  What is your definition of a Jehovah's Witness?

  What standards define a pooper of a party?

  Follow The Truth

  so it seems that donald is set to launch a social media platform called "truth social".

  if you start the sign up to go on the wait list you are asked to "follow the truth".

  uncomfortable.. maybe it directs you to wt.borg.

  Exactly - each one of us is equipped intellectually. You've got a brain use it.

  If you use it you stand a chance. But if you abdicate you reasoning to someone else, then you are dependent

  a) on them having your best interests at heart

  b) them getting it right.

  I reckon the odds are better if you use your brain.

  But you have identified your core 20%.

  I do not think their goal is money - it is how to influence, control and exploit people who are either incapable of seeing through their tactics or too scardy cat to say boo to a goose. Let alone boo to an elder.

  You know the sort that if you put them in a paper facemask they could not fight their way out. Sorry... I meant paper bag.

  It was an Irishman, a British MP named Burke who said that the French Revolution would lead to terrors because the glue in society is religion. Napoleon got religion. He understood the role it played in society.

  Look at the term 'Truth Social.' We were part of the Society, which professed to have the 'truth'. And what was their 'truth'? It was not Jesus Christ.

  The same with the concept PRAVDA which is Russian for Truth. Pravda was the name of the official newspaper of the Communist Party.

  Each of us has a choice - do we abdicate our powers of reason to someone else and allow them to process 'the data' draw the conclusions, put out a message and influence our decision making or do we work the data through our own minds and draw our own conclusions?

  Who do you trust? Someone who wants to flog you something and exploit your good nature and willingness or yourself?

  Adv, adv, adv - remember what it stood for.

  1914 Questions

  by sweetyj in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im not sure if this has already been asked here but i have some questions about 1914. if jesus arrived "invisibly" in the year 1914 why do the anointed partake of the emblems?

  why didn't they stop in 1914?.

  if jesus is ruling in heaven then why are the anointed still on earth?

  They don't say Jesus arrived they say he became present. Then they say presence has no beginning and no end (yes it does but that's how they spin it). They say he comes after his presence starts. Ie they skip the arrival bit, put the cart before the horse (presence before coming) and hope you are too dumb to notice the games they are playing with words.

  Would it be correct to equate Faith and belief in any God with superstitious belief ? I believe so.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  their are millions of peoples all around the world who believe in one god or another christian and non christian.. all of them pray to their gods for this, that, and the other.

  by far the majority never hear god answer them audibly ,however most assume he answers their prayers or not , by what transcribes next in their lives.. you pray for what is right according to god and he answers your prayers ,otherwise your prayers are not answered .. those few who who do claim to hear the voice of god audibly are usually found to have mental problems ,either physical or emotional.. if you do good you will be rewarded either now or in the hereafter , if you do bad you will feel the wrath of god and his judgments.

  i equate this with superstitious beliefs ,what do you think ?.

  Nice try.

  I wonder if, with their focus on audio visual, the GB will set up their own pay-to-comment video. If they are short of money it would be another income stream. Alternatively they can delegate the talk show to Bethelites who they are letting go, so the Bethelites can pay their rent and get some food.

  Pete

  Hassan was pursuing a poetry degree

  The thing about poetry is you can make things up. Fantasy - like the GB does - but claim they are special and in touch with God. Some say a poet should be king. I think their logic goes like this - real poetry is real science.

  From what I can see it all leads to Shamanism in opposition to Jesus Christ who is the Word of God.
