  Trust in Jehovah. He created the Universe. So vaporizing 7 billion corpses and all the buildings is child's play for him.

  Your mom is a projection of the heartless corporation that indoctrinated her, but nonetheless a victim, just like you.

  Prayers ,are they answered ? or is it just self delusion ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after 33 years as a jw and leaving 25 years ago i think prayer can be summed up with the jews praying at the wailing wall.. all they are doing is talking to a brick wall ,and getting no feed back.

  and they expect an answer to their prayers ?!.

  christians /other beliefs might find that funny but they are no better off.. prayer is always a one way street you talk either vocally or mentally to god however you never get the same back .. if god " so loved the world that he doesnt want any to be destroyed but have everlasting life " then whats the problem with him audibly answering his servants prayers ?

  Not just prayers are answered. Curses too are answered.

  You see, almost everyday for some years I had described God as an asshole or a son of bitch and told him to go to hell. Guess what happened?

  • Seven years ago I ended up in a hospital and came out with 80 centimeters of small intestine removed.
  • About a year ago I had a motorcycle accident.
  • Yesterday I had a bicycle accident.

  No broken bones or any handicap from any of these incidents, just bruises and scars. In fact I am quite healthy, physically, emotionally and financially. But don't get too comfy, all these are warnings from God....Oh what the hell, I will continue taunting the son of a bitch.

  " If Wt tries to pull off the same thing there as the do in the usa they may be dissopointed."

  Insurance or no insurance, they will be exploiting the response of well intended people to others in need. The Watchtower will ask for donations to help the brothers and sisters affected by the earthquake... and keep it. The help actually will come directly from the hard work and hard earned money of other brothers and sisters...and the donations, except for few dollars to disguise the scam, will disappear.

  JWs Among the Least Educated in the US

  by jp1692 in

  september 6th, 2017: a just released research survey shows once again that jehovah's witnesses are among the least educated people in the united states: .

  america’s changing religious identity.

  it is also interesting to note how jws rank in the categories of: income, insurance coverage and homeownership.

  • "it surprises me that 9% of JWs have completed a college degree"

  Yes, based on my experience, 9% is too high I think JW's confuse any post high school education with college degree. I know many of them get 6 month to two year technical degrees. There's many doctor/dentist assistants, diaper changing "nurses", computer technicians, etc. These careers pay often two dollars above minimum wage.

  The org tightens the noose on J.W.'s thinking.

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the manipulative use of language by the org in the upcoming circuit assembly talks is as good - or better - than any advertising conglomerate could devise.

  the mind-shaping wording is clearly used in order to deter critical thinking by the sheep.. face bad reports as jesus did (9 min.

  note to the speaker: explain why spiritually mature people do not become ashamed of the good news or dismayed when faced with negative propaganda.

  christopher columbus could be next on the monuments chopping block.. the 76-foot structure honoring the explorer at columbus circle should be among the statues reviewed by the city for potential purging, city council speaker melissa mark-viverito said on monday.. http://nypost.com/2017/08/21/columbus-circle-monument-could-be-next-statue-to-go/.

  if this goes on, these people are just validating what the orange one said, where will it stop?

  how will people 200 years from now look back on us?

  • " I hope we 'self correct' but I am not optimistic"

  The scarcity of resources and environmental changes are the driving forces of self correction, but it may not go in the direction you hope. The well established rules of evolution will make that determination.

  • "European cultural achievements deserve recognition and respect ... what they don't deserve is being trashed by 'activists'.

  Don't get too sensitive, the trashing has gone on back and forth for a very long time. Develop a thick skin and be willing to do some introspection. Controversies are easier to solve if we see ourselves as part of the human race and not just an individual with a certain skin color and costumes.

  By the way, I do believe that the ideas that came out of Europe were and still are superior to anything else in the world. That's obviously a bias opinion since I have lived in the West my whole life.

  "It was usually Europeans who did this"

  Good point. I don't have a quarrel with who won what. Western civilization has been influenced mainly by great thinkers who lived north of or around the Mediterranean sea. I don't know what my life would have been if history takes another route, but I am grateful for the ancient Greeks and Romans and those who came after and picked up where they left off. My opinion is not to demonize the winners. It's only my opinion about a man who dared cross the Atlantic at a time when nobody dared. He deserves more credit than Charles Lindbergh for doing the same thing, but not much more.

  • "Newsflash: everyone alive today, you included, is more than not likely descended from some victors of some conflict at some time or another, possibly more than one."

  That why I said "I don't give a f*&k about my ancestry" Whatever bad or good they did is not to my discredit or credit. Only what I do.
