Re Hostage victims killed in Sydney: "dont worry, at least they will NOW get a ressurection"
by stuckinarut2 inso most would now know of the vile act in sydney last week where a man held hostage over 17 people in the lindt cafe in the middle of sydney.. two people were murdered...a beautiful, educated lawyer,loving mother of three, and a brave, loving young man working as the cafe manager.. this senseless and cruel act has touched everyone deeply, especially in the communities of sydney.
the outpouring of grief and support for the victims and their families has been immense.. i was therefore outraged to have the following comment made by a witness in conversation at the kingdom hall:.
"well, we dont need to be sad, because at least now they (the two victims) will get a ressurection.

If there views on death/resurrection/paradise were in fact true................I have one question:
Why not go around gunning people down...... at least they get a resurrection, right? Field service doesn't guarantee it.....but just going around bombing places would.
These people have no brain.

Ever notice how JW's can attend a talk or Convention and remember nothing?
by Wasanelder Once inhow many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!
yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?
and conventions weren't far off either.

LOL....this might be my favorite thread of the year.
I've spent my entire life wondering HOW they can go to a meeting, day's of assembly's, etc......and come away with NOTHING!
They don't listen...... they don't care......the vast majority couldn't spell the word BIBLE
It's honestly embarrassing.

Jehovah's Witnesses--- A Religion About Nothing
by minimus inthey say that seinfeld was a tv program about nothing.
in the end, it was all silliness.. this religion is inconsequential in the big scheme of things.
it's stupid.. .

I would agree about the fairy tale beliefs.
However, this 'religion' has led to people's deaths. It is evil on every level.

New requirement to become an Elder or Ministerial Servant!
by hardtobeme init has been a few months since i hear this from an elder.
he said that the c/o told them this new requirement.. "men that wanna be an elder or ministerial servant has to go out to field service on sundays.
if there is an elder or ministerial servant that is not going out to field service on sunday can lose the priviledge".

I conducted the Book Study in that book SIX times.....it was so ridiculous, that even then, totally indoctrinated, I would start laughing reading the question.....the group would laugh with me.
Every book on Revelation by this 'organization' is a study in comedy......

suicide and wts funeral rules
by diamondiiz ini just found out that a husband of an old friend committed a suicide and i was wondering if there are any letters to elders or any wts rules concerning funerals for those who committed suicide.
i've looked in the elders book and letters to boe index and didn't find anything.
some posts here say they can have the funeral at the kh and some here said they couldn't hold it there because suicide was involved.

A very nice, young elder just killed himself in Oregon. Hung himself. Tragic.

US Zone visit: disappointing, depressing, discouraging
by sir82 ini will have plenty of "snark" to post later on, but please indulge me while i get this out of my system..... suppose you are the leaders...yes, the leaders...there are only 7 of you...for the one true religion in all the universe.. jehovah the god of the whole universe speaks to you, you alone, out of 7 billion+ people on teh planet.. you have an opportunity, thanks to the advancements in technology, to speak to 750,000 of your followers "live", and another 750,000 or so within 24 hours.. 1.5 million people!
hanging on your every word!.
this is the first time in history you can simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, address so many of your adherents.. what message are you going to present for this special occasion?.

It's true - Religion rots your brain!
by Coded Logic inthe more religious a person is, the more likely they are to suffer from hippocampal atrophy.
i guess a lifetime of cognitive dissonance can really take its toll.. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3adoi%2f10.1371%2fjournal.pone.0017006#pone-0017006-t002.
(early symptoms of hippocampal atrophy can include difficulty recalling the recent past and disorientation.
