I've had plenty of psychic events in my life. when i was 7 i saw a local lottery number in my head and told my mother to play it, she played it and won. i've seen many things before they happen. i've engaged in telepathy with another person and so on. in my experience no matter what you tell yourself, you can't master these powers for your own purposes, they are always driven by an exterior force, and that is why i do not pursue this. if i could master them for my own purposes i surely would :P . i know practitioners ....i had a gnostic casting spells on me before, very interesting, i didn't ask him, but he was apparently eager to have sex with me...that however was not gonna happen. so not to say that they can't be used for your own purposes, but i do not believe that they can be "mastered" for your own purposes. i'm not much of a team player i guess.

This was something that I noticed often...but i always thought of it as one of the few good things about the organization. you would have families with adult children getting together with other families with adult children, and everyone was friends....i have a few good memories surrounding those types of circumstances.....almost seems surreal now, because nobody gets along with anyone anymore. wives don't like their husbands, husbands don't like their wives, parents don't like their kids, uncles/grandparents? they may as well be distant acquaintances now.....

prodigalson: you are obviously intelligent. i find your castigating of "talking snakes" and "magic trees" interesting though, because you seem to be into this gnostic spiritual knowledge, which isn't really far from that is it? I'm not trying to sh%t on you, i'm just interested to know how that balances out with you. on the one hand the castigating, but on the other hand yet again erecting a new spiritual magic?

The current purpose of the JW Corporation
by cptkirk ini think it can simply be summed up as this: to prop up as many sociopaths as possible.
the great irony being that the core principle of christianity was supposed to be empathy, and the core symptom of someone suffering from sociopathy is the inability to even comprehend the word empathy.
we've got the beast preaching brotherly love, and the church preaching burn thy neighbor lol, wtf???

what you said gopher is dead on the money. the problem is, they tell everyone that they are the chosen of god and are no part of the world, when in fact, they are not only part of the world, in many cases they are giving the world a run for it's money in terms of psycho/socio-pathy. the absolute embodiment of the spirit of flesh. no part of it? they are the fkn head of it lol.

Revelation 14:3 Who sings the new song???????
by label licker inin society's revelation book chapter 29 verse 10 on page 201 states the 24 elders are 144,000 and all are singing the same song, how can that be?
in their bible the only ones that can master that song is the 144,000. not the four living creatures nor the elders.
this 144,000 group is standing before the 24 elders.

I can just picture a single mom with a daughter that was just diagnosed with leukemia, DO YOU KNOW THE SONG????

SING THE SONG GO GOGOGOGOG EVERLASTING LIFE , what was it that they used to do? tear the garments? i'm going to tear my garments and sing the song of the anointed because I AM SAVED ! SATAN WANTS YOU ALIVE!!!! that is what an elder's wife told me, satan wants me alive lololol.

Should Jehovah's Witnesses be added to the Wikipedia article on Doomsday Cults?
by jwfacts inthere is discussion of doomsday cults at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/doomsday_cult, and much of it aligns closely with watchtower predictions and behaviour, so i was wondering why jehovah's witnesses are not mentioned.
here are some quotes from the article:.
doomsday cult is an expression used to describe groups who believe in apocalypticism and millenarianism, and can refer both to groups that prophesy catastrophe and destruction, and to those that attempt to bring it about.

I think people generally know that Jdubs aren't overall into gun ownership, and as long as that is the case, there are just too many other fish to fry, for now. Their anti violence and general anti gun stance will keep them from being technically defined as a cult, even though they are. it would be clear that there was too much personal animus if they were "technically defined" as such, at this point in time. be careful not to hand your enemies leverage against you by over-stepping. I can cut down the biggest jdubs right now like minced meat, why? because we are on the defensive and they are the aggressor....as long as that angle is secure, they fall like dead wood. if the balance gets pushed too hard at the wrong time, then leverage can be lost.

Was jehovah/yahweh/god the first to commit an abortion?!
by OneDayillBeFree injust caught this in today's watchtower!
while the wtb&ts is going on about all of david's sins and how god was being a "god of love" and showing forgiveness to his servants, (keyword: his= only jehovah's witnesses) i decided to go ahead and start reading the whole story about what really happened.
so then i stumbled upon 2 samuel 12:15&18 .

I never really got the whole "you reap what you sow" thing, yet if you actually read the bible, it's always the offspring paying the price for the sins of the fathers lol. just make it up as you write it i love it.

The balance of the universe
by cptkirk ini just wanted to put a few minor examples out there of what i was saying about crime (good/bad), balance in the world, and so forth, picking up from the post that i wrote on here a few days ago.. i want to just also say that i am not condoning crime, nor advocating crime or anything of the sort.
i am merely saying let's look at the world, and understand it a little better.. i was just listening to megadeth (former jw dave mustaine lead singer of course)....i love his music, and i think he is really talented.
imagine if no crime had been committed against dave though.

ok let me try one more time to really point out the core of what i'm saying (because there are side points) but the main thing is this: many times as we evolve as humans we go through periods of increased evolution (bursts)....there are many factors that contribute, but one factor is in the way we think.
sometimes we do not realize that we work from a premise (theoretical premise) in our minds of "what if": what if i win the lottery, what if i invent something that changes the world, what if science learns how to stop aging in my life time, we have many what ifs in our mind, and we may not realize it, but they actually shape a good portion of our outlook in general. we think to ourselves based on what if, and we quarterback our lives in a fantasy of what ifs, that actually does effect our mindset, because it gives us deeper vision into life (a way to experience without experiencing).
in this context, what if we do not realize that we make assumptions, and these assumptions guide a lot more of our conscious mind than we think. what if we were to find ourselves in a "new system" only to realize down the line that all we are is a creation of a god who just wants us to boost his ego? do you know anyone that could live with that? is that moral? is it moral to go along with this just so that you can say "well he gave me this or that so..." what does that make us? users? what if your mother told you to worship her, and you lost all natural feeling for her because she became so bizarre? but you were a kid and said well she makes me food and drives me to school so i guess i'll just do this?
if we are to love god in a natural way the same way we love our mothers....don't we have to know him to some extent? does this make the entire world of religion intrinsically immoral? i mean the bible even says who can know the mind of god? (in other words nobody can is what it is saying).
again, it's all theoretical, it's saying "ok i will believe for a minute and see what happens", and works from that premise.
if you can't know god, yet are required to worship him, is this not innately immoral?

want to stress the fact that i'm not looking at this from a moral standpoint. simply a scientific standpoint which sets up the equation and says: here is your impetus for all the greatest things in society, and then on the flip side, god's supposed new world will do away with all of that (or maybe even the infinite agencies on earth now)...so then what is the scientific equation for what happens next? that is fine, you can go swimming and biking and be with your family, there are 8 billion people on earth though......actually there you go, look at some of these really far out there places where people still live in tribes and wear bamboo on their penis and pull their lips down to their naval......is that what we are without the impetus that we have? lol
