  the above is a fusion between the void (empty set zero with a slash through it) symbol and a drawing of a unicorn.

  Funny thing is that in an early paragraph it says "In 1993 a well known magazine". What magazine? Who was the publisher?

  LOL Fail.

  Before
  trusting it, ask: (1) Who published this
  material? What are the author’s credentials?
  (2) Whywas this published? What motivated
  the writer? Is there any bias? (3) Where
  did the author get the information? Does he
  supply sources that can be checked? (4) Is
  the information current? In the first century,
  the apostle Paul gave Timothy advice that
  applies with equal force today. Paul wrote:
  “Guard what is laid up in trust with you,
  turning away from the empty speeches that
  violate what is holy and from the contradictions
  of the falsely called ‘knowledge.’”
  —1 Tim. 6:20.

  Well...........on May 26, 1969, there was an article entitled, "What Future For Young." That article had statements such as, "If you're a young person, you need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this system of things." Another statement made in that article goes, "Therefore as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers." Gotta love it. Using their own criteria proves them to be full of it.

  Analysis: Did God Condone the Slave Trade

  by corpusdei in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is an analysis of an article published by the watchtower bible and tract society, entitled "did god condone the slave trade".

  of necessity (and partly because of my tendency to ramble) i do go beyond the article itself into a wider exploration of the subject matter in places.

  the article itself can be found on the wtbts website, here, and a pdf version can be found here.

  I mentioned on another thread that I've been wondering lately whether God was directly or indirectly responsible for racism, prejudice, and slavery. If you're to believe the Tower of Babel account with Nimrod and the confusing of the languages story, then God was the originator of "divide and conquer" via His actions during that time. Then He condoned not only divide and conquer, but slaughter to the point of genocide, and then systematic slavery. Makes you wonder sometimes........

  they were affectionately called christendom cars.

  you know, the 2 door coupes that the friends had to struggle to get in and out of the back seat, out in service.

  was it you, or did you do the spiritually respnosible thing and drive the 4 door sedan?.

  It was always so unbelievably embarrassing when we would park and the van doors would hurl open and about 10 people of every color, size and age would all fall out with their little territory card, bible, pencils and back call slips. What a comical sight for all the neighbors who were scurrying to close blinds, lock doors and hide as fast as possible.

  I just got a visual of that LOL. It's funny as I've never taken into consideration what the householders see when we get out of the van.

  My father whom I get closer to the older the both of us get, shares with me things that he doesn't even discuss with my mother whom he loves dearly. He's always telling me things like, "Miz, take care of your mother when I'm gone." He aint going nowhere anytime soon, just being melodramatic, but its cute I guess in a manly way. One thing he tells me and my brother is to, "look out for yourself, Miz. Cuz they don't give a darn about you." The "they" he's referring to is this organization, and usually when he says this its after we discuss something hypocritical by nature in this organization such as Governing Pope-esque Body, or Circuit Overseers and their new cars, apartments and all that jazz. The conversations with my father are usually like clockwork in that the older he gets, what he's going to say next is predictable. Usually after telling me to look out for myself, he laughs with me cynically, stating, "It was all crap, Miz! They told me when I in my twenties, its right around the corner! LOL, It was all crap!! Meanwhile all the same white brothers who were telling us not to send our kids to college, were sending their kids to college. They looked out for their own, and I'm telling you now Miz, look out for yourself first because they don't give a darn about you."

  The cognitive dissidence is still present however, as not even 5 minutes later he'll bring up an example of being sure we don't murmer against Jehovah's chosen representatives. I bothers the heck out of me, because he's this close, and I mean this close to embracing the fact that these men are not who they say they are. In harmony with this thread, it took the nonsense like what the WT wrote in this Awake and the 40-50 years he's been in this organization to realize they're full of crap.

  How to dimantle a human being.

  by eruption in

  2. friends

  most of us posters who are here at the moment cant have failed to notice philidephia ponos got a kicking, the guy had a legitamate point, re elders and ms who are still in and who post here.

  what was his crime ?

  he had the temerity to lable them as hypocrites, which they are.. later on jlp brought pps previous difficultys to light, a fact most posters here were probably ignorant off.. anyway that guy got such a shafting for telling the truth about what happens here, personally i think he should be applauded, because he demonstrated courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, which should help him with dealing with his difficultys in his work place, if he can cope with the adversities he has experienced here, he will have no problems in dealing with his (secular) workplace.. i have only been here for 8 weeks, and within that short timeframe i already see the group dynamics of our time at jwn unfold, i see alliances being forged, the subtle use of language and samantics as posters here seek advantage and seniority, and want to adopt common ground, to advance themselves as leaders and spokesman, this mirrors my 13 years of being a jw, it seems to me that ex elders and servants display the same characteristics, they employed as jw,s and expect them to work here, which they do.doesnt say a lot about jwn.. anyway a young guy, still learning the ropes, gets anhilated here its not much of a recomendation to post is it, ?.
