  by LostGeneration in

  very weird article, you can read it here if you can tolerate such nonsense:.

  http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/.

  basically teddy was a super, duper spiritual giant who went undercover behind the iron curtain, sorta james bond like.

  By “evolution,” we mean “macroevolution”—apes turning into humans, for example.

  august 2015 awake .

  quote in title taken from article footnote.. anyone have information on who gene hwang and yan-der hsuuw in the article are?.

  why do they repeatedly state that apes turned to humans when that's not what evolutionists teach at all?.

  Google leads me to a Dr. Gene Hwang in New Buffalo, MI here:

  Probably a JW they pulled out of the woodwork to quote in their "scientific" article.

  What is true love?

  by hoser in

  2. friends

  i just watched the video what is true love.

  first of all it is painfully long.

  secondly there is an uncanny resemblance with megan(the one who married out of the truth) to the girl in the jeremiah book who married out of the truth.

  Nerds in the real world at least have interests, are smart, usually hook up with another nerd in due time.

  JW nerds are the most painful beings to be around. They usually suffer from some of the worst social anxiety. Its virtually impossible to have more than a three minute conversation with them without wanting to shoot yourself in the head.

  my local cong just donated all money (4k +) on deposit with you know who to, you know who.

  "since the society forgave all kingdom hall loans the boe felt it only appropriate to forgive the society of our loan to them.

  " is exactly how it was presented to the r&f.

  607 B.C. controversy

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm not sure the whole 607 b.c.e.

  controversy is really that major of a deal.. even if the society admits it and changes it, that's only a difference of 20-21 years, so the governing body could just shift 1914 to 1934-1935 and say that world war ii and hitler was the beginning of the signs.. a much bigger issue is why they even say daniel's tree prophecy has an antitypical fulfillment, especially after their new light on types and antitypes..

  Oh and the WTS still lags way, way down there on page three of the results for "2520 years"

  One would think the Almighty Jah could at least place his Chosen Organization's explanation of such an important prophecy at the top of Google's search results!!

  The interesting thing about 2,520 years is that the WTS is just one of many nutjob religions that use silly biblical numerology. Once again, the WTS proves it is in no way "unique" when compared to all other religions.

  Google it here, and see how many charlatans use this stuff to deceive their followers:

  If you don't want a divorce, stop discussing doctrine with your JW immediately.

  Stop now.

  I've read a few of your threads, probably not all of them, but enough to get a feel for your wife. You are not dealing with a rational person. You will never, ever win an "argument" over doctrine with a JW.

  Stop now. You have to either find another way, or accept life with your JW as it is.

  "Foot in the Door", or "Apathy with a Cart"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we have all noticed this and commented in other threads.... but isn't it interesting that in times past, witnesses earned a reputation of being so determined to share "the kingdom message" that they would put their foot in the door at a house to keep the conversation going!.

  now, the apathy and lack of effort in service; particularly with the literature carts shows the complete opposite!

  yet...the end is supposed to be even closer right?

  Somewhere along the line the focus switched from "studies" and "placements" to "hours". Of course hours were always part of the equation, but now they make up 90% of the focus of most JWs.

  So you get this environment permeated by apathy. Nothing else matters except punching the time clock. Especially for those oh-so-special JWs, the pioneers, its all about counting the hours as they crawl on by.

  Its truly pathetic no matter how you look at it.

  Sounds like you want a divorce.

  I wouldn't count on Jesus doing much, at least that's what I was trying initially when I woke up. I guess he was out to lunch that year.
