  Jesus Christ—The Greatest Scientist (and Psychologist) who ever lived on earth!

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if we eliminate all the controversial and confusing verses attributed to jesus we will get the crystal clear truth from him because his source was (1) god which can be seen from his habit of early morning talking to god in prayer (mark 1:35; john 8:1, 2) which would not have been for material blessings (mathew 6:8; 16:24), and (2) also observance of people.. 1) jesus who said judgment is based on whether we acted humanely or not (mathew 25:31-46) would not have spoken about god’s people and pagans (which means bulk of the things found in gospel had not been spoken/done by jesus).. 2) another important truth he said was about the real key to our happiness which he said is with each one of us.

  (luke 17:21).

  from his observance of history, he knew there are people from adversities who made great contribution to the world; and there are people from all abundance who lived a life of wastage accomplishing nothing; and there are people who are mixed in varying degree.

  “crystal clear truth”....”source was God...” 🤣🤣🤣

  Which God? And what empirical evidence do you have that shows that God exists?

  with all the changes in the borg, does anyone know where all the ones that have been moved out of brooklyn go to the meetings?.

  in the past, they were assigned to a number of congregations in new york city.

  having now moved into more rural areas where there is no public transportation as there is in new york, where do they all go?.

  president trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.

  however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".

  now that has changed.

  Why is it OK for the EU to impose tariffs, but not OK for the US?

  If your country wants free trade, I say, you first. Why does America have to go first?

  dow jones losing 1175 points today, equivalent to 4.60 % ..... same more or less around the world's stock exchanges.

  it's like president bush said "wall street got drunk and now it's got a hangover".

  i think people went irrational over investing, a correction is needed..

  There was actually a much less nuanced explanation. There were auto-trade sell triggers set for when the market reached a certain threshold (I.e 26,000).

  I see. You can't construct a proper sentence, but I'm a "dummy."

  Funny. No wonder you’re an apostate.

  Bobby: here’s how it’s control.

  For years and years and years, since you were old enough to understand what was being said at the meeting, you are told that homosexual desires are wrong and disgusting to Jehovah.

  You go through puberty, and come to find out, you’re attracted to those of the same sex. Because it’s been pounded into your psyche, you feel overwhelming guilt and depression over these desires. You haven’t even acted upon them, but you still feel that way because you’ve been told that homosexuals will not inherit a fictitious kingdom (that you only believe in by accident of birth.)

  You get so depressed over this that the inevitable happens when the brain becomes overwhelmed by negative emotions: your sanity starts to slip. You might start remembering the scripture that says, “The wages sin pays is death...” and that the resurrection will be of the “righteous and The unrighteous...” Then, in your state of mental illness brought on by the ingrained indoctrination you’ve been subjected to, you decide that though suicide is a sin, it’s okay because when you die, you’ve paid for your sins and Jehovah’s going to resurrect the unrighteous too.

  You then decide to take your own life.

  Do you see how these Pharisees’ rules in New York can have control over someone?

  If you think this scenario is far fetched, think again. It’s very close to something similar I went through at one point in my life...even to the point of putting a gun in my mouth. I’m very fortunate that I was able to stop myself and try to just make it to the end of the day.

  JWs don’t break up families

  by Jules Saturn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i get very angry when i hear this claim being made by jws and get even angrier when i read the article they have on their faq section on jw.org which i’ll leave a link here:.

  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/families/.

  i know that the majority of this article is written about having a spouse that isn’t a believer and how the bible encourages them to stay together but that’s one of the things that can cause division in a family, for an example if a son or daughter marry a nonbeliever or a worldly person the parents aren’t going to attend the wedding.. once i was told by an elder that if i continued with my behavior of wanting to seek worldly friends and worldly companionship that i would have to leave my home because the holy spirit would leave my house and that would have a huge impact on my family.
