In case you want to see mass quantities of ignorance / stupidity on display....a dinosaur thread on JWTalk

by sir82 in

https://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/34840-what-does-the-bible-say-about-dinosaurs/.

amazing how many words can be expended discussing things that people have utterly no clue about..

CitizenofEarth

This is just sad. Cant even get myself to laugh at it. I was 17 when i sat down and used my biology book and the internet to debunk the validity of Noah and his ark, including the idea of a global flood. Too late in my opinion, but better late than never. I suppose this is what happens when you only use the Bible to do "research".

Apparently the giving of "judgement messages" is not a theoretical scenario

by GTSfromSY in

i remember when the (in)famous "bunker videos" were releases there was some non-witness exposure on a few sites and most of them commenting on how scary and very culty it sounded and all the idiotic wt apologist were quick to point out that it was "only theoretical", "it's possible it could happen like that" and other assorted flavors of steer manure.. well apparently not so because i just sat through the upcoming convention videos, and review footage of the last assembly, watch the last two months worth of "meetings" (*vomit*) and studied up on all the recent new wt releases and all the talk being throwing around now is all on some gog of magog this, judgement messages this, judgement messages that, "we're about to get persecuted!!!

; some of us are going to die; the nations are about to turn against us even in developed countries; blah blah blah.

even the recorded baptismal talk i heard from the last assembly had a speaker that was telling the suckers....er...i mean the baptismal candidates to be willing and expect possible death, and to a good number of young preteen people i may add (outrageous!!!).

Could someone point me to those class action lawsuits in Denmark please? I would like to read up on those. GTSfromSY mentioned them.

Falcon Heavy

by Coded Logic in

the falcon heavy is set to launch today.

if successful, it will become the most powerful rocket in use (twice as powerful as the delta heavy).. as it's the very first attempt, elon musk has said he thinks there's a 50/50 chance of it not blowing up.

so should be interesting.

CitizenofEarth

Looking forward too it.

Questions from readers: Pillow talk

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

i can't believe they came out with this.... question from readers: should a youth who struggles with masturbation sleep with a pillow?.

you young people know that it is wise to make such restrictions, especially during "the bloom of youth.

" (1 corinthians 7:36).

Where is this written? I need to see this.

End times "too late for you now" witnessing?

by CitizenofEarth in

hello there.. i've heard it several times from different people while i was growing up, as well seen some people talk about it here on the forum.

the subject is the jw belief that a time will come before the end where they will change the message that jesus talked about, to one of damnation, where the world will be told something along the lines of "it is too late now".

do any of you have references to jw litterature where they write this?

Hello there.

Do any of you have references to JW litterature where they write this? And what are your thoughts. I think it is abhorrent and extremely arrogant. Not that that is something to be surprised about from JW doctrines. I would, however, be surprised if the majority of JW followed this if the GB wanted them to suddenly, as it is so blatantly against the message Jesus tried to convey.

Pillowgate - John Cedars

by CitizenofEarth in

is this true?

is this really true?!.

CitizenofEarth

I doubt it is fake since both of them are GB helpers - Ralph Walls and Gary Breaux. Why would Cedars release a fake one, it would only hurt his credibility. Or am i missing something? I don't know - i guess well see the 27th. And how would they fake that, it is clearly not dubbed. Just my take on it.
