  The 1914 doctrine: How long it will last?

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one hundred years have passed and the society still supports this lie, which of course, is the basis of their other lies, like that of the unfaithful and not discreet slave appointed in 1919. however, i wonder, what will happen after 50 years, when the overlapped generation will pass?.

  and if you want, what will happen with this religion in 2100?, could it survive with the same lie??

  ?.

  What's the point?

  by punkofnice in

  i mean, i don't want to be miserable or anything, but what's the bloody point of it all?.

  since i left the watchtower cult, i have come to realise that god cannot possibly exist...and if a god exists...god is indifferent to humankind as the least.. in 100 years time i'll be gone.

  kaput.

  The Threat From Ebola by Somebody Who Discovered It

  by cofty in

  this interview in der spiegel is well worth your time.... peter piot was one of the scientists who discovered ebola in 1976. turns out it was the fault of catholic nuns who coldn't be bothered to sterilise the needles they were using to administer vitamins to pregnant women.. he describes the present outbreak as "a perfect storm" which could claim a frightening number of lives in africa and india.

  he doesn't see it as a serious threat to countries with a modern health care system.. "i still remember exactly: one day in september, a pilot from sabena airlines brought us a shiny blue thermos and a letter from a doctor in kinshasa in what was then zaire...".

  Could the Ebola virus be the new weapon of Jihadist extremists ? , against the Western Alliance ?

  by smiddy in

  1. social
  2. current

  we all know too well the barbaric atrocities the jihadist muslim extremists go , to reign their brand of terror in the west to instill fear amongst the population , with limited affect so far.. one of their means has been the use of willing suicide bombers in different parts of the world to cause fear.generally with limited casualties.. what if they decide to try and use the ebola virus with willing people ready to infect themselves and spread it internationally.

  the ebola virus can cause dozens , hundreds , thousands , untold numbers of deaths in many parts of the world.. .

  my concern now , and i think every nation should be concerned about this is , what if they try to deliberately send people into ebola infected areas , in africa and then have them fly out to whatever their home destination might be , spreading the disease far and wide in europe , america , the united kingdom , australia etc.etc.. i think these muslim extremists will use any means to bring down western society , any means at their disposal ,regardless of the cost.. what do you think .. smiddy.

  They all laughed when I insisted that the Yellowstone caldera was a threat...

  by Nathan Natas in

  strangely enough, jesus never warned that "there will be wars and rumors of wars, but if the yellowstone caldera blows, we're toast.".

  ...and jesus' composite bride through the pages of the watchtower, never suggested that deeply-dipped dubs ought to move out of the area downwind of yellowstone, lest they be transformed in the twinkling of an eye into crispy monoliths.. but up here in the uadna orbiting space platform, things are different.

  we're rational.

  Stronger than Hypnosis

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  being the society is anti-hypnosis, i know very little about it.

  but from what i've observed it often involves willing participants focusing their concentration, usually involving repetition, until the subject is in a state where suggestions can be implanted in their mind.

  bite can involve hypnosis, but in many instances it may not.

  does anyone remember the book paradise lost to paradise regained?

  i was made to study the scary parts evertime i misbehaved which must have been all the time as the book imprinted into my brain.all i wanted in life as a child was to join the girl guides go hang out at the ywca with my friends and take part in sports day at school.so my mother asked the then congregation servant if i was demonized,they decided i would be fertalizer for my mothers pear tree.

  anyway i grew up fairly normal,took me ages not to be afraid of lightning.had children who never entered a kingdom hall.most of my family served in some capacity at bethel so they dont talk to me.since then i have been a searcher looking for somthing to fill the void.has anyone found anything??
