  The curious case of Oliver Cromwell's head

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  just been reading a bit about oliver cromwell on wiki, plus i watched a documentary on youtube.. cromwell fought against king charles the first and the royalists in the 17th century.

  king charles lost the civil war and was beheaded in 1649. after this, england was without a monarch and cromwell became lord protector of the commonwealth.

  cromwell died in 1658 and was embalmed and buried in westminster abbey.

  why the watchtower is so short of money

  by pepperheart in

  2. bible

  the watchtower is so short of money because they have to pay for all the upkeep of so many branch offices around the world.because so many of the branch offices are in very poor countries and they are not balancing the budgets.

  I get the feeling they're amassing a huge nest-egg-dividend-paying fund that will firewall them from litigious abuse victims and what-not court cases.

  After the death of the GB 1.0'ers the strategy changes came fast and strong and it definitely feels like the goal post is on amassing as many assets as possible.

  Critique/Rebuttal of May 2018 Watchtower study article - "Know Your Enemy"

  by doubtfull1799 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  important note: i am not a theist and this is all meaningless of course from an atheist perspective, but this critique is written from a theistic perspective for those who are interested in picking apart jw theology or are still religious.

  if this is not you, please just ignore!.

  comments, additions, corrections to my crazy ramblings all welcome.

  Why witness about a name of God you know and admit is false ?

  Every Bible based name in English is not pronounced quite like it's original language version. That doesn't make them false. For example "Yehoshua" is our Jesus in English but Jesus in Spanish it's prnounced with an H sound, "hay-SOOS" and in English "DJEE-suhs".

  To say that Jehovah is a false rendering is incorrect.

  Zombie dubs

  by lastmanstanding in

  2. experiences

  i recently was on a job with the cobe and i would like to relate this experience.

  it goes to show how unthink these zombies have become.. during working, the cobe asks me “did you see that couple that died in the eritrean prison, the brother and his wife?”.

  i replied that i had not seen anything like that.

  It's very tricky of the WT to put headline of two elderly people that die in prison and then put a picture of the husband and wife underneath. It's almost like they know a lot of JW's won't read the article and the emotional hit of an elderly husband and wife dying in prison is a lot more powerful psychologically.

  It's shameful how dismissive they are when asked to back a belief with scriptures.

  Of course their immediate thought is to refer house-holders to literature on JW.0RG

  Back in the day everyone I went in service with, except for newbies or children, could maintain a good discussion going an use their memory or the Bible words and Topics referenced on the back of the Bible, (my fave was the bright green "Make sure of all things" book, though).

  If a house-holder had time we'd discuss for over an hour or even more, and if they were folks in the car, no big deal, it was easy time, and you could take a nap, then head to the coffee shop for a bathroom break and a snack.

  The things occurred and the generation passed away! Time to move on from secondary fulfillment to pragmatics.

  Do Circuit Overseers outrank Elders? Why can't they talk to disfellowshipped people?

  by garyneal in

  2. friends

  last sunday, our family went to the kingdom hall and i realized that this was the week that the circuit overseer was in town.

  when we sat down, i noticed he came over and talked to her then he walked away i guess to talk to others.

  a few minutes later, he returned to tell her that he could not talk to her because he was informed that she was disfelloshipped.
