JW Good News is merely B.S. Bad News demonstrably wrong (Here is the proof)

by TerryWalstrom in

scare tactics generating fear of the end is the core message of jehovah's witnesses.predictions based on so-called bible prophecy is their mother's milk.

"critical times hard to deal with" flavors every book, article,pamphlet and conversation spoken by dub on the doorstep.indeed, all we hear anywhere seems to be bad news.

are jw's right?can this be put to the test?

Stats can be twisted any way anyone wants if they are careful to leave out a few facts or context.

since we were jws at one time, has it influenced your view as to where your dead loved ones are now?

Praying for apostates

by BubbaBoBobBrain in

i had heard that jehovah's witnesses cannot pray for disfellowshipped individuals or apostates.

is this true?.

ttdtt

It is.
There was a sister in my hall who we were close with. She had 5 kids that we all loved.

Her oldest girl still an older teen got DF (for f#ucking around of course).

My wife told her that she was praying for her (the girl) and the mother got offended that you cant pray for her and that she never does (though she is for sure a loving great mom).

My wife told her "you don't think god wants to hear that you as her mother wants her to return?"

JWs are so fearful and bizarre. It was so sad.

Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump

i have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.

i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.

he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.

Not Being Invited To Gatherings.

have you ever found out that your "buddies" from the kingdom hall went out to have fun and did not invite you?

if so how did you feel?.

I have a theory on this kind of stupidity. Because Witnesses are closed off from associating with “worldly people”, they do not know how to conduct themselves or what is socially acceptable. They are painfully ignorant about many things, in addition to being fools and ingrates.

VERY VERY TRUE!
Now that does not go for everyone - but a majority sure fit into that.

Miss America and Misguided Views on Sexuality

by Simon in

so miss america pageant is going to remove the swimsuit and evening gown parts of their pageant because they have decided it's demeaning to women.

i guess it will just be women in overcoats telling us they want world peace .... bravo, we all applaud, right?

maybe we shouldn't be so quick to do so .... what is it really saying?

Taking the swimsuit contest out will certainly make rating shoot through the roof!

Now finally we can concentrate on Batton Twirling!

We men like to look at a pretty woman. It's built into our psyche. And stays with us until old age. Isn't it great!

Amen, brother!!!!! Especial pretty naked women.

Nice beach photo by the way.

Sadly, after I had stepped down as an elder (for family and stress reasons - which I made public enough) - me and my family stopped getting any of the invitations we normally got, and worse, the young ones did not answer my daughters invites to "gatherings" we had at our house on a regular basis.

Very hurtful, especially considering how many peoples lives I had helped as an elder. How many times I was there for them in bad times and good. 2 Decades of service as a thoughtful, loving shepherd proved to count for nothing.

Love love love, all over the place.
What a joke.

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Baker Who Refused to Bake Cake for Gay Couple

by Simon in

seems like such an obviously correct decision to overturn the previous overreach - it should never have been necessary to go to the supreme court but happened because the rights of the religious were being ignored.. as the fundamental level, no one should be able to compel you to work for them or to provide services that go against your beliefs, and certainly not have the government be able to force you to comply.. if this was allowed there would be so many unreconcilable situations that would clog up courts over nonsense.. i also have little patience for these activists that intentionally look to be offended.

it really doesn't do their cause any good to go round looking to make trouble for people.

it's also misguided because it ends up strengthening religious rights over effectively stupid issues.. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court-sides-with-baker-who-turned-away-gay-couple.html.
