  An exJW for Prez?!! Peace, for Prince!

  by Spartacus II - The Equalizer in

  it appears there is about a million voting age jws in the us right now.

  it appears there is 8 million ex jws or in the shadows.. if those 8 million would have the guts to come out for a presidential candidate to come out, we can finally end the slavery, tyranny and corruption in this and many other circles.. cowards die many times but a hero only dies once.

  and cowards die in revelation.. so, to you reading this, are you a coward or a true steward of the earth and creation?.

  Let me get this straight, I have to promise to support you and then you will reveal yourself and your personal information?

  Could you, at the very least, reveal something that we don't already know?

  why isn't the boston globe doing a better job covering this group?.

  after all, the movie spotlight won an oscar about this paper and their groundbreaking journalism into the catholic church covering child abuse.

  You're right Smiddy, we should be more active in making our voices heard.

  Don't believe anyone is up there listening - said a prayer anyway out of sense of obligation

  i've read many statements on this forum from people who have expressed the sentiment that you don't shove ttatt down the throat of an older person.

  it would be too traumatic and its best to let some people, in some situations, simply pass on in the delusion.. its humane.

  merciful.. in the initial roar of my awakening, i was unable to cuddle up to that sentiment; preferring, instead, to shove the blood curdling shock of truth down the throat of anyone i could get my grip on... age be dammed.

  The identity of "The Faithful and Discreet Slave", solved - I think.

  by Island Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  “who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  - matthew 24:45. let's be honest, the faithful and discreet slave logically cannot refer to any and every christian.

  this is not merely an encouragement for all christians to prove themselves faithful and discreet.

  Thanks for your discussion IslandMan. This explanation falls much more in harmony with all three versions of the parable in Matthew, Mark and Luke.

  That is a really weird article. The question asking what makes JWs different to other Christians is disturbing.

  They are so desperate to make their numbers look better that they have to resort to using kids, shame on them.

  You seem to be in the know sp74bb.
  
  I wonder how willing JWs will be to donate when they realize that a lot of their money is being used to pay worldly big, money making business instead of supporting the work through JW volunteers.
  
  Let me guess, with their monthly/bi monthly magazine order, they can include a few cartons of toilet paper and light bulbs.

  Mark Sanderson Talk re Belgium visit

  by Listener in

  the degradation of the governing body members continues on.

  mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.

  in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.

  George One Time - I don't know if it's on the JW org website or not but I can't find it.
  
  I think most of us are shocked at the in-sensitiveness of it and there has to be one or two JW bigwigs that would see it that way too, although it hasn't stopped them from taking down a lot of Tony Morris' rants.
