England v Ukraine

by BoogerMan in

so nice to see thousands upon thousands of fighting-age ukrainian men managed to escape the war and reach wembley to support their national football team yesterday.

things must be improving, eh?.

Right wing media plays the same card the watchtower and Tract Society does.

1. Makes you think you are smarter than you are.

2. Promotes a contrarian mentality.

3. Always pushes the lowest common denominator button.

4. Uses extra vague terms to have you upset all the time. Everything is either " woke " or " communism " now.

Seriously , Fuck right off thinking Ukraine deserved this or we somehow provoked Putin. Or we are doing it sell weapons are whatever Fox or Breitbart or Prison Planet is telling you. Fuck right off.

30 years ago David Koresh and his WACO Adventist cult experienced their "Armageddon". Great documentary on Net Flix.

by Balaamsass2 in

a fascinating look into the human mind, cults, religion, child abuse, and mental illness colliding with government bureaucracy.. 3rd gen and i watched this tonight.

impossible not to see some similarities between watchtower teachings, fear-mongering, and its "compounds".. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scz2x7r_xxc.

The symbolism of Donald Trump hosting a rally at Waco , an event in which a child molester burned a bunch of kids alive and inspired the Oklahoma city bombing is truly disgusting.

But But But government over reach, gun laws.........................fuck that.

Or maybe I am just a little jaded from my JW upbringing and all these child abuse stuff but the guy should hang.

Silicon Valley Bank bankruptcy....

by mikeflood in

didn't know silicon valley bank was so important for start-ups....now there's some sort of contagion, people taking their money from regional banks to the big banks.

.

system seems pretty resilient and different from 2008. thoughts?.

This wasn’t your average bank. It’s clients were mainly venture capitalists and high tech start ups . Lots of high risk , high reward . It was mostly funded by the bond markets. Interest rates went up, bond market went down. Everyone started to pull there money our . Bank went tits up.

It’s not a clear representation of the banking industry.

Romans 6:7 - What Does It Really Mean?

by Honesty in

the convoluted jw interpretation of romans 6:7 just does not make any kind of sense at all.

after careful consideration of the scriptutre within its context i have to ask myself why i never noticed the inconsistency in the various wt publications.

i would really love to hear from some of the more outspoken jw apologists who frequent this board because they have proven that they can think for themselves and may have recieved some new light on the subject that they'll be willing to share with the rest of us.

Riley

What paul is saying is when a person dies, they sin now more. They can’t sell crack or make porn movies or whatever because they are dead. That is kind of the whole idea of being free from sin, the new person in christ, the death of the old man.

The NWT changes set free from sin to aquitted from sin which changes the context of the verse. It is just just watchtower dishonestly and also leads to suicides.

This subject is one of major grievances with the borg and which i saw the changes and more importantly context , i was just pissed. Still am.

Mass Shooting at Kingdom Hall in Hamburg, Germany

by EdenOne in

mass shooting at a kingdom hall in hamburg, germany this evening.

at least 6 or 7 killed, dozens injured.

single shooter on the run, police doesn't rule out more shooters.

Riley

We have a crazy in our hall. 40 something , lives in a group home, can’t work because of anger issues , not allowed to own guns . Everyone feels quite creepy around him. He attends meetings because he was a born in. He doesn’t do any field service or public talks.

If he decided to go off the radar , i sure as hell hope no one is going to set up any road blocks to him leaving .

I don’t care what anyone’s says . Disfellowshipping someone with mental health issues is stupid and dangerous . Now if this guy wasn’t active and they did it to make a point because he wrote his own book instead of the mush he was being feed, this is as much on the WTS as much as the shooter.

Breaking News: Anthony Morris III no longer serving on the Governing Body

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.

this is not a joke.

anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!

Riley

So

Four weeks ago i could get disfellowship for saying I don’t believe Tony Morris is a spirit anointed channel to god.

Now he has been fired.

Imagine spending a life time shunning a loved one because you believed the new convanent was only with 8 men to find out its really the cast of Jersey Shore.

No words. Shame on anyone who still believes this nonsense .

If his hall knew he had mental issues and he was inactive , they should have just left him alone.

So many issues in his stupid cult just revolve half wit narcissists not minding their own business.

It will be interesting to read his book though. Who would of ever thought a religion crated by a nut job who just has to one up all Christian doctrine would spawn nut jobs who claim to have it all figured out.

I can almost guarantee that what happened was a couple half wit elders decided to flex with an inactive member. If a couple assholes showed up out of blue and decided to tell my friends and family to stop to stop talking to me, i might lose my shit too .

Not making excuses for the shooter but i hold the WTS just as responsible as him.

dear friends,.

i think you all know me as a person who has always strived, despite my imperfections to only ever wanting to be and remain in the “truth”.

it is in fact what i so desperately want for my son ashton and my baby girl honey bee, to be lovers of truth and grow up to be a loyal servants of jehovah god and his son, jesus christ.

How long till they start messing with you ?

by Riley in

i have these friends, kind of more friends of friends.

i believe their 14 year son is going to get baptized this summer.

he also seems to be quite involved in sports and is a really good athlete.

Riley

So

I have these friends, kind of more friends of friends. I believe their 14 year son is going to get baptized this summer. He also seems to be quite involved in sports and is a really good athlete. His parents are fairly new to the faith. I don't think the elders have said anything.

My questions is once he is baptized, how long till the Elders start sticking theirs noses into his business ? Trying to make him quit his Sports teams. What happens if he doesn't listen ? Do you think the elders are waiting for him to get baptized before they say anything ?

I think they are snakes but what do I know.
