  reading a life time of WT literatrash = College education

  by Free!! in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  or at least that's what my super jw ex-roommate told me when i try to have an adult discussion w her about the importance of a higher education... according to her (a girl that never finished hs because it was not necessary) she has a better education than any college graduate because the jehovah has used the borg literatrash to teach her many many important things.... she says her knowledge of the "truth" is the equivalent of my 4 years of college education..... .

  .

  is there a cure for stupid???!!

  sciencedaily (june 30, 2011) modern humans never co-existed with homo erectus -- a finding counter to previous hypotheses of human evolution -- new excavations in indonesia and dating analyses show.

  Rank and File. It is a reference to the foot soldiers of the Watchtower, as opposed to ranking officers.

  Thank you, that makes sense. We call em the footsoldiers in Dutch.

  If JW's had not claimed to have the truth

  by FlyingHighNow in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have you ever thought about your perceptions of the wtbts, how they would have differed had they not been spouting, "we have the truth!

  " every other sentence?

  if they had never said, "are you 'in the truth?'.

  Personally, it would not have mattered to me. The whole self-congratulatory attitude of JWs never impressed me anyway. If they didn't claim to have the absolute truth, all that would have happened I think was that I would've realized the Christian god does not exist sooner. I care about truth above all else, after all.

  I decided not to go to the IFB church I been attending

  by andys in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been going to an ifb baptist type church for about past 3 months, i started going in march and have decided to quit going, need advice on how to send them a letter i don't want to go anymore, its a soulwinning, king james onlyism type church, wow are they ever putting pressure on me to be in church every time the doors are open, i explain to them that i work alot of overtime, have my own home to take care of, also i have my ham radio hobby that i am involved in and also like to do volunteer type work, since i been missing alot of church every sunday i get a phone call from the pastor on why i wasn't in church, now i am to the point where i don't even answer my phone anymore when they call, but wow the pressure, its very irritating how legalistic church attendance for certain churches has gotten.. .

  on the other hand i have decided that i still want to go to some sort of church, for a very short time in februiary i was going to a communicty type church where everyone is wearing something different, i noticed that alot of people wear blue jeans, even the pastor wears blue jeans, also its a non denominational type church that has alot of volunteer opportunities which i love doing, i have decided to go back to the non denomminational type church since i don't feel no pressure there.. .

  The mark of the beast is a barcode.

  ---

  Oh yes, I know that urban legend. They say it is because if you look at the number six on an EAN-13 barcode, you'll see it's two thin lines. And the lines at the beginning, the middle and the end of the barcode are also two thin lines. THAT'S 666! GASP!

  What they do not (want to) know is that a number in a barcode consists of 7 bits in binary for the actual numbers (six being 0000101, where 1 is black and 0 is white) and the guard bars (the beginning, middle and end) have only three bits (101).

  Here's a picture to look at.

  a SIMPLE answer re: 607 please

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know it's a complicated topic, and i've spent gobs and gobs of hours studying it and realizing that 586/587 is the most likely date.

  so anyway, here's my question:.

  how could jerusalem's fall be 587 but still be in line with the scriptures about 70 years of desolation that the wto uses to push 607 so strongly?

  I don't understand the question, really. I mean...

  How could Jerusalem's fall be 587 but still be in line with the scriptures about 70 years of desolation that the WTO uses to push 607 so strongly?

  ---

  The answer is that the WTO made it all up for their doomsday prophecies. I don't see how you can go around in circles with this. Alternative answer: The bible is full of shit anyway. Why give it any more credence than it deserves?

  What made you leave "The Truth"?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me it was many things.

  most concerned certain teachings that invloved genders, children, sex, sexuality and sexual orientations, disfellowshipping, apostates, blood, rape, and few other things, as well as the jw's unloving attitude toward so many people..

  The short version is that I had a question: "What if we're wrong about what we believe?" The answer was: "Then we have to wait for Jehovah to correct it." That opened up a can of worms in my head, and it took me a few days to become sound of mind. (That is, to drop religion - especially something ridiculous such as Christianity - like the steaming pile of shit it is.)

  What was something that you loved but were denied as a JW?

  by Chemical Emotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i could go on and on about all the things i loved, but i'll keep it brief and just mention one, rather trivial thing: music.

  i love grunge and punk, and occasionally heavy metal, and can't listen to a lot of it as a witness..
