  Printing presses, bye... bye...

  by sp74bb in

  bye... bye.... no more new printing presses for jw.org... the growth is so tremendous (irony...).. all printing work in europe will be arrange in the next month only in selters (germany), but no renovation or upgrading in printing presses is expected... it will be a full outsourcing :).

  a worldly company axel s******* will be used.

  this company is known to be printing bild newspaper... the interesting part of it is the logistics will be as well outsourced.

  How sad it is to see that Jehovah's hand is to short to continue supporting the printing in his own house and by his holy people...

  Sin Inherited Humankind

  by looter in

  so jws believe all humans have faults, problems, birth pangs, etc., because we all inherited sin from the original human being adam.

  like i would like this to make since but why would jehovah do this to future humans who have done nothing wrong at all?

  i think of it like if a parent has one child and that child really disobeyed her before then when the parent has a second child, she punishes that child because of what her first did.

  So how did it happen? What caused Adam and Eve to feel ashamed they were naked when that's all they knew? There was only the two of them...Can we attribute the first clothing items to them? Was there something in the fruit that activated the aging process of their perfect body or did God put on a timer? What about the tree of life, how would it undo the consequencesconsequences of the inimaginable act of rebellion of eating a fruit? Doesn't all this sound absolutely ridiculous - how could I have ever believed all of it is beyond me.

  What will visitors be shown when touring Bethel? The basketball courts and swimming pool?

  today my wife showed me the new medical directive and power of attorney form she got at the meeting.

  surprisingly she asked if i wanted to fill mine!

  i have been inactive for 6 years and i don't go close to any jw gatherings because i don't want friends who only care for me unless i share their beliefs.

  My wife occasionally jokes about her carnivorous appetite which is a hint for me to grill a couple of juicy steaks on the barbecue. Although the bovine has been bled, we all know that every trace of blood hasn't been flushed out of the meat. But I won't even attempt to bring this up. Thanks Vanderhoven for reminding me the illustration about abstaining from meat shouldn't prevent you from accepting a kidney transplant.

  i heard today about a former jw/now apostate who is dying in hospital.

  this information was accompanied by the comment of "wouldn't be awful to be lying there in hospital,dying as an apostate!

  If I had stayed the "truth" I would have only existed, but now that I have left I'm truly living. How sad it is to hear JWs say the "real life" is still to come while they are wasting the only life there is.

  three days ago, we could read about a great new book on wt doctrinal changes here: .

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6217992945795072/ever-changing-teachings-jehovahs-witnesses-probably-most-comprehensive-compendium-about-watchtower-doctrinal-changes.

  this book is not the only one in its kind, but it truly kicks ass!

  Were there heavenly forces involved in the destruction of Jerusalem - same forces used at Armageddon as stated in the WT quote? I always thought it was the Roman army...

  How to wind up a JW

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  tell him that jesus probably didn't get married or it would have mentioned it in the bible, but at the same time we can't be 100% sure he didn't get married because it doesn't specifically say he didn't get married.

  stand back watch fireworks.. i thought it was a pretty reasonable thing to say.

  pop.

  I get the reasoning: if Jesus was married it would certainly be written in the scriptures, so because it isn't mentioned we can assume that he remained single; or: if the scriptures do not mention that Jesus was single we can assume that he was married. Both assumptions have the same merrit...they are both ASSUMPTIONS.

  That's exactly what I said but instead of understanding that you no longer can claim that you are abstaining from blood if you accept fractions, she said that she will not accept fractions anyways...so problem solved. So instead of questioning the change in policy she instead avoids any form of critical thinking by sticking to the strictest application of the JW rule.

  CTRWTF...like my wife you missed the point...so I'll try this: doctor says to abstain from ethanol...meaning you can't drink it nor inject it in your body...does it mean you can't fuel your car with gasoline containing ethanol? In theory with JW you wouldn't be allowed to like you shouldn't use plywood bonded with glue containing animal blood.

  Thanks for your comment. I like my position as an inactive JW because most of my close family are very involved in the cult and I can still have some kind of relationship with them. If you read my story you will find out that I bought a house where I can have my unbaptized son, his JW wife and grandchildren under my roof so I can technically interact with them if one day I am banished by the group. I already told the elders to leave me alone when they came to my house unannounced 2 years after I stopped going to the meetings. So I refrain from telling them off for these reasons and I want to leave on my own terms.
