or do you think trump actually won???
?.
The loser of the election was America.
Nothing more true!
Gas prices over 50% increase
Building material costs 300% increase.
Unemployment. (Why work when you make more sitting on your ass?)
National debt. (Evidently it doesn't matter to anyone.)
Illegal immigration thru the roof.
Great big thanks to Slo-Joe and the Ho!
i was talking to an ex-jw.
not been out as long as i have.. cut a long story short, i came to realise that i can no longer be bothered to debate jws if (on the rare occasion), i have encountered them.. i think that because i am somewhere circling a nihilistic atheist it seems pointless.
i just don't have the energy because i rarely even think about jw related garbage.
As soon as you say something that disputes or disagrees with JW doctrine (whether Biblical or not) most JW's will just refuse to listen. The pain of the cognitive dissonance is just too severe.
lol, i'm sorry, but is this n*gga serious?.
yes, he suffered his mother dying when he was 12, and his father charles maybe wasn't the best hands-on father.. but 'genetic pain'?
wtf is this shit?.
Ginge then told us we need to save water from his mansion with 16 bathrooms.
It should be pretty obvious what the problem really is with someone that needs 16 bathrooms.
(Full of ...........)
the thread about old timers got me thinking about trends i see with the watchtower.
i've changed my opinion about where the organization stands.
when i joined the religion in 1973 it was dynamic, even the small congregation i attended sent out three or four pioneers.
At some point it gets impossible to turn the ship around --

It must be tough when you're the #2 son all of your life. His only ticket to stardom was to kill off the older brother. Fast forward and now he's got some 2nd fiddle starlet to play the fiddle for his sad song.
Losers. (Just because you have cash does not make you anything more than that.)
israel retaliated and some are accusing israel of an “act of terrorism”.
evidently these rockets are trying to get to tel aviv but the dome is getting overwhelmed.. i wonder if the usa and other nations will come to israel’s defense..
I would not be surprised if Israel finds all this as a good excuse to stop Iran from continuing to pursue nuclear capability. Israel is kinda like the JWism. They really think they are God's Special People. But, they have BIG GUNS to kick ass. (JWs only have lawyers.)
i'm just thinking of examples of jw doublethink.. here's one - jws will tell a bible study or unbaptised publisher that there is no hierarchy within the org.
they typically remark on christendom's hierarchy but then say 'we are all brothers'.
but as a person gets further into the cult, jws will constantly stress the need to obey the governing body.. jw hierarchy .
You forgot:

active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.
active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .
inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.
#4 -- Inactive agnostic.
Convinced the WT bOrg does not have The Truth(®) but still have lingering thoughts about a Higher Power somewhere, somehow involved in it all. Just haven't really been shown any hard evidence to make a convincing argument.
someone made reference in another post that the awake magazine had ceased publication.
maybe i missed it since i have not been on here as much in the last 6 months.
is this true?
Announcement coming soon:
It was at the 1990 Cedar Point "Somewhere in our dreams" convention that it was pointed out that the works of the modern day locust would soon draw to a close. In that end we see the end of the publishing of the Asleep magazine has now arrived. We rejoice with you in seeing this further understanding carried forth.
Surely the Service Dept has someone reading this boards to find great ideas like this on how to spin this shit. Think about it! We are like their free polling numbers.
the new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.
they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.
a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.
Bathing only once/week would surely help with social distancing and lower covid transmission rates.
