  Why did Jehovah Kill all the animals in the flood? What purpose did it serve??

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.

  "in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".

  i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.

  Fish and birds survived

  Most birds can't swim.

  With the earth literally 100% covered in water, the salinity of the water would be consistent worldwide. So did the freshwater fish die? Or the saltwater fish? Or both?

  I guess the seagulls and the ducks were OK.

  Oh. Except for not having anything to eat for a year.

  Everything died.

  Except all vegetation. Olive trees, and everything else, survived after an entire year underwater and without sunlight.

  OK, gotta stop. Trying to think this stupidly makes my head hurt.

  Street-Talk with Jehovah's Witnesses

  street-talk with jehovah's witnesses.

  opening up a street-level dialogue with jehovah's witnesses:.

  since this will probably be a one time occurrence, an important objective of any street encounter is to bless jws with doubt about their beloved organization.. after exchanging niceties, you might say something like:.

  After about the 3rd question, the JW will peg you as an "apostate" (using the WT definition of the word: "Anyone critical in any sense whatsoever of the teaching of the Watchtower Organization") and shut down. If he is engaged in "public witnessing" he will walk, and if necessary, run away.

  I.e., you'll never get to ask the majority of your questions.

  JWs used to be trained to defend their beliefs. Now that non-JWs realize what questions to ask to expose the undefendability (is that a word?) of those beliefs, JWs have been trained, over the past 2-3 decades, to (if necessary, literally) walk away.

  Woke Oscars cringe

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.

  America without boarders

  by mickbobcat in

  new america without boarders is now sending its uneducated, sometimes criminal and gang members, mostly illiterate people who have nothing to offer to any country they want to go if they think they can better their life.

  so look for our lowest common denominator coming to your country soon.

  politics is like religion. you are either with us or you are against us. There is no middle ground.

  Sadly true. It didn't used to be like that, at least with politics.

  Eventually, yes.

  Almost certainly not in 2021 though. And when it does start up again, it will be at limited capacity (X% of the congregation physically at the KH, the rest on Zoom) for many months.

  I don't anticipate things back to "normal" JW-wise until, at the earliest, 2023.

  and the "FJW" to "XJW"

  Oh I dunno, I can think of at least one word for which the "F" would suffice....

  Only way to improve it would be to change the first 4 digits to 1975!
