  Blood, The Watchtower and Deceit

  by Maximus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while much attention is given to doctrine in sites such as this, very little is noted about the watchtower societys intellectual dishonesty in its publications, especially when it comes to quotations.. oftentimes the societys writers will cite a scholar or author of some repute: "professor blank observes that blah, blah, blah.

  " the reader assumes from the quotation that professor blank is in agreement with the organizations position, of course, and that the quotation chosen accurately depicts the authors thoughts.. heres the catch: the words between the quotation marks may be accurate, but the snippet may not at all faithfully represent someones actual thesis or position.

  much like a newspaper ad for a movie that quotes a reviewer as saying "monumental!

  The JDubs and Amway--a match made in hell......

  by LDH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are many perceptive posters here who have picked up on the mlm amway/jdub connection.. however, there are some who are not familiar with what we are talking about.

  i thought for them it would be nice to list some similarities between the two organizations.. btw, amway has a new line of business, they're calling it quixtar.

  so if you get approached for this, be aware it's just amway.

  i was baptized june 1, 1985. thats the day they started using the new baptismal questions in their baptismal talk on the baptismal day to all the baptismal candidates.

  did any of you actually hear those questions they made you stand up to hear read?

  would any of us at that moment in time actually have said anything but a resounding "yes!!!

  WTBS Made a Huge Mistake!

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was tempted to write the wtbs today.

  i'm reading a loaned copy (from my younger sister, 'waiting') of ray franz's "in search of christian freedom.

  " it is a masterful point-by-point refutation of the wts doctrine.

  I got my nerve up, gonna try this again!

  by LostMyReligion in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i first posted to this board as "truman" about 2 months ago.

  it was a time of deep depression, confusion, fear, and paranoia for me, as i had just 3 weeks before discovered that everything i had believed for 27 years was only a pipe dream.. everyone was very welcoming, but after only a few posts, i got so afraid i had to stop.

  i was fearful of revealing too much, being somehow discovered, and of the possibility of saying the wrong thing, incurring the ire of my betters here.

  Bonsai Kitty

  by suzi mayhem in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok.. i know i've been a bit of a buster in the past, but this is for real.

  there is a site out there, and apparently a demand, for modified housepets.

  in a nutshell, what these ahem... [people] do is take a kitten, sedate it, insert the poor thing into a glass bottle with air holes drilled into it, and run tubes into it to feed it, and tubes into it to take care of everything else.
