Faders Needing a Great One Liner

by Solzhenitsyn in

so our family fade is well under way.

we changed congregations as regular attenders and left in good standing with those giving hugs and kisses simply knowing we "needed a change".

we moved to a neighboring congregation that is out of our original region knowing we would see no one and the two boe's wouldn't really have immediate dealings.

Say you can't tolerate organizations that are run by men only such as the muslims, catholics, and the like, and you are waiting for the governing body to appoint a woman, since they do allow them to declare themselves anointed. Ask them what is their opinion of women becoming in charge and would it make any organization run better.

If Angels in the Bible are of neuter gender ? Then why are they always depicted as males by description and name ? And never a female ?

by smiddy3 in

in all of the art i`ve seen in christendom, angels always have the form of a male, and in the bible those that are named always have a male name such as michael ,gabriel , etc, .

nowhere in the art world that i have seen do angels have the female form, and in the bible they don`t have female names.. so if the angels are neither male or female why then are they depicted as males with male names ?and not female also ?.

the watchtower illustrators also follow this line .when they illustrate an angel it is always in the form of a male and never a female form.. the anointed who make up the 144000 comprise of male and females right ?

I guess that male angels might have looked on Eve and wished they could overlap into the generation of adam and eve.

Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?

by TerryWalstrom in

jw

banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

Maybe if banks could overlap each other there would be no more failures

The Hypocrisy Of Jehovah’s Witnesses

by minimus in

celebrating holidays is wrong if you are a witness.

but almost every jw that i know of has turkey on thanksgiving day.

they say , every day is a day of thanksgiving.

Betheliesalot

I heard it said that you only have one "birth" day and each successive year is just an anniversary of that event. Therefore it is an anniversary and there is no restriction on this terminology . So on your next birthday, just announce you are celebrating your anniversary and all will be fine.(sarcasm inserted here)

Conversation with my Dad today concerning the Leah Remini show

by joe134cd in

joe : i don’t quite know how to tell you this dad.

dad : what daughter .

joe : dont get mad or offensive, but there was a documentary that aired a few nights ago on prime time tv in the usa concerning the jws, and there was some very nasty stuff mentioned, and it certainly wasn’t positive toward the organisation.

Betheliesalot

DVr,ed this on the nite of the airing and looked for it again and my uber pioneer had erased it. Lucky for me I set it to record the series and I got it back. Im sure this one will be deleted too, just hope it is watched at least a little.

Why Do JW Speakers and GB Members Sound So Robotic?

by minimus in

jw
friends

everyone sounds like they came out of stepford wives.

.

is this supposed to be the way witnesses are to speak?

Betheliesalot

anything that they do that is the exact opposite of mainstream religious orders where most of them yell, scream, and cry on stage to get your attention(and money). JW,s want to appear to be in control and matter of fact that they really do have the truth. At least they want to give the impression of calm and reason when compared to Christendom,s preachers like Swaggart and Billy Graham who almost had you in tears by the time they are at the conclusion of their sermon.

Reminded me of this song that was popular around 1975? "Smiling faces...dont tell the TRUTH"

Mentally diseased ANOINTED!

by Normalfulla in

my aunt is a super uber jw, albeit a little more delusional than the standard issue jw.

she has 4 kids all who are out and never baptised, she's a widow now and sold the family home and has bought a new place and has plenty of cash in the bank.

my cousins are all very concerned because their mum has a new friend whos "anointed" and says jehovah has spoken to her and she will survive armageddon and so will her kids if she sticks close.. she has been paying out for holidays and vehicle repairs for this anointed sister and her extended family and my cousins are alarmed at whats going on and can see the situation for what it is.

I was wondering if notifing the elder opened his eyes that he would get in line for a few "free nuts" for himself.
