"ToMo3's liquor purchase video actually PROVES Jehovah's direction!"

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so i played the game of putting on my jw apologetic cap for a moment, and thought of how a devout jw could rationalize this whole liquor buying situation.. they could say:.

"this actually proves that jehovah is guiding his organization!!

he was bringing this activity of tomo3 to light, and it would also prove to be a loyalty test for all jws, to see if they would be stumbled right out of the truth!".

Anyone? Perth WA?

today after paying the bills i had a coffee met there a sr friend of my wifes and by all accounts a warm chatty personable person.

she introduced me to the sr with her of who i have no memory.. this one has been listening to the rumour mill.

cold aloof she looked at me like i was foul smelling and managed to suffer my little convo with the other sr.. held in disdain!

Toughen up Zeb, take it like water off a ducks back, you can not let other peoples social disabilities get you down.

Is New Zealand right to ban military style guns?

by ThomasCovenant in

jw
friends

in response to the recent terrorist attack in new zealand their government is proposing to ban semi automatic and military style weaponry.. do you agree with this idea?.

would they be better off allowing more of these weapons instead?.

would it be better to perhaps allow more of the muslim community for example, to be armed with semi automatic guns to protect themselves at their places of worship?.

Very much right to ban it

Jehovah's Witnesses: A Coercive Organization?

by john.prestor in

so in sociology we divide organizations up into three categories or types, you got utilitarian, voluntary, and coercive.

utilitarian means people join to accomplish some purpose like selling food or making furniture, voluntary means they join up just for fun or to hang out with people like the freemasons or a lot of churches, and coercive means they don't really want to be there but they gotta because someone will punish them if they leave, so labor camps, armies, or prisons.. in a paper i wrote for a class a while back i argued that jehovah's witnesses should be seen as a coercive organization.

yeah, people join up and they do leave, nobody beats you up if you stop attending or preaching, nobody imprisons you, shoots your dog, kills your kids that kind of thing, and nobody makes you join up either.

resolute Bandicoot

How many times have your heard the line "we know you will make the right choice"?

Coercive, oh yeah.
