  WTS stupid analogies for how to live your life

  by tootired2care in

  1. jw

  one of the things that always bothered me about the wts teaching, is that they take these passages from the bible about a soldier, or battle, or staying awake, being urgent etc, and then use that to justify their points on how you need to live your life each and every day.. for example some brothers came over for sheparding (don't we all love those) and read a scripture in nehamiah somewhere about how the families had to camp between the wall sections to protect the city from invaders while rebuilding jerusalem.

  the point he made was that since your family is right there you be more inclined to staying awake and defending that section more vigorously.

  then he proceeds to use that into gulting me into doing more, reaching out etc.

  Many, the world is like a pulp that traps you. I have to laugh at that one coming from them.

  information control.

  source : http://web.archive.org/web/20000229154513/www.geocities.com/wallstreet/7209/mind.html.

  through out history, mankind's governments and religious organizations have restricted their citizens from reading, viewing and speaking any information that was critical or expressed a different viewpoint other than was taught by the government or religion.

  Who controls the information somebody gets, controls the conclusions they will reach.

  Pure evil, specially when you look at the results.

  By What Authority?

  the jws, catholics, mormons, and a handful of others say they are the "true church" or what jesus originally intended.

  i know jws call themselves the "true christians".

  by what authority - outside of the bible, since 41,000 denominations use the bible to back up their individual beliefs - can jws make this claim?

  Rbih, you don’t sound very Japanese or Buddhist-like to me.

  I will now move on to another thread, please stop mentioning me and repeating yourself over and over again.

  Good luck with your pagan beliefs.

  Rbih, the only one trying to force your point of view in a rather aggressive and ignorant manner is YOU.

  Get some self-awareness and stop harassing people that don’t agree with you.

  Take care.

  I have learned to say ''bless you"!

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. social
  2. humour

  for those born in or dragged in as little children, normal customs are not imprinted on our minds.. such as the simple saying ''bless you'' when somebody sneezes.

  this has frustrated my wife for as long as we have been together!

  she felt it very rude that when she would sneeze i would not respond with the customary phrase, i had to explain that it just was not part of my culture, not imprinted on me.

  It’s amazing how you don’t even realize that not saying it may seem rude to the person sneezing.

  I intend to say it from now on.
