By doing this, they scare the sheep into staying in the fold, no matter how abusive things get. Those who leave either want to go have crazy gay midget sex, or as you mention have mental problems.

Either way, dissent is muffled and many never, ever consider leaving the fold.

Watchtower Legal Department targeting Facebook and Youtube users

by Londo111 in

from an email i received of a conversation had with people from patterson:.

it seems that the wts legal dept.

has been working with the fb [facebook] legal dept for about a year and also with youtube whoever they are, to enforce transparency.

FB has been enforcing real identity for some time, mainly to protect their advertising revenue.

YouTube is owned by Google, and as we can tell you can use any user name that you want.

The idea that they want elduhs trolling throught FB accounts reviewing apostate information is laughable, the first and most dangerous problem is that they will start to think! Can the WT afford to have 20-30% of their unpaid management team quit? No way.

Obedience is conditional!

by BU2B in

i was just pondering on this matter.

jws pride themselves on being loyal and obedient to the gb "even when it makes no sense from a human standpoint".

what they fail to realize is that obedience is conditional.

LostGeneration

The Kings in Israeal point was one I brought up to my JW father years ago, I basically made the point that the GB had usurped the position reserved for Jesus.

It didn't go well. The GB/Organization/jw.org is their golden calf.

Is this desperation or common? What have you seen?

by Wasanelder Once in

a "sister" i know is in her late 80's.

her friend was 90 and on her deathbed.

(just a week ago.

The few i had dealings with years ago just wanted to go to sleep and wake up in the paradise.

What would it matter at that age? Personally I'd just want the pain and suffering to go away, not have to live throught the so-called Great Tribulation.

I guess Jesus advice to 'stop judging' doesn't apply in God's Organization.

q. why do people need all these mags and books?.

a. to understand the bible.. reasoning: asked her to read 1 john 2:27. also matt 28:19,20. what info leads to baptism?

teaching whose instruction?

LostGeneration

Reasoning with them on scriptures is an ok place to start from.

Calling them a cult and going to the subliminal images makes you look like an idiot.

A few questions for believers

by keyser soze in

when confronted with all of the inconsistencies and atrocities of the bible, many believers invariably claim that they don't base their faith in christ on what's written in the bible.

so what is the basis then, if not scripture?.

and please don't tell me "the lord has revealed himself to me".

When God did command for some people to be killed, it was for justice purpose.

Like all of the children killed at Noah's flood? Or the kids killed by the bear for making fun of a bald guy? Yeah, thats Godlike justice for you.

Or how about all of the women and children killed in Numbers 31? Simply because not enough of them were killed before capture?

Not buying it.

first, message received, i get it.

these guys are way out there and full of themselves.

LostGeneration

The writing style of the letters to these clowns is all same. Its simply a way to recruit people out of the WT cult into their own little version of Christianity.

I don't care, any enemy of my enemy is my friend. Once they told the story of several hundred partaking at the Meh-morial in Nevada I knew they were master bullshitters. But if they can get people to free their mind in any way I don't care how many lies they tell on their shitty website.

Jack Ma and the Alibaba story-China's first International Billionaire

by fulltimestudent in

this is a cut and paste for australia's canberra times, my only comment is to remark on the ordinariness of his rise from a chinese perspective.. i could likely post a thousand stories of people like jack ma, growing up in relative poverty, and now- through hard work and an eye for an opportunity- extremely rich.

ma's story is the story of nearly all of them.

it's part of what makes the story of china's rise so fascinating.

Thanks for that, nice to read about the man behind the company.

Been following the IPO for a few months, will be interesting to see where the company opens tomorrow, I'll guess around $95 a share.
