How about a CAPCHA test for ANY new post?

by Nathan Natas in

maybe it would be possible to turn the capcha test off for a user after they have "survived" ten posts without being thrown into gehenna?.

there must be some days it seems like a thankless pain-in-the-ass, but you are rendering a truly life-saving service.. love ya, dude, (and dude-harad and all the little dudettes) in an appropriate and totally manly way!.

- your idiot fellow traveller..

my 2 cents

by SloppyMcFloppy in

all religion is flawed because its led by man.

jw is not bad religon if it changed some of its doctrines and thoughts.

if it didnt "shun" members and "worldly people.

Diogenesister

Sloppy I nearly got into Catholacism too..

But I am a believer in harm reduction and I think not all religons are cults, so if the JW got rid of their high control tactics..disfellowshipping etc & left much to the practioner's own conscience etc yes I would not have a problem with it.

As it is I think it is dangerous

Governing Body Member Geoffrey Jackson's Empathy For Survivors Of Child Abuse Hypocritical

by Brokeback Watchtower in

so says the royal commission.

which we all can agree.

his expressed sympathy is a hollow sham and it is the same way with all the governing body's expressions of love and concern for all loyal member captured by their organization into servitude.

eyeuse2beadub you don't know how right you are...,,he literally does not care because...

If you have been a victim of abuse you have not waited on Jehovah & bourne your load

If you have not bourne your load without complaint you have not followed the rules

if you have not followed the rules you are not a witness

if you are not a witness you are worthless and of no account

John-1-1-Colossians-1-16-all-other-things - Part 2

by Wonderment in

continued from part 1 (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5097191899136000/john-1-1-colossians-1-16-all-other-things):.

the nw translation and some of its unique renderings, like john 1.1- "a god," and colossians 1.16 - "all other things," have been consistently at the top of the most debated topics here in this forum and elsewhere from the beginning.

the anger felt by detractors of the nwt rendering of john 1.1 (a god) has diminished considerably if compared to the furious debates surrounding the verse that raged on during the 1950 thru 1970s.

Diogenesister

Isn't there some controversy around Jason BeDuhn & the NWT.

For a start I believe his Phd is in 'comparative religon'- ie he has no expertise in Biblical greek or indeed any of the bible languages, correct me if I'm wrong please?

Shunning ? did JEHOVAH shun Satan ?

by smiddy in

i don`t know if this has been addressed before , however it appears there is an inconsistency and a big one at that with the practice of shunning with jw`s.

elders / ministerial servants look out for the spiritual health of the congregation , and if they see something they feel is detrimental to the spiritual health of the congregation they are going to act to rectify it, .

they take appropiate action where they think is necessary .

Diogenesister

Hmmm...it seems to me that Jehovah got his orders, or "new light" from Rartherfraud himself and refined his understanding...giving Satan his marching orders in 1919

I am glad you brought this up Smiddy, how come Adam & Eve (nevermind their innocent kids) - yet to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and bad, in other words innocent of wrong and right - were punished more harshly than the primary malefactor Satan , unless of course it was not satan and only a snake as it actually says

Where is the justice in that?

I shall write a strongly worded letter to my MP, the Queen, the Pope and the GB forthwith

Finally heard a Dub defend overlapping generations

by Socrateswannabe in

since the overlapping generations doctrine was introduced, i have found the jws i know to be uncharacteristically silent on the subject.

i can't remember hearing a single dub try to defend this idiocy.

but that all ended recently.

Diogenesister

I know this is really petty, but I absolutely hate the way Splane says the word "food"....spiritual foooooood. YUK

Do you know any JW who has ever done this?

by Esse quam videri in

jesus had much to say about the kind of giving his followers should practice.

for example, the following:matt 6:3 '...but when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing...'.

matt 10:8 '... freely you have received; freely give...'.

Diogenesister

Mathew 10.18 they will say they freely had a (cult) bible study so they freely give (cult) bible studies...other than that absolutely not, tight wads mostly

If you really want to help 21st century lepers' your bum homeless crack heads are the one's, self hating and hated, shunned and abused by family 9 times out of 10 or with underlying mental health problems...noone in the western world is so vulnerable to suicide & a miserable lonely death or violence
