Unbelievable! Is this even allowed? Two elders from my hall RANDOMLY stopped by my apartment!

ok wow.

i am really really pissed.

i had to really hold back and bite my tongue.

Kick50r

I don't really understand .You want to go back to the Corporation and seem surprised that they visit you?

You are going through a reinstatement process aka YOU wanted them to visit.

BTW the "theocratic warfare" method you just described ( avoiding conversations) is something you will NOT be able to do daily, once you're reinstated.

You will have to actually get your act together and either just lie in theyre faces daily when subject to EXTREME personal questions or leave. I've read your bio and I think you know there will be a LOT of questions down the road.

I know , and most of us know unfortunately what it is to live "undercover" , to lose affection from the pppl we love , but are you sure lying to yourself the rest of your life is the right choice?

If so, prepare yourself cz a LOT MORE is coming down the road,as you should know if you been around the org before.

Self-Driving vehicles and delivery robots - why?

by FadeToBlack in

i saw a 'news' article today about pizza hut (i think) delivering pizzas via a robotic vehicle in nz.

also another article headline saying it is not a question of if, but when.

my immediate thought was, why?

Kick50r

"Self-Driving vehicles and delivery robots - why?" Well , they exist because we can.

We are intelligent as human beings enough to make them a reality , Corporations use technology to make money, in the near future only a very LOW PERCENTAGE of population will have a skill not replicated cheaply by a machine/robot/computer/automation systems.

The first tec revolution was in agriculture, heavy industry ,recently in manufacturing,services , finance, everywhere. Thats the main reason the unemployment will realistically never go down.IF they will be all professions in the future I imagine? Ofc , only in a FRACTION of the values they were

The problem is not technology , unless we want to go back to live in caves , without plastic/electricity/etc etc etc.

The problem is people are not aware enough to make happen a new fair redistribution of wealth, because in the end , what good is to have a MIRACLE TEC , if only 4/5 people benefit from it , while everybody else around them despairs?

The patent systems as they are at the moment are a scam, they don't promote science innovation al ALL, instead protect the corporations that exploit and enslave populations using politicians FOR PROFIT of a few.

Is Reading/Writing about Mythologies bad?

by Messhy in

as the topic title says, is reading/writing about mythologies bad?

i read alot of mythologies and enjoy it.

should i stop?.

Kick50r

Hello Messhy and welcome to the forum.

" Is Reading/Writing about Mythologies bad?" Well , I hope is not bad as I like and always liked reading about several Mythologies.

Was, for example by reading Egyptian Mythology that interested me in Sumerian Mythology that I found the most interesting one "Gilgamesh Epic" that I would advise you to read , if you haven't already.

I think , the problem is , when some people call MYTHOLOGY the truth.

Our COBE(Coordinator Of Body of Elders) Cried at the Kingdom Hall

by James Jack in

it was announced recently, that "bro.

z is no long the coordinator(76 years old), bro y(60) is now the new coordinator of the body of elders".. you see, bro.

z has been an elder for 43 years and 35 of them as the cobe/po.

Kick50r

So , a blind man that enforced Corporation rules upon others has step down so other "tech-savy" blind man will so the same to the next generation. Sad reality we live in

Unfortunately these were the people that conduct the LIES to our families , not helped them imo.... are they surprised that when no longer usable are replaced ? Its how a Corporation Works, unfortunately

Why ExJW's should care about the FBI vs. Apple encryption case

by juandefiero in

jw
friends

many people that don't keep up with technology news are, at best, vaguely aware that apple is fighting a court order to create a tool for the government to unlock one of the san bernadino terrorist's iphone.. what the fbi is asking for could jeopardize the security of all iphones.

besides the obvious possible slippery slope leading to governmental abuse of this technology they're asking apple to create, there is a more personal reason for many exjw's to be concerned about.. anytime you create a weakness in information security, there is always the possibility of that weakness being exploited.

sometimes, those weaknesses are difficult to exploit, sometimes they are easy.

Kick50r

Privacy is on a heated debate right now. On one hand ppl demand privacy on-line , on the other hand ppl demand security. Hard Balance .The outcome of this will surely affect us all.

AT THE MOMENT , to my knowledge there is no REAL anonymity in the web unless encrypted coms are used as in the I-phone and some other systems alike.

The "regular user" can be anonymous to the " regular user" sort of thing.

For the "advanced users" there are some more options , but ultimately is the organization that implements the system that control the system aka internet providers keeping logs for XXX years connection records that can be accessed under a judge request.For those that will go on about Thor witch I have , lets not just forget , that was the result of a U.S. Navy research project.

Ps. Smartphones are the most vulnerable devices to be hacked. There is software (OOOooooo) on line to monitor/track/register/delete/destroy phones or send data masked when Wi-Fi is on to a remote serve that can be accessed anywhere on the planet.

The Current State of technology is much more advanced of the one perceived by the general population I imagine.

Wt encouraging people to completely forgive but they dont

by poopie in

jw
friends

but they don't forgive because they still shun people.

who they feel are not worthy of forgivenes.

Kick50r

lol , of course they encourage people to FORGET. Was that not one of the reasons we have organized religion? So that justice may no longer be searched or made , but instead delayed to the "other life " ?

So that corruption / abuse /enslavement can be made freely? ( in the bible - slavery is legal and approved by God. )

For from the Religions perspective we are NOT to seek justice or fairness, instead are encouraged to "give the other face" so that one day our father in heaven bla bla bla ?

Sure , one look around and we see this forgive and forget total B.S. is ONLY for the citizens. When Citizens fail in a law does the estate / irs/ police / debt colectors / and even religious organization truly forgive? NO as we shoudnt either .

Just my humble and ignorant opinion

Gross! Grooming of young brothers in the KH to do more for Jehobadahhh and his organ-nigh-say-shun! I saw it myself.

by macys in

jw
friends

so there is this young brother probably 14 or 15 and the elders are already grooming him to do more for jehobadahhh.

most of the elders in this kh are old like 60+ and sometimes there are not enough brothers to do the mics or sound so you will see a 70 year old elder forced into action.

almost comical to see a brother who thinks instagram is an email service try to operate the sound system and projector as he plays the wrong song or brings the screen down during a prayer.

Kick50r

Happens daily. As most boys at the time we all been there .Good thing I always smiled and waved and completely ignored them.

I just think the observation " I think this elder is a pedo. Us girls just know these things " just discredits your OP .

Would a loving creator give humans the gift of free will?

by Heisenberg in

they say ignorance is bliss... well, i wish that god did not give adam free will.

i am ok to not have free will if it means i will live forever in perfect paradisiac conditions.it has been explained that free will is a gift from god.

they say 'who would want to live life like a robot?

Kick50r

The problem surfaces really for these sort of questions when we apply logic for the outcome is not expected by religious people

If by creator we imply the god of the bible as it is portrayed and

If by free will we imply self awareness / sentient in the way we can calculate different outcomes/consequences to a decision differently from an animal then:

An all knowing god , by giving "free will" would know the outcome and ALL that came to be would be his will , including the "wars in heavens and earth"

Massive Plunge in Number of New JW Congregations from 1990 to 2014

by steve2 in

in a separate thread on the very latest figures for the current world wide annual report of jws, discussion turned to how "we'll know decline has really set in.

one of the posters said: .

the figure that interests me most is the number of congregations.

When they own records show that growth is not real growth, one can only imagine what the REAL records are ^^
