Little Thought for Lurkers, oringinal sin?

by Diogenesister in

just one little thought....adam & eve ate the fruit from the tree "of the knowledge of good & evil".

so..in other words, before they ate they did not know right from wrong...hmmmm so how can you blame someone who does not know right from wrong?.

for a crime to take place in human law you must have the act - 'actus reus' - and the guilty mind or 'mens rea' as it is termed.

That'll be the old "free will" cop-out.

Are we participants in this forum because of bouts of "loneliness"?

by Wonderment in

i wonder how many of us here hold on to this meeting place out of "loneliness.

could it be that we harbor feelings of "abandonment" and "loneliness" from being left cold and dry by the wt people and our families?

perhaps we do have a need to reach out to people with similar experiences.

I am not on here because I am lonely. I was lonely when I was in the cult.

My letter to Bethel about the flood

by Cornbread in

i've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.

it's been almost a decade since i've been out and i don't care at this point who knows.

that being said, here's a letter that i'm mailing to bethel.

As I have mentioned in another post,my 55-year-old dub brother still believes firmly that the only reason the rainbow is in the sky is because of god's promise. Nothing could possibly convince him otherwise. Nothing.

The org is so worried about reproaching the name of God but they do more to reproach it the almost any other religion.

WT is a human rights violator according to the definition of state.gov and USA law - time for us to start putting pressure in lawmakers!

by EndofMysteries in

religious freedom taken from http://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/irf/religiousfreedom/index.htm#wrapper.

quotingdirectly from the article...."it is the responsibility of governments to safeguard universal human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the right to life and the freedom of conscience, belief, practice, worship, and to explain and change ones faith.........people cannot enjoy religious freedom unless they have both the right to express their beliefs freely and change their religion without facing persecution, violence, or discrimination.... (ask yourself if the wt article i'm quoting next is allowing the freedom to change religion without discrimination and persecution.

so with that being said.....is the wt protecting religious freedom?

My brother's best friend committed suicide because he was disfellowshipped. The story is too long to relate because I am at work but when I have the time I will post it.

what is the ontlogical trinity

by piledriver in

the trnity to me means the true nature of god essence,attributes each person of the trinity is equal the father the son and the holly spirit all share the devine nature ie three persons of the godhead are all equal in power ,glory and wisdom john 10:30.jesus and his father god are one meaning of the same nature mathew 28.19 jesus said all to be baptised in the name of the father and of the son and the holly ghost reprissenting 3 persons of the godhead to wellcome the devine trinity into your soul .

I prefer the Greek Orthodox doctrine of Christ Pantokrator,represented in icons as all three simultaneously. Still gibberish though and the reason that the orthodox side split from Rome in the 13th century.

My chump of a foster brother (in his mid fifties) still believes firmly that the rainbow is only in the sky because god put it there.

Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter

by James Jack in

just got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.

they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

Isn't it ironic that JDubs are the most judgmental people of all? You all know what I am talking about!

by macys in

matthew 7:1-5. do not judge, or you too will be judged.

2 for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

Warren Wilson

There was one of several batty old broads in our congregation who used to go around telling people that they had"lost the mark on their forehead. This used to impress my batty old foster mother until I asked,"how does she know and what implications does such a judgmental attitude have for her own mark?" Shit stirrer.

know

I love astronomy!!! It's the coolest!!

by DATA-DOG in

too bad it blows the gb's dogma of a 6,000 year old human race out of the water, as does science in general.

lol!!

ancient structures were often built to align with celestial bodies.

A Mormon tried to explain away radio carbon dating to me by saying that everything ages faster under water,meaning that the flood made all those fossils seem older than they are. I just walked away.
