  AE - "Thank you for your email. I can confirm that Communications have taken steps to change the music to Mozart."

  Oh, well, that's better than Cultz art.

  Stan - my troll radar is pinging.

  I get a peculiar tingle too.

  We'll know if the moon landing denial comes out.

  WHAT DO Jehovah's Witnesses believe?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  please add or correct the following written by helge kare fauskanger.

  "for starters, imagine a distinctly insular form of protestant fundamentalism minus the trinity (god and jesus are held to be separate beings, and the holy spirit is god's active power rather than a person).

  note: since the witnesses want to think of their faith as something absolutely unique, they themselves will not agree that they are either protestant or fundamentalist.. * very important to call god by his proper name of jehovah, and as noted, you must not get him mixed up with jesus.

  smiddy - I remember the 'house to house' bit in Acts 20:20 now. It is one the JWs believe is a command. It doesn't look like a command to me. It seems to be a bit of a one off in terms of 'methods' before Paul was bunged under house arrest.

  They never mention Luke 10:7 though.

  Vandy would probably have a better handle on it than me, I've given up studying after the trauma with the Corporation(tm) destroyed my trust.

  The dedicated one must be a house-to-house witness as was Christ Jesus and the apostles

  Well, for a start, I don't recall reading about that in the Bible, not even in Acts of the Apostles!
  

  As for what JW's believe, I would suggest they don't actually hold beliefs as such. They just parrot the propaganda that the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon then spout).

  Joined an online meeting incognito

  2. experiences

  got a link for a zoom meeting and thought id share my experience about the mid-week meeting.. guessing about 100 - 120 in cong.. 50 on zoom, only 8 with cameras on - all elderly.

  watching from a detached point of view it's so obvious at how it is nothing but a glorified sales meeting, all designed to promote the org.

  inspirational videos about how everyone can/ should do more to help with projects, in particular how to look after the kingdom hall, complete with bar charts showing levels of achievement to aspire to.. interestingly, tonights book study is about alcohol..

  What a sick, disgusting fake religion. These paedophile enablers the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), should actually be doing more for the elderly. But they won't because they are corrupt grifters.

  ChatGPT analysis - Pure Worship

  by Jeffro in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i provided chatgpt the text of the introductory ‘letter’ in pure worship, without any commentary to affect the context, and asked it to point out any errors, fallacies or other issues….

  as an ai language model, i strive to be neutral and provide information without bias.

  however, there are a few things in the text that could be considered fallacies or issues, such as:1. appeal to emotion: the text uses emotional language such as "thrilled" and "exciting" to describe the reaction of those who received the book.

  Rubbish. It's programmed by Lefty, Communist types that are continuing the Long March through the Institutions.

  ever since the annual meeting last october and the letter to bodies of elders stating that "exceptional young men perhaps in their early 20's could qualify for appointment as elders.." it even states this in the updated elders manual!

  have any of you pimo's, pimq's, or those on here with family/friends still in hear of any young men being appointed as elders yet?

  i am talking 21, 22, 23, 24 etc.

  RG - A situation which bears very little resemblance to reality.

  This is true. In cases of Porneia(tm), the young Elders(tm) will think it's because someone came to fix the fridge.

  I have registered your comments

  I wonder if that's polite talk for Room 101?

  And imagine this 20-year-old "elder" hasn't ever seen another person naked and doesn't even know how to masturbate...

  They all look at porn. They pretend they don't.........

  ....they do though!

  PIMQ, is the Q standing for questioning?

  or Mentally Queer?

  What about PIMR Phisically in, mentally retarded. Or PIAITB Phisically in, asleep in the bog.

  PIMH Phisically in, metal head.

  I'm getting a bit tired of all these acronyms TBH (see what I did there?), I have no diarrea what some of them refer to.

  Elders(tm) in their 20's? Is this the filthy, disgusting cult running on empty?
