Is it worth making a JW Talk profile?

by Lemonp in

i have looked at the jw talk forums every now and again.

is it any use making a profile to get in?

mainly just to laugh at the pathetic discussion that they carry on with.

OneFingerSalute

From the jw talk site:

"It may take several days to get a response should a site representative in fact choose to do so."

How very JDubya of these cult controlled drones! Sounds an awful lot like the typical eldurr or branch phone operator!

Well where else could you find some pearls of wisdom like this little gem:

1 DAY TO JEHOVAH IS 1000 YEARS TO US

6 DAYS AGO: Adam and Eve appeared on the scene and sinned...and Jehovah made immediate plans to fix the situation.

39 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES LATER: Jehovah prevented the demons from returning to their original position and the flood took place, cleansing the earth...fresh start for humans.

10 HOURS LATER: The covenant was made with Abraham promising the ransom. The next day, the law covenant outlined the details of the ransom and plans were made for the ransom to be paid.

ONE DAY, ONE HOUR AND 48 MINUTES LATER: The ransom was paid.

TWO HOURS AND 15 MINUTES AGO: Jesus was enthroned and cleansed the heavens and finalized the Kingdom arrangement....

SO, IT WILL ALL BE OVER IN JUST A FEW MINUTES!!

A "few minutes"? That could be another couple hundred years of very soon!

True believers never save their money

by stillin in

it's an article of faith.

either god is going to save them or he is not.

since one local elder proudly told me that he never saved a nickel until just before his retirement, i've given this subject some thought.. savers are worldly..

OneFingerSalute

There is a very good saying, "Saved money is stored work."

For the average JDubya that saying makes no sense. They toil away at minimum wage, part-time jobs, have zero in the bank, no health or life insurance, and then bitch about being in their seventies still having to work and depend on others charity for home repairs, food, vehicles, and money to get to their precious ass emblies. But by god they sure have enough to buy the latest electronic gadget so they can worship the Guardians Of Doctrine.

Jehovah's Witnesses Royal Commission - Elders Can't Remember (Video Compilation)

by defender of truth in

not my work, by the way... newton's prisca theologia is the maker of this great video.. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=okpajgptvyk.

OneFingerSalute

This was almost painful to watch! But then again I find it difficult to tolerate stupidity and lying!

Perhaps they all should have said, "What difference, at this point in time, does it make?" Just like another professional liar did in the United States. It would have shown the same level of callous disregard for human lives.

VA shooting suspect was raised a JW! He mentions it on his Twitter account

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

How many doctrines exposed by Ray Franz in Crisis of Conscience have since been changed by "New Light"?

by Wasanelder Once in

i read coc long ago.

those of you more able to recall the text, i ask: how many doctrines did ray franz expose / comment on in crisis of conscience have been done away with due to "new light"?

i think it would be interesting to see if ray called bs on doctrines that were later changed because the governing body also realized they were bs.

OneFingerSalute

My memory is about as long as, well you know. . .but I think I remember reading that he had some questions about the teaching that the FDS was all anointed on earth as taught then, and that it would reasonably be only a small number, perhaps the governing body, and basically had that idea shot down?

I am sure someone with better memory than mine will remember and verify, or correct me if I am wrong.

Meetings Are Really Getting Fun

by OneFingerSalute in

so last night i got to have some more fun at the meeting.. the serve us indoctrination session was thirty minutes of interrogation and answers about the "these words must be on your heart" video.. question three was, "what scriptural formula leads to the best chance of success in raising children?

" then before any answers the conductor had deut.

6:6,7 read.

@FayeDanaway

I use over-the-top comments like the one in this thread and others to "tweak" those who are fully asleep and indoctrinated. Perhaps someone will hear the comment and think, "Shit, that really is how the JDubya's think!"

Have a wonderful rest of the day.

@purrpurr

Not likely, but at the risk of "outing" myself, I could always claim I heard it on TV or some such, I thought I would use the term and maybe, just maybe someone with their handy-dandy oh-so-spiritual tablet would research the term and begin to think.

Question three was, "What Scriptural formula leads to the best chance of success in raising children?" Then before any answers the conductor had Deut. 6:6,7 read. OFS got his hand up in the air, and got called on.

The answer OFS gave was, "We see from this scripture the BEHAVIOR that parents must follow in providing the INFORMATION their children need in order to display the correct THOUGHT process that Jehovah's Witness children should show. This will result in a good EMOTION and happiness for their children. A good acronym to remember for this scripture could be BITE, and the parents in the video showed a good example of how to do that."

Ah, the fun of the meetings. . . I wonder how long they will keep on calling on me?

The GB accepts questions about doctrine!

by DATA-DOG in

so i'm watching the interview with g-jack and he says that if a question comes up about doctrine, the gb have a meeting.

so my question is this, who questions anything and how do they submit a question?

he seems to painting some kind of "democracy" picture for the rc.. he also said that the 7 gb members can't possible know everything about doctrine...wtf???

What about the consciences of the flock who can’t abide by certain decisions they have made. So their consciences are more important than the flock and the flock must abide by their consciences?

Yes, they expect the R&F to blindly follow their conscience regardless of what a person's own conscience may prompt them to do. Their own printed words condemn them. . .again. This sentence in the quoted magazine said:

*** w96 9/1 pp. 23-24 par. 15 Living by the Law of the Christ ***

15. A Christian does not try to dictate what steps his brother should or should not take in matters that are not specifically covered in the Bible. --Romans 12: 1; 1 Corinthians 4: 6

So either they are not Christian, or they are liars. How many rules do they make that are not in the Bible.

That is why each, and every time any of the elders try to give me "counsel" I just hand then the Bible and say SHOW ME. Ninety-nine percent of the time that ends the conversation.

OFS Did It Again

by OneFingerSalute in

so once again i was able to make a comment to tweak those who were at this mornings wt parrot session using their own printed words.

the question on par.

10 was, "why is flirting dangerous?".

OneFingerSalute

@ToesUp

Actually yes, he did come up to me shortly after the final prayer and mentioned how he appreciated my unique perspective, and how it was refreshing to hear someone not afraid to "tell it like it is".

I guess he doesn't recognize sarcasm when he hears it.
