10"True Story" - movie about Christian Longo
by OrphanCrow ini just watched "true story" on netflix.. http://www.truestorymovie.com/.
disturbing.
it is about the relationship between christian longo and the journalist, mike finkel, who wrote a book about londo's murder of his family.. a person has to wonder about how dangerous it is to plant the notion of the dead being resurrected into the mind of a narcissist.

Only God himself had no beginning. He alone is unique in that regard, existing completely outside of time, yet able to transcend time at will. Time was just another invention of his. -

Oh, we have a beginning alright, just no end. Imagine being without a body, in total darkness for eternity, separated from God and anything that could be called good.
We were made for a purpose, and that is to be able to comprehend God and much of his creations, and to enjoy him and fellowship with him forever. This characteristic of the construction of man was necessary since God is eternal.

I doubt many JW's believe they would be resurrected after doing much less that that nut case did. The real problem with JW teachings is the unbiblical teaching that your consciousness will cease upon death.
None of us will ever be able to stop being conscious. It will go on forever and ever and ever and ever. God even let's us choose where we will spend eternity, depending on what we do with Jesus.
The simply fact is that we were made in the image of an eternal being. Our consciousness is eternal, and there is nothing either you or I or anyone else in the universe can do about it.
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in tormentsFor unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

No Sports Cars Please!
by snugglebunny ini read on a jw forum that jw's came in for disapproval if they drove either sports cars or 2-door cars.
the reasoning was that a driver couldn't easily take fellow dubbies out preaching in such a vehicle.
was that ever official policy or just local nonsense from a grumpy po?.

If you didn't buy a 4-door car you were talked about in the congregation rumor mill and tagged as selfish and materialistic.
I once wanted to buy a performance car and a good field service car. So I bought a Jaguar XJ-7 Monarch. I think I still got "labeled selfish and materialistic" but had no trouble filling the car for "return visits".

this story of a jehovah's witness who became catholic is at the top of the heap.

I never understood why people leave a shitty religious organisation, to fall directly in the arms of another organisation
Well, I think it is quite easy to understand. When faced with the ridiculousness of materialism to account for things like DNA, spontaneous generation, fine tuning of the universe etc, many people simply look for ways to try harder to earn God's approval.
The absolute last thing that anyone would want to try is actually trusting a King who rode into town on an ass, to take your personal punishment due YOU. Unless of course they had tried everything else first, which is what happened to me.
Badda Bing! Religion not necessary, just Jesus.

I'm ready to get my first Powerball ticket -- NOT!
by FatFreek 2005 init's up to some 800 zillion dollars now and hasn't suckered me in yet.
i've been out of watchtower for some 38 years now and i suppose the lottery is one of their nonoze.
i have nothing morally wrong against it or anyone who enjoys doing it.

The United States Powerball did not produce a winner last night. Next drawing will be this coming Wednesday with an All-Time Jackpot high of 1.3 Billion Dollars.
That is some serious Jack!
I am not quite sure why some of the Materialists on this forum are not excited. I mean they have bet their whole life on far, far greater odds:
Harold Morowitz, a Yale University physicist, has made a more realistic estimate for spontaneous generation. Morowitz imagined a broth of living bacteria that were super-heated so that all the complex chemicals were broken down into their basic building blocks. After cooling the mixture, he concluded that the odds of a single bacterium re-assembling by chance are one in 10 to the 100 billionth power.... To put this number into perspective, it is more likely that you and your entire extended family would win the state lottery every week for a million years than for a bacterium to form by chance.
If you are willing to bet your life on such odds, why not invest heavily playing a game with only a few dollars that have a far greater chance of happening?
Here's the safest bet of what is going on:
Romans 1:18 says, "God is revealed from heaven against all....men who suppress the truth...because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them...they...exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for... birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures." Romans 1:18 & 19
Quite a prophecy about evolution and Materialists! What are the odds of that?

Governing Body Letter details things that "have never been done before." - Really?
by cappytan in[note: copy/pasted this with permission from reddit.].
once each year, the governing body writes a direct letter to the congregation members included in the yearbook.
in his annual message to the catholic faithful (urbi et orbi) delivered on christmas day, the pope spoke about world peace, terrorism, and the refugee crisis.

Well put.
I don't really understand why doing things "never done before" would attract the faithful. God made it clear that:
though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Gal. 1: 8
The Watchtower has been doing things, and teaching things "never before done" since its inception. The gospel of:
1. Jesus not being your Mediator
2. Only the 144K Jews in Revelation are justified
3. The blood covenant isn't for "whosoever will"
.... are all things "never before done".
What's so cool about being cursed by the Author of Life?

Just thought this explains what all the excitement is about. I never "got it" as a JW.
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." —Matthew 1:23
His Birth and Our New Birth
His Birth in History. “…that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God (Luke 1:35). Jesus Christ was born into this world, not from it. He did not emerge out of history; He came into history from the outside. Jesus Christ is not the best human being the human race can boast of— He is a Being for whom the human race can take no credit at all. He is not man becoming God, but God Incarnate— God coming into human flesh from outside it. His life is the highest and the holiest entering through the most humble of doors. Our Lord’s birth was an advent— the appearance of God in human form.
His Birth in Me. “My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you…” (Galatians 4:19). Just as our Lord came into human history from outside it, He must also come into me from outside. Have I allowed my personal human life to become a “Bethlehem” for the Son of God? I cannot enter the realm of the kingdom of God unless I am born again from above by a birth totally unlike physical birth. “You must be born again” (John 3:7). This is not a command, but a fact based on the authority of God.

Promise:
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. - Micah 5:2 (Only God id from eternity past)
Delivered:
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
- Luke 2:11-14
It is my frequent prayer that people accept the peace that God offers through Jesus.
Merry Christmas !!!!!
