  the insanity of Sam herds talks at the convention

  by purrpurr in

  i've picked up two that stood out to me but i'm sure others will have noticed more:.

  he gave an illustration about fearing god and he said it is like a wife who has spent all day preparing the evening meal for her husband and she hears him come home and perhaps she is trembling a bit out of fear that he might not like the meal she has cooked for him....!!!!!!!!????.

  the other was about verbal abuse and how it should not be used but rather than site the effect it has or the forms it can take he said that we shouldn't call each other " dumb dumb" or "knuckle head" .

  looks like Brother Herd may have beat up his wife a few times for over-cooking his steak.

  A QUESTION I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANSWERED BY JWs

  by NAVYTOWN in

  the jws make such a big deal about not taking (eating) blood in any form.

  that being the case, shouldn't they avoid eating steaks?

  even a well- done steak still contains the animals blood.

  Here's the convoluted response I've heard...

  "Jehovah knows how to read our hearts. If he sees that someone knowingly violates Bible principles regarding blood, that person will not survive Armageddon. On the other hand, if a JW consumes food without knowing that said food might have some blood, Jehovah will forgive that JW. "

  So... It's OK to eat steak. Just pretend you don't know that it may contain some blood.

  Reminds me of the spin they put on 1914... The year that Armageddon was supposed to happen... Most Bible Students were disappointed, pissed or disillusioned... But the Watchtower Corporation now says that, while "some" were looking for a heavenly reward, most Bible Students were happy that the "Gentile Times " had ended... And they can do this (blatantly lie about their history) because Pro 3:18 allows them to...

  Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).

  by BucketShopBill in

  please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.

  i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.

  i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

  Quality (or should I say Meaty) "presentations" practically disappeared in the late 90's. I remember when dubs were expected to read and explain at least 2 Bible verses, then allow the householder to express his/her thoughts on the matter before even pulling out any mags or literature. Afterwards, you had to provide a summary of the latest mags and offer these along with other tracts or books. Now it's a game of "hit-and-run" using anorexic mags and tracts. This cult is limping it's way to a slow and painful death...

  You can't play lotto, but you can accept a lottery ticket.

  by JH in

  .

  can someone explain to me why a witness can't go and buy a lottery ticket for himself, but can keep a ticket they find on the ground or keep a ticket they receive as a gift from a worldly person.. that's the explaination the witnesses gave me when i joined many years ago.. if it's a sin to play lotto, why can they accept a ticket as a gift or keep one they could find?.

  By Watchtower standards, that's the same as prohibiting the purchase of a cross but allowing dubs to accept these as gifts.
