  Watchtower Trolleys With Added Bling

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  my wife and i were in edinburgh on saturday (did a ghost tour) and around dusk we passed two trolleys on the high street — aka 'the royal mile' — that both had two rows of led lights under the little shelves.

  has anybody else seen this or is it a local innovation?

  i'm happy to report their pimped-up trolleys were attracting no attention as usual.

  Firstborn of all Creation - What does it refer too?

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jehovah's witnesses believe the title given to the lord jesus as 'firstborn' is in reference to himself being created.

  however as we study the scriptures we can see that it has a greater meaning than being created..

  So your not going to keep your promise to engage in actual dialogue then.

  Just for your info I have a really busy life. But it's late evening here in Northumberland and by the sound of your accent it's pretty late in weegieland too. I'm watching TV and working on a project on my laptop with this forum open in another tab.

  This video is a help to those who are still studying

  The way to help those who are studying with JWs is NOT to debate the minutiae of esoteric NT theology. Ex_Jws are in the best position to help potential JWs, not those who just want to replace one cult with the cult of fundamentalist evangelical christianity.

  Yeah we know — prototokos.

  You do know you are talking to EX-JW experts in the bible and Watchtower theology don't you?

  Last year you said — I am not here to "plug" my videos and run lol. I have interacted in this forum before, and do not have a problem interacting with others and discussing the scriptures... I will try and comment after the New Year on this website to keep active. It is good to discuss the scriptures, and I for one am not shy in doing so, therefore my reason to apologise publically. (sic)

  Despite requests in recent weeks for actual conversation it turns out you are nothing but a hit-and-run apologist.

  Believing Everything That You Hear

  you would think exjws would be on the lookout for anything said by people...the news media, politicians, actors that might sound suspicious or questionable.

  it seems like some people just will never learn how to be discerning..

  I think it's a problem with motivated reasoning.

  When people hear things that reinforce their beliefs they ask 'Can I believe this?' When it contradicts their worldview they ask 'Must I believe this?'

  If people invested the time to really understand why they do or do not support issues they would have less need to grasp fanciful excuses.

  Out of the mouths of PIMOs

  by dubstepped in

  new episode twenty five - daniel is a pimo jehovah's witness.

  pimo – \pee-moe\ noun – short for physically in, mentally out, a person held captive to the cult of jehovah’s witnesses because although they are awake, to let others know would cost them everything they’ve ever known.

  they stay in physically to keep spouses, family, friends, the only social structure that they’ve ever been allowed to have.

  Long format is the real value of online media. If some people have the attention span of goldfish too bad.

  asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

  everybody says there is this race problem.

  everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

  But that is not the same as having no regard.

  If you're content to see Brits become a minority in the UK then you have no regard for the preservation of British culture.

  Multiculturalism is a failed project. Even those who advocated it have recognised their foolishness. So yes I too want to preserve a UK where the majority is white-British. Not because I dislike people of other races but because I think British culture is worth something despite all our obvious flaws.

  By the way - looting during the blitz does nothing to undermine the courage, determination, community spirit and sheer bloody-mindedness of the vast majority of that generation of Brits. They were not 'just out for themselves'. It's a bit sad that you would disparage one of the greatest examples of the British spirit.

  Bottom line is you have no regard for British culture and that is why you reacted negatively to comments that opposed mass immigration.

  Your dislike of British culture is masquerading as a virtue.
