  Let me see... oh yeah I practised the usage of theocratic guilt tripping my friends. I learned to quote the WTS to make others miserable. I guess that's not a hidden talent, not really.

  Cave art pictured what was necessary for the artists survival --- meat. The art would've been drawn to attract good luck in animal husbandry or hunting. Their obsessive interest in survival is THE reason we are here today.

  Hidden Images in the JW Publications

  by Hunyadi in

  2. scandals

  i am a disfellowshipped brother and have never had a problem with the organization's doctrines.

  i am, however, deeply disturbed at the undeniable use of hidden or subliminal images in the illustrations of the wt publications.

  there are so many that it cannot be interpreted as anything other than a deliberate pattern.

  Hunyadi, Welcome and thanks for an interesting post... One thing that really caught my eye is the grotesqueness of WT art. Good grief JWs actually let their little kids see this stuff! I am amazed I never considered it evil but those depictions are gross just plain gross.

  What is the difference between Christianity and Paganism?

  by CruithneLaLuna in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently i had the opportunity to read the first three or four chapters of a very interesting book: the jesus mysteries : was the "original jesus" a pagan god?

  i regret that circumstances prevented me from completing my reading.

  i may choose to purchase a copy of this book for my personal library, and so that i can finish reading it.

  Religion is religion no matter what label you put on it. The differences in religions is generally of cultural /historical traditions of the adherents. That's why the Catholicism of Rome, Spain , Egypt or Mexico are all slightly different, absorbing the cultural differences are a very sane way to get proselytes. In fact the Jews had originally done this but then outlawed "mixing" culture ie., religion.

  Jesus' history is far removed from us in time. As we get the chance to study the 1st century history of Israel we also need to go further back into Hebrew history. The idea of One God was well suited to the nomadic life of the Hebrews. The dietary laws are an excellent clue to the lifestyle of the Israelite ancestors ie., nomadic. For example, pigs are not a good choice for nomads. It had nothing to do w/ disease, and everything to do w/ keeping the folks on the move. Also, women are not going to do well healthwise on the move, so lets make women dirty! The Israelites took the ideas of moving with their herds (Canaanites) to sacking cities and establishing nomadic trade roots.

  I am really glad to read about your brother. To overcome that evil father and then rescue the family, well it's wonderful. I think the fact that he halped you all helped to get your selfesteem back because you realized you were worthy of love and kindness. I'm happy for you and your family.

  Well, now I have finally decided to get playstation for the 11 year old. And I just bet Mr.Panda needs an Xbox (he doesn't really but it'll be my excuse to get one) I noticed that the George Lucas games are for Xbox. Is that because they are played on the net? I really have no idea what I'm talking about ... but in a few weeks I will.. Merry Christmas.
