Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?

by Fisherman in

“who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..

Fish - Remember how Jesus told Peter to feed his sheep and Jesus wasn’t only referring to Peter.

I don't remember that, at least not in that way. It sounds like a bit of an extension has been added to prop up Xtian fanatical propaganda.

My problems are that I'm not 100% convinced Jesus or Peter existed. If they did, was it in the way the Bible states?

Although there are words of wisdom in the Bible, there is also weird stuff. I remain an XJW, (I cannot believe their 'teachings(tm)' because of my discoveries about them. I am an ex Christian and probably more of an aficionado of many written wisdom books(for want of a better word), , without the God bit. I'm totally unsure about God right now.

Then there's the thing about people in the West gravitating to Christianity but if you're in Asia for instance, not.

Sorry. I digress.
As you were people.

Do you believe that this life is all there is

by Fisherman in

the bible records resurrections and there is orher evidence besides that gives hope.

what do you think, is there enough evidence to believe in another life?.

I haven't a scooby doo, mate. (That's UK rhyming slang for clue for my friends over the Atlantic and such).

I don't consider myself arrogant enough to 'know(tm)'.

We'll see in the end..........or not.....depending.....

JW's are the SAME as other Christians....

by BoogerMan in

...they condemn/attack those whose beliefs/opinions/interpretations of scriptures differ from theirs.. various scriptures reveal to christians that the judging of mankind will be done by christ jesus: .

john 5:22,28,29, acts 10:42, acts 17:31, romans 14:9, 2 cor.

5:10, 2 tim.

Usually religious people think that their's is the right path. It's obvious to them, that's why the follow their chosen way. Not much point following if you're not convinced.

Someone has to be wrong.

ALL babies are "little enemies of God"...

by BoogerMan in

straight from the horse's gb's mouth - from the 2022 convention broadcast.. it's at the 38 min.

30 secs.

This is the kind of stupid nonsense you hear when a dimwit spouts their 'if you think about it(tm)' garbage.

Dunning Kruger award to Lord Lett for saying such a mentally challenged thing. He obviously has trouble in the thinking department. If that's what he thought, then his head must be empty. There's bats in his belfry.

Whether you think his words are harmless or not, it betrays the clown world the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), live in and why those drunken paedo lovers spew out of their bumbatoots.

Amazing how they take a helpful parable and make it about themselves.

If that doesn't scream 'cult', I don't know what does, so to speak.

They use a modern day corporate kind of term 'governing body' and try to crowbar it into scriptures.

Do those paedo protecting frauds think we don't notice?

They wouldn't print this if they didn't think it was a problem.

Quick builds

by moley in

what was the standard of quick builds.

did they cut corners, ignore building regulations, were they unsafe .

punkofnice

NBD - Quick builds ended in the 90s right? If so I'm wondering if there are actually any left that haven't been remodeled or rebuilt after 30 years.

The one nearest to me, which I helped on, is now a Mosque.

Makes you wonder about the dedication to true worship ritual the Jobots initiated just after it was built..............

Bleedin' idiots.

2 outrageous quotes from The WT Society

by GabeAthouse in

jw
friends

"can the ethiopian change his skin?

", feb. 15, 1904 watch tower.

we answer, no.

Tell a Jobot and they'll just say that it isn't true. They will claim it is all 'Apostate(tm) driven lies and forgeries.'

You can't argue with a sick mind. Joe Walsh tried and look what happened to him!

According to Jehovah's Witnesses, who will be saved?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i know who won't be saved according to witnesses and that includes just about everyone alive at armageddon who is not a jehovah’s witness.

.

others who are permanently lost include adam and eve, those who died in the flood, people of sodom and gomorrah and apostates to their one true religion..

punkofnice

You never know. They keep flip flopping about the men of Sodom. The light flashes on and off.

The Jobots are a really depressing cult.

New Light, New Light!

by BoogerMan in

more accurately known as a reversal of a long held 'truth.'.

september 2022 study watchtower - par.

14 p. 18 - "in the past, we understood jesus’ words to refer to the deeds the resurrected ones will practice after their resurrection; that is, some will come to life and practice good things while others will come to life and practice vile things.

punkofnice

It's reading stuff like this that reminds me just how utterly boring the Jobot 'teachings(tm)' are.

Other religions are so much more fun.
