  Embarrassed by Aggressive Apostates

  xjw protests & videos.

  .. i am disturbed by some of the more aggressive apostates posting videos on youtube,like "a jw memorial to remember" where a drunk man goes to a memorial and downs the whole glass of wine as a sort of protest.

  this video and others like it received positive comments from aawa members.

  My theory is that they get nervous when somebody leaves and appears well-balanced, specially if there was no scandalous fornication case involved in their leaving Noah's Ark.

  They may be only drones, but as a group they are trained to drive ex-jws to madness. For example: group stalking, impertinent questions, while a number of them start ignoring you can be a very volatile cocktail, specially after you discover TTATT.

  Also some of the apostate sites don't look genuine, they look designed to find out exactly what was that opened your eyes or to dissapoint you, specially if you are on the first stages of waking up.

  Who knows what they come up with in order to explain the cases of successful apostates who start doing great in life after leaving the spiritual hell. It would be interesting to hear. Who could be a microphone on the wall sometimes!

  That's very dissapointing, you would expect that nowadays a corporation could survive without any external help whatsoever.

  There is also a more sinister aspect to all this crap, I remember lots of instances when a brother or sister would mention how an article in the Witchtower or a talk at a convention seemed written specially for them. Of course the implication would be that it was Jehovah's holy spirit not a controlling psychologist.

  How far could they potentially go in this enclosed and controlled environment if they set themselves to manipulate somebody for whatever purpose? Only madness knows.

  So basically here we have a multi-million corporation scamming people all around the world, and "not" using any external consultants at all and the US Government believes they are Disney.

  And if they actually do use external consultants, who are they? Who could they possibly be if you think about it really?

  Here is a bold interpretation of Apocalypsis: what if the misterious Babylon the Great, the Biggest Harlot of the Earth was not a religion but an intelligence agency? If that was the case when they finally fall not only the witnesses but the whole world will rejoice greatly.

  I am praying it will be very soon. Hallelujah!

  Abrahamism vs Gnosticism in a Nutshell :)

  judaism claims that the way to god is through obeying endless rules allegedly imposed by god.

  the great philosopher immanuel kant claimed that judaism wasn't a religion at all, but a mere body of laws.

  By their fruits you will know them.

  You do not get drones from an intelligent organization, do you?

  Or you do not get people that behave as if they were God from a good philosophy, do you?

  Countries are like people, for example in the US we have an elite of people that believe they are gods and that are filling the planet with drones, so it would be very helpful for everyone if they finally realized that THEY are the drones. We keep praying for their enlightment.

  In a way, the WT seems like a big social experiment in cognitive dissonance and the US government is a necessary colaborator.

  The occasional whistleblower would play the part of the apostate and you are not supposed to listen to him or maybe you do, so that after a due confrontation the good ones can win once again (as it was in the time of Rutherford when Jesus came down to clean the sanctuary).

  Big business keep growing at your expense and literally everything is for sale, but you consider that freedom as you are not aware that you yourself have been sold or bought by anyone.

  Conveniently the bad ones are organized in independent cells that have nothing to do with each other as they were all trained in Afghanistan by evil Osama bin Laden who was himself trained by the CIA. That means they are impossible to predict or control so anything that happens it was them even if they look like your harmless neighbour. He was always too quiet now that you think about it.

  The war on terror will obviously never end so wave good-bye to your rights and say hello to your barcode.

  The media keeps repeating that you are living in the freest society in the world and that other countries hate you for that freedom, but after losing each and every single one of your rights you still don't make yourself uncomfortable questions like: now who will be our next enemies and why?

  Grace is a marvellous gift that dignifies the receiver.

  Undeserved kindness is a kindness shown to the receiver that he does not deserve and that comes with a small note to remind him of that fact.

  suppose 10% of your nation were hardcore fanatics who can act as one - and they refuse to serve in the army or get jobs!.

  and they are the fastest growing group with a high birthrate....... some of the protest photos of them filling the streets are impressive.. .

  You need to be shameless to speak about a palestinian problem. They seemed to be doing quite well before they were invaded and massacred by the jews when they decided they wanted to grab that piece of land. If the orthodox don't agree with the state of Israel what are they doing living there? Jews are doing really well in most countries of the world, the only ones being prosecuted nowadays are those who dare to speak up for the palestinians.

  The gypsies also have a right to exist, how about gathering them all together at your place? Would you have a problem with that?

  The creation of Israel wouldn't have been possible without the UK, the only european empire that despite being the most absolutist (the Queen is also the Pope) and medieval in its social structure, managed to avoid all the revolutions that destroyed its rivals last century. Talk about mysteries.

  There is no freedom if you are not able to call a spade a spade, and the creation of the State of Israel is a Genocide.

  JW's Never Closed the Door On A Russian King of the North

  by scotoma in

  king of the north.

  union, the "king of the south" can be none other than the rival non-communist bloc, under the .

  so who is the king of the north now?

  If we go by the WT interpretation of Daniel, the logical king of the north would now be al quaeda.

  But it is quite strange to identify the king of the south as anglo-america when historically and politically, England and America acted as foes of the real king of the south: Rome, which is still standing as the roots of our western Christian civilization.

  The so called anglo-american power is more fit as the king of the north, trying to pass as the king of the south since the famous french revolution that debilitated the whole continent costing over 6 million lives and that ironically catapulted Britain as the new world power.

  So at this point, we can safely conclude that the king of the south is the natural heir of R-O-M-E, and that the king of the north is Wall Street or the usur-per.

  It is clear is that the king of the south is the one linked with God's people and that means that the king of the north are their enemies, whoever they might be.

  Why should the WT have the power to bully people into having or not having association with anybody?

  The WT acts as if they owned its members and that is a Human Rights violation.

  They wouldn't be where they are today without the help of America's government. In America the rights of Corporations are above the rights of citizens. That leaves the individual at the mercy of these organizations pretty much in the same way that people was at the mercy of the government in communist countries.

  The WT has 7 million drones in every country of the world for whatever purpose they want to use them.

  It is not a coincidence that America is the first exporter of sects to the world.

  The announcement so and so is no longer one of JW is figuratively a public execution and achieves the same thing: social control.
