  BEROEAN PICKETS:- VIcky And Mike's Story. "Judged To Be Like The Antichrist "

  by buzkid in

  2. scandals

  vicky and mike hobbs are ex jehovah’s witnesses and ex beroean pickets members their personal statements and experiences within the beroean pickets bible study groups wasn't pleasant.

  and vicky was likened to the antichrist because of her differing views.

  spiritual abuse is becoming more widespread and the purpose of this interview is to raise awareness, provide education around spiritual and religious abuse, and to keep the public safe.

  Memories of Excessive Laughter

  by Sea Breeze in

  jw's are not known for laughter.

  there are the rare exceptions.

  they are more known for their fear mongering and doomsday scenarios where "the dead shall come to be as manure on the surface of the ground from one end of the earth clear to the other".

  Sea Breeze:

  What a ridiculous and sweeping generalisation. JW's are like any other group, some take everything seriously whilst others see the funny side. In fact, since the endless treadmill of in person meeting attendance, reporting field service hours and door to door work has been slashed I've noticed my JW family enjoying life much more.

  You're so keen on Jesus Sea Breeze so how about using him as an example. Show me one instance in the bible where Jesus laughed.

  Just one.

  What is Your Favorite WT Lie?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.

  surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.

  my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

  You guys will strain out the Watchtowers gnats but swallow the Bible's camels. Hysterical.

  Try plucking the rafters out of your own eyes.

  Is the JW version of The Lord's Supper really a Parody?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a black mass is a ceremony celebrated by various satanic groups.

  it ... is intentionally a sacrilegious and blasphemous parody of a catholic mass.

  Slimboyfat:

  Perhaps those passages misrepresent God?

  That would be an awful lot of misrepresentation, in which case why bother with the types of theological conversations you're having if the source material is so misrepresentative? And if there are 'nice' passages like the one you quoted what of it? How can you be sure they are accurate and the monstrous ones aren't truthful?

  Imagine taking a similar approach to someone else. What if I were to form the Lucy Letby Appreciation Society or the Harold Shipman Fan Club. People would rightly be horrified and point to all the innocents killed at their hands.

  How would I sound if I said they were being misrepresented or that we should focus on the good things they did?

  Or, as you and Sea Breeze are doing, have a conversation about the design of the Fan Clubs letterhead?

  You can do better than this.

  slimboyfat:

  Could you explain what the argument is first. Who exactly is a child murderer and why?

  Sure. I'm arguing that it betrays a lack of moral judgement to worship a child killer and that debating the finer points of said worship without addressing the actual child killing proves how damaging religious worship truly is.

  The god of the Bible is of course a child killer according to the text. If this is the god you worship, then you are worshipping a child killer. If you worship Jesus then it's a little more nuanced.

  If you are a trinitarian then Jesus is part of the godhead responsible for all those Old Testament child killings so you are still worshipping a child killer.

  If you are not a trinitarian then presumably you accept Jesus numerous statements to the effect that he "and the Father are one" or that "he who has seen me has seen the Father". So you would at least be in agreement with the object of your worship, a person who supports the murder of innocent children.

  Hope that's clear enough.

  Christians condemning other Christians for not worshipping a mass child murderer in precisely the right way is twisted. You guys need a serious look at yourselves.
