  Star Of Bethlehem To Appear July 3, 2015? Oh Really?

  this meeting in the sky is known as a conjunction.

  this conjunction between jupiter and venus usually isnt rare, but this is the closest they will have been in 2,000 years!

  together, they create the rare star of bethlehem.

  How many JW Families do you know of who hate each other and shun each other? "Religion of Hatred" 1.a

  by The1975Blues in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you were attending the kingdom halls did you see feuds and hate filled wars against members working on the new personality?

  how strong were the elders in keeping their halls filled with love not hatred, jesus said everyone would be filled with love, there was no room for hatred in jesus christ's view of how christians ought to act!

  when you see children shunning parents, parents shunning children, aunts, uncles, grandma and grandpas displaying qualities jesus said were "instant tickets to hell" why do the jws keep attending the meetings if their filled with hate?

  PaintedToeNail2 minutes agoThere is a prominent family in the Poconos, Pennsylvania that sued each other in court over the farm land they owned jointly. The mother and one son suing the other son. It made the local paper. It was withing the last 15 years.

  And yet they dont want child molestation discussed because it brings reproach on the Org?

  The last time that this event occurred, it was said that the holy spirit of Christ came to the planet in an incarnation of a young newborn baby boy. Many on the internet are in wild debate and discussion about what this star means, or what meaning they can extract from it, at the very least.

  Possible reasons why the WTBTS is more irrelevant than ever

  by JakeM2012 in

  this short video has interesting statistics (without any citations or references available) i.e.

  "there are 5.9 billion searches on google",...."to whom were these questions asked bg (before google)?".

  "time it took to reach a market audience of 50 million?

  So since they put great store by all their pictures "saying" stuff....what is the above picture saying? Is that telling us who they consider more important by how they are seated?

  Governing Body TV

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, the holy, holy, holy governing body(tm) are on tv and very much to be worshipped (like rock stars).. do you think there will come a time when the jws won't have public talks (as an example), and rely totally on the tele evengelism from the gb?

  i say this because a public speaker used to be offered travelling expenses when visiting a different kingdom hell.

  either the popes will stop this, it already has been stopped.

  As far as I know visiting speakers arent compensated with actual money but there is almost always an arrangement to offer hospitality.

  This gets to be quite the circus at times!

  Some friends just dont want to or are busy. So they end up "paying" for a meal and sending their stand in to do the deed. So now instead of just paying for the speaker and his family, they pay for the stand in also.

  All just because they want/need to not take their turn.

  Others handle it as a Service group which means they gather at the house of one in the group and all bring a dish. This is exhausting and a lot of work for the sister lucky enough to be the one whose home its in and they gripe endlessly about it but do it because they feel its "for Jehovah".

  Either way it amounts to a sizable sum of money and a total waste of 2 or 3 hours of your time with someone you may or may not have wanted to meet (the speaker).

  Its the business lunch from hell and you cant write it off on your expense account.

  Very strange how it all shakes out.

  My siblings are all super spiritual. One at Patterson. Other a missionary, others serving in special assignments.

  Then one who is openly gay and DFd

  and me...

  I was unofficially shunned for not completely cutting off the gay sibling. Now that I am inactive by their terminology, they are split between being in a panic over what to "do" with me and upping the shunning and disapproval level.

  At no point has there been any love or just a simple honest conversation.

  A lot of over achievers but not really achieving much when you look at it are we?

  On the Relevancy of The Institutionalization of Sin

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  child murder, sodomy & corrupting the human genome are not new sins, they are old ones.

  what is new is their institutionalization.

  but even that isn't totally new.

  steve215 minutes agoI like Perry's threads - as said earlier, he never disappoints and it helps posters clarify their views on topics that often evoke more heat than light. Best of all, Perry's a little on the less-strident side than some who share his literalist views. He also comes across as a decent man, which I think is reflected in posters' responses. There are vigorous exchanges of view but not the personal hits seen in some threads. The humor's weird but great too.

  All good to know steve, thank you.

  Ok then....maybe I will go back to page one and take a look!

  oppostate has it right.

  I have to think that this is making the 30 and 40 something JWs SO happy. They have so little to be proud of in the religion and this gives them official sanction to play with gadgets and use technology.

  I think that it wont dawn on them how late to the party the Org is.

  Rather I imagine if feels like "new territory" for a tired religion.
