  Funniest insults

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. humour

  so, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.

  literal meaning: bury yourself.

  "go and bury yourself".

  They're a bit hard of thinking.

  Watchtower Study on 5th December.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt study for this week is all about disfellowshipping.

  in an early paragraph it said "think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!".

  however when you think about it, when this happened according to the wt teaching, jehovah still engaged with satan in the heavens (book of job) and had conversations with him about what was going on in the earth.. so why do the wt org practice shunning when jehovah god obviously didn't?.

  The WTBT$ are duplicitous lying scum. Look what was written...

  Awake! January 8th 1947, disfellowshipping has pagan origins:
  Where, then, did this practice originate? The Encyclopaedia Britannica says that papal excommunication is not without pagan influence, "and its variations cannot be adequately explained unless account be taken of several non-Christian analogues of excommunication." The superstitious Greeks believed that when an excommunicated person died the Devil entered the body, and therefore, "in order to prevent it, the relatives of the deceased cut his body in pieces and boil them in wine." Even the Druids had a method of expelling those who lost faith in their religious superstitions. It was therefore after Catholicism adopted its pagan practices, A.D. 325, that this new chapter in religious excommunication was written.

  Liberals really are so stupid

  so the liberals and their useful idiots, want to ban guns but then do the dumbest crap like letting rioters go and just glad handing criminals.

  now crime is being helped along by the left and people are afraid the police can not protect them and the public's desire for gun control is at an all time low.

  they the liberals are dumb as dog shit.

  I don't feel qualified to speak for America, being a Brit and never being to America.

  stop pretending that the UK is a bed of roses, there is rampant knife crime in some areas.

  The UK is not paradise. We have been enjoying 'cultural enrichment' and much illegal immigration.

  Most places are getting quite 'stabby' now...unless you're in the rich or middle class areas where our politicians live. That's why they don't care. They would if their areas got 'enriched' and stabby.

  My guess is he'll get o0ff because he's a box ticker and part of the 'diversity and inclusion' boo hooers.

  "Think how heartbroken Jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!"

  "Think how heartbroken an abused child must have been when members of his own congregation and religion turned their back on them!"

  GB still protecting sexual predators. How can anything they say have any merit? SCUM!

  Disfellowship-arrangement of JWs is not from God, but from uninspired writers.

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  1) jesus set the absolute standard on how to deal with the disagreeable or even with those becoming inimical in matthew/5/43-48.

  there he said: ‘don’t behave like pagans who love/greet only those loving/greeting them.

  but be like our heavenly father who loves everyone without differentiating whether one is friendly or inimical towards him.’ this is his eternal standard.

  I'm not sure I actually understand the question.

  However, the WBT$ will never apologise for anything.

  Where was Jehovah(tm) here? Tea break? Smoko? The khazi?

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillelid_murders

  The Watchtower won't mention this.

  the Lillelid family, who were returning from a religious convention.

  What Wiki has now edited out (hmmmm, wonder why?), is that they were coming back from a JW convention.

  Did you at one time Believe-that you were not going to die. Does your still in JW spouse still believe?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this magazine says it all!.

  and many of the older jws believed at one point in their life that they would make it through the great tribulation and into the 1000 year reign of christ without dying.

  which is why so many jws stayed in so long.. is the main reason why jws ignore all the child abuse, the end of door to door service, and the closing of kingdom hall for almost two years----because they still believe they will not die?.

  Is Bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding the prelude to the great tribulation?

  by Disillusioned JW in

  is bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding a prelude to the great tribulation?.

  full disclosure: i still don't believe in the bible's claims about the existence of the supernatural, even of jehovah god (i'm an atheist and a scientific/philosophical naturalist), but i am asking this question because recent events are starting to seem (to me) to fit well the description of some prophecies in the bible.

  consider the following.. several hours ago (on 11-26-2021) as i was about to enter a local fred meyer store of my city (in suburb or small city in the metro area of a large city) a person i know told me that a moment earlier a person left the store in a hurry with a cart load up with unpaid merchandise (i think i was told it was groceries but i don't remember that for sure).

  doing what the WT/JW religion have been doing for the past 145 years or so looking for signs ?

  It seems 'believers' look for signs in their own lifetime and have done for 100s of years.

  that was me once.

  Nothing has happened...and I don't believe for one moment it ever will.

  It's smacks of desperation that some bigger force will make your life better.
