  Have you ever known a holocaust denier? How did you feel about them?

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i sometimes did work for a lovely old couple who at times needed repairs done around their home.

  my wife and myself spent time with them, having tea and crackers from time to time.

  one day the husband and myself got into a conversation and he clearly showed himself to be a holocaust denier.

  Apparently they read what they want and ignore the rest.

  That's true of most people - with all sorts of preconceptions and agendas.

  A man hears what we wants to hear and disregards the rest.

  I did some research on his last name and it was the same as a family owning a major German industrial corporation involved in all kinds of war manufacturing during the Nazi era.

  
  

  It wasn't Farben by any chance was it? IG Farber was a major user of Jewish slave labour from Auswitch during the war.

  IG Farben then went on to become BASF, Bayer and Agfa amongst other companies.

  Would you trust your Doctor if he got things wrong??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just thinking..... assume we had a family doctor that we had seen all our lives, perhaps he had been the doctor for your extended family too.

  he is lovely man, very kind and honest hearted.. but if he had prescribed treatment or medication that was wrong, and had bad effects on you, then changed the medication to something else, then randomly changed it again etc, how would you feel?.

  if you did some research into him, and found disturbing facts and things in his history that made you question his qualifications, how would you feel?

  the future for the borg

  by pepperheart in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it look very possible that the borg could lose their charity status in both the uk and oz if this happens the jw will not have all the tax breaks for the buildings that they have now.and that the headquarters will have to start finding extra money.and as they have done so much cost cutting anyway these past years i think they will have to start selling kingdom halls off.

  one day at art class, we were told we were to draw a naked woman.

  i knew as a witness this would be wrong, but i awaited the lesson in anticipation, it would be the first time i had seen a naked woman.

  i remember sitting at my esal waiting ten or fifteen minutes for her to appear.

  Why Finding the One True Religion is Impossible

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws like to think they have found the one true religion.

  but like so many other religious people, it's usually the religion they were born into, the only religion they know because it's the first one they found or, at the most, one of two or three (typically the second one after they left their first / born-in faith).. the trouble is, there simply isn't enough time to explore and investigate each and everyone of the many thousands of belief systems, religions and sects around the world.. think of it this way: which is the best neighbourhood to live in where you would be most happy and most successful?

  not just in the city or even the country you are in, but the entire world.. how would you ever know?

  It's not impossible. I'm joining one religion a week until I got all my bases covered.

  Bible supports evolution

  by anointed1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the thread that runs through the details of bible is evolution.. .

  1) a nation believes that they are god’s chosen people and rest of the world is pagan.

  when the history unfolds, the so-called chosen people go under occupation by the so-called pagans.

  You should find out your compatibility first. Then you can offer your transplant. I would not discuss your medical plans with your sibling and only with the doctor. If you are a match and the recipient chooses blood free surgery perhaps you, if you are the donor, could choose surgery without that restriction. In the USA confidentiality laws limit what can be told to anyone so you could keep your decision confidential.

  The correct answer. Your medical procedures are between you and your doctor, nothing to do with your family.

  What is life?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was a jobo, i used to thing of 'life without end at laaaasssssst'.. having been on my journey out of the wbt$ slaveholdery, i have found that something that makes sense is that life doesn't owe us a meaning.

  psalms 146:4 was actually bangeth on the money-eth 'his breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.'.

  although i am now very atheist, and really do not even think there is the remotest possibility of a god, that bible passage is correct.

  LUHE - I sometimes think I should be striving for great achievements. My daughter tells me that just little things that bring joy each day should be good enough.

  Your daughter is wise - listen to her. The witnesses and other religious zealots will tell you how can not enjoy life if it doesn't have a purpose.

  My particular purpose today is to look forward to a nice meal out with the wife tonight.
