Memorial Audience Filled with Unbelieving Mates and Other Miserable Relatives

by xjwsrock in

i looked around my hall and saw so many miserable unbelieving mates and relatives it was actually funny.

they were in a glazed-over stupor.

they looked liked children forced to go to an opera.

Lieu

I still haven't figured out why anyone not partaking needs to be there.

Peddling God’s Timetable: the Men Who Failed

by Terry in

peddling god’s timetable: the men who failed.

james ussher (1581-1656).

your name is ussher – james ussher – and you are the archbishop of all of ireland.. you are living in the 1600s and are obsessive-compulsive when it comes to speculative ideas.

It's sad. They basically call Jesus (and therefore God) a liar when they say they know "the time". Their continual guessing is disgusting for those claiming to be followers of Christ. Trying to steal something for themselves. Just like the two thieves Adam and Eve, they claim that you'll know God stuff if you "eat this fruit" which they will provide. Satanic. I HATE them for that.

I once told my mother, a professed anointed, they (the GB) need to stop trying to STEAL from God. It's not for anyone to know. Can't he have one dayum tree and one dayum day to himself?????

Do JWs think Jesus was a liar or just a fool?

by TTWSYF in

not alot of love or respect for jesus, his apostles or his church from the jws.

.

did he build his church on sand or have fools in charge that couldn't get out of their own way?.

Lieu

1.Who????

2. Well he doesn't know when the big A is coming but the GB have claimed at times they do.

3. Allegedly 100 yrs into the 1000 yr reign and no seasons of refreshing yet.

4. Maybe the GB think he's eating and drinking anew with the Apostles while life still sucks for a lot of humanity in the Kingdom.

5. Too many parables about forgiving wayward people out having sexytime. Doesn't jive with their teachings.

6. Too much about really doing charitable works. Paying out of pocket for injured strangers and feeding people listening to long talks. Giving up your clothes to someone in need. Rubbish! A magazine will suffice.

7. There's talk of doom and gloom, but not enough. All that love and forgiveness keeps getting in the way. He simply doesn't throw enough rocks.

8. That whole humility thing of washing feet, not lording over each other, or that insane women getting the straight 'dope' first while men get parables first thing. .. Preposterous!

9. Unburdensome yokes, light loads? No way ... need more rules and for every little thing.

10. Jesus was too nice. Forgiving Peter for denying being a friend. Pffft!

They remind me of the evil servants that kill the Kings son thinking they'll get his inheritance. Too much talk of following Christ and you're bound to notice that whole beating his sheep thing.

Paul they follow. A mass murdering "convert" that stays single and reproaches people for transgressions far far less than his own. Doom and gloom. Kinda like a former smoker ... highly annoying.

So... Are they done printing the number of partakers?

by thedepressedsoul in

during the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.

more of a, wtf, face.

one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".

Lieu

Well, they could never know the real number of anything. After all, in testimony the GB member pretty much stated they aren't the only religious of God. What's the amount of "the others"?

Real Prophecy vs. Watchtower Prophecies

by Perry in

while we had our eyes fixated on our "one-time" idol the watchtower and their false prophecies like the generation of 1914 that wouldn't pass away, 1975 etc.

; a number of real prophecies were unfolding.

we just weren't taught to look for them.

Lieu

According to the Jews in Iran, (holders of the Babylonian Talmud and descendants of the Hebrew exiles) they aren't supposed to go back until the Messiah comes and restores the Temple. They refuse to leave Iran until such occurs.

I'll take their word for their ancestral religion. Everyone else is just guessing.

The Christian GOD / Old Testament GOD , one and the same right? A GOD of Love ?

by smiddy in

and god is the same today as he was yesterday and will be the same tomorrow.. in other words he is unchangeable.. what a bloodthirsty god he was in the old testament., at his command killing old men young men women and children by the sword , a two edged sword i might add in some cases.cutting both ways.. put yourself in that situation for a minute , either as a victim or the executioner.

can you imagine piercing some other human with a two edged sword ?

especially if they were a child ?

What most of us want and what goes on are 2 different things. It may be peaceful and prosperous where you are but the rest of the planet ... not so much. Everyone doesn't have a history of continuous warring around the globe for hundreds of years to compare a level of peacefulness with.

It's definitely a quiet time for peoples with a history of warring everywhere and all the time. It's not the history of the majority.

Crofty, if I could, I'd like the Americas before any colonists. Simple, clean, mostly quiet. No disdain for women, very minimal disease, natural food, thousands of herd animals wandering about, clean environment, no need for money, no bills, no lawyers, build a dwelling wherever. Peoples word meant something.

The sun kills because humans have weakened the ozone layer. Also, some humans don't have the melanin to be hanging out in the bright sunshine all day.

Some things are introduced by humans destroying natural environments. We're destructive like locusts. Some things were introduced because humans were filthy in habits. Medieval Europe, take a bath and wash your hands or get the plague.

Mining for minerals destroys habitat and clean water sources. Humans. Do you think before the Greeks that the Sahara was a dessert? Or do you realize the water was dammed up so that one of the largest salt deposits known to man could be mined? Salt was once more precious than gold. Similar to what happened to the Nile basin.

Humans made things uninhabitable.
