  jw's now believe in the rapture.

  notice this curious doctrinal change in the controversial july 15th, 2013 watchtower: .

  one of the events mentioned in these verses is the gathering of the chosen ones.

  Making the Jehovah's Witnesses OWN THEIR OWN EVIL

  by Terry in

  drunkards often scape-goat responsibility onto their drinking--as though it were morally defensible to cause accidents or death!.

  serial drinking and driving is a plague on highways across the world.

  drunkeness has been labeled as a "disease" and it isn't unusual.

  It just amazes me that the WT and Witnesses want to talk about the origin of things like Halloween and Mother's Day but when you bring up the origins of the WT, that apparently doesn't matter.

  More evidence of fraud in 2nd Peter: Noah didn't preach, per Genesis 6

  by adamah in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  thanks for reading the 3-part series on the contradictory characterization of lot in genesis vs 2nd peter, analyzing genesis 19 and comparing it to 2nd peter 2. in the articles, i took a step-by-step approach to show how 2nd peter's declaring lot as "righteous" was exactly the opposite goal of the author of genesis, since the point of the story is how unrighteous lot was saved not due to his righteousness, but on behalf of his righteous uncle abraham (the star of the torah).. of course, the book of 2nd peter is widely acknowledged by nt scholars to be a fraudulent work, written under a pseudonymous (fake) name in order to 'patch up' some loose ends in the torah, likely to support then-blossoming doctines of christianity.

  of particular interest to ex-jws is that one intent was to support the duty to warn others of the coming end of days, including the jw's beloved scripture, matt 28:19, that justifies their preaching work: "go thereforth and make disciples...." the only support for the claim that noah preached before the flood is found in 2nd peter, so it's a dubious claim.. in the latest article, i examine the flood account in genesis 6, showing how god had already condemned mankind even before he offered the covenant agreement to noah, so there's absolutely no reason for noah to be a "preacher of righteousness", as 2nd peter claims, since god's judgment had already been passed, and death sentence had been handed down.. .

  my birthday isn't until the end of july but yesterday i got my first birthday gift in the mail.

  my best friend (stubborn disbeliever) sent me my gift early.

  i know what it is, but seeing it all wrapped up and knowing on my birthday i can open it...it really struck a cord with me.

  Atheism and the delusion of meaning

  by Laika in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the movie annie hall, written by woody allen, as a young boy, alvy's mother, takes him to see a doctor as he appears to be dealing with some kind of depression.

  when the doctor asks alvy what's up, alvy explains that he just found out the universe is expanding, everything will spread out and go cold and die, therefore nothing he does matters, so he is not going to do anything anymore.

  most people might see this as a joke, but i think woody is trying to make a serious point.. the point here is about meaning.

  What is delusional about accepting the world for what it really is? To me it is delusional to think there is some magical eternal paradise and if you are deemed good enough by some completely arbitrary standards, you too can live forever in it. That's delusion.

  Dating Sites

  by LouBelle in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i will admit that i have joined two a little while back just to see what kind of a response i would get.

  it is so difficult to meet new people in that: 1) work - there are now 4 men in all - 2 married old cronies and 2 younger guys that are just a no.

  2) i have a lot of gay friends so when we go shake our bom boms it's usually at a gay club - 99.9% of the men there are gay 3) friends of friends are usually involved.

  Here's a couple articles about the OKCupid dating site.

  The first one was sort of a study to see how online dating was different for me and for women as in regard to responses they received based on profile:

  Second one was a fake profile to see how low guys would go. It honestly makes me embarrassed to be a man.

  i once attended a two day special assembly with my gums bleeding after having 4 widom teeth pulled the day before.

  i managed the two days by rinsing out my mouth all day long and placing cotton in my mouth.. one brother had back surgery the week before but attended a two day assembly by laying on a matress in the back of the assembly hall.

  why he needed to be there i'll never understand!.

  the day finally comes.

  you get up one day with the nagging feeling that it's going to be different.

  you get dressed, get in the car, then notice how dark the weather's getting.

  Praise the lord he saved their chickens! Apparently the whole "time and unforeseen occurence" thing doesn't apply to those faithful chickens.

  Anyone else an Ex Bethel "volunteer"

  by BackseatDevil in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was wondering if there were any other ex-bethelites on here.

  i personally regularly went for temporary work at brooklyn then was assigned to the farm for a year and a half.

  it was... one of the most bizaare experiences of my life.. so i wrote it all down (finally, after some 15 years) so i won't bore anyone on here with the details of the story - because bethel doesn't show up until chapter 15... and for you straight folks, it gets a bit gay in two places... but nothing gross.
