  Why would Jehovah give Satan rulership of the World.?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  romans 13 : 1-7 "let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities" etc,"the existing authourities stand placed in their relative positions by god" 2".therefore he who opposers the authourity has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ,those who have taken a stand against it will recieve judgement to themselves "etc,etc,.."..to him who calls for honour such honour.".

  isnt this plainly stating that christians should be supporting and playing along with the governments of this sytem of things ?

  that it is in fact an arrangement of god ?

  But no, the author of Revelation wrote, "Woe to the earth," so God was bound by that holy writ.

  Nothing about this makes any sense.

  Girls are unpredictable, materialist, and use us, men, as a toy - Part 2

  by will-be-apostate in

  2. relationships

  well here am i, a couple of years passed since my original post (link here), somewhat less mysoginistic, more open to relationships, heartbroken again.

  this is an official "fuck my life" thread.. being chased by the elders makes one arrive at the conclusion that there is nothing better than not being chased by the elders.

  i had a pre-jc meeting a week ago.

  "And that's why men are cruel and use us, women, as toys. If you wanna get laid, don't tell the girl you love her, just get laid. That way nobody gets hurt."

  See what I did?
  

  I doubt the veracity of some details in this story, because you go from a one night stand with a girl who just saw you and took you to the dance floor, to break-up Facebook messages in "a couple hours". I have also seen fake stories online where the author decided to flatter himself by saying the girl thought he was so amazing. Just sayin'.
  

  In any case, move on.

  Quality of newer membership

  by Lostandfound in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  on a previous post mamacita29 pointed up the low quality of new jw converts.. is the quality falling even more as the society use lower than low meeting, talks, broadcasts etc.. when i was active initially the organisation and standards seemed totally different today.

  i have seen hard working intelligent elders fall by death or exhaustion.

  the younger generation that came along never really grasped responsibility hence shortage of good elders, never mind the watered down to almost nothing quality of meetings.

  It is an interesting shift that at this point in the game, they are not open for debate. They don't even prepare for it or recommend it. Instead, they just assume they are right, look for pre-disposed interest or circumstantial weakness, and move on. They attack any source of criticism within their ranks like an immune system. They isolate themselves in an echo chamber and congratulate each other for doing so.

  They're like a population that has become isolated and incestuous. Growth has stagnated. Food has diminished in quality, quantity, and variety. Sexual partners are to be found only in the group to keep up identity and integrity, but this has limited growth and solidified the identity as weird to everybody else. The main source of water for this population has been a steady stream of bad news about the outside world. They love bad news, but now that stream is rising and threatening their own infrastructure. They hold the flood waters off with levies here and there, and they attack any of their own who speak out about the dire situation. Eventually, the levies will break, and the population will break up and evolve. And the world spins on.

  *shrug*

  You'd think a violent and "just" god who loves violence would smack this accuser down. You'd really think so.

  I know the rationalization. We choose with our own free will to serve Jehovah and allow him to make a response to the one taunting him. K. Got it.

  But this is the god that killed a guy just for reaching out to catch the Ark of the Covenant.

  Edit: Oh, he hates violence, though. I forgot.

  I can imagine that my old friends heard the theme and think the big A is super close, since they do know someone close to them who gave up.

  I'll be here when they come around.

  I just imagine that squash-and-stretch animation quoting from the very authentic 2 Thessalonians about female subjection.

  And then I imagine Bart Ehrman ripping him to shreds.
