , god to man so to speak.. god then dealt with humans via the patriarchs , then with the levi priesthood ,then judges ,( and a woman was a judge ) then kings ,somewhere in between all of this prophets played a major part ,and then came jesus christ the messiah.. and to my knowledge god has not validated a successor to him with any evidence i`ve seen .. jehovah`s witnesses claim to be christians but have with no new testament backing usurped jesus with jehovah.. this period of time ,until god says otherwise ,christians are to give honour and glory to none other than jesus christ .. that is the name that is above any other name until god says otherwise.

  phil.2:9-11. not the name jehovah .the bible never says anything about a kingdom of jehovah ,the coming kingdom is the kingdom of jesus christ with his associate 144,000 earthly subjects.. this is just my understanding of what the bible actually says .. whether i believe it or not is another matter..

  Watchtower doesn’t even understand....that scripture was not intended to commend the widow, but to condemn the religious leaders....the fat cats at the top!!!

  Jehovah’s witnesses...does that not ring a bell with you?!!

  Luke 20:45 “Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, 47 who devour widows houses’, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

  i'm a uc berkeley student researching the effects of disaffiliation from the jehovah's witnesses.

  i'm not ex-jw but i am ex-mormon and as your cousin i can sympathize with the struggles we face when we question/leave the religion.. i currently have a survey open which closes on sunday the 20th at 11pm.. if you meet the criteria i encourage you to take the 20-30 minute survey.

  -be at least 18 years old-born/raised jw (born in or family converted when you were minor)-"left" at least 6 months ago (left=inactive and questioning/non-believing).

  Yes my neighbour stroked my cat the other day - I think it's a scam.

  what on earth would anyone have to gain from answering a survey on your feelings on disassiciation from a cult?

  The Power Of Unconditional Love

  by 1234 in

  1. jw

  5 years ago

  the most powerful love in the universe is unconditional love.. a love that has no requirements or conditions.

  no actions are necessary to receive it.. this love is all around us and can be easily seen.

  watch any mother with its new born baby.

  Parental love is unconditional love,

  You see I disagree that parental love in unconditional.

  It could be argued that parental love is predisposed by genetic programming, that it's just an evolutionary process in action.

  You could argue that real love is one whereby you have nothing to gain on any level. Romantic love certainly doesn't count in that respect and neither would parental love.

  When you send money to a hungry stranger, is that unconditional? In a way not really, because even then you have something to gain - a feeling of wellbeing.

  So doesn't all love have some kind of condition attached to it, at least for us as humans? Perhaps there's a species somewhere in the universe that has trully unconditional love.

  Perhaps it's doing your duty, as Kant described. Perhaps that is love.

  Vandy can you send me a link to the video you posted? I think it’s been taken down.

  Researchers into Fred Franz early life discovered he didnt even sit the exams for the Rhodes Scholarship (I imagine he would have been competing with many others throughout the whole USA!! So I don’t know what his chances were).

  He completed just two semesters of undergraduate studies. None of which were in Hebrew. Fred Franz was a liar in my opinion. It seems to come with the territory of being a JW leader. I simply don’t believe a person with a truly exceptional intellect would fall for Russell’s gobble-de-gook.
