  justin bieber has beliebers.

  benedict cumberbatch has cumberbitches.

  surely the ego-stroking gb worshipping fans deserve a name.. gbsters?

  Insistance on legal contracts

  by StarTrekAngel in

  2. bible

  just asking those who still attend or keep up with the latest magazines.

  there was a wt study not too long ago that insisted on studying every pact that god made in the past, but adding the spin of calling them "legal contracts".

  this week's book study concentrated on the same thing.

  i patiently waited for my old username to work again, but since it seems it never will, i just added a "2" to my original name, and gave up all aspirations for continuing my "jedi-hood".

  sigh.

  so, hello all!.

  JW Blood Doctrine Constitutes Idolatry

  by TTATTelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you sacrifice your life for something - that is devotion to the highest degree and can in certain context constitute worship.. .

  as has been discussed many times on this forum, the blood doctrine of being willing to sacrifice life to honor a symbol of life (blood) is ludicrous (see this excellent thread by cofty http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/273265/my-explanation-why-they-got-wrong-about-blood-using-only-nwt?page=1).

  it is also idolatry.... .

  At the (ever so slight) risk of revealing my identity, I have a life-long friend who has a brother in the Legal Department who he went to visit last month up in Patterson. When he was asked by someone how things were going, he said, and I quote, "Very very busy. I'm working until 7 or 8 every night. Jehovah's Chariot is moving ahead!"

  Obviously, hearsay.

  All I could think of was that there must be a lot of Pedo cases for them to have him work overtime and miss the mid week meeting.

  Just about all my childhood friends are out of the organization now and I have lost touch with them because I believed I was "doing the right thing."

  One is in Jail because he got involved with the Zetas (mexican cartel). 

  The others that aren't "in" anymore, I have no idea where they are now. They're either not on Facebook, or they have their settings set to not show up in search results.

  I would love to reach out to them, but I have a feeling that even though they are "out," they may not be trustworthy and keep it to themselves.

  Interesting statement made by CO. Is this new?

  by stillin in

  2. beliefs

  in his first talk of the week the co mentioned that people don't get df'd for joining the military or registering to vote because they are already gone, as compared with smoking secretly, which would merit df'ing.. i have been toying around with registering to vote in the next election (us) so this intrigues me..

  I don't know about registering to vote (I accidentally registered once by checking the wrong box when renewing my license), but if it becomes known that you actually voted, they will DA you.

  I think after the way Barbara Anderson was treated/railroaded , any leaks or whistleblowers will be anonymous where it can't be traced or detected.
