What actually DID you learn?

by punkofnice in

my jw friends that still speak to me, tell me that they love the meetings because of the things they learn.. i wonder what they think they're learning?

it an avenue that always perplexes me because their replies are just so wishy washy or i get a blank stare when i ask.. what's you r experience?.

I learnt about the nasty side of human nature from some particularly unpleasant bible characters.

Any other subjects they touched on where at such a superficial level I have forgotten it all.

Your thoughts on the new Star Wars?

by Coded Logic in

so i've thought for a while now that jj has the lowest bar to clear in cinema history.

all he has to do is make a movie that's not as bad as the prequels.

but upon viewing the recent trailers, it looks like he's actually got the "feel" of the originals down.

so many serious topics lately ... so for anyone who wants a break, it's trivia time and the subject is pop music.. which act is the only one to have a top 100 hit both before, during and after the beatles had theirs?.

no googling.

if you guess, you also need to add a trivia question for others to answer..

Revised NWT...cross references...Has anyone noticed....?

by 4thgen in

just let me say, i hate the gray bible.

when i read the revision of mal 3:10 and they included tithing, i almost vomited.

recently though, my invalid mother asked me to read to her and the only thing available was the gray bible.

But we all have a soul that is eternal, which was made in the image of our eternal creator. The Watchtower doesn't like this fact either because it begs the question of WHERE that soul will spend eternity.

Perry, I just wondered what your take on animals is? It's just that anyone who has been close to another species knows that they feel, smile, lie, love etc just like humans - what applies to one must apply to the other surely?

So sorry about your mum by the way🌹

Oh, and Freddie Franz says, "Thanks an effing bunch!"

by rory-ks in

the faithful and discreet slave are free to look back now and make a mockery of whatever beliefs were previously held by jehovah's witnesses.. they are also free to make types and anti-types of some parts of scripture, and not of others.

they do that thing where they focus on one part so as to distract from the fact that they are doing the exact same thing with another part.. for example, in his talk featuring the new understanding of the "man with the secretary's inkhorn," geoffrey jackson goes on to say:.

we know in recent years we've been careful not to try and make types and anti-types of every aspect of what the bible says.

How confident are you about various so called facts?

by slimboyfat in

no facts about the world are absolutely certain.

that being the case i wonder how others would rank amd rate their confidence in various factual statements about the world.

i am going to rate my confidence in ten items of "knowledge" as a percentage.

CrazySaintBertie Megalodon...oh yeah! Spend hours with my kids looking up all things megalodon.

Your megalodon dream Kind of reminds me of the Harry Potter film where Ron Weasley meets ARAGOG the giant spider in the Forbidden Forrest. Ron kind of asks like u did "are you gonna eat me?" and Aragog gives her word she won't ' but cannot promise her many CHILDREN will turn down this easy bit of FRESH MEAT!!!
