The Time Is Coming For Progressive Governments To Make Laws Against Oppressive Cults To Protect It's Citizens, Making Lawsuits More Plentiful Against Them

by frankiespeakin in

i think as black&white thinking becomes lesser governments will start makeing laws that will put cults open for more lawsuits.

what do you think..

The watchtower does not deprive people of speaking with their parents or children. The watchtower does not deprive children of blood transfusions. The watchtower does not hold a gun to anyones head. Thats what totalitarian goverments like china and north korea do to their people. The watchtower is not some obscure clandestine headless agency "making people" do things they dont want to do. As much as people hate hearing "corporations are people" it is a true statement. Its the same way with cults. Cults are people. Weak minded people but people nontheless.

In a free society you cannot remove cults (christianity, islam etc...) I agree with many here, take away tax exempt status, give children needed medical care but people are free to no receive care if they dont want it.

The solution to all cults is open discussion & debate. Logic and reason will win out in the long run.

Malaysian flight crash in Ukraine VS Flight 93 in Pennsylvania

by EndofMysteries in

i wonder if anybody else has wondered about the differences between those 2 flights?

in the malaysian flight that crashed from 30,000 feet high, tons of wreckage, body parts, bodies, documents, etc, all over the place.

yet in the pa flight 93, just a crater in the ground, no bodies, everything supposedly vaporized.

I think it was the late Hitchens who said something to the effect of (I am quotting loosely here) "The smartest president in the history the the United States could not hide getting a blowjob in the Whitehouse but the dumbest president in history could hide & cover up arguably the greatest terrorist attack against us in four different locations"

And besides.... Steel doesnt melt... there is no way the bldgs were not rigged with explosives!! (sarcasm finished)

Women elders, what difference would they make?

by Freedom77 in

jw
friends

okay, let's do a big what-if: suppose the gb for its own unfathomable reasons suddenly got new light (tm) and decided to start appointing women elders and ministerial servants.

they would, of course, refer to the examples of junia (apostle), and priscilla and phoebe (deaconesses in wordlyspeak) in the greek scriptures; never mind what mental somersaults it would take to get them there.

stranger things have happened in wt history.. that being the case, would having women in positions of real authority make any significant difference in the congos or in the borg as a whole, and why or why not?.

Hey Focus.........

You could post that every day and I would not tire of it....

Prediction: The organization to ease up on disfellowshipping for apostasy.

by kneehighmiah in

jw
friends

i believe the organization is already easing up on disfellowshipping people for apostasy.

they know most doubters just want to be left alone.

disfellowshipping them turns them into martyrs.

pbrow

What they need to do is go back to the 1946?? Watchtower that equates excommunication w/ paganism. I believe if they would just stop with harsh stance on disfellowshipping / dissassociation that they would not lose as many people as they and others on this board think they would lose. You would be free to question but free to worship how you choose. They would certainly have to back track on other items as well but they could become more like the catholic church. People could have their crazy beliefs and eat them too.

found it...... 47 watchtower....

"Are you a progressive thinker"

by Pistoff in

this was the theme of a talk at this week's 2nd weekly meeting with the co.. .

if you are a progressive thinker, so went the reasoning, you will accept all of the adjustments coming from the 'faithful and discreet slave'.. .

this so hurt my head when wife told me about it; really?.

pbrow

Lets say your father was really into fucking goats...... Well you moved away when you found out your dad was a goat fucker just to get away from him. Good for you. Now the authorities set up a sting operation with some really hot goats... your dad fell for it... i mean he really went to town, but when the authorities broke down the hotel door your dad managed tewe barely escape. Now the authorities track YOU down and have YOU in custody and are going to imprison YOU for 20 years because of your dad being a prolific goat fucker.

Well that isnt right!! You dont like goats.... maybe you fed a few at the petting zoo when you were a kid (do you remember now that you were always losing your dad there???) but you are not into animals, after all you are a respected sheep farmer! It doesnt matter, you have to pay for the sins of your father because of the fucked up system that you live in. Just the way it is. Thats how your god wants it... the sins of the father are payed for by the son.

Doesnt that sound effed up?? Being a part of a human sacrifice cult that thinks that one human being can sacrifice for the sins of another sounds just as effed up to me.

Harris..

Yes, technically all religions are cults. The jw's just go one step further and are a mind control cult.

From what I read you are part of a human sacrifice cult. You are part of a cult that thinks it is somehow moral for one man to pay for the sins of another. Its not that much better than plain old vanilla cult like organized religion but you are still in a cult.

This is the exact reason why the wife says the dubs have an excellent marketing department. Just when you think things cant get any wierder you have dubs running around calling themselves progressive thinkers!
