Engage them in circular religious debates that go nowhere while being as smug and pompous was possible. Make sure you refer to Islam as " false religion " and act really surprised when they become offended.

Then later invite them to assembly and literally see if you can bore them to death.

Maybe someone from the humanitarian and development division of the Watchtower and tract society can help you and your family. Maybe help re-located to you and your family to a western country and give the needed funds to start a new life.

Oh wait, the WTS wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

The solution is more field service and prayer.

If you are killed, at least you will get an Awake cover.

Elders, oh my God what a bunch of losers!

by Crazyguy in

ok i don't mean to put all of them into just one box so to speak, their are some that are smart successful etc.

but my god most of them are just wasted space, ignorant, no drive, horrible jobs, make nothing for income and the only thing in life they have going for them is this title.

no wonder so many will not wake up and hold on to this stupid cult, it's all they have.

I have always found most halls are usually controlled by one or two narcissistic bullies who surround with half retarded yes men. Elders even if well meaning are usually dipshits but in the end it doesn't matter because they all answer to a higher evil power.

Are Magicians Spawns of Satan the Devil?

by Cold Steel in

i was perusing the internet not long ago and came upon this series of videos by a guy calling himself xendrius.

it declares that many of today's best magicians are in league with the devil.

his claims are based on his observation that the tricks would be impossible to do unless the magicians had made unholy pacts with the devil.. so what's the take of the wtbts?

I say this in a joking way but also dead serious but the closest I have been to experiencing the super natural has been in the kingdom hall.

Some of the things said are so utterly stupid and idolatrous it is like literally Satan himself is present.

If you believe in that type of thing.

The mistranslation of John 8.58

by Wonderment in

john 8.58 is one of those scriptures which translators often mis-translate.. i am aware this text is defended with passion either way by its advocates.

many insist the "i am" rendering found in many versions is correct.

others defend the "i have been" or "i was" readings of other versions.

Remember When Something Bad Would Happen And You Felt Its Really What They Deserved?

i was thinking about christmas and how celebrants may lose their home and all their possessions because a christmas candle burned down the house.. witnesses smugly would say, "well, they shouldn't have been celebrating the holidays!

".....yet if a jw got into a fatal car accident while going to a convention, it was clearly satan's doing..

I think my wives hall should be the last people to gloat in the misfortune of others. I swear eight people have died prematurely in the last five years. It's like the cong is cursed.

There is an elder who called my wife a stain in his marking talk about marrying me is dying of terminal cancer. I would love to tell him god hates him but I figure that would be bad karma.

There was a time in my life when I would study this kind of stuff to the early hours of the morning. Mostly about how the bible was wrong, or mistranslated, or the most accurate bible translation etc etc. There is no end to it and it will literally fry your brain if you let if.

An author I found interesting was Daniel B Wallace and he focuses more on 98% of the bible was is the same instead of the 2% that is different. Once you start to think of the bible in terms of context and probability from a mathematical point of view, mainstream Christian beliefs are pretty much what the bible teaches.

JWs are really trying to disprove the bible. Pay them no mind. Same with this wonderment poster. He is a bible burnout who has fried his brain.

I think if you read the entire story in John about Jesus nearly being stoned to death by the Pharisees and the previous I AM statements, Jesus is referring to himself as being the I AM in the old testament. It is pretty clear.

Actually if you read the entire book of John it is an testimony of Jesus being " The Angel of the Lord ". The figure that was identified was being god and being with god.

It is best to understand the undelaying themes ( deity of Christ ) of the book of John before pretending you are some expert in biblical Greek and Hebrew. Don't fall for the JW trick of bait and switch , isolate a piece of text and then quote out of context.
