  Watchtower looses Norwegian Appeal

  by Diogenesister in

  1. social
  2. current

  watchtower has just lost its appeal in the norwegian courts over the withdrawal of the funding it receives from the government as an officially recognised religion.

  the initial decision will now stand due to what the court termed 'exclusionary practices' which includes the witnesses barbaric practice of shunning minors, even by family members in their own homes.

  the ministry of children and families have decided they are now no longer eligible for the state grant of 16 million norwegian kroner given to officially recognised religions.. the following is a statement has been issued, i have summarised if it isn't readable: .

  dodgy knees - That is a completely specious argument.

  I agree with you. It seems that once again, a troll for the JW cult is agreeing that the WBT$ is ok to abuse children. Something they are skilled at.

  DISGUSTING!

  i hate my life!

  i have to say it, but i do.. i have a sneaking suspicion that because i was raised in the dangerous jehovah borgness cult, that this is the reason.

  i was told if god didn't watch me masturbating or smoking, then he'd let me live forever in perfect conditions.. i left the borg and as a result my jw wife left me and re-married another gung ho jobo.

  Stan -a lot of guys would envy you.

  They wouldn't.

  Mind you, geezers. Have you seen the price of campervans? Bleedin' 'ell, same price as a stately home...nearly...well, not....but that's the joke.

  I reviewed this thread because I was nattering with a chum recently. We both agreed I'm depressed. No kidding, right? Blimey O'Rielly.

  Well, I kind of knew that. I'm trying things to chase away the darkness.

  Rather difficult, dah-lings. Rather difficult.

  I think one of the things that p1sses me off is seeing the ex doing really well in her new gung ho Jobot life. Even TOMO3rd is happier than me.......we suspect it's booze that does it...but, whatever works.

  Not fair, I say!

  if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

  tonus - Making it a symbolic number could end up working for the WTS

  Watch out for 'new light(tm)' because we know the WBT$ spies read things on this forum.

  Not TOMO the drunk 3rd though; he won't be able to read anything with blurred, double vision. I imagine he'd be flat out on the floor, slurring his words and stinking of booze and sick.

  I wonder if the JW spies can confirm that one of Christ's brothers(tm) an irredeemable alcoholic? Oh, my. Tony won't get to heaven, will he?!

  Next Washtowel will be about not insinuating there is anything wrong with the Governing Body(tm).

  Now, where was I? Ah, yes, the F&DS row.

  biahi - I wonder if the person complaining about the orange juice thought that there was vodka in it.

  They should have said it was Whiskey and they're following the fine example of Brother A Morris 3rd of the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them).

  Next, they will work on getting outrageously drunk and slurring their words. Following of course, the fine example set by one of Christ's Brothers(tm).

  As one poster said, 'the Tony Morris class'.

  ozzie - Should we re-name this thread?

  Much ado about nothing.

  Again, the religious types are arguing about their interpretation of a book of myths, fairy tales and nonsense as if it is real and has relevance in real life. It's all a momentous waste of time.

  Can you answer my questions, please?

  by Sandie in

  i have three questions.

  i would be most grateful if someone could respond for me, please.

  thank you.. 1. can jehovah's witnesses practice faith with the bible as a guide, or is it crucial to include the teachings of the watchtower society?

  Hi Sandie- I am a non believer but here's my punt.........

  1. Can Jehovah's Witnesses practice faith with the Bible as a guide, or is it crucial to include the teachings of the Watchtower Society?

  From their own publications

  “They say that it is sufficient to read the bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such ‘Bible reading,’ they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom’s clergy were teaching 100 years ago…”—The Watchtower, August 15, 1981, pp. 28-29

  Watchtower Corporation propaganda trumps the Bible every time...even when they pretend it doesn't. the leaders will twist Bible passages if it fits their own money and power mad agenda.

  Can you please explain why or why not?

  It's a cult. The leaders only want to be treated like rock stars with power and money. They also need money to protect sexual predators within their corporation. I refer you to the Australian Royal Commission that proves this is the case.

  2. How do you explain the biblical passages that claim Jesus is God? How do you explain His own claims to be God?

  If it's 'you' as in 'me' Unky Punky, then I don't. I think the whole Bible is just fairy tales and been used as a great big scam. I don't see evidence for a God and I've never seen anything outside the Bible that convinces me Jesus was as per Bible....if he even existed.

  3. Do Jehovah's Witnesses have assurance of salvation?

  No. they need to keep paying homage to their leaders the Governing Body(tm).

  Is there any way to achieve that?

  No one ever will. It's abstract and unreal. Just another way their leaders can obtain money, booze and power.

  Tonus has given an excellent precis. Mine is as I am, a tad brusque. I tend to be more of a cross between Nihilism and Zen.

  WT Ruining Members' Futures

  what i mean by the title of this thread is what has happened to a relative of mine, one who is really upset about this factor:.

  this relative is a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family.

  she studied as a child and got baptized at 14 1/2 years old.

  River - And as my late father warned me back in the day, “Religion is like whisky and beer - you can live without it.”

  TOMO the drunk 3rd can't live without whiskey.

  F&DS. Hahaaaaa. I laugh up my ruffled sleeve.

  Geoff Jackson at the Australian Royal Commission Aug 15
  Angus Stewart Q. And do you see yourselves as Jehovah God's spokespeople on earth?
  G Jackson answered. “That I think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that God is using.“

  
  

  So, what's this that Jackson is saying? there are other F&DS's?

  I'm so glad I don't believe this clap trap anymore. All this debate about something from a book of fiction and fairy tales has people wasting their time debating rubbish. What a waste of time and life. Even now I regret even considering this poppycock.

  Probably TOMO3rd, the one with the slurred voice and what looks like a whiskey addiction wants your money for booze.

  This is a new project they're probably working on....

  

  TOMO the drunk 3rd is already slurring about hotdogs to go with his booze. 'Oh, man hotdogs. Hic!'
