  Why is there a large cat in this picture?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i wonder if anyone can explain this.

  ezekiel 34:25 says .

  and i will make a covenant of peace with them, and i will rid the land of vicious wild beasts, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.. the land is said to be rid of vicious wild beasts, so why does the watchtower picture in the new pure worship book show a large predatory cat on the tree in this picture?

  most of us know what theocratic warfare means but maybe very few people reading this forum might never heard of theocratic warfare.

  can you give them some examples of theocratic warfare?

  Splane's "Apostate" talk transcript

  by FFGhost in

  2. friends

  for any who can't (like me) muster the masochism necessary to sit through an 18-or-so hour commentary on a 30 minute talk from a certain famous/infamous commentator, here is a link to a transcript from splane's saturday afternoon "apostate" talk:.

  there are many topics worthy of consideration, but this particular section really stood out to me:.

  Rocketman123 - "...well they should leave the matter in Jehovah's hands."

  To which I am sorely tempted to respond with...

  ..."didn't Jehovah use 'Satan's World' to bitch-slap his chosen nation of Israel when they got out of line and wouldn't straighten up?"

  Sit on your hands and leave the matter in His, and He's liable to go Old Testament on your ass.

  Don’t Trust the Courts! Splane’s Latest Anti-Apostate Talk

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  david splane’s talk “put up a hard fight for the faith” was that last talk presented on the saturday of the annual convention.

  this talk was to largely address apostates and restated ideas and arguments often presented before.

  however, this year, watchtower is spending more time in disqualifying negative findings originating from secular courts and here is the segment of interest here: .

  The Manipulation of Information - Watchtower article on the dangers of propaganda

  by defender of truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hatred is a strong emotion exploited by propagandists.

  loaded language is particularly effective in triggering it.

  there seems to be a nearly endless supply of nasty words that promote and exploit hatred toward particular racial, ethnic, or religious groups.. so the sly art of propaganda can paralyze thought, prevent clear thinking and discernment, and condition individuals to act en masse.

  I remember this.

  It's gotta be the most ironic thing they've ever published, on every conceivable level.

  ScenicViewer - "...double standard on Watchtower's part?"

  *snort*

  This should come as no surprise to any of us.

  The Org's raised double-standards to a fucking art form.

  Personally, I'm totally cool with the Bible.

  In fact, I'm a big fan of fantasy, horror, and graphic violence.

  Don't take my booze!

  by David.L.Henson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a direct confirmation that judge joseph rutherford, 2nd president of the watchtower organization, had a weak spot for good whisky, can be found in the following hilarious watch tower article.. the u.s. congress had passed the spirit prohibition law, and the judge was absolutely furious that these "servants of satan" tried to take his booze away.. the watch tower, which according to fred franz had jehovah as editor during these days, directly stated that christians could not "participate in" such a prohibition.

  in other words, they had to smuggle and drink booze to be loyal to god.

  the jws are unfortunately a much more boring sect these days.. the watchtower, november 1, 1924prohibition.

  Actually, I can kind of sympathize with Da Judge on this one.

  God damn anyone who spills my drink on purpose.
