for some years i’d had a growing irritation and disillusionment with the religion: i was getting tired of the pompousness, the arrogance and the control, i felt increasingly choked by their restrictions and i was drained by their demands on my time.

That's probably a lot of our stories, too.

Biden running in 2024 🤣

by LoveUniHateExams in

i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.

apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.

his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..

Apparently, Joe Biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the White House.

Maybe. But he won't know.

The state of American politics (what I see of it), shows me that Biden is just a front...a sock puppet they roll out as a representation of a President.

How can anyone take him seriously? Well. Some in that tribe do because they need a figurehead to look up to.

My 2 penneth........Politicians are all extreme filth and frauds. We are led by donkeys.

The Twos

by Fisherman in

the twos 2000-2022….. is that why do so many people put on tattoos?

or are there other reasons?

i can’t understand it.

punkofnice

I imagine each tatt owner has their own explanation.

Some don't have the spelling correct. That amuses me.

The twos 2000-2022….

This bit is lost on me I don't understand it. What have I overlooked?

Mistakes made by GB.

by Hellothere in

"the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction".

i know this subject been talked about before.

punkofnice

The Governing Body(tm)(Pee be upon them), don't care. They're only promoting their fake religion that is a thin disguise for a big Business, for their own personal ends.

Thus, they get to have it any way they want, depending upon which gives them money, assets and the ability to protect their like minded paedophiles.

Why did you leave the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Vanderhoven7 in

Because I was all about Jesus and the JWs thought I was wrong for this.

The final straw was because, as an elder(tm), I saw the corrupt business side of it all. No love. No Jesus. Just callous following of rules for the financial benefit of the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them).

Scriptures That Don’t Fit WT Theology

by Sea Breeze in

here’s a couple good ones: a. jesus said, “come to me and i will give you rest”.. why did jesus command us to go to him and not jehovah?.

why does the bible say that the name of jesus is above every name?

Blotty - since you dont seem to just want to do a simple google search for scholarly articles

How passive aggressive of you.

Im compiling those links

How quaint. Compile away. I'm not here to 'compile'. An if it's so 'simple' as you say, don't be rude about it. Just do it yourself. I'm not here to puke Bible critique. I responded to the OP, not you

That it doesn't fit in with your view is fine. I really don't care. It's less than meaningless to me.

I do have better things to do. Just don't be so rude, please.

The time my Jehovah's Witness mom ripped my rock band photos and poster

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

Did your parents or you as a parent, do anything that showed your self-righteous disapproval?

I wasn't allowed to have David Bowie LPs because of his ahem, 'appearance' and the word in the Jobots was that he was a homo.

I was even told not to have Donovan LPs.

Of course I had both, just hidden in the sleeves of other artists. I knew my parents wouldn't recognise Bowie or Donavan when played.

As far as Led Zeppelin are concerned, I managed to ensconce a poster on my wall in a position that wasn't really looked at.

I listened to what I wanted despite the Jobots!
