  2014: do you see Witnesses ramping up activity? What will the aftermath be in 2015?

  by JimmyPage in

  jw's often say they don't serve with any dates in mind.

  but the fact is many of them can't fathom why the end just hasn't come yet.

  since 2014 marks 100 years of invisible rule many witnesses can't help but think this has some special meaning.

  They are watching the orgsnisation slow down more than EVER, why would they decide now to speed up their voluntary work? In a recession, tired and poor. Any excuse for a break and they will hop onto it. i would be amazed to hear JW's were more active out of their own assumption about dates.

  don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be suprised if some higher up's have fed the idea that this is an important year and some JW's may be responding to that. But I doubt that is a very overt opinion in Watchtower, after all. When 2015 does come around, it is just another dissapointmemt for 7 million people....

  "oh darn it, the global genocide still hasn't come...!"

  How Do You Come to Terms with Being Just One of the 7 Billion?

  being a jw makes one feel special, no doubt.

  when i found out ttatt i realized i'm not special at all.

  i'm just one of the other 7 billion human beings who will live and die being nobody, the world will forget about them (and i'm not talking about relatives and friend), they didn't make anything special in their life, they didn't change the course of history, were not famous nor rich, didn't invent facebook, google or anything awesome, didn't have an article published in newscientist, had no imdb profil, not even a wiki page, didn't write a book etc.

  No longer just a sheep, the world is yours to mould and change as YOU see fit.... You can do and be anything you want, this is as far from depressong as possible. The problem is, you have yet to realise what is possible in the real world, you are stillbasing your assumptions on a Watchtower perspective of the world.

  Think of all the umans that have existed on the earth, going back over 250,000 years.... How do you think they, we,...all got on without being a follower of 8 window cleaners in a Brooklyn factory?

  it's because shat they told you....is a lie.....

  Physics: What are your thoughts on life in the 4th,5th,and higher dimensions?

  if you do a little research there are many physics forums, discussions, and books about this.

  it's a bit challenging to grasp but it's very interesting.

  if there is life on this higher dimensions, they could see us yet we would be unable to see them.

  Some people would rwther spend their time arguing than educating themselves.

  ask yourself why?

  these people dont want to learn..... And that is why it is best to leave them to it,

  Lies taught by the GB about ....Life, Worldy people & apostates

  the governing body not only lies to it's members about their true history but also about life itself, worldly people and former members.. here are some of those lies that come to my mind.. .

  "jw's are the happiest people on earth" -.

  fact: depression, anxiety, fear of punishment, paranoia, is what jw's live with every day.

  Ambition and pride and independent thinking are seen as positive everywhere but Watchtower land.

  They really didn't tell us much of anything true did they.

  Life is great outside the cold, dark, cruel pit that is watchtower.

  "You atheists..." ??

  i'm getting tired of this cheap, lazy, ignorant labeling. You think because we add one more god to the list than you, that we don't believe in, you think that makes us that different?

  Grow up.

  Any phrase, term, sentence... where more than one person is reffered to as 'x' is a huge big sign witn 'ignorant' written on it, pointing at the person spewing it.

  A medieval question for you, if you believe in god....

  by snare&racket in

  many ancient believers of god used cognition to 'think' their way from belief to atheism.

  what initially seems a silly question to reason over, can actually destroy a whole theology.. here is a question made famous by 'saint' thomas aquinas, believers in a almighty god with unlimited ability, please have a think about this..... the omnipotence paradox:.

  "could an omnipotent being create a stone so heavy that even he could not lift it?

  I remember reading some H.G. Wells when i left WT and was amazed to find terminology and references found in WT Lit.

  I looked up the terms and words and they turned out to be masonic and wiccan in nature.

  I can't remember exactly how far I researched it, but I believe Russell was pals with poet Keats and Wells had a connection to them too. All of them used this masonic terminology in reference to a better world.
