  For all the emphasis that the WTS places on reading the bible "in context" in order to make a correct interpretation, I was shocked when I first realized that their references to scientific works were blatant mis-quotes and quotes taken out of context.

  My take on it, now that I'm no longer a jw, is that it is a deliberate countermeasure on the minds of jws, to keep them from exploring scholarly writings from other sources. The idea that the WTS is Spirit Directed™ and is stringent in its 'read the bible in context' motto prevents the average jw from even considering that such flagrant academic dishonesty is a possibility with the WTS.

  iamallcool,

  it's Bobby McFerrin's song, Don't Worry Be Happy.

  Don't Worry, Be Happy
  From the Movie "Cocktails"
  Performed by Bobby McFerrin

  Here is a little song I wrote
  You might want to sing it note for note
  Don't worry be happy
  In every life we have some trouble
  When you worry you make it double
  Don't worry, be happy......

  Ain't got no place to lay your head
  Somebody came and took your bed
  Don't worry, be happy
  The land lord say your rent is late
  He may have to litigate
  Don't worry, be happy
  Lood at me I am happy
  Don't worry, be happy
  Here I give you my phone number
  When you worry call me
  I make you happy
  Don't worry, be happy
  Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
  Ain't got not girl to make you smile
  But don't worry be happy
  Cause when you worry
  Your face will frown
  And that will bring everybody down
  So don't worry, be happy (now).....

  There is this little song I wrote
  I hope you learn it note for note
  Like good little children
  Don't worry, be happy
  Listen to what I say
  In your life expect some trouble
  But when you worry
  You make it double
  Don't worry, be happy......
  Don't worry don't do it, be happy
  Put a smile on your face
  Don't bring everybody down like this
  Don't worry, it will soon past
  Whatever it is
  Don't worry, be happy

  "DON'T BE AFRAID TO DIE FOR THE TRUTH"

  by Mary in

  2. friends

  my jw sister was over tonight for supper and after a couple of glasses of vino she told me that "today's watchtower study was bullshit" and that one of the 'elite elders' made a comment that bothered her a great deal.. he was apparently at bethel not too long ago and "one of the big-wigs" who was giving a talk said "don't be afraid of dying for the truth brothers" and this jackass was stupid enough to repeat this at the meeting.

  it bothered my sister a great deal and i said to her: "soooo are they going to start passing out the kood-aid or what?

  " she knew exactly what i was talking about and she said "ya, i wondered the same thing.

  That moron probably was clueless as to what it actually means to "die for The Truth™". Unlike your sister and her late husband.

  What an asshole.

  Seriously, I have been worried about the increasing persistence in emphasizing dying for The Truth™. For at least 10 years, I've been concerned about the possibilities, and not just in terms of JWs martyring themselves and their children on the No Blood™ altar. I'm just at a loss as to what we can do to prevent tragic outcomes.

  It has been my experience that it is better to recuse oneself from a battle of wits where one's opponent is so clearly unarmed. He is spouting so much anti-Apostate™ rhetoric that it is obvious that the thoughts are directly from the WTS and not from his own mind.

  with admiration from a fellow Jezebel™

  Perhaps Mexican people have seen so many scam artists before becoming JWs, it was easier for them to catch on to the BS and get out before they'd invested too much of their lives in the cult.

  did anyone hear about this story?

  this lady is 70, and has not done it yet.

  now she thinks it's time, but she doesn't believe in premarital marriage.

  Too bad freddy franz kicked the bucket when he did. We could have put the two senior citizen virgins in a room together. She wouldn't have to feel self-conscious of her appearance because he was blind as a bat too.... which may or may not have helped him... we do know that he had a crazy ass imagination and would have probably envisioned her as the bride of christ, like some of his other wet dreams.
