  The stupid dems are tying to push BS in the infrastructure bill, who would have thought it.

  so i was listing to the news and in the infrastructure bill there is a part that will tax you on how many miles you drive.

  this is above the state and federal gas tax.

  so now they will control and monitor your millage and tax you on it.

  Someone has to pay for the roads. My issue with pay by the mile is how do they enforce it if people don’t want to play the game? There will always be some hack to override the odometer and where I drive is none of big brothers business.

  i didn’t hear any about me, my dad was there to squash any of that.

  but, a guy who left on his 18th birthday, moved cross country, had the rumor started (by elders), that he was now in prison for selling cocaine.

  lol, he’s an artist in california.

  They can’t have success stories of those that leave. It doesn’t fit their narrative.

  i'm half listening in on my wife's zoom meeting.

  in my decade+ in the org, i don't remember ever getting into such minutia about jw hunting rules.. apparently, it's ok to kill an animal to use its skin as a clothing accessory, but it's not ok to kill an animal to use its antlers as a wall decoration.. not mentioned in the talk: whether or not its ok to kill an animal to wear its antlers as a hat.. .

  This must have been on the local needs part. Sister “Karen” was offended when she was snooping in a jws basement and threatened to cut off her COBE husband until he did something about it.

  after listening to the zoom meetings the past two weeks, i started to wonder, what is the real purpose for such short comments.

  policy for 5 or more years now.

  supposedly, it is so more can comment.

  You seem to be comfortable showing your photo on Instagram. If you are an active jw this might be risky for you.

  Sitting through the zoom convention is punishing. I’d be willing to bet that lots skip out.

  Which WT book (or booklet) has illustrations of prehistoric animals?

  by Disillusioned JW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember that i once saw a wt book (or maybe a booklet) which in depicting one or two of the creative days of genesis had illustrations depicting now extinct prehistoric animals.

  which publication was that?

  i think the illustrations were of a 1950s or 1960s style.. update: i found it.

  Didn’t the green bible have a picture of a dinosaur on the inside of the cover?

  I like trying to count how many times the person saying the final prayer uses the word “Jehovah “.

  WT Using Symbolic Interpretation to Twist Scriptures

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  does anyone know of examples where the watchtower used symbolic interpretation to twist the plain meaning of scripture?the only one that comes to my mind right now is in rev.

  "then i heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of israel".. .

  here, the wt would have us believe that the number of those sealed are literally 144k; but supposedly "israel" symbolically represents anointed jw's.

  All religions are pretty much the same. They have an agenda and twist the words in their holy book to fit their preconceived ideas.

  I thought commenting in your own words was a sign of spirituality.

  STUDY ARTICLE When a Loved One Leaves Jehovah

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2021. study article 39. when a loved one leaves jehovah.

  2 think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!

  (jude 6) and imagine how hurt he was at seeing his beloved people, the israelites, rebel against him time and again.

  We had an elder who gave that talk in the circuit. Eventually all of his kids left the religion.
