  I love the way speechless cowards are so quick to criticize JunkYardDog for his direct style of "counter-witnessing." Some of these same speechless cowards are great fans of the prevaricating phony who calls himself Cedars.

  I consider JunkYardDog a personal friend whose feet I am not worthy to wash. Maybe his method isn't always as polished as a used-car salesman's or a Circuit Servant, but his FACTS are incontrovertably CORRECT - ALL OF THE TIME. I think that is what the speechless ones hate the most - that my friend JunkYardDog knows what he is talking about, while the speechless ones only know how they FEEL.

  Even elders don’t know their beliefs

  by Addison0998 in

  i had a deep conversation with my elder father today about the bible.

  first i talked to him about luke 16:19-31. the one where jesus makes this crazy illustration regarding the afterlife.

  of course he had to look it up on the watchtower library to be spoon fed his beliefs.

  I'm reminded of the comment made by WTB&TS President Nathan Knorr, who said that all he was sure about was that Jehovah was God; 1914 and all the other stuff... well he wasn't sure.

  It is GOOD that Knorr lived to see the grand hallucinations of Freddy Franz fail. It is a shame that so many were disfellowshipped for voicing their doubts before Knorr decided to voice his doubts.

  Minimus, you scared me! I thought something had happened to Blondie - I'm glad that she's OK but just cutting back.

  I remember so many from back when I first came aboard here - get the pun?

  Yes, I have wondered about Mulan, and I wish it was possible to hear from VeniceIT, BBoyNeko, and so many others. I sincerely hope they are happy and doing well.

  I miss those from whom we will never hear again: Mouthy, Farkel, and others.

  Most of all, I miss myself. Memory is starting to go... who was I?

  I suggest the pdf format for best quality.

  a search of wt lib 2010 produces 16 hits for "robison" of which some refer to frederick h. robison.. this website has an independent biography:.

  http://www.concordant.org/expohtml/faithfullaborers/co_laborers.html#robison.

  in case of link-rot someone may want to copy the biography and paste below?.

  Anyone interested in Fredrik Homer Robison may want to read “Color And Character: A Contemplation Of The Four Divine Qualities” published on LULU.com. It is a compilation of articles Robison wrote for The Golden Age in 1920 and 1921 and includes a biography of the man. It seems Robison had synesthesia and did not realize that most people did not perceive the world quite the same way he did.

  Atheists - How Did You Become An Atheist After Waking Up?

  by pale.emperor in

  i consider myself an atheist.

  and right now i'm reading a lot on atheism in general (books written to answer creationists).. i'd be interested in knowing how you became an atheist after leaving the jws and how long did it take?

  was it instant or did your belief in a deity gradually decline?.

  Are you a woman? Do you know one?

  by dubstepped in

  2. experiences

  if you can answer yes to either question, you should consider listening to the latest episode of "shunned".

  in it, brenda tells her story inside the flds cult, a story of women and what they go through.

  this is happening right here in the united states.

  Crazyguy asked, "Does anyone know or does the Bible state when the Jonah story supposedly happen?"

  I'm not a "Bible scholar" but Wikipedia says, "Jonah is the name given in the Hebrew Bible to a prophet of Israel in about the 8th century BCE."

  I think the WTB&TS teaches that Jonah lived last Thursday.

  Watson observed, "Why does the boat's captain sound like an actor out of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"?"

  Wait until you see NEXT YEAR'S video -- they're re-making "Cabin Boy" with a theocratic subtext!
