  A sad, self tormented man who inflicted his detachment from society and its perspective, onto his children. Many here have experienced that inherited sadness and JW detachment from 'the world' too. It is nothing to celebrate, rather it is a shame he did not find heart, or society, before he passed. Let's hope his family do. Whenever a prophetic leader dies, the doctrine has to change, new light in dark times, it is a good time for seeds of doubt to be planted, lets hope the Phelps family soil is fertile.

  Troubling experience at 1 day assembly re: little jw child

  by williamhconley in

  just had my 1day assembly this weekend.

  an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.

  everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.

  Jesus H Christ..... That was not funny! That is a window into childhood brainwashing right there. They even short circuited the pavlovian fire bell responses!

  In honesty i don't believe the story for a second, just another made up story... Useful to make a point in a talk.

  The Birth of the Universe - Scientific Breakthrough

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  researchers working with a telescope at the south pole beleive they have glimpsed light from the first "trillionth of a trillionth of a tillionth" of a second after the big bang.. a lot of work has still to be done to confirm the findings, but if it holds up it is one of the biggest discoveries ever.. _________________________________________.

  ...inflation came with a very specific prediction - that it would be associated with waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space would leave an indelible mark on the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background.. the bicep2 team says it has now identified that signal.

  scientists call it b-mode polarisation.

  this is the last boe we will be able to provide.

  our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.

  we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.

  What a waste Flavia, working in a factory cleaning facilities with no pay.... or advancing human knowledge. You made the wrong desicion and I would bet my life you regret it every 6am when you hear the alarm for 'morning worship'.

  Just one more thing on the list that they are wrong about.

  People may not be leaving in droves, but are not as blind or dumb as they used to be. Let the WT, a religious org, keep saying education is a bad thing, every day they stand by that line they look more and more draconian.

  7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.

  i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.

  i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

  Governing body, listen up...I got my last exam result on friday, by Monday morning I had 320 job offers.

  I was assigned a Deanery in the UK, with a 100% guarantee of a job, in fact I have 320 jobs to choose from. All come with free accomodation for a year and a healthy wage of $60,000 approx, lastly 5 weeks of annual leave.

  Watchtower are wrong about a lot more than just the bible and science. Their life advice is literally not woth the paper it is written on.Get your kids into school and higher education! I don't write this with ego, I write it in pride, two huge proud middle fingers, right to the governing nobody!

  Higher Education

  my wife told me today that during a conversation with a relative on the phone recently, the relative said that someone in their congregation had been invited to take part in a branch extension in a foreign country.

  this young woman who had been asked to take part is a solid witness, though not a pioneer, but guess what?

  she is an architect!

  If she is in Ireland, I know who it is and she was actually encouraged to do it so as to be useful to the uk bethel.

  One aspect of evolution that does not make sense.....

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the part that does make sense are how bodies adapt over time to surroundings and use.

  for example because of eating habits changing, our jaws have become smaller and we don't need wisdom teeth.

  or the effect of the sun on our skin, etc.

  You are not comprehending the different terms.

  Go read up on three topics and come back. Until you do, you are just a child in a class arguing with the teacher that 2+2 does not = 4.

  -DNA mutations

  -Natural Selection

  -Evolution

  IF you do this, then you make evident you do actually want to know... and explaining it further will be easier for us.

  If you don't bother, which is likely, as you would have done it already, it is only one google away....if you dont, then stop wasting people's time.
