  Hello New World: JW.org prepares for the Long Haul In the Old World

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the prominently displayed text in the home page on jw.org is (predictably) matthew 24:14. but you do not have to be too keen-eyed to see something pivotal missing from the shortened verse.

  it omits perhaps the most important part of the verse (well, important for an end-times religion).. this is how it reads on jw.org: "this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth.".

  this is how it reads in the bible (nwt): "this good news of the kingdgom will be preached in all the inhabited earth and then the end will come.".

  this week's wt study

  i conducted the wt study tonight on higher education.

  i wondered what the reaction of the bros and sis would be.

  there was no deviation from the idea that a university education is not a good idea.

  I began reading this piece of complete shit article and I believe my blood pressure instantly spiked.

  Wait until their donations dry up because their undereducated membership can't afford to put food on their tables.

  10 Years out of the JW Organization- What I've Learned ( For what it's Worth)

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  10 years ago i stopped attending jehovah's witness meetings for good.

  walked out of the kingdom hall cold turkey never to return based on injustices i observed among others and myself at the hands of elders giving out not god's counsel but personal opinions as counsel .

  some of them weren't even giving out wt society counsel- just personal opinions.

  Is there an official name for this comedic device?

  by Island Man in

  1. social
  2. humour

  is there an official name for the comedic device where one replaces one word with another word having a similar pronounciation but a different (usually derisive) meaning?.

  for example, some skeptics deride the bible by spelling it "buy-bull".

  same or simliar pronounciation but entirely different meaning.

  after waking up and wanting to get out of this nightmare, the word apostate is really bothering me.

  I was given the option NOT to take one of my finals since I already have something like a 110% grade in that class. Pretty cool!

  Best of luck to everyone out there!
