  THE ABSOLUTE WORST CONGREGATION EVER

  by You Know in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  to put things in perspective in relation to the pathetic and sordid trivial gossip of those whom i affectionately call: the phallic-worshipping accursed children of the apostasy, by far the worst, most problem-filled congregation that has ever existed, anywhere, anytime, was the corinthian congregation.

  you name the problem---they had it.

  you want shocking salacious sexual scandal?

  You Know

  If an uninformed person were to read that post they would be unable to understand who exactly you were talking about.

  You use terms like:

  CO, DO, Minesterial servent, Feild service...

  None of these terms mean anything to a non-JW.

  Havent you ever realized that most non-JW dont even know what your good news is?

  My point is that the JWs are relatively unimportant... geesh there only 6Million + of them.

  Contrary to popular Witness belief:

  We do not seek to persecute you;
  You are not the centre of the universe;
  You practically never come up in a conversation;

  Hardly anthing to do wit JWs is of importance.

  Back then I really doubt that a first centry Christian would have even used the word Jehovah farless call themselves Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Sorry to burst your bubble, but nobody cares about JWs unless they have been affected by them. Me for example... I wouldent know squiddely diddley about JWs if i hadent gotten involved with one.

  As for the post: It was ok. At least youve managed to be honest for a change. But as usual you had to throw in the bit about the evil slave and apostates drivel that really had nothing to do with anything.

  You see back then Christians were worried about cults much as they are today. Have you ever heard of the Gnostics and the Judiazers? I bet you have. So therefore you should know that they were some of the first Christial cults and cults arent anything new. But because cults always claim exclusivisity for God you have to make yourself out to be the best thing since slice bread. [To coin a polular phrase]

  Anyways...

  Why do you continue on this apostate bashing parade?

  Youre pratically an apostate yourself already so whats the deal?

  IS THE WATCHTOWER A FALSE PROPHET?

  by You Know in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when jesus was on earth the devil approached him quoting scripture in order to tempt and entrap him.

  it is no wonder then that the apostate angel would be behind the effort to use the scriptures against jehovahs people today in order to mislead them.

  one of the most cunning and effective uses of scripture against us by satans agents is the charge that we are false prophets.

  This thread shurely does possess much entertainment value.

  Its nice to be able to releave the stress with a good laugh.

  I wonder if Hilda and MK have been here as posters before?

  Who knows...Mabe theyre even apostates trying playing a prank. After all it isnt that hard to emulate the behavior pattern of a JW apologist.

  Francois:

  I'm not exactly concerned with what she thinks right now [if I were i'd tie my head in a knot trying to make sense out of anything] but I would be bothered if she lost her entertainment value, she's truly hilarious.

  Will You Miss This History Making Event?

  by silentlambs in

  will you miss this history making event?

  as many of you may know in recent weeks wt has moved to silence victims and advocates by disfellowshipping those who have spoken out on child molestation within the organization.

  spokesman for jehovahs witnesses have made allegations that are untruthful, from saying that they had no idea who was appearing on dateline, stating that it has been established policy that child molesters work only in twos in the door to door ministry, to stating the judicial meetings were over other sins against god.

  JWs and the Pavlov experiments. [Train your dog]

  by jerome in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some of you may have heard of experiments where a russian sicentis by the name pavlov was able to train some of his dogs to drool at the sight of a light bulb flashing or at the tune of a door bell ringing.. he did it by combining something that happens naturally [the dog drooling at sight of food] with something that normally dosent produce a responce [door bell ring and flashing light bulb] and then removing the food from the whole senario only after the drooling and a ringing door bell/flashing light bulb became intertwined in the dogs mind over time.. normally when a dog sees food it drools.

  the sight of food is a natural stumlus and it therefore produces a naturall responce.

  it helps the digestive process of the dog.. when a dog sees a light bulb flashing you wouldent expect it to drool now, would you?

  I like that word 'subjective'

  Definition: Exhisting only in the mind.

  [source dictionary.com]

  (It cannot be described as actual)

  I'm gonna kill the use of that word.

  Hilda... it seems that your argument is patently subjective.

  JW apologist need to become more objective in their reasoning rather than subjective.

  Your statement with regards to the prophetic speculation of the Watchtower Society is clearly subjective.

  I know that thecnically its not exactly the samething [comparing conditioning of dogs to that of people] but I have managed to point out the similarities. In both circumstances you can introduce your own buttons and then push them at will.

  I never heard of inductive reasoning before but from your post I gather that when you form an opinion utilizing subjective data your opinion may be in error.
  [Am I close?] - I also had to look up the word subjective

  What youre saying makes alot of sense though.

  [sarcastic]
  But I dident get the part where you said that if you had two dimes ($0.10) then you have a quarter ($0.25).

  I'm sorry bub your a nickel ($0.05) short.
  [/sarcastic]
  

  ... even if all the premises are true it is NEVER a certainty when you use inductive reasoning.

  You make perfect sense in saying that in going from Watchtower speaks(A), its Gods counsel(B).

  How did we get from (A) to (B)?

  Before you even get stsrted we already have a logic error.

  That was a great post, I wish I could write like that.
