  When Will Jehovah`s Witnesses Appoint A Woman As A Governing Body Member.? It`s Long Overdue !

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah himself gives the saying "the women telling the good news are a large army" psalms 68 : 11 coupled with the fact that a good portion of women partake of the emblems and wine at the annual memorial celebration.. identifying themselves as part of the 144000 that are taken from the earth to rule with christ jesus in the heavens.. isn`t it about time they were recognized for their contributions and given the fact that gods word the bible clearly states that 144,000 of anointed are to be taken from the earth which many women are a large part of.?.

  revelation ch.14 :4 could be argued that they are not lesbians { "these are the ones who do not defile themselves with women ,in fact they are virgins, etc,etc.}.

  i wonder just how many men who claim to be of the anointed have not defiled themselves with women and are virgins.?.

  @scratchme"The same applies to a number of people who have equally devoted their lives for decades and have gone nowhere in that organization. Why do you single out women? What is so special about them over other people?"

  For beginners is 50% of the population

  and 66% of the membership of JW's

  and they are 100% excluded from any position of teaching according to Bible interpretation
  

  and they are a lot more observant of Christian values than men (yeah, those aggressive, conceited, cruel, competitive, horny bastards).

  Is that enough???

  We will see a male Chihuahua appointed as a member of the Governing Body before a smart, spiritual woman is appointed. And her chances are below male rats if she exercises in tight pants.

  The Boyfriend Pillow! - The Governing Body's worst nightmare!!??

  with all the focus on the new anti-masturbation vide telling all bethelites not to sleep inappropriately with a pillow, surely this has to be the very item that will send the gb into fits of despair?

  Bethel,

  I didn't know they had been in the movie business in the 60's. It's a long tradition going back to brother C.T. Russell.

  Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution

  by dubstepped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.

  i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

  i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

  Old Navy,

  You and people like you are the very reason I turned from being indifferent to Christianity to being hateful of it. The combination of ignorance and arrogance are usually not seen together in the fields of science, but in fundamentalist Christianity is the rule with no exceptions.

  Gordon Nehemia - Finding God's holy name with full vowels

  by Da.Furious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just sent a link to a jewish scholar that apparently he has found 1,000 manuscripts with yehovah and latest discovery is one with vowels that supports the spelling yehovah.

  so this pits the myth that jews have forgotten the name into rest.. i got excited jws about the finding in support of the nwt showing the name as it should be.. just wanted to share this with you guys.. link to the blog and podcat: https://www.nehemiaswall.com/1000-manuscripts-yehovah#more-13611.

  also link to michael rood (blog:https://www.michaelrood.tv/) interview who is his friend:.

  " I am who I am", that's God's name. Moses turned it into the third person "He is who he is" and therefore the initials YHWH. The writers of Genesis and Exodus liked having fun with names, puns and word games. God was just fooling around with Moses.

  This is the theory that I like best. It fits the style of the J writer.

  Welcome IamjustMe!!!
  

  I haven't been to a kingdom hall in years, but I hear that there are babies, toddlers, children and teenagers. But ten years from now those teenagers will be gone, 15 year from now the children will be gone, 20 years from now babies and toddlers will be gone.

  How do I know this? I see it with my own eyes. Most young ones that I met in the last 25 years are GONE for good. Unfortunately, my own nephews and nieces remain in the "truth" (they are in their 20's and early 30's). I guess my brothers give the strongest KoolAid.

  Excellent!

  Short, to the point, and mainly very clear on how little you care about their shunning, guilt tripping and hounding.

  Brief disassociation letter is the way to go. I understand the motives of the faders, but I admire the ones with the guts to give the middle finger to the Watchtower and walk out proud, strong and renewed.

  @Bobby"The only way to drain them is for a government to literally steal their money"

  That would be nice. The Watchtower stole it first from congregants, as a result the congregants are now too poor to afford their own bills so they resort to "stealing" from government social programs. The money goes full circle, doesn't it?

  The only losers here are the rest of us, taxpayers, who have to work hard to support so many parasitic organizations like the Watchtower
