It's funny (in the sad way) how you see it so clearly when you wake up. We all sat thru these sort of meetings where it just doesnt quite sit right, but couldnt connect the dots...
Let's review: It's a cult!
this cult is getting really shameless.
the wt study was always supposed to be for discussion of 'the deep truths' of the bible.
the wt may have always been filled with utter nonsense, but at least it had the appearance of a topical discussion of bible doctrine.

Let's review: It's a cult!
it wasn't my preferred method of leaving but at least i'm as far as i can be from this cult.
over 2 years ago i've tried to fade out but i guess i did it too drastically.
i live in nyc so the entire territory is walkable and everybody in the congregation live pretty close by.
Congrats, now get on with living again, here, now, none of that future blessings bullshit.
me i try my best but my spelling is bad and some times i get missunerstood...any funny exsperiences?.

True dat and very well put. This site has taught me shed fulls of stuff that i didnt even know i didnt know. I would very likely still be a JW drone if it wasnt for this place.

It's the green legs and one squiffy eye that does it.
I dont have the patience to type out long responses very often, so they tend to be short and to the point, and that makes me sound blunt and grumpy. I usually am when the fundie cult drones turn up here spouting their drivel like we havent all heard it 100 times before.
it is widely known that the roman army was the disgusting thing in the 1st century.
examine the statements below: 1. the dt was within the 1st century governing body in jerusalem.
take a look at the picture of apostles and elders in the "insight" book.
This is just another cult recruitment drive, move on nothing to see here.
weekday afternoons: a soap opera featuring judicial committees, demon possessions, and wives clamoring to be the ones who host the circuit overseer's lunch.
saturday mornings: sparlock cartoon.
friday evenings: reality show featuring jw dating.
BidUp TV selling JW.orgy trinkets to the cult masses...
is there something to this?
or is it nothing?.
.
I would guess it is just a turn of phrase for a door to door campaign and nothing more.
However if you dig into the bodies mentioned and the paper trail does indeed lead to WTBTS then it would be "something more".

i guess science really is blowing up the bible, awesome!.
They used waterproof paint of course!
as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.
(genesis 2:17).
jws interpret this tree as the symbol knowledge of good and bad, right of god to set standards for us; hence eating of it means snatching gods right to rule over usthus self-rule means ruination and death, and conversely gods rule means blessings and eternal life.. this interpretation has some intrinsic problems!.
You need to get out more.
from ancient accounts hostile to christinity, we can learn the following:.
jesus was born and lived in palestine.
he was born, supposedly, to a virgin and had an earthly father who was a carpenter.
Thanks guys, I couldnt formulate a reasoned answer when I read the OP, I just knew it was pap.
I am constantly amazed at how the believing brain appears to function.
