I heard this nugget a while ago at a meeting. Brilliant.
Whats the most ridiculous illustration or reasoning you've heard lately. I need a laugh.
if the wtbts is so wonderfully preparing us for armagedon, why arent they even attempting instruction on physical survival or self defense?
wether you believe in the 'elites' plan of a one world government/new world order or not, you have to admit that jws would be the ideal people to corral and imprison.
jws are trained to be easy to spot, unresistant, passive and almost eager for persecution.
agonus,
Im in the ward cuz I love the demeaning and intrusive group meetings, reminds me of my youth.
Sorry to repeat your thread Im still kinda new. I agree with you totally. There's no indepth discussion of anything. "Just rely on us, uh, I mean Jehovah."

With some supposed links between the organization and nefarious groups (Freemasons, UN) one might wonder if this isnt a coincidence. Whats your views? Comments from the self assured and paranoid welcome.
i really love a good western.
the remake of true grit by the coen brothers (fargo, o' brother where art thou?, etc.
) was a pleasant surprise.
Coens version is a beautiful film. I know im gonna offend some people, but I think John Wayne was a horrible. I think he was more of an icon than an actor. The first TG was entertaining, but the Coens and Bridges are on top of their game right now. Its almost unfair to compare. The rest the cast was amazing as well.

growing up in the fifties and sixties, stories of demonic possession were prevalant in the watchtower and awake.
i was terrified.
we were told they would bother you if you were faithful, but also if you fell away.
a theory,
we can all agree that there are creatures beyond our physical, vibrational and energetic realm that must exist. Also, when you add our limited knowledge and psychological experiences to the mix, our opinions are limited and weak at best. We dont know shit. By all means we should discuss ideas. But thats all they are. Ideas.
a couple years ago i wouldnt have even fathomed the idea of joining a forum like this.
just want to say that i appreciate the free flow of ideas, and the open mindedness of most members and the intolerance of suppressed and unsupported ideologies of jw's and anti-jw's as well.
keep the logic flowing!.

forgive me if this has been touched on many times before.. i was wondering if anyone has actually written the society requesting their response/justifications to the many discrepencies and flaws in their doctrine and history, such as failed/altered dates and prophesies, pyramidology, beth sarim, lack of transparency, economic and political ties to the world, how they no more than archeologists, biblical contradictions, etc, etc..... if so, what was their response?.
Paladin,
Did they give cite or provide any valid evidence of their claim?
