DO THE MATH, GOD CAN SAVE ONLY ONE IN 1,000?
by new boy inwhat got me thinking, -------when i was seating at a district ass.
and looking at the audiences of 10,000 people seating there, i thought if all these people here were to represent all the earths population, only ten people on the front row would be saved.. since the population of the planet is 6 billion "worldly people" and 6 million jws, that means those poor bastards in the world only have one in 1,000 chance to live!
but i was "lucky" enough to be born into a jws family {and maybe 75%?

In 1973 some guy was checking in at New York bethel. A friend of mine, saw him drive up on a motorcycle. Bob Lang was walking across the street between the 107 and 124 Columbia heights St.
The guy ask Bob “is this Brooklyn Bethel?” Bob said, “Yes, why?” ‘I’m checking in!” the biker said. Bob Lang said, “You can’t have a motorcycle here at Bethel!” “Are you sure?” the biker asked. “YES” Bob said. “BYE” is all the biker said,and drove away. We all thought he was the smartest guy on the planet, and the luckiest!

Since the population of the planet is 6 billion "worldly people" and 6 million JWs, that means those poor bastards in the world only have one in 1,000 chance to live! But I was "lucky" enough to be born into a JWs family {and maybe 75%? of all witness kids stay witnesses?} how blessed I'm because now I have a 75% of survival, instead of 1/10 of 1% to be among the chosen "Blessed ones" as it was.
Then again if God can save only one in 1000 how All powerful can God be? And how could God call that a victory? "Well sure I had to KILL 999 people, but I did manage to save ONE!!!
The correctional system, as messed up as it is, on this planet,it is still trying to reform people instead of killing them!!!
Wow could the all powerful God of the universe, have the abilty to reform all mankind instead of killing them?---------na, its easier to kill them, and more fun, too.
When you KILL someone, you do not change their mind you just kill them.
I guess he's not all powerful after all!!
BUT HE IS "let all the world be found to be a liar {ALL RELIGIONS TOO} BUT GOD BE TRUE"

You know it will be the "I just have to many calls, I really need to take care of them" "me too" lets get 8 people in a mini-van and drive around for 2 hours from one end of the territory to the other {with a 45 min. coffee break in the middle}. I have to admit I really feel sorry for their kids, they are the ones that are in HELL, for they feel the have NO choice in the matter.----------they go to the doors many of them won't ring the bells, if they do ring they will be so glad if no one comes to the door.--------THANK YOU GOD--------THANK YOU GOD-------THANK YOU GOD------I'M NOT THERE ANY MORE!!!-----NEW BOY, 52 YEARS A WATCHTOWER SLAVE

A suggestion for discrediting the Society
by RunningMan inin this forum, we often wonder what we can do to make the society look bad.
we come up with ideas like picketing assemblies, mail campaigns, legal action, and many others.
although these ideas are laudable and i would not want to discourage anyone, they sometimes create sympathy for the witnesses, and make us look bitter and fanatical.

Great post Seek4-------- there was no-way Wendy could have done a better job then she did, she told me, she had all of 3 days to find out everything she could about the J.Ws! Interview both sides, get the jargon straight, find out all the strange customs, and all the other bull shit straight. I was a great articale---------because it got non-J.W.S to think, and it got the young J.W.s to think, thats what going to stop them, no more new people, no more young people buying in, the old ones will die in the faith, 20 to 30 years it will be BYE--BYE!!! for the thing.

Great post GArybuss,--------and what good is "suing" the snunks going to do? More negitive energy. I like the dog an the snake story---there was a great forest fire, all the animals were running for their lives, they all came to this river and swim across to safety. The only 2 left were a dog an a snake. The dog was getting ready to jumb in the water and the snake said "let me get on your back, because I can't swim!" The dog said "If I do, you will bite me" The snake said "why would I do that? We would both die then!" "Thats true" the dog said "jump on" Well half way across the river the snake bit the dogs neck "why did YOU do that, we are both going to die NOW" The snake said "you knew what I was!"-----------------Who can you blame for playing with snakes?-----------bless it, and move on with your LIFE!

About Dan Sydlik...
by Patriot ini was talking to one of my brother-in-laws about his time in bethel.
he put in about 5 years.. anyway, i mentioned the post about lyman calling the new black brother "nigger", and he also said that it did not surprise him.. but what i found even funnier was the experience he had with dan.
dan sydlik had been staying at the bossert hotel while his apartment was getting renovated.
