  The craziness of Christianity

  by Normalfulla in

  1. social
  2. current

  so i was reading thru a fb feed about poor chester bennington and in relation chris cornell, there were some rather heated and unusual (or usual whatever you may think ) comments... no disrespect to believers but since leaving the jws i just see this type of discussion as lunacy.

  ... "chester is going to hell ,he killed himself so it's black and white in god's word ."..

  "why would a loving god send a person who suffers from mental illness to hell?

  Amen Emperor !, could have been any guy that fit the description, albeit most likely with a beard , of course had nothing to do with her subconscious and what she wanted to believe or her hallucinating oxygen starved brain

  "Chester is going to hell ,he killed himself so it's black and white in God's word .".

  "Why would a loving god send a person who suffers from mental illness to hell? No he's with God in his grace now .".

  "No he's definitely going to hell "

  One lady comments

  My Aunt died and was bought back by paramedics and when she died she said she saw her husband who had killed himself sitting across from jesus so you can trust me that chester is in heaven

  There was heaps more of this type of speculation in which I pitied the people engaging in the debate as there was no actual answer that can be proven and all it was doing was upsetting people and exposing the beliefs as absolutely ridiculous

  I currently feel sorry for the humans trapped within the god delusion

  Is there any humor in the bible?

  by Normalfulla in

  1. social
  2. humour

  humor plays a big part in a lot of humanity and we all like a good laugh but as far as i'm aware god's supposed word has no actual humor ,of course apart from being a joke itself ,why wasn't there a passage or something like "jesus farted and giggles broke out among them " or something, is anyone aware of any notations of humor ?

  all to.serious really.

  hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster.

  i'm currently in a jehovah's witnesses household, which is very deep into the "truth".

  i woke up a few months ago, and i haven't told my parents yet.

  Hotel California

  by Normalfulla in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  growing up was ok being a jw or so i thought, i guess u accept life as it comes when yr a kid , anyhow i played guitar and my elder dad (who is currently df) would forbid me to learn hotel california or even if it came on the radio he would run and quickly turn it off , .

  he explained he had heard a tape recording at work that explained that this song along with stairway to heaven and others had back masking on it and when played backwards would say stuff like "satan has his own congregation " or other stuff like that , now this was not a jw sanctioned audio talk just some other christian production .. none of dad's other peers felt the same and growing up it illustrated to me dad's propensity to be influenced and convinced about something seemingly innocuous to others.. fast forward to a year or so ago and i showed him a section from the eagles documentary where don henley talks about the meaning of hotel california and how much trouble christian evangelists gave the song due to their own interpretation etc , so completely refuted the claims my father had told me were fact as a kid ,from the horses mouth so to speak .

  his answer was ,"well of course he'd say that he wants to save face ,he wouldn't admit the truth !".

  None of dad's other peers felt the same and growing up it illustrated to me dad's propensity to be influenced and convinced about something seemingly innocuous to others.

  Fast forward to a year or so ago and I showed him a section from the Eagles documentary where Don Henley talks about the meaning of hotel California and how much trouble Christian evangelists gave the song due to their own interpretation etc , so completely refuted the claims my father had told me were fact as a kid ,from the horses mouth so to speak

  OMG I can understand why the man despite my attempts to show him ttat continues to be unswayed , some people just refuse to see what is plainly in front of them

  Hmmm so my dad has been df for 2.5 years now ,never wanted to be df and has been trying to come back ever since ,I mean really trying ! Going to all the meetings , he's on his 6th reinstatement request now and this time it was denied because he doesn't show enough repentance ,wtf they could just say we don't like you that would make more sense , meanwhile his 3 other children shun him and he has no friends or any human compassion from the people he held dear all his life ,makes me sick ,I get protection of the Congo but people get abused by their awol mentality and rules

  My last talk

  by Normalfulla in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i was recalling my last talk , it was something to do with finding jehovah's treasures or something anyhow in my prep i decided to google "real life treasure maps " and i came across the copper scroll which was found with the dead sea scrolls https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/copper_scroll and i described the real life treasure map etc and of course likened it to the bible as if it were a treasure map to life (duh) anyway afterwards an elder present at my talk said "i wouldn't believe everything u read on the internet" .

  i was totally pissed off by his comments as though if it didn't come from a wt publication it can't be trusted as true , this was before i woke up but i was so incensed by his comments it messed with me that he would doubt my research and then ..... i woke up but that wasn't what did it just an.event along the way.
