How Satan has helped the WT

by joey jojo in

satan is the number one enemy of gods chosen ones a.k.a.

the jw's.. as far as they are concerned, this whole world belongs to the devil and is designed by him to make life hard for true christians.

with that in mind, why has satan made it easier than ever before to preach the good news?

10 or 12 year old child? 🤔

Its as if its a blessing to lose all 10 children and everything you own. Maybe Job lived long enough to have more kids and a good life but what about his kids, who weren't quite so lucky because of a bet between god and satan?

Here it is directly from My book of bible stories:

‘He is faithful,’ Satan argued, ‘because you bless him and he has many good things. But if you take these away, he will curse you.’

So Jehovah said: ‘Go ahead. Take them away. Do all the bad things you want to Job. We will see if he curses me. Only be sure that you do not kill him.’

First, Satan had men steal Job’s cattle and camels, and his sheep were killed. Then he killed his 10 sons and daughters in a storm. Next, Satan struck Job with this terrible sickness. Job suffered very much. That is why Job’s wife told him: ‘Curse God and die.’ But Job would not do it. Also, three false friends came and told him he had lived a bad life. But Job kept faithful.

This made Jehovah very happy, and afterward he blessed Job, as you can see in the picture. He healed him from his sickness. Job had 10 more beautiful children, and twice as many cattle, sheep and camels as he had before.

Web based applications across multiple platforms means anyone armed with a smartphone -and these days that means pretty much everyone, can now access the abundant spiritual feast provided by the hard working slave. You don't even require a JW to knock at your door.

Video presentations, an online bible library, WT publications library, fancy new songs in almost any genre that turns you on - except heavy metal and rap of course- all available at the press of a button. You can even donate online to show your appreciation for the amazing abundance.

Without Satan and his world full of higher education, encouraging people to learn skills that can actually help the human race, none of this would be possible.

Not invited to congregation “get togethers”. They finally said it

by solomon in

friends

we don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.

we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.

we go in service at least once a month.

When I hit my teenage years I stated to notice the divisions in the cong.

Doing your best just isn't good enough if you aren't at least doing the average.

Even if you are a genuine dub, you can be treated like this and then they will still put it all on you if you withdraw because of the lack of genuine love. It's another way to control minds and behaviour.

However, if you are a newly interested person, congregation members will literally line up to spread your butt cheeks apart and stick their tongue in as far as they can, just signal their virtue to everyone else.

What scripture or scriptures did the cult use to imply animals vegetarian?

by Crazyguy2 in

when i was a kid they implied that all animals and humans were vegetarian before the flood but i don’t know the scriptures they used, anyone know?

.

joey jojo

You only need to take one look at a lion or tiger to see they are designed for one thing, catching and tearing warm blooded mammals to pieces. Cats have to eat meat to survive, they literally cannot eat plants long term and survive.

If this was different before the flood, then that means God changed creatures from their original designs. This would imply that God worked during his own, self- imposed sabbath, which then raises more questions.

The sky is falling- maybe

by joey jojo in

i am actually not a 'sky is falling' guy, but i wanted to comment on the australian bushfires.. you may or may not believe the science behind global warming, however i personally put more faith in verified, scientific data than the words of fat cat, self-serving politicians.

climate science has predicted, based on data, that we will see more prolonged, extreme weather events, higher average temperatures, rising sea levels due to ocean expansion and glacial melting.

and this is exactly whats happening.

Australia's capital Canberra just broke its record high, it was 48c. That's happening all over australia. A cold snap in the local area means very little in comparison to average temps.

Nonjwspouse,

You are right, co2 levels have risen and fallen in a natural cycle and we have charted almost 1 million years worth of data thanks to the gas trapped in ice core samples.

But the problem is, for at least the last million years, co2 has never risen past 300 parts per million. That changed in the 1950's, coincidentally as the world started to scale up industry in the post ww2 boom. That decade saw the rise of coal fuelled power stations, commercial air travel and of course, everyone started owning cars.

Since that decade, co2 levels have kept climbing and are now close to 400 parts per million, a 30% rise in about 70 years.

Climate scientists have for years predicted a rise is average temps, a rise is sea levels and more intense weather systems, which is now measurable and observable.

I personally find it hard to believe that human industrial activity since 1950's coinciding with the increase in co2 levels by 30% in only 70 years is nothing but pure coincidence.

atomant, not sure if you live in Australia, but I know how hot it is where I live and we experience heat waves every year, I don't need to verify with the bureau of meteorology when I see the temperatures on a thermometer with my own eyes every day and walk outside and feel the heat.

I know about the water usage and water control, and that is being mis-directed to mega corps in some cases, but that isn't the whole story. Lack of rainfall is the issue. No rain, prolonged, extreme temperatures equals dried out vegetation.

Bushfires and high temps aren't new, but this is different.
