Anti-witnessing mistake by me !

by Phizzy in

a couple of times while i was anti-witnessing i have made a fundamental mistake, which was to try to show the believer that it was neither intellectually nor scientifically necessary for there to be a creator.

the discussion got to this point because i said i was an atheist.. this latest time was talking to a street preacher who was not a j.w, but he did the same thing they do, i.e not really listen to the points i made, tried to rubbish science etc.. i have decided when, (if), this happens again i shall say something along the lines of " whoa there !

you have done a huge leap from talking about your bible god to the matter of a creator, if i concede there was a creator, how can you prove it was your god ?".

Venus- [...] "Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve."-- Max Planck (Father of Modern Physics)

This comment from Max is one of the best , imo. Seems like no matter the religion, cult, race, ect we ourselves, no matter the way it is sliced,are part of the mystery. How can we not be. But to what degree? is my question..I digress.

Phizzy, The same has happened to me in regard other religions(not all I've been approached with , just most). For instance, several months ago when I was super low, a good meaning person came up to me and gave me the number of a preacher. At first I thought 'how nice', and the gesture was. Except somewhere in the conversation she said that as soon as I try to go to 'church' that the Devil/Satan will start his attack on me. WELL...hahaha, F%&@ that right up the ear. I thought 'Oh No', not another religion that teaches that bullcrap. I had been open to hearing what she said ( mostly it was the interest when I was so low by a stranger that really didn't seem have an agenda) until the devil attack was brought up. Then I told her that I dont believe in a 'supposed' God that would do that. To her credit, she was nice enough to say that she understood. And most importantly she didn't just shun me as a person and when I see her she is just herself without crossing the boundary. Something Jws simply do not have the ability/want or logic/reasoning to do.

I feel completely violated that I keep getting alerts from 'Amber' about a missing child from another state. Im mean Amber must be in her mid twenties by now. I've searched tirelessly, high and low, but no Amber. Maybe she doesnt want to be found. Idk. 😂

Umm... Anyone complaining about this would complain that people had no prior warning of escape, in the event of an emergency.

And Most all of us, Id ventute to say get Robo calls from scamers that have easy access to our IP addresses, that hack big companies/ banks ect... Plus freeze our phones, other devices and screw with the ablity to use them.

Meanwhile in 'land of the offended' they jump on FB after the alert and complain on social media. A place where nothing is private from would be prying eyes.

This is a non issue. LMFAO

MV8- the one with adam and eve leaving the garden and commenting on the sword. I noticed they are wearing animal clothes. They didnt eat meat so apparently a bear must have skinned itself out of shame for adams sin . ugg the logic of it all.

I had to many questions from a the age of 5 on.... no wonder I was thrown under the bus as often as the jws could. How dare I use logic.

Just a thought

by moley in

just a hypothetical question.

if the society was right and armageddon came a knocking would you want to live in a society run by the org and bully elders.. would rather die at armageddon.

i would.

In the words of my deceased great uncle (not EVER a jw). He just had listened to his sisters enough to know that they were in a brainwashing cult and had no problems telling them.

"Who in the hell wants to live forever anyway"???

His sisters (jws) demonized and talked shit about him until he died of course, in which case they are holding out for the resurrection when he will have not have his late wife of 30+ years, children or grandchildren. Just a new barley recognizable body. I imagine he'd be "resurrected" and within minutes POOF he is killed again. Can I get a 'Praise the lord'!!

You guys know the drill.

Taking children out on the ministry

by Freedom rocks in

can i ask your views on taking children out on the ministry?

.

do you have any experiences you can share of things you as a child/your children/grandchildren have witnessed on the ministry that they shouldn't have?.

caves

No. I dont feel children should be out doing field service.

Several experiences come to mind, heres one.

I was about 10 years old and I was out with our local pioneer (an elders wife) (she was a really nice lady and I probably miss that family the most) anyway,... We were assigned a rural territory, old farming community. There was this older Italian lady that invited us in, it was just the sister and I. So the Italian lady starts to tell us how happy she is we are there. She also informs us that her son is in jail. For in her words 'F&%*ing the neighbors horse' ...'again'. She said he used to do it to their own sheep but then her son decided to use the neighbors horses. She had a very thick accent and she went on and on and in great detail. The jw pioneer sisters eyes were huge. I was on the verge of shock and laughter but managed to hold it in. Then the Italian lady says that she needs a prayer over her lawn mower , that it started on its own the day before. That was it , we were out of there. I still get a goofy look on my face when I think about it.

I yelled at dubs today ( again )

by kairos in

jw
friends

so i roll up to the job site and looky there, two uber pioneer dubs dragging themselves down the sidewalk.

both ladies are in there early 60's and born in.. my heart started pumping, but i had to act.i was directly across the street from them.

i walked right to the sidewalk and said in a very loud, but not mean voice: "you can't teach overlapping generations from the bible!!

caves

Kairos-I just kept telling them things until they packed up and left after two or three minutes.

Yep, cowards.

Id carry a recorder if you plan on this again. Wouldn't want them to turn around and report you.

You know they can report stuff like that as stalking, but not pedophilia. yuck.

They sure cannot handle anyone speaking but themselves.

Might be a good idea to have some jwfacts printed out to carry around so you can claim that you too, are carrying a message.

Stay safe.
