i was in a car accident in a fatality.
without going into detail i wasnt found in the wrong.
alcohol and poor judgement were involved with the other party.
It is not about me. I couldn't care less what they think. If she were to ever leave I think I would beat up the C.O and afew elders. I think there is a better chance of me joining ISIS than becoming one of jehovah witnesses.
She finally got unmarked and got her phony friends back.
I am just more worried about her.

I remember one time listen to a talk from an elder about the importance of keeping our cars in good shape. If we lapse in getting that brake job or snow tires we could be found bloodguilt by jehovah an never see paradise earth.
Thus the reason I ask.

So
I was in a car accident in a fatality. Without going into detail I wasn’t found in the wrong. Alcohol and poor judgement were involved with the other party. It could also be a possible suicide, only Allah knows.
What kind of grief should I expect from the elders and various other busybodies in the congregation about this with their bloodguilt and stuff.
Alittle about me. UBM. Everyone is fully aware that I only go once a month to keep the peace with the wife.
i see no logic in it.
i see what appears to be some scriptural contradictions but i see no merit in a trinitarian view of god.. .
.
If you look at the plurality of god in the old testament, the new testament quotes using the tetragrammaton and the writings of Paul and who he thought Jesus was, I believe the writers believe Jesus co-existed with his father as Jehovah, Yahweh, LORD all caps in the old testament.
Does anyone fully understand it ?? Not really but who do you think the authors of the new testament believed Jesus was, God in the flesh or Michael the arc angel ?
Then if you think the bible is complete bullshit, so be it but the when the basis of your religion is the bible is wrong ( the name of god removed ) and it has been repaired by men we don’t know they are with copies of the bible we don’t know if they exist.
No knows. You have to be careful when being raised a JW. You tend to read the bible like you just got a speeding ticket and you are looking for a technicality to get off. JW generally seem to be so busy looking at the fine print they usually miss the big picture when studying the bible.
i haven't been here much within the last week.
is there anything new in watchtower world?.
.
Oh man
Nothing pisses off a JW more than the idea that the modern day state of Israel is the fulfillment of bible prophecy. They are starting to preach the same batshit crazy stuff that the American evangelical 700 club Ned Flanders types are preaching, just replacing Israel with themselves.
The hatred of all things Christian is what is really driving JWs to the holy land. Same reason the muslims are always pissed off too.
hahahaha!!!
i predicted this 4 years ago!.

JW_We are not a cult, cults have blind loyality to a small number of humans leaders or human leader . Our leadership is the annoited remant of the heavenly hopers, the 8500 or so remaining on earth.
Normal person- But I know afew heavenly hopers, they don't set WTS policy. Isn't is all coming from afew men in New York.
JW- the governing body speaks for the remant.
Normal person- So you are basically a cult because cults have blind loyality to a small number of humans leaders or human leader.
JW-No
Normal person- How so
JW-You have been reading apostate literature.
Normal person- You are not answering my question.
JW- Jehovah save me
an odd letter was read at last nights' meeting.
it was in regards to a special campaign for next year arranged by the governing body to go and preach in israel.
the call is going out to anybody that speaks hebrew and english.
The WTS to me is borderline anti-sematic and just the idea there are actually JWs in Israel just blows me away.
Let’s all travel to Israel to tell the Jewish people that the term Israel no longer means the Jewish people but seven magical men in Brooklyn New York. There is no special pan for you outside of mindless obedience to the Borg.
I asked an Elder where in the bible the term Israel now means governing body and of course he showed me Galatians 6:16 ( the Israel of God ). I explained the book of Galatians to him and how I believe Paul was just warning an early Gentile church about the Judaizers and the Israel of god was most likely a reference to early Jewish Christians who believed in the law of Christ, not the law of moses.
He never talked to me again. It is quite scary how little the average JW knows about the bible. Like the means of the individual books of the books and the greater themes and how they are all related to each other. It is just mindless propaganda.
i believe the last two wt studies in the 7/14 wt study articles were planned for this exact time and did not come about by happenstance... the jw cult is preparing the rank and file for some faith altering "new light" to be announced fairly soon, and these scare tactics will do just the trick.... the articles are preparing the rank and file to become apostataphobic, they have the rank and file in such a frenzy, even have them questioning themselves and their own motives for being in the borg!.
with paragraphs like:.
if you hear someone that has doubts or questions about the borg avoid them like the plague, and tell your local elders, but don't judge them!!!.
I think the society realizes now that any real sincere student of the bible would when carefully studying the bible would pretty much have to reject the majority of what they teach.
For decades they tried to bambozeal everyone pretending like they bible experts with their 2 plus 2 = 7 and up really means down etc etc. I think the internet has really shown people how to cut though the bullshit and see it for the idol worship it is.
Plan B- Just take your ball and go home.
i used to be very impressed with convention experiences regarding how worldly employers would hire jws because they were known as the most honest workers.
i was too indoctrinated to realise these were selective experiences, and there are plenty of experiences of jws being dishonest in the workforce.
i have received a couple recently by email.. i have cut quite a bit out of the following email i received so that the person and company cannot be indentified, but you will get the message.. .
On a somewhat related subject, what was the general consensus in your cong about handing out tracts in the workplace.
I knew a guy that what do it over and over till he would be fired. Of course his elder father just thought he was a real martyr. The truth was he was just a lazy loser who will live at home forever. He is nearly 40 now and never moved away, never kept a job for more than three months.

(thanks breakfast of champions).
The ironic part is this actually fits in with Christian theology with the whole thing about all the non-Christians being left behind and being killed and such. I actually pointed that out to an elder one time. He wasn’t impressed.
So what exactly does the watchtower teach? I thought the JWs were suppose to have some kind of super natural protection in the great tribulation? Is the purpose of being a big group so you can combine your hours with the pioneers or something when Jehovah is throwing the fireballs.
