The Confederate Flag

by Simon in

the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.

he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.

not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.

I just went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd ( yes there are two original members ) and was looking for a T-shirt and I see the shirts had the confederate flag removed from them. I was like “ man the PC crowd got to Skynyrd. “ No way

Maybe its the fact I love Southern rock and roll or the fact I am only four generations removed from the deep south but I am more a its heritage not hate kind of guy. Imagine if you just allowed to say things about visible minorities that you are allowed to say about Southern folks. It kind of pisses me off.

Christians not knowing the Bible

by Viviane in

last night a young man in a bar struck up a conversation with me.

our town is having our pride parade soon and he brought it up, the bible and how it's against the bible.

me being me, i said that i couldn't care less that it was against the bible and that it was a horrible guide for morality anyway.

Let’s just for fun review what Viviane said.

Christians don’t know the bible ( we know there is a group of people out there who really know the bible ).
She claims we are still under the law of moses ( I think ) according to the bible. The law of Christ didn’t replace the old convanent. I wonder if there is a certain group we can benefit though there association by this so called new covenant.

Again I must state I am not exactly sure what her theological stance of what the old covenant and new covenant are . It’s almost like she is trying bambozal us with all kinds of fancy jibbler jabber. Wonder who else tries that trick.

Repressed much ?? You can take the dub out of the hall but it is harder to take the hall out dub

You quoted the bible out of context and mock anyone who disagrees with you.

I am thinking Viviane is an undercover elder.

You guys should all get together and write a book . Maybe call it, hum, " What does the bible really teach "

You could inform all the people in false religion of the errors of their ways.

One trick ponies.

Jesus said he never came to abolish the law but came to fulfill it. Membership in the new covenant is a spiritual and personal thing. This is a concept that is alien to both the JW and ex-JW.

Reading the bible looking for technicalities to try and disprove it is the same mentality of reading the bible and finding reasons to let your children die from not giving them blood transfusions.

You people really need to learn how to chill out. You are not JWs anymore, not need to crack any more codes.

My experience of christians and religion

by Doltologist in

one or two of you have noticed that i use derogatory terms when talking about matters religion.

i offer no apology.

you do, however, deserve an explanation.. my father, bless him and now dead, was a survivor of belsen, the german concentration camp.

I enjoy going to church now. Evangelical Christians are harmless. I wear my gym clothes to church because I work out right after and no one cares. I get a positive message each week, get to chat with some nice people, learn some stuff about the bible.

What I can’t stand is all these Nietzsche Inspired, Richard Dawkins reading, smug and self-righteous assholes who spend all their worrying about what I believe. I believe all the animals in the world got on a big boat, so what. Eat shit.

I love it just how it makes some people so angry. Maybe I am a closet JW.

Why do you still give talks?

by 1tMakesNoSence in

assuming you are still sitting there because of circumstances.

why do you still give/don't give talks?i ask this because i have to give talk no.

3: love and obedience bring happinessnwt p. 26 4-6 (5 min.

Just bring a bible up to the platform and randomly quote verses and make stuff up total improv style. All public talks are complete shit anyway. You could be a one man’s whose line is it anyway. The average JW won’t even know the difference.

I had breakfast with 50+ JWs on Sunday

we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.

i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!

i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?

I love ask them completely dumbfounded and quietly ask "Do you know what the understand of the faithful slave is this week ? " and I do it totally serious. Just like I am cheating on an exam.

You should see some of the looks I get.
