  What is THE lie?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  2 thessalonians 2:11; "so that is why god lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie....".

  this scripture has intrigued me for quite a while.

  exactly what is "the lie"?

  Words that were ok to use as a witness

  by jamesmahon in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  this follows on from the other thread on michael jackson and an earlier one this morning.

  sufficiently different to start a new thread i thought though.. on the mj thread i had a bit of a poke at glander and used a load of anti-gay terms.

  what i thought was interesting was that they were all terms that i used to use as a witness.

  We had a talk on using the word fag once. It was pretty lame. The argument was that a fag was a bundle of sticks. Still not sure of the point of that talk. Pretty sure the elder giving it didn't have his heart in it. I have a feeling the right intention was there but they really didn't know how present it. BTW it didn't stop us from saying it. I remember being sensitive to most racial comments. Still made a few jokes now and then but no where close to how openly we used gay insults. I don't think it was a Jdub thing though. I remember the same thing in school. I graduated HS in 1983 to give a time frame.

  WT Q&A Study Method

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for years, i've never understood why we read a paragraph, ask a question, and then recite what we just read in the paragraph, and at the wt study, it's an hour long period of severe boredom because, well, how many times can we recite the same stuff over and over?

  even new ones who come in have been baffled at this method of teaching.

  i have a theory, though.. however, i just read the "what is sacred service?

  Funny (not ha ha funny) how so many of the thing the dubs say about others apply equally to themselves.

  Strain the gnat swallow the camel frequently comes to mind.

  The picture does say cult but I don't think it is picture of a JW baptism. Which of course makes it another win for the dubs being able to point the finger at "apostate" lies. That being said I do think it is wrong for a 7 yo to make that decision. I was 18 and don't think I knew what I was getting into.

  This is one of the things that helped me leave. I realized that the jws spent way too much time trying to prove something that really doesn't matter.

  Please! Investing in a hedge fund is not the same thing as gambling. It is sad that they do the right thing with their money while instructing the dubs not to save for the future.
  I wonder how good their returns are maybe we could start a watch the watchtower investing club.
  And that video only gives ammunition to the JWs for use against us "apostates"

  i like that picture a lot.

  i was a bit thinner then, my hair had rather less gray in it.

  it was taken when i was swimming with the dolphins on a shore excursion during a cruise in 2007. nonetheless, i look somewhat different now.

  Neo it should be automatic. It took mine ten min or so. Maybe it doesn't work when you already had a custom picture already?

  CB, I think you can add email accounts to gravitar once you sign up. I am not sure if you have to verify them or not but worth a try.

  You need to sign up at http://en.gravatar.com/ with the email you used to set up your account here.

  From there is should be pretty easy to figure out.

  You need to rate the photo as G rated or else it won't be displayed.
