  Article to discuss or argue over: Buddha, Abraham, Jesus and Muhammed: Larger-than-life historic figures or largely legends?

  by AndersonsInfo in

  i've posted a link to an article that contains important food for thought.

  as we search for information to free our minds and hearts of cult-like thinking which entails being able to critically think, we need to ponder research that is available to help us to make important decisions.

  we need to allow ourselves to consider other possibilities, something that jw’s are discouraged from doing.

  Posting this link is an endorsement that it is worthy of serious consideration. The article is obviously slanted to an agnostic or atheist viewpoint. It will provide further ammunition that you are mentally diseased and your claims about child sexual abuse are consequently highly suspect. Unfortunate in my opinion.

  Also, in my opinion, the article is a work of pseudoscience and does not merit any serious consideration. Regardless of your beliefs I think that an honest reader of the Bible can come to no other conclusion than that it stands out as different in comparison to other ancient religious writings.

  Ah yes! Time for the overtly commercialized modern celebration of Saturnalia. Strange how so many exJWs go for this crap.

  Funniest insults

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. humour

  so, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.

  literal meaning: bury yourself.

  "go and bury yourself".

  2/2022 WT: a repeated request & more doubletalk

  by neat blue dog in

  we all know the now famous quote, "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

  " well, this point is regurgitated in the latest wt, along with yet another new bunker scene:.

  "during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical .

  We are all free to do what we are told!

  As an example, denim is clearly a machination of the Devil 👿

  The rank and file are too stupid to make big decisions like buying a pair of pants, so really need counsel about what kind of work to do, choosing a baby sitter, watching a TV show, buying a car, buying a house, getting a credit card, getting a pet . . . . To infinity and beyond!

  Renting to a Witness of the opposite sex...

  by James Robinson in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i need a question answered.

  i know of a situation where a single sister took in a single brother as a renter, so she could be his caregiver, as he was very along in years.. long story short, they were forced to get married.

  i believe it was labeled under "appearance of evil" by the elders.. my question is: what do the elders base this on?

  The Poor the Wealthy and the Middle Class

  by Simon in

  2. current

  the poor spendthe middle-class savethe wealthy invest.

  the unique circumstances of the lockdown and stimulus checks has highlighted these differences in stark ways.. on one hand, you have jumps in sales and valuation of companies like foot locker and nike, as people spend their "free" government money on sneakers.

  they blow it on useless tat.

  In a relatively short time it won't matter if you had a lot of money or were very poor or if you retired late or retired early because we will all be in the same position: being dead. Not long after that we will all be forgotten as if we had never lived.

  Follow The Truth

  so it seems that donald is set to launch a social media platform called "truth social".

  if you start the sign up to go on the wait list you are asked to "follow the truth".

  uncomfortable.. maybe it directs you to wt.borg.
