  What would you do if you won a $300 million lottery

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i would pay a highly rated, very expensive advertising company to run a 1 minute ad that ran nationwide primetime every night of the week until i spent $75 million of it telling how the wt was covering over pedophiles and for people to go to jwfacts.com for the truth about the truth.

  it would be done in very good taste, way better than political ads.

  i would spare no expense.

  wow this is interesting!

  i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

  they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

  They want to get rid of "anointed ones" - It's getting clear

  i've never met a group that turns on it's members like the jw's.

  sister faithful that thinks she's anointed is now bat shit crazy with mental illness.

  we all have known it's true, but now you have the wt, who put it in everyone's head that you can be anointed.

  Peace and Security!

  by biblexaminer in

  watchtower teaches that soon there will be a huge development that will be a sign for jehovah's witnesses!

  5:3 the watchtower magazine, principle journal of jehovah's witnesses, writes.... however, just before that day of jehovah begins, world leaders will be saying “peace and security!” this may refer to one event or to a series of events.

  At least they are being very specific about it - much like Revelation :)

  They did rule out No series of events.

  FYI - there are only 35,000 publishers in ALL banned countries.

  That is NOT a lot, especially if you add their population together.

  It makes the 1 in 7000 ratio in Uganda look stellar!

  Is this a site controlled by atheists?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  under the exterior of being an ex- witness site, is this site simply converting atheism?.

  i pose the question, because many come here in distress and insecurity with the realization that the w.t is wrong but still retain a belief in god.

  my personal opinion is the threads on god are not challenged by an atheists personal animosity to believers, they are challenged and become confrontational because the atheist wants an elaboration and factual proof to a believers faith.. is this unreasonable?

  I just think that a lot of JWs who have had their eyes opened have opened them fully.

  I think JWs who spent their lives scrutinizing the most innocuous passages of the bible and coming up with deep meaning, and also getting explanations for the most blatant contradictions.

  As JWs, we have spent our lives studying the bible.

  Each book and verse were examined for deep meaning, and prophetic significance.

  Year after year we were given "explanations" of who the most idiotic stuff fit into scientific truth.

  Year after year, the most blatant contradictions were either causally explained away, or some over arching future structure was added to it so it would make sense when god explained the details.

  We had it pounded in that we are the ONLY true religion, and many people would "ironically" express "if this isn't the truth then there isn't one"

  After all that and more, its hard to come to the conclusion, "oh we got the trinity wrong, but all the other stuff is still ok", if you know what I am saying.

  No worries STUCKINARUT2 :) All good.
  I am into precision of speech:) Lots when you are an organization of 8 million is tens of thousands. If you don't put your statements into context like "I knew 10 who went in the last 4 years" then "lots" can mean something different to different people.

  I have been around forever in a very populated area and I don't know anyone who went to china to preach.

  stuckinarut219 minutes agoLots of witnesses are going over independently to preach...unofficially supported by the society...

  No lots are not. Maybe a few here and there may be. There are so many reasons that make any kind of campaign there not viable it's not worth mentioning.

  
  

  You have 1.35 billion people there, and a handful of nuts going there to preach?

  Preach to a society that is completely conditioned to distrust outsiders, who often have to report on each other for any unusual behavior, and are not interested in christianity at all?
  

  
  

  Any who try have have to deal with being watched, bugged, followed, or deported for preaching, as this is a constant threat.

  
  

  By the way the have 200 dialects, making communication from outsiders not very easy.

  
  Anyone who tells you of the great work going on in china is delusional.

  
  

  p.s. Want to read a great article by a 'sister' who actually went to china to preach?

  I don't believe any of that for a moment. Why would wealthy Chinese be more interested than poor ones? And how is the money being collected and what's happening with it. There are no Donation boxes, and no easy way to hide it nor move it out of the country.

  Ex COs and Ex DOs - hogwash - just like all the hogwash you hear every few years about the work opening up in China. Never ever ever gonna happen.

  I know someone who went to South Korea, and they talked about China, the few that are there are ULTRA careful. Nothing is happening in China.
