Thoughts on Sundays wt about persecution

by nowwhat? in

so let me get this straight.

even though law enforcement has their hands full with illegal drugs and guns on the street, child traffickers, dangerous gangs and such.

they are going to now pool all their resources to confiscate bibles and religious literature?!

Of course! Its perfectly logical!!

Just like, all the Nations (who struggle and kill and send their kids to kill others, so they can KEEP their dominion over their piece of Earth) are suddenly gonna give that ALL up to defeat the religions that they and their people love and has been part of their culture for centuries.

And...

They are gonna do this buy relinquishing their sovereignty to the UN (who cant agree on anything), and send all their young boys to the UN peacekeepers I guess, with I guess all their Tanks, and Jets, and Missiles, so....

The UN with the kids from their country - can come back into their country and Kill their own people with impunity..

so that their young boys with the ARMS that they gave them so the UN could use, would destroy the Religions that they themselves are part of - because they figured out that religion is bad. And the boys who were sent to the UN to come back to their country will kill their own families because they practice the same religion they do.

This IS SOOO OBVIOUS!

Motivations for Watchtower leadership

by GetMeOutofHere in

i’ve struggled for some time with this question.

why would the elders, cos, branch committee, helpers to gb and the gb themselves devote their lives to progressing in the organization, if the whole thing is one big sham?

i have 3 ideas so far.. 1) money.

I agree with Blues Brothers.

But

They MUST be thinking - "whats going on, 1914 is so long long ago and nothing the GB has ever said in the past has come true."

Does Today’s Comedy Offend You?

by minimus in

jw

there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.

someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.

we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.

Eddie Money and Ric Ocasek RIP

by peacefulpete in

while i enjoyed eddie's music, ric was quite important to me.

my best memories of my youth were to a cars soundtrack.

my first "naughty" car (tr7) had a cassette player precariously balanced in the hole in the dash and the cars were in it more than anything else..

Ruba - EXACTLY how I feel.

So much lost life "just getting things over with" cuz paradise is coming next week.
Talk about never living in the moment and pissing time away. What a waste:(

psychological changes in the vocabulary of the wts.

i have been reading the publications of the wts since i was 6, 60 years now.

we were too poor to have more than one subscription for each magazine so i had to wait until my mother had read it (she let them pile up).

Amping up the FEAR cuz they are coming to get you - so you better listen to use or else - has been raised to an 11.

The many lies within the Jehovah's Witnesses religion

by Finkelstein in

jws think their organization is the most honest and righteous christian based faith in the world solemnly chosen by god because of that.

i thought it would interesting to evaluate the many persistent lies the jws propagate from the top leaders down.

first up the many lies and biblicaly unsupported doctrines made by the wts own leaders such as pin pointing the exact year and time of christ's return and establishing his throne in heaven, once in 1874 then 1914. .
