  What SHOULD have woken you up ?

  by Phizzy in

  2. beliefs

  for myself, there is an embarrassingly long list of things that really should really have woken me up, fully.

  it was a long process for me, as a mind controlled born in, things i simply did not agree with, or knew were downright wrong, that built and built, and, eventually i woke up, after 58 bloody years in !.

  but just mainly for fun, what should have woken you up ?.

  A very good question Phizzy.

  When I was young, an old lady from some creepy religious cult used to come knocking at my door. I noticed that she must have always powdered her face with her specs on. I never listened to her message, in fact I recoiled at the woman's visits.

  A bit later I had unwittingly become "a study" at my JW friend's house as I liked to argue and find out about things. Then I went to the meeting and who was present; the little old cult lady.

  I should have woken up there and then before I got any deeper.

  As it happens the old lady was quite a sweet, well meaning but truly obsessive pioneer. A few years later she was put permanently into a home for the mentally ill.

  Good News About the Covid-10 and the Watchtower Bible and Truck Society! n

  we all know that things are all going to be way different when we get through this milestone.. like hurricane katrina, people survived this but new orleans even 16 years later is way different.

  our economy is like a shark that must keep moving through the water.

  stop it and it will die.. the witnesses like many people in the world, have little to no savings.

  All JWs have been happily immunised against common sense. Therefore just as the time right after one of the many failed prophecies, so it will be at the end of the corona virus pandemic. In fact they will declare it was due to Jarhoover's loving patience that he spared mankind so more people can hear the Watchtower message.....vomit.

  I guess it's not just the GB who are nuts it's the deluded sheep also for believing them for so long.

  2020 Memorial - No Need To Actually Have The Emblems

  by pale.emperor in

  over at jw talk they're saying because they're having to hold the upcoming memorial at home, they dont need to actually have the emblems.

  apparently, listening to or watching the talk is the thing that counts.. "do this in rememberence of me" apparently means watching tony morris on your phone give a talk.. this begs the question... "what's the point?

  ".

  Just a reminder, it was Mithra who was attributed with the words, Whoever does not eat of my body and drink my blood the same will not be with me in paradise. This was centuries before Jesus was ever thought of. The memorial was borrowed lock, stock and barrel from pagans.

  Surely it's a joke? It would be truly Orwellian to have to put the camera on yourself whilst watching big brother.

  Recommending home memorial tasting could be a boost for the anointed numbers. What's the point of having food and wine in your own home and not eating and drinking it?

  It would get more people happily into the anointed habit. The more partakers, the less authority the GB have because it doesn't fit with their prevailing teachings.

  Partakers feel empowered....

  After the virus has died down and enough vaccine has been made available, this episode of declaring "The of last of the last days", could be the one which wakes up the thinkers among JWs, including the GB! No I stand corrected, the GB don't think.

  Just how many times can they cry wolf?

  JW.org coronavirus response - The Four Horsemen

  The JW org supports omens, superstitions, lies and failed prophecies.

  The failure of Jesus' words regarding the coming of the Kingdom in the first century needed another dose of mad prophecy to keep the faithful bouyed up. This was the deranged apocalypse of Revelation, full of astrology and Freudian symbolism. It was a vision from Patmos into the imagined heavens of the time, written to tell the faithfull what was going to happen in the immediate future regarding the Christian church. Rev1;1

  Like Jesus' words, It too didn't happen!

  So along with many other hopefuls throughout history and still convinced of the great delusion of "God's Kingdom" and the prophetic value of the Bible, the Second Adventists and their offspring Jehovah's Witnesses still look to the heavens for a fulfillment. What a waste of effort, a waste of time and a waste of human lives?

  Finding vaccines for deadly viruses is a more honourable pursuit for which you need proper learning and evidence for what you are dealing with -- not old wives tales as found in the Bible.

  I live out in the countryside in England near a village of 600 people. We had a meeting this evening to organise ourselves. About thirty volunteers have been given about ten houses each, next to their homes to check on the welfare of the occupants. This means that everyone including the elderly and infirm are visited a minimum of once a week, the vulnerable more frequently, to see if anyone is lacking in food or transport. This way, should anyone who gets sick or worse still, contracts the Covid 19 virus it will quickly become apparent and measures can be immediately taken.

  The same idea will work in urban areas, it requires local volunteers and a list of those willing to help out in emergencies or do shopping for others etc and a street or block coordinator.

  Our village has a facebook page which connects people and gives local news and alerts.

  wtf do they have jw broadcasting for then?
