Acts of God & accidents

by Diogenesister in

exodus 21.12 whoever strikes a person mortally shall be put to death.

if it was not premeditated, but came about by an act of god?

then i will appoint for you a place to which the killer may flee.

Why do we have to ask god Not to lead us into temptation?

The typical JW zombie mindset

by SecretSlaveClass in

i posted this on a pro-jw site:.

this is the official policy sanctioned by the governing body.

it's not about indivuals being molesters/deviants.

I had a discussion with a therapist about pedos and he said he will only work with them if they admit they are doing wrong. Then went on to say they almost never do. The Dubs seem to think the bible has magic powers when used by the them. Not much different than a priest using it to exorcise demons. So it would stand to reason that they believe the pedos have been cured.

What is their official explanation for not allowing beards?

i ask because my gf, who knows all about my jw upbringing, convinced me to grow a goatee, just to see how it looks.

we both decided it looked good so i decided to keep it.

i tried to explain to her that as a jw, i wasn't allowed to grow one, but then drew a blank when she asked me why.

Hippies used them as a sign of rebellion and i guess it stuck

by Mad Sweeney in

if anybody can advise how to get the vid to show here, i'll edit this post.

Wonder if they will spin this as Jehovah disciplining them and now that he has they are better than ever.

Seems like an old chestnut they haven't pulled out in a while.

Not sure why the video isn't embedding. It seems like they usually just work when you paste in the link.

I wonder if it has to do with how you shared it on Youtube?

RC on CNN - Damn this is Damning!!!

even cnn has picked up the ongoing royal commission hearings.

Steve2 Yup, if there is a God he picked the perfect issue to use against them. Almost any other issue they could write off as them being different, but there's no spinning this one.

konceptual99 But does the GB have to be the ones to play the GT card? They have the RnF conditioned to see the GT around every corner.

I am wondering what happens if the general jw population sees this as part of the GT. What happens if God doesn't step in to save them from it.

"Davey and Goliath" contrasted with "Sophie and Caleb's" indoctrination. 1950s and 1960s Sunday Christian TV vs the Cult.

by The1975Blues in

"i do not mean by a christian any person who tries to live decently according to his lights.

i think that you must have a certain amount of definite belief before you have a right to call yourself a christian.

the word does not have quite such a full-blooded meaning now as it had in the times of st. augustine and st. thomas aquinas.

Not sure how your comments relate to the title but I used to watch Davy and Goliath all the time. Never realized it was religious till years later.

Are JWs trying to make dysfunctional kids and destroy their ability to live normal lives?

by C0ntr013r in

are jws trying to make dysfunctional kids that wont "fit" in normal society so they will "return to jehovah"?

because there have been many stories about young people who have been out in the world only to find how bad it was and how correct the org was.. a good jw kid with "good" jw parents will have many big issues, some examples:.

fear of demons (fear, misfit).

I've dealt with most of those things and it is still better than being a dub.
