i'm sick of this.
when you show a jw the fallacy of their organization (on the rare occasion they don't get the forcefield up in time), they'll retort with something as assinine as.
'yes....but jehovah's witnesses are the nearest thing to the 'truth' there is!'.
The truth about what exactly?
A schizo-psychopathic Alien humanoid from the planet Alcyone sending his son to pick a group of men to constantly get things wrong and enslave a group of people through mind control?
Yep, definitely nearest to the truth about that if it's your thing...
it's very informative and friendly.
i love it.
thanks, jwn!
I love it too! I just wish some rich apostate would donate some money to upgrade it!!!!... a "like" or star and flag format would be awesome! as far as the people and the content you really can't beat it....
in the book mankind's search for god, the wt says the following:.
the oldest portion of the bible predates all of the world's other religious writings.
- chapter 1, paragraph 27.. .
as far as how they would defend this nonsense... I imagine it to be some nonsense similiar to this... http://jcsm.org/BibleLessons/Originality1.htm ...

The Sumerian creation myths predate the Genesis account.... along with a few others.... http://www.google.com/search?q=do+the+sumerian+creation+myths+predate+genesis&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe= .. I guess if they don't consider paganism a religion this might be true... lmao
on second thought maybe they are hinting @ what Genesis really is... a conglomeration of different texts written and edited by different men throughout time... with it's origins in the forgery of egyptian, babylonian and sumerian texts...
naaahhhhh.... just wishful thinking on my part....
the first time i heard this song it just sang to my soul... i immediately made the connection to jehovah's witnesses... i heard he studied @ one time... it would make sense, since he's a seeker, that he would want to know what they had to say... i don't know for sure if it's true or not... but when you look at the words of this song it's pretty friekin' obvious to me that this is an epic slam on the dogma of the twooth and how the experience affected him... then again it could just be my interpretation... the funny thing is he's one of the few mainsteam artists that i hear witnesses talk about in a positive light... what do you think?.

i heard this old story before.
@jj123- I definitely know what you mean in finding peace in not knowing... I just couldn't imagine carrying around the weight of having to defend that I had the absolute truth on what God is and what it's plan is for us... poor people....
Thanks for popping in!

I heard this old story before
if people keep appealing for the metaphors
don't leave much up to the imagination
so i wanna give this imagery back
but i know it just ain't so easy like that
so, i turn the page and read the story again
and again and again
it just seems the same
with a different name
we're breaking and rebuilding
and we're growing
always guessing
never knowing
shocking but we're nothing
we're just moments
we're clever but we're clueless
we're just human
amusing but confusing
we're trying
but where is this all leading
we'll never know
it all happened so much faster
than you could say disaster
wanna take a time lapse
and look at it backwards
from the last one
and maybe that's just the answer
that we're after but after all
we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
just one breath in a chain of thought
the moments just combusting
feel certain but we'll never never know
just seems the same
give it a different name
we're begging and we're needing
and we're trying and we're breathing
knock-knock on the door to door
tell ya that the metaphor is better than yours
and you can either sink or swim
things are looking pretty grim
if you don't believe in what their spoon feeding
it's got no feeling
so i read it again
and again and again
just seems the same
so many different names
our hearts are strong
our heads are weak
we'll always be competing
never knowing
shocking but we're nothing
we're just moments
we're clever but we're clueless
we're just human
amusing, confusing
but the truth is
all we got is questions
we'll never know
in one of the new pieces of information in the new elders manual - section 5:18 - it shows how elders are instructed to keep all judicial committee information private from media or attorneys.
keeping in mind how secretive the wt society has been in hiding child abuse within the jehovah's witnesses notice these instructions to elders now.. it states, " if a member of the media or an attorney representing the accused ( or possibly victims ) contacts the elders , they should not give him any information about the case or verify there is a jc.
rather, they should give the following explanation, " the spiritual and physical welfare of jehovah's witnesses is of paramount concern to the elders, who have been appointed to " shepherd the flock ".
As far as the database goes... anyone here a member of Anonymous? they are supposedly all about exposing organizations who disregard human rights... and they certainly have the ability to make this happen... maybe one of you talented YT video producers could make a video outlining the argument and asking for assistance.... I don't know... just a thought...
yikes...at work next week i will be spending an entire day in a room with a young jw woman.
(i work at an elementary school and we will be doing photocopying and other assorted things).
this young woman is a gung-ho witness but she is going to be going to college.
WTwizard... can you point me to the no investing in silver clause...
i don't believe in the bible either, but i'm just curious as to why others don't.
ridiculous misogyny and mass murder by a petty little god are two reasons for me.
(ilovehigh-lighting) .
haha... uncle punky... that was classic!
i did'nt like the convention (no surprice), but what do i hate the drama on saturday.
a shocking inside look in a jw perfect family.
the solution of their problems are stupid.
I wish I had the balls to go streaking right through the middle of a drama... and then do a cannonball into the baptism pool... it was one of my daydreams when watching them as a kid... now that would make an epic youtube video....
