  Idiotic Thread On A Cult Site

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so as is my habit when i need a good laugh at stupid chat forum threads i popped in to the jay double u talk site and happened on this hilarious thread.

  of course i have not read the whole thing, it was just too mentally painful to read those nitwits "reasoning"about "music".. why jehovah's witnesses do not use drums.... .

  Here are a couple of the answers:

  Did you let the person know - it is because it is a "hall" where we discuss the Kingdom - hence "Kingdom Hall" and NOT a "Dance Hall" or a "Music Hall"??

  The purpose of our music is to worship Jehovah in song and the musical accompaniment is solely to help in that purpose.

  Music should be done tastefully and not detracting from the style the brothers have chosen (avoiding the gospel style or the traditional catholic choir sound)

  Had to stop reading after some of these comments, however I noted three pages of back and forth about drums.

  it just took me by surprise.

  i remember him from a decade or so ago.

  he came up with gems like, “weddings are for women, they are not necessary.” also, “if you want to be truly happy, marry an ugly woman.”.

  Some JWs never wanted to work and are lifelong deadbeats.

  I would say many.

  Don't get me wrong, over the years there definitely were a few "gems" of human beings that were COs. They REALLY did care, and were decent people, but unfortunately, they were not the norm.

  I have known a number of them. Without exception the ones I knew were used, abused, chewed up, spit out, thrown to the curb, and many are now just barely active Witlesses.

  Oh Boy! Beards are "stumbling blocks" again ... from Stephen Lett

  by freddo in

  so this week's midweek meeting video about stumbling others has lett spouting and gurning rubbish again.. if you can't take the whole 9 minutes go from 5:50 to get the context and 6:45 for the "beard" mention.. https://youtu.be/ezv1ici5cwo.

  oh, well - at least they shoot themselves in the foot with this doublespeak.

  single.

  On the other hand, Psalm 119:165 says "Abundant peace belongs to those loving your law, and for them there is no stumbling block".

  That is why I refer anyone who claims to be "stumbled" to this Bible verse. Then I ask them why they do not love God's law?

  Except that means "the weak ones" end up determining the rules and policies of the community.

  I now use the term "stumble club". It is a useful tool for the timid, the weak, the stupid, the power hungry to beat their fellow slaves with. The wicked fools!

  The laziness of JW parents....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it struck me that the society has created a culture of lazy jw parenting.. rather than parents being there to guide and direct and help their children through all stages of life, the gb / society has become the "go-too" for everything.. if the child has an issue, there is a wt article for that.. does the child need help with something else?

  ah, there is a caleb and sophia cartoon for that.. what about that other topic?

  ah, there is a book for that.. so rather than being present parents, the average jw parent simply outsources their parenting to the organization!

  I know so many that fell into this trap. As full grown adults, they struggle to make ends meet, are heavily in debt, have no savings, no health care insurance, no retirement, and no meaningful employment that provides some satisfaction.

  Oh but wait...they do not care. After all as I have been repeatedly informed the Bible tells them that they will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will become abhorrent to them. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them. So it is there own fault that they are in that situation. I have ZERO sympathy for them. Besides we all know where to find "sympathy" in the dictionary...right between "shit" and "syphilis".

  Any advice?

  You Just Can't Make This S--t Up!

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know this is kind of trivial but i don’t want to partake in something that might have connections with something that jehovah disapproves of.

  i checked the watchtower library and i didn’t find anything on gingerbread man cookies.. .

  good lord...how incredibly stupid and helpless are jdubs getting?

  So I checked in on the cult members chat forum and there is a new little nugget of discussion that is just about as goofy as the cupcake thread.

  Some pin-head had to ask if it was "okay" to say dammit?

  Several pages of comments on that. Geez these people are helpless. I swear they would all curl up and die if someone didn't tell them when to breath in and when to exhale!

  If what was written in the 1932 Yearbook was an accurate presentation of God giving "his" people a new name, and if as it is written it was given to ANOINTED ones, then WTH are the rank and file called Jehovah's Witnesses if THEY are not anointed?

  Either they screwed up then (not hard to believe) or they screwed up now. (Also not hard to believe)

  The Anal Retentive Biblical Jehovah

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  freud came up with the idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/anal_retentiveness.

  i would like to sight some examples of a anal retentiveness of the biblical deity.. the garden of eden and the death penalty for eating a fruit, which by the way was passed on to all future offspring requiring an anal retentive jehovah to provide a suitable sacrifice of his only begotten son to correct the situation and thus make it possible for forgiveness from the big guy and remove the death curse.. working on a saturday= death penalty.

  mandatory blue thread and fringes on all israelite garments.. death penalty for touching the ark of the covenant to prevent it from tipping over.. exclusive devotion only to be given to him, bowing to other gods/idols forbidden.. grows hot with anger and becomes violently enraged killing off all kinds of human and animal life with a flood when humans not living the way he feels is right.. threatening to tread on mankind like a mighty man crushing grapes under his feet when pissed off.. loss of self control when pissed off over insignificant trifles.

  I noticed that Tight Pants said, "I have always said..."

  I wonder where the Bible as the alleged words of God himself enters into his I have always said?

  Arrogant SOB!
