Just when you thought things couldn't get any lower ...

What type of pornography was he looking at?Was it accompanied by masturbation?

Isnt looking at porn like aways followed by masterbation, or is that just me:)

With regard to viewing oral (or anal) sex of a homosexual or group nature, this is more serious.

Yes millions die of starvation each year - but doG is worried about what hole you put you dick in, or EVEN if you see pages of ink or pixels on a screen that showed that!

A married person may even find fault with his or her mate in an attempt to justify viewing pornography.

Reality Code for (finding fault) - my wife wont ever have sex with me .

"gee my wife wont let me get near her and we havent f#cked in 2 years, instead of having an affair, I will wack off to porn to keep my head from exploding" YEA What a horrible man - looking for excuses for doing something that most mammals do all the time.

We worship a powerful loving doG.

Some Things Just Dont Add Up, How Did We Miss This???

by pale.emperor in

some things i just didnt notice at the time which now seem so obvious:.

the bible tells us that the end will come like a thief in the night, when we least expect it.

(matthew 24:44).

ttdtt

pale. what are you saying? The the unholy bible written by doG is unreliable?

Never may that be so:)

ISNT IT AMAZING how when the Scales fall of your eyes how you can now objectively look at the bible you see it as a big piece of crap!
How hoodwinked were we:(

How Long it will take to the GB change the interpretation of the Beast as the UN?

by Ray Frankz in

i just realized now, (ironically by checking on jw.org) that the echr (european court of human rights), the government agency that has been literally saving the jws to be banned in so many countries - and they are very thankful for that, as they say in their recent purple history book - is an agency of the un!.

as it is well known, the gb consider the un as a high-class enemy of god's kingdom, believing it is the beast mentioned in revelation.

this interpretation was totally from f. franz and n. knorr, this last one still being reagarded every now and then as the one who gave the speech with this "new light".

ttdtt

Ok 2 things.

1: The GB already changed their stance on the UN. They now say its a "Coalition of Nations". And they really dont talk about the UN anymore.

2: European Court of Human Rights is NOT part of the UN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Court_of_Human_Rights

I wish I had not gone to the meeting last night

by stillin in

the first thing i saw when i went in was the two video screens having the watchtower singers chorus doing a number.

the sound wasn't up enough to make out the song, but the video was grotesque.

the singers were swaying to the music, all independent of each other, no discipline, actually sloppy-looking.

ttdtt

Anyone have a link to that New Bunker video? Or is it the original one?

NICE POINT!

But only a JW would have any way of knowing that - so you would have to OUT yourself.

in retrospect: RBCs vs LDCs / the hype about a lot of new construction and subsequent abrupt halt to construction

by Magnum in

so, now that some time has passed, i’d like some input/thoughts/analysis/etc.

on the jw construction situation in the last few years.. first, why did they discontinue the rbc arrangement and institute the ldc arrangement?

was it for more and/or better control?

ttdtt

Isn't the funny part how NO ONE BATS AN EYE at it?
Congregations are pumping money to the branch for the MASSIVE building work that was needed.

Yet NO ONE knows of any building.
I was told by someone who was high up in the RBC in our area, that only a handful of new McHalls were building in the USA.

No one figures out the bate and switch? We need a million halls today! We are consolidating halls because we don't need that many!

WTF?

Isn’t concept of sinner itself faulty?

by venus in

a person may sometimes get swelling on his leg and may have limped a few times—but he is never called lame.

similarly, sometimes a person may slip into selfishness and use his free-will to his own harm or to the harm of others—but this does not make him a sinner because the ability to do the contrary (ability choose to commit virtuous act to any extent) too exists in him.

if one’s occasional sinning does not make him a sinner, sin of another person (such as first human couple) can never make others sinners.

ttdtt

Of course, it is BS.

Sin is a construct made by Religion.
Right and Wrong is a Construct made by the society you live in.

It is just a social agreement.

"Only Witnesses demonstrate Christian Love"

by Jules Saturn in

so a couple of nights ago i was speaking with a relative and we began talking about the organization.

i had to asked her "why do you believe that this religion is the correct one?

" they stood quiet for a second but then said that they view and feel genuine christian love, a type of love that is spoken about in the bible.

No idea why I would get 2 negatives? I was an elder for 2 decades, I think my opinion on this isn't crazy.
