the responder is bar-anerges (a popular jw responder on ya) and he is using a common fallacy or perhaps more than one in his response to the question.
will someone please assist me in narrowing down which one/s he may be using.
So the fact remains, Witnesses do not avoid answering any question no matter how "difficult." We just avoid perverse and slanderous individuals who have proved themselves to be vile apostates
translation.. any thing we don't want to answer is apostate
my 86 year old mother stopped believing she was going into paradise earth without dying first, about 10 years ago.
my aunt used to think she was going to make it through the great tribulation.
even a week before she died, she clung on to this fairy tale.. do you think jws believe they will never die at all and will, in their lifetime, be on a paradise earth to live forever?.
It's kinda of a big deal for them .. cuz if they get resurected.... they wouldn't have had to go out in service... and could have had some fun..
Didn't anyone else see this flaw in the Living Forever Gamble of your life
wow what a great updated jw.org website!
so where's the condolences for the victims and families of the sandy hook trajedy?
instead we get a story about the neon watchtower sign!
Because when it comes to non JW's, they don't give a damn. That's why they locked the doors after 911
or jw 's.. .
have they said any thing on the bus crash?
early yesterday morning i was driving through town on a street that rearly has any foot traffic and never at 7:30 am on a sunday morning and there they were.
a group of jbubs milling about counting time.
i drove a little further and there was a second group walking slowly down the street in the morning drizzle.
yep... just like amway.. they're their own customer...
but they spend more money on gas, to trick themselves into thinking they sell it to the world
jokes on them
they forces themselves to buy their own BS
when you were a jw did you get together with family or other jw's on christmas day?
most people have off so it would be convenient.
in my mind, if you got together with family or jw's shared a meal or drinks, perhaps watched a movie or played games you did celebrate the day.
and when I wasn't... Christmas day was exactly like any other day... just a day.
i'd like to throw something out to the exelders.. over the years since i stepped down as an elder, my dislike for the society and its ways has clearly grown.. but my love for the bible and my family and friends in the congregation has not got less.. i feel sorry that they are not mature enough to grasp the concept that you dont need the society to make god happy.. so i have been thinking ( and its just a crazy thought at the moment ) to requalify as an elder and to begin to really teach the truth.. to really challenge their thinking and take my talks to the limit without getting busted as a heretic.. whats youre thought?.

I was thinking of going in and overtly worshiping the governing body till it is so sickening that, "they" have to talk you down ... or is that even possible
LOl ..

why not!! go 4 it!!
i'll refrain from commenting on the shooting.
i spent 2 hours on fb last night doing that.
let's just say i'm a devout 2nd amendment supporter and believe more guns are the answer.. .
welcome.. I was raised in, out early TOO.. but still believed for some time.. good luck
in light of the shooting yesterday the question needs to be asked (maybe rhetorically).
what has god done to show he cares about mankind?
please dont be snippy, just be nice.. hey we deserve better dont we?.
nothing nada zip....
lets face it, if jesus had revealed to mankind some of the mysteries of the universe 2000 years ago , before modern science was able to catch up with it , then surely it would have been a bloody good indication he was indeed the son of god .
i mean to say, it was through him that all things came into existence wasn`t it ?
then physics , chemistry ,astronomy , would be a breeze to him .information of this sort would surely have exalted his name above any other in this day had he been able to reveal such knowedge ,we all would have been beleivers .. the fact that god never inspired him to do so , and he never thought to do so ......?
ha I hear ya man with big angel wings!!!
and I'm In The Front Row Hammered Drunk!!!!
