The End of False Religion Is Near! HAHAHA

by tootired2care in

memories!

i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..

i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.

I'M GONNA DIE.

and

I will be pissed at the religion if this is all bullshit. Trying to control everyone through fear tactics.

what is the dumbest thing you've been reproved/chided/df'd for?

by rather be in hades in

i'm a big science nerd and i remember when we were going over the creator book, that the big bang doesn't necessarily prove there is no god.. i said this comment during book study and the conductor's jaw dropped.

everyone was pretty uncomfortable and it didn't help that he ct me off as i was explaining the red shift and mom wasn't too happy about all that.

i had to do a lot of bible research and write some nonsense about how the big bang was not reality or some sort...ugh.. .

Picking my ears. Mind you... I sat in the last row and this prideful arrogant elder wrote me a note not to do it. But then that guy would always put his head up while walking on the stage to give a talk at a meeting or a convention because he was all high and mighty in his warped head. At least he gave chocolate and candy after the meeting.

Survey: How Sure are you of Your Beliefs?

by simon17 in

i find it interesting to see, not just the state of people's beliefs, but how sure they are of them.

or asked another way, what is the percent chance people feel they are wrong about their current beliefs.

so state your current core beliefs about jws, christianity, god, and a percentage 0-100% of how sure you are that this belief is correct.

bottleofwater

JW's not 'God's' true organization: 98%

* Bible not inspired: 97%

* A personal god does not exist: 99%

* No god-like creator exists: 90% sure

Latest WT: "Refusing to appear before a JC is like refusing medical treatment"

by cedars in

in the latest october 15th 2012 watchtower (page 13).... "because of what they perceive as defects in the elders, some individuals who engage in serious wrongdoing in the congregation have refused to appear before a committee of elders assigned to help them.

this could be likened to a patient who loses out on the benefits of a treatment because he does not like something about the doctor.".

sounds like they're now trying to stigmatize those who try to avoid judical action.

Except the doctor has a gun and might use it.

Governing body member engaged... Again!

by OneDayillBeFree in

just found out that the australian governong body member known as geoffrey jackson got engaged to a sister about two weeks ago.

it really shocked me at first but then i remembered how other members of the gb have remarried in the past like daniel sidlik.

what made me say "woah" was hearing that the holy bride to be is really young!

She was impressed at his role in the Sparlock DVD.

The start of Armageddon

by Armageddon-Messenger in

hi everyone:.

i am armageddon messenger, the one that jesus said he would send to tell "you" the things coming.-john 16:12-14. .

as it should be expected, the governing body of jw's are not willing and will not accept me as a "prophet" because according to them, jehovah only communicates trough them.... .

Armageddon-Messenger : You have a PM.
