But then they continue to push articles saying to follow the words of the governing body just like words from the mouth of God.

I'm glad I woke up before I was 'too old' to have fun. But I did lose a lot of opportunity.

Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?
by TerryWalstrom inbanks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.
in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?
banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

I found Venezuelas money problem interesting. 1 USD equaled about 12 of theirs, then within 2 years 1 USD equaled over 200,000 of theirs.
Prior to their hyperinflation, with the money in their supply, it went up to much and so fast, that people needed a backpack of cash, which would be worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to get just eggs, etc.How did all those extra 'bills' appear out of nowhere. Even with hyperinflation, unless just printing nonstop the past couple years, just physically all of that money around should have been impossible.

For those Genuinely Concerned about Press Freedom
by Simon inour illustrious leader, justin trudeau, has just announced a half a $billion fund that will be given out to "trustworthy" news sources.. of course this will have nothing todo with the fact that there will be a federal election next year and there are plenty of bad things to highlight in the liberals record.
they will obviously dole the money out in a totally impartial manner, even handing funding to reporters that are critical of them and trudeau.
"trustworthy" news sources won't just be a euphemism for "writes positive stories about me, avoids negative ones".

How do you determine whether any religion is good or bad since...
by TerryWalstrom inso, yesterday whilst playing chess i had a discussion ranging widely topically in which my chess opponent asked me, "how do you determine whether any religion is good or bad since there is so much basic disagreement on interpretations of text?
"i replied this way:"does this particular god need to be treated like an adult, or as a spoiled child with a churlish temper?
that's a good place to start.

Depends on how your moral compass judges what is good or not. Some are if harm to some for the greater good of all, some are no benefits will ever justify harm to even 1 even if greater good, etc. Many different moralities.
Religion has done both good and bad. Good in establishing unity and community in old times, perhaps controlling those who on their own morality would have done harm to others, etc. Bad in the crimes, deaths, and hurtful things done in the name of it.

The Jehovah's Witnesses religion founded upon aggressive opportunistic people.
by Finkelstein intaking a reflective look back onto the founders of the jw religion such as c t russell and j rutherford we can see very opportunistic people who were avowed to themselves more so than being actual true bible interpreters and adherents.. indication of that is just how closed in these men were in their individually devised theology such as pyramidology, end times doctrine, jesus has returned and so on, where there was no effort to substantiate these claims from outside sources by other christian religious organizations .. c t russell was not an trained bible theologian by any imagination he just absorbed any outside information that he thought was engaging or provocatively interesting and went about publishing what others had found or expressed.
j rutherford was one these people who was lured into what russell was preaching and saw what the wts was as a publishing house and grab it including the money that russell had put into it.. the literature circulation and distribution continued on from him, what is realized now is the wts/jws preaching gospel work is not an faithfully accurate preaching according to scripture.
more or less the wts leaders created a working cult around its own public sales representatives in the pretense of preaching the gospel of jesus christ.

On Russell I think he may have been sincere. Rutherford absolutely not. The way he claimed he had God's authority, all commands from Jesus not him, his prophecy of 1925, the princes, etc. Then how vehemently he denied making those and blaming everybody else when it was in print. Then how he went to seize more control and kick out any who point out his lies and false prophesies. Rutherford knew he was full of shit and laughed all the way to the bank with his first class lifestyle.

Had a family member try to initiate shunning but now they are settling for no religious discussion, notice how I did that....
by Bad_Wolf ini think this can help some people.
i had a family member who due to holiday issues, felt they had to start shunning me unless i returned to the religion.
and you know they think those of us who leave still believe it's the truth and we are choosing to willfully rebel against god, etc.
