in the genocidal instructions supposedly given by god we find this interesting command: “now kill all the boys.
and kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (numbers 31:17, 18).
in the midst of killing and plundering, how were the israelites to determine whether each girl “has slept with a man” or not?.
Shows there is NO god of the bible.
He didn't even know the human body.
Or is happy to see innocent women (girls) killed or tortured.
While hymens can be torn during sex or other physical activity, they don’t “break.” These torn areas can bleed, but it doesn’t always happen.
during my time in the cult i sometimes sat during a talk thinking why on earth are they talking about topics like this with kids in the audience.
talking about sex and masturbation was probably the worst one i heard and my daughter was only 5 at the time.. what inappropriate talks or comments have you heard over the years that children should not be exposed to really?.
Its funny the things COs say that for some reason they don't get. The "snowballing" I understand why.
One CO gave a talk and used the example of how in a family with kids, when the parents are not home, that the kids NEED to listen to the Big Brother. He went on and on and use the Big Brother metaphor over and over on how the FDS is our Big Brother.
I mean seriously how did he not know the connotation to 1984?
But I have to hand it to him - he was for once Speaking the Truth!!!!

It will be a historic announcement - one that you will be able to tell Noah and King David about.
They will be so jealous of you too!

I know! Of course, the way it is presented is the worst, filling kids with the vision of shame and guilt.
I used to think it was so stupid of other churches having separate classes for the kids while the parents go the sermons.
So many things I thought were great were so harmful.
my little bethel bird has whispered in my ear some encouraging news.
it has been reported to the canadian branch that some witnesses doing cart work had police stop them from carting in public parks.
the direction sent to the southern ontario congregations is to cease carting until further notice.. this is no joke.. have a jw-free day..

LMS=> I was told that in NYC and NJ
I live in NJ and am in NYC often enough.
The Carts are EVERYWHERE! Very annoying!
I cant understand why someone would think they are not being uses a lot?
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.
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..
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.

They are a Cult, no extra credit for being nice.

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.
i'm still looking into the debate but was wondering what others thought.
I tell you - if I were a god - there would be no question anyone I made would plainly know about me.
god is the WORST Communications and Marketing person in history.
