The Meetings Really Suck Lately

warning.....profanity ahead...wimps may want to leave this page.... perhaps it's stupid bringing this up when all you guys are up to speed with how the gb is full of shit anyway, but i just feel like complaining about it.

the borg is royally fucked up, and we need to call them out on it.. all the talks are about armageddon being close, closer than ever, etc.

you know, the usual crap...we've all heard a thousand times...puke puke.... then there's the added factor that everyone in my congo is actually convinced that they cannot miss even a single meeting.

Check Out This Load of Crap

so i did a brief google search and asked the internet: "so who's not going to hell?

" i figured i'd learn to laugh at the uber-fundamentalists.

it's much less stressful and fruitful than arguing with them.

I finally understand why my very intelligent, logical, incredibly well read dad/elder is incapable of the ability to reason on jw teachings he receives on the wi-fi144k/2b link
by oompa in

he can only start with the firm confiction.......no...the positive position that a certain teaching/topic is irrefutable... because it comes directly from god on his wi-fi144k/2b link ....then his and many other hardcore jws very ability to reason may be lost as it is with my dad.

ah (overused jw word) but in order to reason your way to an answer on any topic...you must be able to consider and meditate (overused jw word) various information, other possibilities, alternate positions that may a better answer to or better define the topic.

uh-uhh...he cant do that...because he already has all the answers...not only is there is no need to really reason on the topic, but the very ability is totally removed....even for a man as smart as my dad...he cant even consider an alternate view that may be more correct, because there cant be one more correct than that of wt .

Wachtower says 97% of teens masturbate....is it realistic that 100% Witness teens don't?
by Witness 007 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
"young people ask" book admits 97% of youths masturbate...to put it into perspective, it's like saying 97% of the worlds population own a phone or a t.v!!

so is it realistic to believe these witnesses going thru puberty and teenage years won't on penalty of death?.

i always thought, if nearly 100% of teens do it isn't it normal?.

Why do Americans still dislike atheists?
by behemot in
1. jw
2. friends
by gregory paul and phil zuckerman (washington post).

long after blacks and jews have made great strides, and even as homosexuals gain respect, acceptance and new rights, there is still a group that lots of americans just dont like much: atheists.

those who dont believe in god are widely considered to be immoral, wicked and angry.

was checking out the aug. 1 public watchtower and the our readers ask... is does god dwell in one place?

think there was something in an awake a few months back about this.

the physical heavens cannot.
