An amazing show to have generated the amount of LOL moments it has. And this thread contains just a minute fraction of them.

Godspeed, little doodle.

Sydlik's Prayer and Sunday's NYC Convention

by Mister Biggs in

for saturday's coverage, click here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=31702&site=3.

sunday:.

walk to bus (10 blocks or so).

The analogy is a classic "begging the question" fallacy. The premise of the analogy is that the Org is like a diamond. In fact as City Fan showed, the question is not "Are this diamond's flaws really important". The real question is: is this thing a diamond or just petrified shit?

Monthly Complaint

by comforter in

jw

the watchtower has said that those who deviate from the faith only seek to pull down and do not try to build up.

they have no positive teachings.

only negative ones.

julien

You seem to read the Bible with a pick and choose attitude. If a teaching taste good to your palate, you keep it. But otherwise you chuck it.

What a riot. This statement coming from a representative of a religion that has selected about 200 scriptures from the entire bible upon which to construct their dogma.

Next we have a real beauty. JWs take the verse "Abstain from blood" and parrot it like some kind of magic phrase which somehow embodies the strange and complex JW blood doctrine. (Fraction X forbidden but fraction Y is OK?? who decides this???)

So called apostates say the verse must be read in context, taking into consideration the intended audience and purpose. JWs will have none of that, shiftily sidestepping this argument in much the same way as comforter here, with things like "I refuse to be distracted from the real issue". Yet the same JWs will then turn around and say something like this:

The verse must be read in its historical context and compared with what other scriptures say. If you do a little research, you will find that back in first century Asia Minor, women often tried to exaggerate their beauty by braiding their hair in extravagant ways and wearing excessive jewelry for the bling bling effect. Early Christians thought this way of life was wrong and jws do too. We apply 1 Timothy 2.

See they can't very well forbid women from wearning nice clothes or jewelry, so like comforter they have to finally look at context to find some way out.

Pathetic.

Latest WT Encourages You to Question Your Religion

by stevieb1 in

jw
friends

as long as your not a jw already that is!!!!!!.

that being said the august 15, 2002 edition of the watchtower carries the cover article "to whom should you be loyal?

" which contains several experiences of ones who gave up their old religion and despite much opposition became jehovah's witnesses.

julien

They are trying to taunt apostates with this article. They are saying "HA see how much control we have over what the R&F think! we can print information that SAYS ONE THING, but IMPLIES ANOTHER. And the R&F understand only the implied meaning."
