  Confusing messages at DC

  2. experiences

  okay i know everyone has probably already attended the dc and have posted their experiences here, but i just went to fri. and sat.

  session (with a drama although timely for families i thought would never end) and a couple of bizarre things stood out.. very poor attempt at explaining the overlapping gen. new light.

  during the brother's talk he said" there are two phases to the overlapping generations".

  They don't REALLY want JWs to pay down their credit cards so they can "simplify their lives" and do more service. They want the cards paid down so they can DONATE MORE to the BORG HQ. They'll do the service anyway, whether they're broke or wealthy, because the motivator for it is fear and guilt.

  As for the overlapping thing, nobody can really explain it well because it makes NO SENSE.

  Were you there Sunday for "the toes" of Daniel's image? Talk about a debacle!

  Would you go back if you thought there were one in a million chances you were wrong?

  often i wake up in a cold sweat wondering if i'm wrong.

  life is short.

  i have only a brief time to make a decision.

  If there was a one in a million chance that I'm wrong and the Borg was right, I'd be right back in there.

  But there isn't. I don't know everything. I don't even know a lot. But I know this: The Borg is wrong. They are wrong doctrinally and they are wrong in how they treat their fellow human beings. What they do should be criminal. Some day I hope it will be.

  J-Winos - I Commend Mad Sweeney

  i think you have coined an excellent term that could be used with great benefit in attacking the organization.

  'jehovah's witnesses in name only'.

  this arrogant bunch need their organization-god exposed as the fraud that it is.

  Thank you, Mad Sweeney

  in the course of studying the many falsehoods of jws, the subject of logical fallacies has come to my attention a number of times.

  i largely ignored it as something in my opinion "too dry" to dive inito.. boy, was i wrong.. mad sweeney posted a link to a website explaining a number of fallacies in plain language (often with religious examples; wonder why .

  once i started reading upon it, the wts use (or violation) of just about every fallacy from the list jumped at me as visible and distinct as black against orange.. thank you, mad for unknowingly giving me my new interest in the theory of logic and reasoning and further debunking the wts bs.. for the curious, here it is: http://www.logicalfallacies.info/.

  Exposing the WT Affair with the UN - 9/11/11 Call to Action!

  by Timothy Riches in

  although many ex-jehovah's witnesses know about the watchtower's secret 10 year affair with the united nations, the vast majority of jehovah's witnesses do not know.

  on sunday september 11, 2011, we plan to let them know about it!

  there was never a formal disclosure to jehovah's witnesses at meetings or in wt literature or letters telling the jw's about the affair.

  I hate forgetting the compatibility button.

  A friend in SC got permission from the property owner directly across from the KH parking lot entrance/exit to put up signs. Perfect location.

  As mentioned, there is NO REFORMATION that makes the lies true.
