  How do you find reddit

  by joe134cd in

  1. jw

  just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.

  for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.

  i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.

  @hothabanero: "John Sedars, who is a complete moron."

  Just learn to separate the messenger from the message and also learn to look at the big picture. Don't obsess with alleged personality traits of Lloyd.

  In the big scheme of things he has, and continues to do more good than bad in our fight against the cult...and that's more than we can say about most exJW's

  "The liberals will destroy your livelihood for mentioning inconvenient scientific facts"

  This is all backwards. Now conservatives are supposedly pro-science and liberalism is tantamount to narrow-mindedness and tyranny. Cults to the right, cults to the left, always claiming "I know better"

  Don't be too bitter about your aunt. She is a victim, possibly forever trapped in a cult. Feel sorry for her instead.

  White supremacy is an ideology of peace

  by OneEyedJoe in

  1. social
  2. current

  i'm tired of hearing these constant attacks on white supremacists after the events in charlottesville.

  why are moderate white supremacists being lumped in together and sharing the blame for the actions of one reprehensible man that misinterpreted the ideals of white supremacy and became violent?

  clearly the motivation of such attacks on white supremacists is nothing other than racism.

  " it's satire."

  The problem with comments of more than two paragraphs is that... well... they are too long. I missed that part (it's satire) and many likely did, and many likely will. We should avoid trying to write essays in a time when there's so many distractions and our attention span is short.

  "That doesn't tell us anything about your average white supremacist at all! Most white supremacists are peaceful, kind people that just want to live their life and not be discriminated against"

  That logic can be applied to any large group.

  White supremacy lost popularity a long time ago, so if anyone wants to embrace it has to be willing to take all the baggage that comes attached.

  Of course the media will focus its attention on white supremacists a lot more than on liberals who want to see your dog and your neighbor as equal. I like that approach because peaceful white supremacists can easily convert into followers of Hitler-like leaders, and that Joe we need to prevent.

  Juarez MX Assembly Kingdom Hall to be sold.

  by ironsnake656 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are several confirmed announcements in some congregations around the city regarding the sale of the assembly kingdom hall.

  one of the reasons why it will be sold is that expenses are not covered by donations.

  the hall was dedicated in 2009. actually, in some congregations the elders have not given the announcement for the publisher's reaction... .

  with Jehovah? are you sure?.

  Billions claim they have a relationship with God, but none can prove it. Is it in their minds and their religious leaders just feed that belief? After all, all religious organizations have an interest in your relationship with God. God gets your prayers and devotion, and religious leaders get your money and free proselytizing labor.

  Be careful!

  Dedicate your life to humans. They are very, very real and needy. They need your dedication more than an all powerful invisible, silent God who has allowed thousand of conflicting religions to thrive without saying Jack.

  New Research at AJWRB

  by Lee Elder in

  the latest research article published at ajwrb estimates the number of jehovah's witnesses who have died from following or being coerced to follow watchtower's blood policy.

  the numbers are staggering.

  "The act of taking blood is considered like you disassociated yourself. Same way they treat someone who joins the armed services."

  That's not what the elder's book say: If you allow me to paraphrase, it suggests that if a person gets a blood transfusion but shows repentance then she/he is not disfellowshipped. It adds that the patient may have been subject to pressure.

  Maybe persisting on worldly pursuits will serve good purposes: 1) do what you like and 2) lower the expectations of your aunt regarding your spirituality. Remember that one day she will insist to get baptized. Start disappointing her, so she gets used to low expectations. Just remain a good kid in every other way. In fact, be better than the "spiritual" kids.
