  Ever notice this about X JWs

  by JimmyYoung in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  its not just x jws but religious people in general.

  they feel free to post this crap on the internet about jesus is lord share this post, or some drivel but then if you post any thing that questions it you get jumped on like someone saying the earth is a globe at a flat earth convention.

  they can say what ever they want but don't dare question it.

  I love the definition of a Fanatic from a West Wing Episode (which many JWs and fundemetalists are).

  A fanatic is someone who won't change their mind and can't change the subject.

  I have found that contrary to what I had imagined. That lots of X JWs have turned very right wing. After having been enslaved to that type of fact free, black and white, judgmental life in the cult, I would not have guessed that so many would gravitate to that. I see some who seemed to have traded one cult for another, often with eerie similarities.

  Im sure I will get many dislikes for this OPINION of mine.

  Freedom - I had PILES as a pioneer, and I would overstated my number monthly.

  6 mags would turn into 16 placed:)

  20 would turn into 40.

  Then as a regular pub I would always say I placed at least 10 though for years I avoided D2D
  You know as an Elder you gotta set the example :)

  Flood over everest

  by road to nowhere in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  meeting part comment on how the flood covered everest.

  that is even more ignorant than mountains being pushed up and eroding in a few thousand years.

  and it wasnt cold either.. i should have commented on the bristlecone in the awake that survived the flood.

  Just FWI - one of the 100 things that make the "water canopy" posed by the WT utterly stupid and impossible is this:

  Ask who thinks there was one this question. So how much do you think it rained? No no one is gonna say like 30 ft, or 50ft. They are gonna go pretty high. Just say for giggles they say 500ft.

  Remind them if that was the case. Atmospheric pressure a at sea level would be like you were living 500ft under the sea. Any thing living on the ground, like all mammals, would have been crushed by that type of pressure. So the nice snake that Eve talked to, could not have existed then. Nor any bears or lions that Adam snuggled with.

  Also not one bird could have lived or flown.

  Now if they say, like what I have usually heard, "maybe a mile of water" well that makes the argument for a canopy even sillier.

  There are many simple irrefutable common sense arguments against the flood without getting to technical.

  TOTAL BULSHIT.
  No real list would have a magazine that is not only given away, but usually forced on people or left at laundromats.

  More than 50 million copies are sold in a month in major countries of the world

  Will God resurrect our beloved pets? What do you think?

  by Pallbearer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower doesn't hold out any hope for us ever seeing our beloved animals again.

  i find it very difficult to believe that god -- a god of love -- would refuse to resurrect an animal that we had become so attached to.

  over the years i have bonded with no less than four (4) dogs, all of which were/are like family to me.

  True Story

  Even as a ALL IN ELDER, UBER ELDER in fact, I had to battle this over and over to no avail.

  I had a part and an elders wife made the comment about there being NO RAIN till the flood.

  So after the meeting I told her nicely that that was very old thinking, and not accurate.

  I showed her in Genesis where there were 3 rivers in Eden and asked her, so where does the water come from for rivers. She reluctantly kinda agreed. (I know she never changed her mind).

  WORSE

  
  

  A friend who at the time was a MS, and someone I thought was reasonably smart made the same comment to me.

  When I told him, well we dont think that any more, and the 3 rivers thing, he seemed to not get it.

  I asked him how do rivers form, where does the water come from, his answer floored me.

  "The Ocean I guess"

  OMG!!!! I wanted to just explode.

  FYI - the WT has said for many decades that the mountains pre flood were much much smaller. They dont say that the flood covered Everest.

  They say tons of silly bullshit - we don't need to embellish.

  Gwyneth Paltrows candles in the wind

  by smiddy3 in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  are you put off with gwyneth paltrow`s marketing of a brand of candles she advertises as "smelling like my vagina " ?.

  she sure has gone down in my estimation as an actress and /or role model for young women if that what she was ever about in the first place .. how gross is that ?

  and the interview i saw after this with her was one big joke ?

  Sounds great to me!
  
  She is also promoting psychedelics now wich has been shown over and over in clinical trials to be A) not toxic B) so helpful with many issues like depression and addiction.

  So as fruity is some can rightfully think of Gwenny - she is doing good by my book.

  No one has to pay her any mind if they dont want to by the way.

  Columbia Heights ?
  

  Really? I guess since no GB there anymore.

  I went to that one a bunch of times when a close relative was volunteering at the branch there on a number of stints.
