i read blondie's great summary of today's watchtower lesson and thought about all the christians who died from various deaths for preaching the word and because they really believed what they preached the watchtower asked something of this sort, "if you were a christian in the early centuries, could you boldly stand up to all the exquisite tortures hurled at the first century christians because they were not afraid to take a stand for christ or be cowards to evil!".
are you aware of any condemnation made by the watchtower against radical islam or any actions showing their courage and being no part of this world?
they attack patient christian religions but what about others, where is their courage?.
The WTS is anti-Christian, not anti-false religion. That is the reason they don't give a shit about muslims, hindus, etc etc.
I have seen some debates between Christian apologists and Muslims scholars about the deity of Christ. The arguments of the Muslims is striking similar to some of arguments of the WTS. Shave the beard and put on a suit and you really couldn't tell the difference.
personally i think this is wonderful.
i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.
a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.
If you look what is happening in Greece is it pretty scary. An entire first world country is going to go bankrupt and join the ranks of the emerging markets like Mexico or Egypt. The straw that really broke the camels was an unstainable pension system. Nearly 16 % of GDP went to the paying government pensions.
I don’t care if you want to be known as Mr. and Mr. or Mrs. or Mrs but the union of marriage is for economic benefit between too people for the procreation for the species.
Now everyone is going to get to use everyone insurance plans and be entitled to each other pensions because they had sex with each other ? Fook that.
Rant over.
the last article in this new wt, shows me that the organization is dealing with much information that is damaging them.
i am sure that the many recent lawsuits are being noticed by the r&f.. here are some gems from that article, titled the naive person believes every word.
we must be very selective about what we consider worthy of our attention.
Is the WTS becoming nuttier and nuttier ?
I say let em talk about 1914, or shunning, or blood, or GB every freaking week. At least it keeps the converts away. There hasn’t been a convert in my wives cong for years. Of course a few lonely weirdos show some interest till they start attending meeting and see how fucked up it is. The constant villainization of ex-member really show it for what it is.
It really sucks for the born ins though.

a short video with proof from the bible that the ones going to "heaven" are not meant to stay there forever, but just to meet jesus there (at the rapture) and be with him forever, on earth, not in heaven!.
Now I figured it out.
These guys ( Spirit and True International )are a splinter group of a cult called “ The Way “ international that kind of had it hayday in the 70s with other groups like the moonies.
Oh wow, this is all this board needs. Another freakin shunning cult.
Piss off

Also I have wasted many, many hours trying to figure out if heaven is the earth, heaven and earth are separate, do heaven and earth come together at the end of the 1000 years.
Who knows. Trying to crack prophetic bible codes is generally a waste of time. There are things we don’t understand. To a JW that is an impossible concept but it is the true.

I am not entirely sure the name of the group this guy represents but I am sure it is part Unitarian and part Hebert Armstrong world wide church of god. He may be correct in what he is saying but if you dig a little deeper it will get stranger. I know it is a group that is easy to get into too and hard to get out of.
my wife has a friend at her kh.
she is 37 and her friend is 88. i know it sounds kind of strange but they are both the wives of ubm so they kind of stick together.
my wife is very sincere in this friendship and this lady is a nice person.
How many elderly people do you care for DJS ?
What exactly is your claim to sainthood ?

The helping out thing just kind of started because we were basically neighbours. There was no motive other than keeping my wife happy. I/we have never asked for a penny.
I am just a little disappointed in this world wide brotherhood of Jehovah Witnesses and how full of shit they are about this world wide brotherhood and how loving they are, while us UBMs and apostates are picking up the pieces.
DJS- You are smug, self righteous, pompous snake in the grass,

I have spent the last five years of my life caring for someone like they are my own flesh and blood. I shovel the walks, I cut the grass, I pick up the dog shit, I drive her to meetings and assemblies and soon she might be living with us and I am cool with it.
I make the token appearance at the KH. I see some of the seniors with limited mobility have limited attendance. What really makes me angry is you know someone hasn’t been out in field service for more than three months because of age or mobility and they are treated different. “ Do I or do I not talk to this person, not technically a JW blah blah blah “ .
Man, the holier than thou bullpoop in this place is nearly has bad as the KH.
Yeah, I am pisses me off that so many inheritances and lifesavings end up in the coffers of the WTS , especially the way they treat seniors. Well, the way they treat everyone. I wish Hitler would have killed them all.
None of my business, God I hate having a conscience sometimes.
Mods please delete this thread.

I guess you are right but when you see someone who gave 60 years to the borg. and the people from the cong. couldn't even be bothered to pay their respects because it was a Catholic funeral, it really took classless to a whole new level to me.
Actually two JWs did show up and refused to stand during the prayer. I felt like walking over and just slapping them upside the head.
I am surprised this isn't more of an issue in the JW community, or maybe the average JW doesn't have anything to hand down.
