Any drivers here recognise THIS scenario?

by The Fall Guy in

a bbc news report about a "hit & run" victim.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-46762571.

the "victim's" comments are laughable:.

Ultimate Axiom

Incognigo Montoya – a bit cruel sometimes, but still very funny. It reminds me of a time when I was on my motor bike, behind another one, and we were making our way through virtually stationary traffic in the one way system approaching Kings Cross Station in London. A couple just ahead, travelling in the same direction as us, just stepped off the kerb because of some obstruction without looking our way, causing both of us to brake. But instead of using his horn this guy gave his bike a huge turn on the accelerator, revving the engine with a sudden and deafening roar. I swear that guy leaped over three feet in the air, not to mention suffering a near heart attack. It was also a bit cruel, but I still could hardly stop laughing for the next mile or so. And you never know, maybe it taught them a valuable lesson.

Yep, just as there are plenty of dumb drivers playing with their phones as they drive, there are a lot of dumb pedestrians too. I've seen quite a few on my motor bike over the years. Am I being sexist, or are young women the worst offenders? I was on holiday on the Spanish Mediterranean a couple of years ago, and as I was coming in from a swim a young woman was wading through the waves in front of me with her phone in one hand and tapping the screen with the other, earpiece in her ear. I found myself wishing a big wave would come and wash over her. Some people can’t even go for a swim without their bloody phone. What’s the matter with them!

Jehovah's Witnesses including its leaders are in the business of lying

by Finkelstein in

......endeavored to create an image of the organization which they are a identifying part of.. when you think about this religious organization and most its social ideological expressions are expressed through lying.

its doctrines are lies and not supported by the bible.. the leaders intentionally twisted doctrines to enhance the proliferation of the literature the wts published, which were a false theology through their interpretation of the bible.

the proclamation that jws are generally good wholesome living honest people.. there is constant endeavor by the people involved to hold up a pretentious veil of honest righteousness identifying the organization and its adherent followers.

Ultimate Axiom

Its doctrines are lies and not supported by the bible

Not all of them. Whereas the bible is not very consistent about anything, so it’s difficult to say what it supports, I would say that on balance the WT stand, for example, on the immortal soul, hellfire and the trinity and doctrines that are not lies.

As for their position on lying itself, don’t forget that the bible is not averse to lying. Abraham lied several times saying Sarah was his sister, Jacob lied to Isaac when he impersonated Esau, Joseph had his family lie to Pharaoh about their occupation, God blessed the Egyptian midwives when they lied about Hebrew women giving birth before they arrived… the list is endless - and all done with God’s blessing.

So by lying when it suits them, the WT is practicing a doctrine that is supported by the bible.

JWs celebrating New Year's?

by neat blue dog in

there are a few active jws i know (separate, in different areas) who basically celebrate new years, having a party to watch the ball drop, posting about it on social media, one even saying literally "happy new year" .

but most other jws seem to not want to point out the elephant in the room.

has anybody else seen this, or ever seen it turn judicial?

Ultimate Axiom

Or is it overlooked like birthdays are with some?

I really don't know what they've got against birthdays, after all, they're good for you. Statistics show that those who have the most live the longest.

Unbelievable

by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

just received this on a very excited note from someone who is pimi.this is how some people start their year 2019.. very happy to say that the year 2019 marks for us 100 years out of darkness from babylon the great!.

additionally, it marks the 105th year of christ's rule in heaven (1914 a.d.), 2,021st year since jesus was born on earth (2 b.c.e.

), 4,391st year since the deluge (2370 b.c.e.

Ultimate Axiom

2019 also marks 105 years since Armageddon was supposed to have come. 94 years since it was supposed to have come again. 44 years since it was supposed to have come yet again. Take your pick for all the other times it was supposed to have come.

Library now cleared out

by UnshackleTheChains in

well, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.

during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.

i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.

Ultimate Axiom

Someway need to get this information into the cloud to out survive us

Quite a few someone's have. Virtually every book, booklet, Watchtower, Golden Age/Consolation/Awake! that Russell and the WTS have ever published - it’s all up there somewhere. Here's just a few places;

http://www.ctrussell.us/ctrussell.nsf/Watchtower?OpenView

I honestly can't think of anything printed in such quantity which has proved to be less useful

True, but it’s useful now. Useful in debunking their bullshit, so the rubish bin is the last place it should go

Another silly Bible story...brought to you by the ''old and tired Moses''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

exodus 17:8-16 new international version (niv)the amalekites defeated8 the amalekites came and attacked the israelites at rephidim.

9 moses said to joshua, “choose some of our men and go out to fight the amalekites.

tomorrow i will stand on top of the hill with the staff of god in my hands.”10 so joshua fought the amalekites as moses had ordered, and moses, aaron and hur went to the top of the hill.

Ultimate Axiom

I will completely blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven

My copy of this says, "I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven", but either way, Jah's done the exact opposite by inspiring Moses to record it in his infallible Word. Doh!

Ultimate Axiom

I don’t get it. We all know they don’t like their sheep looking at the really old stuff, but when did they ask people to get rid of their WT CDs? The Watchtower CD is still available on-line, and the WT On-line Library still has Watchtowers going back to 1950, and Awakes & KMs going back to 1970, so you can still view on jw.org the infamous encouragement given in 1974 to sell your house and enter the pioneer service. And the KH Library is a reference library, just because you can’t take the books out doesn’t mean you can’t read them. I have copies of virtually every magazine and book they’ve published since 1874, so while burning hard copies is a tragedy, it’s too late. The truth is out there.

Yet another example why you can't reason with a JW

by nowwhat? in

so i mentioned to my pimi brother that the org.

only grew by 1.4 % 2 years in row and if you factor in the birthrate of 1.1 % that's only 3/10 of 1% growth for all that hard work.

i thought people would be streaming to the mountain of jehovah in the last days?

Ultimate Axiom

Thanks recluse - took me a while, but I managed to figure out the last one all by myself.

This might sound strange, but I've not come across the acronym PIMI before. After a quick search on this site I’m none the wiser, except that I came across POMO, which I have also not heard of. Can someone please tell me what they mean?
