  Forgiveness

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if someone does the same things over and over again and says sorry and then does it again and you point out that their apologies don't mean anything anymore, then they accuse you of not being forgiving enough, who is in the wrong?

  (i mean as in constantly over a long period of time).

  im trying to work out whether it was just part of the persons mental/ emotional manipulation tactics or whether i have the wrong view and i'm not forgiving enough.

  Remember, forgiving is for YOUR SELF primarily.

  When you dont, and hold a grudge, you are letting someone rent space in your mind for free.

  Just hurts you.
  As was said - doent mean you have to trust or like the person.

  Contradictions!

  by Freedom rocks in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  quite regularly at meetings jws mocked worldly people and apostates(anyone who had left the "truth") for saying the bible contradicts itself when it is in complete harmony from beginning to end apparently.

  can anyone point out some of the contradictions they know of?

  they used to laugh at the fact people on the doors would say the bible contradicts itself and when they asked the householder to show them where, they couldn't..

  What JWs do right, and what they do wrong.

  by pleaseresearch in

  2. beliefs

  so tonight i'm going to be having a chat with my brother and hes asked me what my thought are on the above question.. i could be wrong with what im about to say but i do think the door to door ministry is one thing they are doing right.

  i think the cart work on the other hand is wrong.

  just today i saw two sisters sat next to their cart with people going by.

  what are your views on the golden ratio or fibonacci sequence?

  i know jws and some other groups use this as proof of gods existence.

  jwfacts - as we all know as former JWs - people can bend and twist whatever into whatever so-called proof they want.

  Comes down to - no one wants to go out of existence - so people of all religions rationalize the most stupidest things to reinforce that there is a future for them no matter what.

  Water on Mars (Possibly life)

  by pleaseresearch in

  2. bible

  this has been an interesting story in the news recently.. just thinking, if in a few years time they drill down and discover water on mars and also some form of life.

  does that for you destroy the bible in anyway?.

  I am a designer and I use that principle all the time in design. Has nothing to do with god.

  Its like how when it comes to visuals and say slogans or taglines - groups of 3 work best with the human mind.

  i.e. Just Do It. I'm loving it. Imagination at work. Every Little Helps. Finger lickin' good. Taste the rainbow. Snap Crackle Pop.

  BIG WARNING ALL - The human mind finds patterns even when they are not there. I.E. seeing Elvis in a piece of toast. THIS IS A GIANT PLUS as a result of evolution, and it is a GIANT NEGATIVE because that's why we have superstition and the persistence of religion.

  Listen to this its good: https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode/brain-seeks-patterns-where-none-exi-08-10-03/

  FYI: Did you know that when it comes to Beauty, and this works in all cultures. The people we generally feel are the most beautiful are mathematically the MOST AVERAGE.

  If you take a million faces - and digitize the size and location of all features, the AVERAGE of all those are the people we feel are the most beautiful. I thought that was very interesting.

  No new releases? How are the r&f taking this?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it true that there's been no new releases at this summer's convention?

  if so it will be the first convention in decades perhaps ever to not produce at least a new tract.. how are the r&f explaining this to eachother?

  surely they must have noticed the absence?

  Remember how the LAST international convention was "gonna be a historic event that you would talk about in the new system".

  Remember getting together and making little crap tchotchke bags for all the "friends" from abroad.

  Remember how it was going to be LIFE CHANGING????
  
  Yea I don't either, it was actually one of the worst DCs ever and were at the main one in the States.

  I dont know, somehow the WT has figured out how to create Mass Amnesia year by year.

  Jehovah`s Witnesses Do Not Have a Clergy Class.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  no , they have the governing body { some would say the popes of the religion }.

  and you do not under any circumstance go against what they say./ .

  they also have branch overseers , district overseers .circuit overseers , and elders in a congregation .. they are all up and above the rank and file of the average ordinary jehovah`s witness and they are looked upon as such by the rank and file member as equivalent to a clergy class.. oh and lets not forget the legal department that has a lot to say in how the jehovah`s witness organization responds to allegations of child sexual abuse around the world.. and when an allegation arises about child sexual abuse the w.t.

  As a prominent Elder - I felt like I was part of a clergy class.

  I got perks - I got tons of adulation - I got treated very different.

  Just no money:)
