  Judgment Day

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a specific “day,” or period, when particular groups, nations, or mankind in general are called to account by god.

  .

  “i solemnly charge you before god and christ jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,”- 2 tim 4:1. seems like sins are not paid by dying or the ransom if there is a judgment in-spite of it.

  Judgment Day

  Pure fiction. It's not coming. Nothing will happen. How old are the writings that are used for this?

  People are wasting their time on being Bible (or some other 'holy' writing. Pick your poison), 'intellectuals' with constant study over something wishful through rosy coloured glasses.

  Judgement day would have come before now. It seems each generation (overlapping or not), thinks 'it' is coming in their life-time. Oh, my. Oh, my. How sad.

  There's life out there. Stop wasting time on made up stuff.

  Believe what you want, though. In my opinion, it's a massive waste of time.

  I wouldn't say I don't 'respect' the Bible as such, I just don't think it is inspired by a God or Gods. There's ome good and awful stuff in it.

  However, I have the old family Bible passed down to me which is a very old KJV. That's my fave.

  Had to laugh.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.

  and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".

  " i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.

  I need help putting together an outline (list of ideas or script) so I can talk to the congregation elders. And maybe I can make them reason, or ridiculously defend the inconsistencies of the Watchtower.

  That is a bad idea.

  The Elders will not see reason. They will get you shunned you without hesitation.

  Elders will not listen to anything that is negative about their cult.

  If you can just fade away, that is better.
  

  I would like to leave things in a way where you remember that the honesty of seeing things is more important than blind faith.

  I admire your honesty. However, the JWs will not. They will shun you, tell lies about you and feel that they are superior to you. They will not listen to anything that does not come from Watchtower. They will think that you speak for Satan.

  BEWARE!

  JW Obession with the trinity

  by Riley in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so a few years i watched a lecture series by a man named dr. micheal heiser called the two powers in heaven, jesus in the old testament.

  funny thing was it wasn't even very evangelical in nature, so i turned off my religious binders and just watched it like a regular person.

  it turns out that the new testament is a hinge point in the bible.

  I was of the impression that the Jobots had invented their own idea of what the churches teach about the 'Trinity' and used that as a sort of straw man argument to slag off Christians.

  You know how the Jobots are.......full of their own importance and pomp. Always ready to shout about why they are superior rather than engage in honest discussions. If they think that being pious and sanctimonious will get converts and money for TOMO3 to remain perpetually drunk, they have another thing coming.

  Humpy - Why do you assume that particular story about women reporting sexual harassment is a fake narrative?

  Er. I don't. I didn't mean to give that impression. Although I do a good impression of Clint Eastwood. However, when it comes from the Grauniad or the Beeb, I have to doubt that any truth within it hasn't been wildly distorted or corrupted. Usually for an agenda or 'the current thing'.

  
  

  Would you be more inclined to believe the accusations if you heard Lloyd Evans was now working in Antarctica?

  To be honest, Humpy. I am very sceptical of all I'm told after believing WBT$ crap growing up. As some random African geezer, Ola Tungi, mentioned once. there is truth, and everybody is trying to pull it to their side but it's still standing in the middle of them.

  I'm really not interested in Oydd Levans or his 'celebrity' status and shenanigans. It doesn't help me in my day to day life. I'm totally disinterested in gobby people, politics and celebrities.....especially when the main stream media 'report' on them.

  Life is too short. I'm fast approaching the end of mine. As Kenneth Williams' last entry in his diary before he topped himself, said..'Oh, what's the bloody point?'

  Jan - I do like to pull my punches

  I look at what's happening here there and Tamworth and I get more convinced that we are all just a selfish species that inhabits a planet like fleas on a cat. We are none of us as important as we think we are. The human race is a deadly virus on this world. The whole process of our existence is insane. Our societies are mentally retarded.

  We have no purpose, we only fool ourselves. We are tribal and animalistic.

  Love is a trick of evolution to ensure the species reproduces. When it reproduces, it spews out hierarchical societies of sheeple and leaders. Goodness knows how we actually have survived.

  We are living a grand lie.

  UK Tax cuts. Will the UK ever improve? I'll be impressed if it does. Right now, my city is like an open sewer and getting worse.

  Did I mention I hate authority and people in it?

  Anyway, rant over. As you were.

  How you see this seems to depend upon which political leaning you have, in my view. Hence the debate.

  No matter which argument I listen to, it all seems pointless. Our politicians are self serving. Career politicians (look at the history of the only Truss I know that isn't a hernia support), who only feather their own nest.

  'Let them eat cake.' attutude.

  These b'stards are not reading the room, have no interest in the common people and talk shite 24/7.

  I no longer have any faith in any of the UK's parties. All utter shite.

  We await neo feudalism.
