Jehovah is all powerful, so obviously he could do it and he DID! OK!? So STOP asking questions and just believe already! If the bible, which is completely reliable and obviously true, said it happened and Jesus, who deffinatly existed and acctually did and said everything the bible claims he did, mentioned that it happened. AAAAAAANNNNNNND the mountains and mountains of scientific evidence prove that the flood did happen, THEN IT DID PEOPLE!!! GAAAAAAUUUUUUSH!!!

But seriously, I still find it difficult to except the fact that very intelligent people still believe this crazy tale. My PO or COBE was a very intelligent man, yet he still believes this myth. I wonder if in the WTO, each member could choose for themselves whether they thought the Noah's flood account was a myth or true history, what would most members choose to believe? I think many members would choose to discredit its historical accuracy and call it a myth. Which would mean those people don't acctually believe it to be true, but they put away the doubts because they have to. I would say my father is in exactly that possition. Could be wishful thinking though.

Pioneers and Their Way of Counting "Time"

by Eiben Scrood in

jw
friends

in the congregations in my area there was an expression to the effect that 'there's counting time and then there's the way pioneers count their time'.

the watchtower's guidelines were pretty strict on when time could be counted.

some pioneers followed it and others didn't.. on particularly motivated young man comes to mind, he would work full-time or close to it and pioneer.

My favorite calls to do we're in the country. Drive for 30 mins only to find the person not at home, then head back. Two Tim Horton stops along the way were necessary of course. But paying for the gas was a real bitch. Come to think of it, service was damn expensive. Coffee, breakfast, coffee again, lunch, snacks, another coffee. Then there is all the gas you burn. Plus lost wages for the days service would work. Expensive! I did choose it though, so I'm not blaming anyone for it. Just thinking out loud. What was the thread again? Oh ya! Well I pretty much counted my time in ways that would make a nonexistent god shudder. Maybe that's one reason I never felt good about my ministry.

Did You Believe You Recieved "Blessings" From Jehovah or "No Blessings" Because Of What You Did?

by minimus in

i got a kick out of how many times jws were told that the reason something good happened to them was because they recieved "blessings" from jehovah god.

and if they were going through tribulations and tough times, it was quite probably due to their failing in some way.. did you believe jehovah wasw sometimes blessing you or cursing you?.

BreathoftheIndianNose

Always. When bad things would happen I would amount it to the fact idea that Jehovah turned his back on me because of something 'evil' that I had done, like watch a bad movie or listen to bad music. I never felt the same conviction as my friends did, so I interpreted that as being a lack of holy spirt. Turns out it was a lack of gullibility. Damnit I hate the organization! Just realized, right now, how furious I am.

Do you have a favourite scripture?

i have two.. luke 4.

16 he went to nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom.

he stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet isaiah was handed to him.

2 kings 2:23-25

2:23 He went up from there to Bethel. As he was traveling up the road, some young boys came out of the city and made fun of him, saying, “Go on up, baldy! Go on up, baldy!” 24 When he turned around and saw them, he called God’s judgment down on them. Two female bears came out of the woods and ripped forty-two of the boys to pieces. 25 From there he traveled to Mount Carmel and then back to Samaria.

God can get away with the craziest shit. If I did this, I'd be in prison getting continually raped. God does it, and billions of people still think he's the bees knees. I gotta learn his tricks so I can start murdering large groups of children and still have a growing fan base.

The moral decay of the younger generation is disgusting. I mean, just look at the way those two are making funny faces into the camera. Sick! And then he has to show the picture of them making funny faces to good brother suit jacket. Where is your dignity brother slightly long hair no suit jacket?

My Dream Has Come True latest tower last page

"my dream has come true" i have a bullshite story in the latest watchtower..

BreathoftheIndianNose

Wow! Jah really answered her prayers! Unfortunately for every story like this, there are 50 stories where Jah decides not to intervene and people either have to quit their job to pioneer or attend the Friday sessions of the convention, or they have to forgo those things and keep their jobs. I wonder how Jah chooses who's prayers to answer and who's not to answer?

Was everyone surprised by how nice worldly people can be?

by Inisc in

jw

i, like most born ins grew up being taught that everyone who was not a jw was inherently wicked, that they were dishonest, unloving, selfish, bad parents who don't care about their children, and also sad empty people with no direction in life.. as i grew older i started to see that this wasn't always true with every one, that what i was taught wasn't equating with what i was seeing.. by high school i could see that my friends at school, (yes worldly friends eek!

) we're actually decent people with morals, they may have engaged in a little fornication here and there but not promiscuously, and they were good honest people, with goals and parents that cared for them.. but after high school i was phsycologicaly bullied into ceasing contact with my friends altogether, leaving me with little contact with outside world, and the cult mentality had more room to grow, not fully, but enough to unconsciously not fully trust 'worldly' people.. however, once i'd left the org and began to meet people again, i was amazed at actually how good, honest, loving, kind, and caring many people can be!

who love their spouses and children and try their very best to be good parents and partners.

I still have very hard time accepting it. And I am almost speachless out of surprise when someone shows they genuinely care for me. When they take time out of there day to listen and try their best to understand, it blows me away. I tend to wonder what it is they want from me, because of being taught that all worldly people are too selfish to care. Even though I know it's not true that all worldly people are evil, selfish and conniving, it's still hard to get past that brainwashing I've had since childhood.
