  I have always thought it was odd that both are a religion works but you get a free trip to paradise if you kill your self. Plus all ex members are bad bad people.

  Coronavirus: Punishment from Jehovah and a sign from Jesus!

  by lastmanstanding in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower has taught for over a century that plague is part of jesus’ sign letting earth know he’s lurkin’.... combined with the recent acceleration by the chinese gubmint of ejecting jws from china, it’s no surprise that dubs are of the belief that ‘jehovah is punishing china’.. dubs must be expecting a few large earthquakes to strike china in the next weeks with possibly a war or two, to round out the pain of jesus’ sign to these wicked jehovah haters..

  I had a debate with a JW about how awful the world was being and I told him every single measureable of the human condition had improved since the end of ww2 and especially since the year 2000.

  Life expectancy

  infant morality

  calorie intake food production

  people living under democracy

  people killed in armed conflict

  ability to read and write

  Everything

  He didn’t believe me.

  I would love to show him the studies.

  The reality with this disease is it will actually save hundreds of thousands of lives if not millions because it raises awareness of basic hygiene and cooking practices when dealing with the flu and common cold.

  That will never make any watchtower.

  Not to sound like a racist dick but I wonder how many were in Africa.

  Every religion can claim amazing growth by just looking at African stats.

  Middle class elders and pioneering children

  by Steel in

  i was looking at my hall the other day some of the upper elders who are retired now have had some pretty good jobs and lives of relative comfort.

  i am not exactly sure what the education levels were but they were white collar.

  most likely started in a world where you didn’t need a lot of education to get a head.

  I am not here to argue the merits of a college education. I am sure lots of people do fine without one. I make about 60000 annual with a one year certificate.

  I just hate the fact “ hey could you do some crappy joe job your whole life . It makes me look good in my special club.”

  To be honest, most JWs aren’t smart enough that this makes any real difference anyway.

  I am working under the assumption that you can lose or have your eldership questioned if your children go to University ?

  Or is that just apostate lies.....lol

  Some of them have pioneering children in there 20s and 30s living in absolute poverty. Janitorial work all night to hand out rags all day.

  My question is do you think these people are so diabolical they would encourage their children to live like this to kept there status in there special club or are these living like this out of there own free will? I can understand a janitor pioneer in poverty raising another success like themselves but if you had a brain in your head , you think you would what better for your children.

  Man if there is anything more annoying than the WTS it has to be the alphabet club. To me it’s kind of like al-quada vs isis.

  The sad part is between the WTS and team alphabet , real Christian charities that do real good works are going to lose there tax free status. I get back like 75 percent what I give my church.

  Let’s say your a contractor or small business owner in a small community. Why do you do good work or charge fair prices ? It’s cause your name is at stake. Your name represents what you are.

  Jesus is called the image of god. The exact representation of the father.

  Jesus saying I have made your name known or thank you for the name you have given me has more to do with this kind of thing than providing the missing vowels of the Tetragrammaton.

  I have run into plenty of JWs who think the most important thing Jesus did was give us the missing vowels of the Tetragrammaton which were then removed by false religion.

  I kid you not , the entire religion is a big game of wheel of fortune.
