  "Oh say can you see?"

  by HintOfLime in

  2. experiences

  just a curious question.... how many ex-jw's here have yet to perform a pledge of alliegance or sing the national anthem?

  now that i think about it... after years of 'standing firm' and refusing to these things as a 'brainwashed babe' - even in my wiser years i haven't done them.. do you feel any reistance toward doing so?

  are you proud of your country?

  i think romney will be the guy but i have my doubts that he will beat obama because no one seems to be in the lineup that anyone wants to embrace..

  Romney, and it's still too early to give a serious prediction as to where the ball may bounce. I'd like to see where the economy is heading, as well as the choice of VP candidates before I answer one way or another. I do have a feeling that as with the last election, by October you should know who's taking this. Right now all I hear are giddy Democrats and self-loathing Republicans. The final analysis is somewhere in between.

  Where did this "God lives in the Pleiades" notion come from?

  by james_woods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the other thread with this name in the title made me think of it again.. i know the witnesses used to say this - and for sure, there are other religions that think this as well.. the fundy-baptist preacher that my sister got to do my fathers funeral made a big deal of it during the service - (why, i cannot fathom...).. so, can some kind scholar here give us a short course in why this particular star formation is so most holy?.

  If there ever was a Venn Diagram marking where Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientology mingled, this Pleiades nonsense would be it.

  Zilch. Never had a Bible study, never pioneered, and never donated a cent.

  Oh you guys said it for me. I couldn't even get through the entire video if I tried. It just isn't amusing anymore. Kind of like watching Larry Holmes fight well into his forties. Painful and pointless. Henschel always struck me as a charmless and paper-pushing hack. Lloyd Berry would have been a better choice. At least he was in writing.

  WOW Scientology rants like Watchtower

  by Refriedtruth in

  2. scandals

  scientology teaches that humans are infected by the souls of dead aliens called thetans.

  jehovah's witnesses teach jesus had his second coming invisibly october 5th or 6th 1914. scientologists waterboarded and beat me, says former church official.

  the sun-feb 16, 2012... she was waterboarded as part of the cult's twisted bid to control members.

  Miscavige is a sadist who is bent on domination and humiliation. He surrounds himself with sycophants like Cruise who are dazzled by his sharp dress, powerful speaking style, and absolute power. Same kind of mind control techniques, but different philosophies altogether. As Tom Cruise once told an interviewer: "If you don't like Scientology, then f*** you. No. Seriously. F*** you." They're wired on a different kind of energy that most Witnesses don't have. No way you'd get these people to sit in a coffee shop while counting hours for Scientology.

  Anyone would have gray hair if they had to deal with the WTS claiming they spoke for you since 1914. Daddy would have to be a bit cross with you about who you chose to represent "the family" on earth.

  When their money starts drying up, they'll start handing out forms asking for your credit card number with the boxes for the amount and "Make this a recurring monthly donation?" pre-checked. All you'd have to do is just fill out the card info and hand it back in. Isn't Jehovah's organization just wonderful?! If you changed your mind and cancelled the account, an elder would push another slip on you.

  Glad they don't pass around collection plates! They know they'd get a bunch of low currency notes and some loose change.

  "Ooooohhhh I just CANT WAIT for Armageddon!"

  by TimothyT in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in my congregation i could name at least 10 brothers, and likely more, who just couldnt wait for armageddon to come.

  the way they spoke about it clearly showed that they were just so excited.

  you could just see their eyes light up at the prospect of the wicked being destroyed and removed from this earth.

  Armageddon meant that you could stop paying your bills and going out in service. Then once the initial clean-up was finished, you could then pick out a nice house for yourself. I looked forward to it because it meant a whole lot less responsibilities.

  has anyone seen this year's memorial invitation?

  maybe someone could post a picture.. on the front is a question to the householder, 'how do you view jesus?'.

  then it gives multiple choices with accompanying pictues: .

  I still can't get the WT depiction of Jesus out of my head. He looks like he's a spokesman for Hair Club For Men in a toga. The beard is neatly trimmed and the hair is curly but conveniently cuts off just below the ears.
