these guys believe that they are running and directing "god's organization" and it is all based on some flimsy parable interpetation about a master who left a slave in charge while he went away with the outcome uncertain upon his return.
not a very solid case to be pointedly honest.
jesus would have made a better choice of donald trump to run his father's business/watchtower corporation, he's less arrogant and doesn't discourage higher education, and plastic children's toys are not a major concern of his.. what is arrogance?.
Anthony Morris's Homophobe speech to his Italian Corporation publishers may indicate that he is a gay male in denial.
You might just be right, what you hate can say a lot about you. And he did make a comment about the other brother's body so obviously he was looking.
I also find those tight jeans rather disgusting but I just figured it was because I'm getting old and bitter
And what is up with metrosexual? That went out about 5 years ago didn't it?
i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.
i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.
i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.
One time my car got stuck on the soft shoulder. I found an old rotten piece of wood in a field nearby and used to to help get me unstuck. When we were done an elder told me that I needed to put the wood back where I got it. I refused and just tossed on the side of the road and drove off.
He even called my dad later to complain.
One day in FS the group asked whose care we could use. When nobody spoke up I said we could use mine but but I'm going to need people to chip in for gas money. An elder took me aside and called me arrogant. Quite funny because he never seemed offered to use his car.
it occurred to me that jws have a form of the trinity that they do believe in.
first they believe that jesus is the son of god, they then also believe that jesis is michael the archangel, and finally they believe that jesus is abbadon the angel of the abyss in revelation.
has anyone ever conversed with a jw about these three things?.
And don't forget the 3 generations that are only one.
I really did LOL

i few moments ago i received a strange text message.
it read:.
russian government is opening a case on banning our jw.org website in russia.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
how many mistakes one can make in understanding a simple statement of jesus?
take one sample statement:.
i say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with abraham, isaac and jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
How do they fare up for being the longest running cult? I read somewhere years ago (in a galaxy far far away) that the average cult does not do well after its second missed prophecy. They got that beat hands down.
jehovahs witnesses are a teaching and preaching organization.. however, history shows that teachings do not make people self-motivated to do good or to be spiritual.
(mathew 23:37, 38) hence god will not choose an organization to serve no purpose!
in fact, he simply denounces preachers, teachers and miracle-performers.
If I were God I would be completely offended at how the dubs try to put me in a box with their simple explanations.
Can you imagine if God was really the way the JWs portray him? If he was a person I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be winning any father of the year awards. I'm always reminded of the God of the JWs by a friend I had when I was younger. Her dad was always promising to take the family to Disney or some such place but always had an excuse when it was time to make the trip.
Sounds a bit like armageddon to me.

I could rant on this all day.
Money is an illusion (from the movie Blow)
Keep in mind i'm speaking from the point of view of a person living in the USA.
What does all that money get you? When the wealthy have all the money what are they going to do with it? At some point it becomes worthless. The average person will have to find other ways to fill their needs, farming, bartering or something else.
Even so, at this point it seems like even the poorest people are better off than they were years ago when things were less unbalanced.
It always amazes me when I see the cleaners in my office walking around talking on their $60 a month $2-300 smart phones.
When I was younger we didn't have all the latest fasions, toys, cars, Mc Mansions etc..
Thought this was funny.....
