i don't worry about it but it just seems that the human race is going down a road that they can't make a turn off.. they are probing/discovering how the human mind works and produces intelligence down to the individual molecule.

now with the invention of the super quantum computer soon we will be able to build even better artificial intelligence greater than our own, so it will be easily able to out smart us because will we be a bunch of dumb apes first discovering how to make fire in it's eyes.. it will have it's own different agendas than us humans.

Hooray! Bound volumes in the trash!

by stillin in

my wife has held onto them like they were family heirlooms.

we are cleaning and clearing out accumulated stuff and i pointed out that there is the cd-rom library now and that the society has made revisions and really doesn't want us to be reading the old stuff.

she said that even though there have been changes to the teachings, the wrong understanding served its' purpose at the time.

Mine had mould on them so in the bin they went. Better land fill than recycled.

I don't believe a word of it. They lie about their numbers like all religions.

There's 100's of misquotes/lies in the creation book alone. All deliberate and misleading.

The Watchtower's Real Crisis

by JeffT in

jw
friends

when discussing the watchtowers financial problems, i've generally been of the opinion that they probably are not in a real financial crisis.

i've come to believe that money may be something of an issue, but its wrapped up in a much larger problem.

this came to me this morning when reading about the annual meeting.. i think the society's leadership is just plain out of ideas.

The biggest mistake they made was discouraging families to wait till after armageddon to have children. They would be mormon sized by now.

Do They Still do Door-to-Door as Much as Before?

by cofty in

since the advent of the trolleys do the majority of jws still go door to door like we used to?.

do they still have meetings for field service on sat mornings and sun afternoons where most head off to the local territory while one or two go to do trolley work or has the importance of door to door work reduced?.

with the reduction of printing wts and awakes what will they offer at the doors?.

In the 6 years I've been here they've knocked twice. Had a leaflet in the mailbox this week inviting me to a convention 200 miles away.

JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here

by pale.emperor in

hi guys.

sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.

I had an elder at the door a while back who wouldn't take a hint to leave so I baited him by saying I didn't believe in talking snakes. He answered no it wasn't the snake it was satan talking through him. So i retorted 'Then why did god punish the snake'? He couldn't answer that and left.
