Do You Think It Possible That A Member Of Governing Body Would Ever Commit Suicide Because Of The Pain From Cognitive Dissonance?

by frankiespeakin in

i think as things get real tuff for the governing body that the build up of stress from dealing with a corporation founded on lies and manipulation of people that is comming to a head and all the lawsuits and possible criminal prosecution and the day today pressure of having all your decision back fire on you.. the final stage of wishful thinking is the nightmare stage where the whole delusion falls apart.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wishful_thinking.

i'm thinking just like hitler killed himself rather than face life anymore, that some on the gb may reach that stage..

No, because they've never been fond of real community service.

Everyday, 16,000 Muslims Convert to Christianity.

by Perry in

according to al jazeera.

why is this?.

Perry, A radical Islamic suicide bomber is essentially an acolyte who is seeking to be a true or real Muslim, and proving it by killing the infidel - carrying out gods will of destruction of non-believers. So when real christians view others as "inferiors" in secret or otherwise they are basically supporting the same ideals in the long run as the suicide bomber. What differs is the method employed; bombs in one hand while the other waits for god to destroy the non-believers.

Adamah - Great point about judging others, and it's kinda hard not to when there is thousands of different flavors of xtianity and each has to market their brand for membership. It has worked great for the JW's for the last century.

How about we all just be members of one religion, the religion of common good for all people of the world? How much time and energy has been wasted on the ignorance of people trying to convert them from one faith to another?

@Perry- Real Christians consider themselves as less than their neighbors.

Yes, that pretty much sums up the mock humility that is typical within Christianity, and lends support to what I mentioned. Additionaly, I don't recall anywhere Jesus ever said that his disciples should consider themselves less than their neighbors. Logically why would they consider themselves less than those on the broad road marked for destruction?

What is a Real Christian anyway?

Interesting dicscussion. Although many of the modern terrorists are sourced from Islamic fundamentalism, it wasn't always that way as others have brought out.

The bit that I find ironic is that the religious fundamentalism and oppression in lands that are predominately Islamic look a lot like countries that were/are predominately Christian centuries ago. Many of these modern day Islamic lands are still in the dark ages from that standpoint. However, one can't help but wonder how would a world full of Christianity untempered by secularism would look any different than the Muslim lands where people are routinely executed for daring to think differentely? In other words isn't the end game of Christianity the exact same as Islam, in that all the "bad" people will be purged to purify the earth so everyone is a worshipper of god? Inferring that Christianity on its own is somehow superior to Islam doesn't make sense.

I'd bet that once some of these new converts really start to examine the deeper truths of Christianity they would come to the same inevitable conclusion that in the end it is no better than the same "we're better you", "god is on our side" doomsday mindset.

Dinosaur Soft Tissue, Blood, & DNA Catalog of Peer Reviewed Papers

by Perry in

the world's most comprehensive catalog of peer-reviewed journal papers documenting the existence of dinosaur soft tissue, blood cells and dna is here.

can't we all just agree to finally give a 150 year old theory a nice funeral?

there is no way this stuff lasts hundreds of millions of years!.

Can't we all just agree to finally give a 150 year old theory a nice funeral?

Given that the bible makes zero commentary about the dinosaurs or past extinction events on earth, how about we do that with the bible instead?

The New Diary of Winston Smith

by WinstonSmith in

we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.

tootired2care

This is one of the best threads on the whole board!

I concur, and congrats on your DA, the letter had a nice positive tone to it. I wonder if they will really destroy your records, please keep us posted.

The Confessed Pedophile Who Raped Me Is Going To Be Made A Elder Again, Need Help Please!

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

years ago you read my horror stories about being raped by a jw.

i was nine years old when this took place, now the man has been getting all his works in order.

what do i do to stop the seventy-year old pedophile from getting his position back?

tootired2care

Bubblegum I'm so sorry you have to go through this, It's terrible. However, given that all of old wounds have already been opened with this what more do you have to lose by making a problem for him and embarrasing the WTS in the process? I assume by the fact that you're on here that you really don't like the Watchtower. If you want to cause the most damage don't answer yes or no if your okay with him getting re-appointed. Be vague. Hopefully he'll get re-appointed and then after he does tell the local news media, and put up a stink for the best revenge on him and the WT.

P.S.
And remember if he's appointed, he was appointed by holy spirit! LOL.
