WTC Destruction a Mild Preview of Armageddon

by mikepence in

yesterday's horrific destruction of the world trade center left me speechless and in tears.

yet, faithful jw's view such a horrible tragedy as minor when compared to the horrible destruction that their god will rain down on mankind any day now.. i challenge any faithful jw to explain to me how they will watch the *entire world* come to a similar fiery end, and then *rejoice* at the vindication of god's name.

will you be telling people out in field service how you view such horrible destruction as a good thing?.

The JW mindset is sick. They *hope* to see the entire world end in a similar way. This is what they have been hoping for since the late 1800's. I only regret that more people are not privvy to how totally fucked up these people are. I know because I used to struggle with those same views.

Trust me, the victims and families of this horrible tragedy don't *want* the sympathy of a religion that views their loved ones as *fortunate* because they died before Armageddon, so maybe they will get resurrected.

What do we have to do to bring this sick religion to an end?

Atheism after the Watchtower mindfuck is common.

My problem with Atheism is that, in some ways, it plays along with theism. Let me explain.

The reality that we perceive, the sky, the earth, people around us, the weather, is tangible, by definition. It is real, we can touch it, see it, smell it. When we look into the sky, we do not see a Big Man in the sky. We see clouds, the reflection of blue in the sky, a bird, a plane maybe, but no Big Guy.

That is all that we know for sure.

The question of whether there is a God, angels, Tooth Fairies, honest politicians, etc. is purely a theoretical one, since we know of no way to concretely prove or disprove such things. These are arguments about nothing except our own personally embraced belief systems. They can neither be proven, nor disproven.

So, how can one be a theist or an atheist, since neither can be proven?

What we do know is that there are tremndous forces and powers in our universe, which we are beginning to see as a much more organic place than we used to think. Since we are human, we *project* our image onto many things. We personify emotions, ambitions, etc. Simply, we describe things in human terms, because that is what we have as a frame of reference. To assume that the greates powers in the universe are somehow humanlike is the height of arrogance and ethnocentricity. To say that we project human-like features onto the unknown to put our mind at ease would be much more realistic.

Peace and love,
Mike

http://www.cnn.com/2001/world/asiapcf/south/09/04/mother.theresa.exorcism/index.html .

apparently mother theresa believed that she was being attacked by the devil.

this article really shows just how superstitious the catholic church is...something that comes into the jw organization with their large number of catholic converts.. most of the supposedly annointed jw's i know were formerly catholic.

Ever notice that JW's fall for marketing scams?

i remember that many jw's were falling for amway scams here in the us.

one of amway's latest scams was quixtar, some internet online mall that is a complete rip-off.

quixtar even used cult-like language, making up new words.

Mighty Auto Parts is Witness owned and operated. And, like most JW owned/operated schemes, including Bethel, the employees are treated like crap and overworked! Let's go New System...not!

I know of many JW Window Washers. The one I know who works on skyscrapers is also a raging alcoholic! So, yes, many sky scrapers are being washed by drunk JW's swinging from a harness.

And no, Spiderman is not interested!

Hello all. Long time no post. Life is good. Kudos on this board, it is much better than that Other Board with its Fucked Up Participation Policy thing.

This Ickes guy is a quack. I think I heard Rush Limbaugh quote him once. Maybe that was some White house guy, Harold Ickes.

Anyway, check out these sites:
