by stuckinarut2 in

wow!.

so as many of us know, alex o'connor (cosmicskeptic) did a great video a few years back in response to the appallingly homophobic caleb and sophia cartoon!.

he gets a lot of views for his videos, but this one has more than any other presentation by him!

Disclaimer: Any young ones on this forum, if you are reading this thread... don't look this up. It will take you down a rabbit hole you can never come back from and you just can't un-see some things. Be warned.

You know, back when I saw this originally I had all the same arguments.

This time watching it all I could think was...

"One Man, One Woman".... is that a play on the popular video "Two Girls, One Cup"?

It wouldn't surprise me if JW.org were stupid enough to follow the masses of people playing with that title but unlike those masses having no idea what it is referencing. Ironically, I find both videos equally disgusting.

This is awesome! Can you imagine people showing up out of curiosity because it is a 'big deal'? I don't think the response would be quite what they expect. A free event with videos!!! Provided by people who have no idea what it takes to be entertaining!!! Yeah, it is definitely different! Some blogger or journalist should go and write a review!

I Think Their Is A Move Coming From Higher Ups To Get These Insane Idiot Out Of The Drivers Seat Of Jehovah's Chariot

by Brokeback Watchtower in

look at all the lawsuits, scandals, unsuccessful cover up, contribution shrinkage, stopped building project, and much more.

these guys are steering jehovah's chariot off a cliff if someone don't put the breaks on these delusional clowns.. so what do you think is there something a foot there at chemical dump clean up site warwick?

i bet you a coup is in the offing, because you know not everyone close to the governing body believes their bull shit but are playing along until the time is right to keep the wt ship from sinking like the titanic..

Well there you go, all you ambitious & cynical JWs. -- sir82

You forgot to address only the ambitious and cynical MEN.

Do you think they would accept someone who had a female-to-male sex change? You could add that to your list, but that seems pretty extreme. Although... maybe if someone did do that we could get some equality and rights for women to be leaders in the cult.

I think it is far more likely that A.) noting at all will happen and things will go on as they have for way longer than any of us can fathom... until they lose too many members and it just slowly fades into nothing OR B.) the GB will announce that Armageddon has arrived, get everyone to build bunkers and lock themselves in, then run for the hills with their money (you have to know with their tailored suits and nice jewelry that they have money) in off-shore accounts.

Personally, I think A is far more likely. I think they will die out the same way the Shakers did, only slower since they do believe in procreation.

Born ins: did you have "near life experiences"?

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

i recently watched the 90s movie fight club for the first time and heard the phrase "near life experience.".

for me, a different definition of this phrase would be someone who grew up in the truth and led a very secluded and restricted life (like me) but on rare occasions actually experienced something that was considered quite normal by most people.. growing up in "the troof" was depressing.

it was characterized by long periods of loneliness.

If it wasn't the cult making my life bizarre, or my mother's abuse making me too terrified to try, then it was constantly moving like nomads that made sure I never had any 'near life experiences'. About the only thing close would have been going to an amusement park with friends or family. Not a big one like Disney or Universal or Sea World, but the smaller ones like town fairs, Worlds of Fun (Kansas) or Hershey Park (Pennsylvania). That was the closest I ever felt to being normal.

You won't believe this ... Jehovah's rich blessing has befallen me !!!

by dubstepped in

friends

my dad died a couple years back (not how you thought this would start, i know).

he was an elder, and a very emotionally abusive father, well before the point where he ever shunned me.

he died pretty much penniless, and never would buy life insurance or anything.

Maybe it was Satan sticking it to Jehovah.

Sorry, had to play devil's advocate for just a moment.

Shunning: Reasoning With JW's

by The Fall Guy in

perhaps this line of questioning could agitate a jw's thinking.

it can't hurt.. you: is shunning a biblical teaching?.

jw: yes.. you: so it must be god's law?.

How much LOVE did Jehovah show the human race during the 4,000 years or so leading up to the baptism of Jesus ? - smiddy3

Oh My God! Of course you say that then I have to think about how much love he has shown us since the bible was written... and... well he doesn't do any of the things he used to. He doesn't talk to us at all.

Does that mean that Jehovah is shunning the human race??? <blink><blink><blink>

Things you didn't expect to like...

by sparrowdown in

stuff you never expected you would do or enjoy doing as a non-witness.... researching - always thought i hated study and reading turns out it was just wt literature i hated studying and reading.

having political opinions and just having opinons and beliefs that are not set in stone and that i am free to assess, review and adjust as i become more aware of imformation .

droping the f-bomb every now and again to make a point feels surprisingly good but that may just be post-religious rebellion that wears off... eventually.

Talking to strangers. When forced to go door to door... I hated it more than anything else. Later, I was a hairdresser for 10 years and I had to learn how to talk to strangers and how to make conversation. It's actually quite enjoyable when I do it because I want to and not because I am being forced into it.

Heb. 1:2-3 Proof we should worship Jesus?

by NikL in

jw.org believes that jesus is not god but a separate entity.

let's go with that for the time being.

in the referenced scriptures the writer of hebrews says that jesus "sustains all things by the word of his power" and has been "appointed heir of all things".

Using a spiritual/religous text to determine if you should worship their G/god...

At best that is a circular argument. At worst... just really dumb. I mean... think about it.

But let's say we go with your example. If it is the same as a royal heir to rulership... people respect Prince Charles but they don't refrain from turning their backs on him or give him any of the other behaviors only given to the ruler of England because he isn't the ruler of England yet. So, by your own example, Jesus shouldn't be worshiped until he takes over the rulership... and thus becomes God himself.

Cost of a home bible study? Free

Watching a dog pee on the hate propaganda? Priceless.

Side Note: How much do they think worldly people pay for home bible studies?
