There is some pretty incredible people out there in the "world"

by LevelThePlayingField in

i am a fan of a video came called simcity and other building games like cities skylines and the such also legend of grimrock.

anyway, as i watch others plays these games on youtube i have noticed that there are some pretty intelligent people out there.

how others can solve the puzzles way better than i can on legend of grimrock and how they can build cities in ways that i had not thought of at all.

My mom often repeated a rumor that Stephen King is a DF'd witness. I have read some of his memoir, searched through the e-book, and I can't find anything to suggest that.

Good call on Hank Marvin, @Tallon. You could add Larry Graham as well for slap bass.

The fact is: If you are a creative JW, your creativity is going to be stifled. You have to do all things for Jehovah. Can you write a book that portrays evil? Can you even have a single character get murdered? Can you ever do anything without Jehovah looking over your shoulder?

This is exactly why I had a few JW friends who are creative people who were considering pseudonyms. How terrible is that? "Yes, I'm afraid to use my real name, because I have this Zombie apocalypse story about a boy wizard, and it might get me separated from my family because we're in a cult."

Hyper Tech

by IveBeenBitten in

this "world event" is a few years away but i'm in the field so i work everyday to prepare for it.. our technology is advancing at an exponential rate.

shit will hit the fan because of it.. even as a jw i knew this was coming.

in fact, i thought that's what the bible was talking about.

"Open source knowledge"? Oh no, the crazy android downloaded every wiki on the Internet... So now in addition to being a superior specimen, he's... Really really awesome at Trivial Pursuit.

If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

by stuckinarut2 in

it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?

didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.

seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

@pale.emperor, they are given the Deus Ex Machina card to play in any instance when their truth claim is threatened. "New scrolls," "wait on Jehovah," etc.

Some might suggest Prince, but everyone knows he was Prince before he was the JW known as Prince.

by Funchback in

i stumbled across jwtalk.com recently and i wasn't able to read many things posted there because i wasn't a member.

so, i decided to join (it's free).

i am not interested in re-becoming a jw.

It's just cult reinforcement, and it insures that as the WTS bleeds financially, a new organization can be swung from many of the current network of followers. Such also happens when a pyramid scheme is shut down by the feds and all the uplines swing their networks into a new organization selling some other crappy product.

We seek to maintain an upbuilding, entertaining, safe, open, and intellectually stimulating environment, where mature Christians can exercise their God-given "freeness of speech." (2 Corinthians 3:12)

Who was/is the promised Messiah ? Jesus or Immanuel

by smiddy in

in isaiah 7:14 "therefore jehovah himself will give you men a sign look the maiden herself will actually become pregnant and she is giving birth to a son and she will certainly call his name immanuel".

this scripture is attributed to the virgin birth of jesus from his mother mary to become the messiah.

the problem is the name of the messiah isnt jesus its immanuel .

Guys, guys, it's obviously the Kwisatz Haderach, Paul Muaddib.
