  Do You Think That Belonging To Certain Political Parties Suggests You Are Uneducated or Poor?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i hear some people say that if you are a republican or democrat that you must not be very educated, intelligent or monetarily stable.

  .

  do you think it’s proper to paint any person as less than favorable because of their political opinions?

  I've never seen it as polarized as it is today. There are some real "haters" on both sides of the debate.

  And I am sure that it would logically follow that there are "good people on both sides"?

  I would highly recommend the Holocaust Museum. It will take some time, and if it is like it was when I was there it may not be suitable for pre-teens. Some of the displays were pretty graphic. I saw grown men visibly shaken, and some like my father who pre-JW had been in some pretty bloody combat situations began to cry.

  Anyone who wants to so freely throw the term Nazi around for political opponents today should see what Nazis really were, IMO.

  January 2020 Watchtower - Dogma being force-fed yet again as "truth"!

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if the wording & context of a scripture is dismissed at the outset, then every statement and assumption which follows is implicititly false.

  in the very first study article, the gibbering body continues to indoctrinate the sheeple to accept that over 500 people met jesus on the mountain - despite the blatant fact that 1 corinthians 15:6 says absolutely nothing about the 500 people being anywhere near galilee!

  (matthew 28:16-20) however, the 11 disciples went to galʹi·lee to the mountain where jesus had arranged for them (the 11 disciples) to meet.

  Another perhaps small point I would ask them is IF the reference to elders in Jerusalem being the first century governing body as the basis for the eight JW governing body today, why did the entire congregation in Jerusalem have authority to make a decision and who exactly does THAT apply to today?

  (Acts 15:22) . . .Then the apostles and the elders, together with the whole congregation, decided to send chosen men from among them to Antioch, along with Paul and Barʹna·bas; they sent Judas who was called Barʹsab·bas and Silas, who were leading men among the brothers. . .

  I would never call someone a bitch...I would just say that when their kids come home for a visit the mother runs out from under the porch and bites them in the ankle.

  #Persecution selfies: what do you think?

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  so apparently the new watchtower russia exhibition features a pretend cell for jws to take pretend "persecution selfies' and wallow in the glorious suffering that is essential for watchtower theology to work - yet is strikingly missing from the lives of 99% of witnesses.. in fact most governments go to great lengths to protect the rights of witnesses, spending millions in public funds either directly to watchtower - in the form of grants ( norway, germany etc) - in various types of tax relief, or in the money spent in court cases establishing watchtowers rights and freedoms (& protecting their kids, whether they know it or not).. i'm interested to know how everyone feels about this...particularly terry walstrom and other guys who have spent time in jail in the name of watchtower's freedom of conscience.

  personally i think it reeks of desperation by watchtower and is another example of the type of fantasizing that witnesses regularly indulge in.. also....funny how the end is soooo close that they've had time to build a museum of watchtower history!!

  anyone else see the irony in that?!

  The Dubs need to quit the phony persecution play acting and hire REAL guards, with REAL machine guns, to use REAL clubs to beat the living hell out of them if they REALLY want to immerse themselves in this twisted persecution "experience".

  Well, there's no Watchtower article saying that I can't take these razor blades to the inmates...

  Well how are they going to get those captive studies to shave their beards off so they can be "good" Dubs?

  November 2019 Watchtower (Would love to hear the comments in the hall)

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from the november 2019 watchtower study edition.. how many of you would like to know what the brothers and sisters would respond to this question.

  also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.. 8. how should we respond to lies?.

  8 satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about jehovah and about our brothers and sisters.

  Also, if you went into a hall how would you like to respond to the question.

  Well we all KNOW that only Jehovahs Witlesses speak the truth. So it would follow that anything that a non-Jehovahs Witless says would HAVE to be a lie. So we must NEVER listen to what anyone other than baptized, preferably appointed elders, have to say as everything else said is A LIE and we must cover our ears against them!
  

  I wonder if they would get the sarcasm? Probably not. Of course I seldom show up anymore, and on the very few occasions I do I no longer get called on to comment. No great loss.

  I was just trying to inject some humor. Sorry if I offended anyone. I got a laugh out of it though, and I thank you for changing what was otherwise a pretty crummy day.

  They probably just want to continue to create more digital content to feed to the flock.

  Oh hell yeah. Just like their monthly...broadcast, and the "special" talk in the spring. Show up at the hall for appearance sake, and then sit through another boring, hair-brained, talk given by a half-wit Dubya.
