Paging punkofnice

by riblah in

jw
friends

i've missed seeing his posts; i hope he's okay - maybe on a nice vacation (or i guess i should say holiday) and enjoying himself..

punkofnice

Hello, Ribby and Phuzster.

I lurk a bit. At the moment I'm taking a 'vacation' from JW related things. I am getting close to retirement and seeking a more peaceful way of living.

That rich widow still hasn't seen my worth and snapped me up yet. Well, no one has, rich, widowed or otherwise.

It's odd. It only seems a short time ago that I was leaving school and looking to get a job to start off. Now, it's all ending. I don't like it. I still feel young in my head.

Any road up, I'm having the odd look in here but trying to get the vile Corporation out of my head. I loathe them.

Love you guys.

Can the World Cup Really Unite People? - What Does the Bible Say?

by Festus in

seriously....this is an article on jw.borg.. really?

football - or soccer - and bible?.

these guys have really lost the plot.. i can promise you that bible does not say a flying flaming about world cup.. however, as much as people want them to, these events cannot provide lasting unity.

punkofnice

Click bait?

I didn't watch any of the World Cup, Footie bores me.

Like TOMO the turd and his nonces know anything about sport, unless it's a drinking match.

Are the teachings of JW—consistent?

by Fisherman in

i would belief so but if you can point something out, it can be discussed.. i don’t mean what jw taught in the past that they later realized was not correct and amended.

—unless you think and can show something like that is relevant.. i’ve spoken to a lot of believers from different religions.

i don’t want to bash any religion here under this topic but their beliefs are inconsistent and their reasons are sophistry and made up and grounded on circular reasoning.

punkofnice

FM - Is that what you conclude after being on this forum longer than you?

Like that makes any difference.

Also, it was 3AM, mate when I posted this thread. Try to use a little common sense.

Why post at that hour? Try to use a little common sense.

FM is Simon having a laugh, right? Come on own up!

A couple of us wonder if FM is Simon having fun on the forum. I can't get over the unusual sentence structures and spelling errors. All part of the joke?

ribby - I'm not here a lot, but Fisherman seems pretty troll-y.

I agree. I'm not sure FM is genuine. I also notice weird spelling and structure; so I'm unsure if English is FM's first language.

I'm sure FM (He,her, them), is just having a laugh on here, probably from China.

What do Jehovah`s Witnesses beleive that can be linked to Pagan practices , anyone ?

by smiddy3 in

a previous thread has inspired me to post this ,thanks guys .. { i`ve been out for so long i may have missed something }.

punkofnice

Probably anything that doesn't give them money.

There are of course, things linked to 'paganism' that they turn a blind eye to EG Wedding rings and Wedding cakes.

They are a weird cult.....but...........

Follow the money.

Our First Christmas Tree

by Queequeg in

early on, after we left jw land, my wife said to me, “i hope you don’t care, but i don’t ever see myself doing any christmas stuff.

i don’t really understand why some ex jws decide to do that crap.” we agreed that parties were a little different because of the social aspects, but other wise i didn’t care.

now… there’s a 16’ douglas fir with ornaments and lights in our living room.

punkofnice

Quee - Good for you and your missus. I'm happy it worked out for you.

I've been out of the cult over 11 years and I still can't be bothered with a tree.

May your missus's hand be healed nicely.

Fairy, star or other on top of your tree?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower—study edition | january 2023. study article 3. jehovah is helping you to succeed.

how jehovah makes you successful.

13. does jehovah intervene in every situation we face?

punkofnice

Does Jehovah intervene in every situation we face? Explain.

Er, as Unky Punky sees it........ If Jehovah(tm) doesn't exist then the question is irrelevant.

FM - I don’t mean what JW taught in the past that they later realized was not correct and amended.

Well, that narrows it down. What time-frame are you narrowing it down to? Last 25 years? Why brush the cult's failures under the carpet?

Why was there something not correct? God dropped his phone in the toilet again?

Unless you think and can show something like that is relevant.

It's all relevant. If the cult leaders need to make 'corrections' then something is deeply wrong with them. they should have got it right the 1st time Jehovah(tm) whispered in TOMO's ear. Or was he too drunk to hear properly?

OK. Loss of lives because of the cult's stance on refusing blood transfusions. Then they changed to being ok with blood 'fractions(tm)'. What of the lives lost and families damaged by the stance before 'blood fractions(tm)' that needn't have happened after the 'correction(tm)'?

You tell me.

Smiddy - How can the JW`s religion be consistent if they have modified /changed their position

Spot on mate!

If not the WT/JW relgion where else are 'we' to go? Why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism?

by Disillusioned JW in

sometimes jws wonder if the wt/jw is not the truth, 'then where else are we to go?

' i say 'why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism and why not a secular philosophy which teaches a way of life?

' what do you folks say?.

Dissy - Hi punkofnice. Lately in thread I have been making posts about nutritional/medicinal supplements which seem to prolong good health and which seem to prolong lifespan.

Sorry. I missed this 1st time around. That is an interesting subject.

I sometimes pick and munch on a bit of Yarrow that grows wild in the grass. Have to mind that the dogs haven't left their 'scent' on it tho.
