  I loathe authority

  by punkofnice in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  now i'm not preaching hatred here i am just expressing how i've felt for years even when i was a jw.. i totally loathe the police/policticians...any authority......anyone that is over anyone else.

  i have a total hatred of them all.

  i wonder if it's because i was raised a jw?.

  Early Christianity and the Punishment of Back-sliders

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from the writings of tertullian comes this picture of repentant sinners around the year 200 ce in north africa.. locate yourselves in the stream of time.

  accepting for the moment the conventional dating for christianity, this is a little more than 150 years after christian communities were first established.

  no one from the first century is still alive, but possibly there were grandsons and daughters of some of the original christians.. .

  Tertullion? Wasn't he the guy that beleived in Greek philosophies, and the Trinity? Polycarpe didn't beleive in the Trinity, and he is the guy that approved the Greek scriptures into the Bible Canon. Paul was right when he stated that the congregation was about to be influenced by Oppresive wolves.

  2014 Annual Meeting not being streamed worldwide?

  by Richard_I in

  2. friends

  i haven't heard a peep about the 2014 annual meeting being shown worldwide (or at least across north america) like it was last year.

  they made a big deal with the am last year, congs had to get the projectors and screens for the showing, and we were told in advance of the time and location to attend.

  but i have heard absolutely nothing this year, at least here in canada.

  Don't want to give the story away, but, it's about, a family gets forced out of India. They are in the Indian cuisine business. The young man in the family has a gift and is a great chef. They end up in France and compete with another french restaurant. Within the story is racial prejudice that turns out positive. Oprah, and Spielberg directed it

  Skinny dipping in the new order?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower

  the jw's are quick to tell you that when jehovah has finished kicking the ass of those who do not acknowledge the teachings of the watchtowers governing body in new york state, that those who survive will live forever in a restored paradise on earth.

  the same goes for those who are resurrected during the 1000 year reign of jesus and survive satan being let loose "for a little while" at the end.. they are also quick to tell you that everything will be just as it was for adam and eve before the latter decided she needed a fruit fix and then got her hubby high on it as well.. and when you view the illustrations in their publications showing what they view this paradise to be, it shows a world of lush color.

  the deep greens of all the trees and grass, the clean blue skies, puffy white clouds and tables covered in a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables representing just about every major color.

  According to rule 118, in the new scroll, spoiler edition, it says, "Everyone must strip off thier clothes". But rule # 119 says, " You must appoint, Chaperones from the four courners of the earth".

  Are we starting to treat DF people differently?

  by Quarterback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some may remember the time when the private study edition of the wt wasn't to be made available to outsiders, and the df'd.. now, with the recent boe letter, sept 1, 2014, it specifically states that jw.org is making the km available even for df'd individuals.. do you sense a new trend developing?.

  "We", could mean WT society, or members in good or semi good, or bad standing.

  1. social

  just observing this family in our congregation.

  the parents are in the faith, and active.

  the children, are grown-up, but viciously opposed.

  Wow, Finkelstein. That is really extreme. Sorry for hearing about that harsh treatment.
