  Told a JW about ARC in August, finally got a reply - Return to Jehovah booklet!!

  by Xanthippe in

  2. child-abuse

  so i've mentioned this friend of my husband's who started writing to me out of the blue about three years ago, decades after we d'aed.

  last august i wrote to her about the arc and jackson's summons.

  i gave her the website details so she could see for herself.

  XAN - Imteresting experience. Honestly, I don't think your friend is either smart or honest enough to realize what the ARC is even about. It had nothing to do with "a few bad apples." It had everything to do with the fact that the INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSE by Watchtower regarding abuse SUCKS.

  Personally, I expect this return to Jehovah nonsenseto get worse. Not only is there the booklet, but also the recent broadcasting episode.

  I haven't been in a KH in over a year, and all of a sudden, folks we're not even close to at the KH are asking my wife "how I am" (my wife still attends, with great displeasure. Family stuff)

  JWs have more good points than bad

  by lsw1961 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).

  2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.

  this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

  To any and all people who think there is "more good than bad" in JWs and who are "waiting on Jehovah". . . .

  I say: Go for it!

  IF I WERE STILL IN:

  Saturday morning at Starbucks hitting replay on a ChewyWitness.org video for four hours while I chat with "friends."

  Plus time-and-a half for weekends.

  It is paradise!

  Holy Grail of Free Energy Might be Possible

  by cofty in

  every chloroplast in every green leaf on planet earth is wonderfully efficient at absorbing energy from the sun.

  in combination with a complex protein enzyme h2o molecules are gently eased apart and combined with co2 to produce energy and oxygen.. a synthetic version of this process would make unlimited, clean cheap energy possible but it has so-far eluded chemical engineers.

  until now..... researchers at florida state university have discovered a method of using manganese oxide also known as birnessite to capture sunlight and then use that solar energy to create an oxidation reaction read more....

  For a moment there, I thought COFTY had started a cold fusion thread!

  Interesting stuff.

  One Year Later - A Thank You to Tony Morris.

  dear anthony morris, iii:.

  i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?

  one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.

  is prince still a jehovah witness?

  from the look of his new album, i think he has different ideas.

  it will be interesting to see how they deal with this.

  I believe you might find Prince standing next to a purple cart on some street corner in the Miineapolis/StPaul metro area.

  What kind of poster are you?

  a while ago someone posted a link to the flame warrior guide, it seeks to define some different types of posters.

  http://www.flamewarriorsguide.com/.

  i thought it might be fun and lighten the current mood to reveal which "warrior" is closest to your style, in your opinion.

  Which bible character do you hate the most?

  by Bonsai in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the more i think about it, the more i feel an extreme dislike for the apostle paul.

  he was on par with hitler in his treatment of the jews before he "saw the light".

  he replaced jesus teachings of love and mercy with a more legalistic, pharisaical concept of devotion to god.. any evil person can come to believe in god and worship him if the scales were literally and miraculously removed from his eyes.

  David.

  When still in, I used to tell my wife, If David were in our congregation, we would think he's the biggest a-hole on the planet and we would have nothing to do with him.

  How confident are you about various so called facts?

  by slimboyfat in

  no facts about the world are absolutely certain.

  that being the case i wonder how others would rank amd rate their confidence in various factual statements about the world.

  i am going to rate my confidence in ten items of "knowledge" as a percentage.
