  Bangalore - "Looks like even some loyal JW's are waking up."

  There have always been loyal JWs "waking up".

  How else do you think so many of us ended up here?

  Heaven - "And then there's the logic whereby Armageddon is supposed to come when no one expects it. But there are at least 7 million people on the Earth today expecting it... so it isn't going to be arriving."

  Heeeeeey...

  *ahem*

  I hereby expect armageddon to come every single day from now to the end of time.

  There.

  By the logic Heaven posted above, the Big A is now indefinately postponed.

  You're welcome, everyone.

  Do you call your father by his legal name? Should we for God?

  by trujw in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jw's make much of calling god jehovah as if somehow this makes them better than us.

  do we call our mother's by their legal name?

  if you do or do not does that make the other less a son or daughter of god?.

  About as much as I call the Queen of England "Victoria", or the President of the US "Barack".

  How to handle it when a JW gives you "counsel" about some stupid crap

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a catch-22 that can trip you up at the local kingdom hall.. .

  if you receive "counsel" from an elder about any behavior at all and you "resist" or question the counsel you can be accused of having a "spirit of rebellion".. .

  so, you have to either shut up and comply (with even the most ludicrous and ill-founded suggestions) or answer back and be chastised and "marked".. .

  There's definately one (ex-)elder I remember who'd be damn near apoplectic about this conversation.

  I picture him with the big vein in the middle of his forehead throbbing as he forced a smile...

  Satanus - "No no, vidiot. Those are valid points."

  Damn it; talking out of my ass is so much fun, though!

  Satanus - "Robert king focuses his big brain on a nit."

  Wait, wouldn't that make him a "nit... wit"?

  did you know there are only 6 magic tricks in all the world?

  yes, only six.. all illusion, prestidigitation, legerdemain and sleight-of-hand combined merely juggle these six elements.. briefly, they are:.

  yadda yadda 2 - "This is so sacrosanct to JW's and so much a part of their identity that even otherwise very intelligent but bizarre hybrid ex-JW's like Robert King who scathes the Watchtower for most of its other errors still defends this inordinate Watchtower emphasis on the divine name."

  Just had a funny thought...

  Nobody'd ever even consider addressing the Queen of England as "Victoria"; she's to be called "Your Majesty", no ifs, ands, or buts.

  Or President Obama; nobody'd ever think of calling him "Barack" for the exact same reason (hell, even Fox News calls him "President").

  Yet the (alleged) sovereign of the Universe is expected to be addressed by His personal name in almost every aspect?

  I'm starting to think maybe the ancient Jews had a pretty solid argument for discontinuing the regular use of the tetragrammaton (from their POV, anyway).

  Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass, again.
