  Netflix Has Jehovah's Blessing Behind It!!!

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am getting sick of the broadcast and how 1 new hall or a few thousand members in an area is "proof" of jehovah's blessing.. we just had a commentor at our wt study that brought out the 1.5% increase and how amazing that is and proof of jehovah's blessing.

  not to be a joy kill but if i was invested in a company that was only growing at 1.5% and downsizing everything, i'd be selling that sucker and going short.

  it hit it's stock performance peak and is retracting.

  What he didn't say is most of thus increase is from developing countries. Countries that are still playing catch up in the communication infrastructure, countries that barely have smart phones, the developing countries that have access to smart phones, however the internet is barely usable!
  I still cry when I hear about the poor Filipino's who thought Jehovah would save them if they went to the kingdom hall during one of the worst typhoons in the Philippines history. Did the watchtowers warn their "sheep?" No. The fact the watchtower knew this typhoon was about to hit the Philippines, but chose to do nothing makes me sick! Then they decide to make a propaganda video about it!
  This country is one of the many developing countries the watchtower are targeting, in fact, I would hazard a guess that the Philippines is one of the watchtowers best targets!
  So, in summery. The growth is coming from the watchtowers insidious policy of targeting vulnerable people in vulnerable countries!

  .... being a little facetious today.... :).

  the february 2016 broadcast has got me thinking.

  crosses are bad, they make jehovah sad, they are terrible, evil, frightening things to most jws.

  They are certainly emotional vampires. I was looking at a couple of photo's of myself today. One from my renewed driving licence, and one from my drivers CPC card that still has my mug on from 2005. The change in me is astonishing!

  My eyes look dead in the 2005 photo with no smile. In my new photo I have a crafty smile on my face that would melt grannies heart lol.

  However, that said. I don't think I will look at garlic bread the same again! I hope I do not break out into spontaneous laughter when ordering this rather delectable food stuffs!

  Has anybody watched Making A Murderer on Netflix ?

  by smiddy in

  2. entertainment

  i watched this 10 part series the other day and i was appalled at the investigation conducted by the police , especially the way they conducted their investigation with brendan vassey , his interrogation and obvious manipulation by the police officers , i couldn`t believe he was convicted , and sentenced to a jail term.. to any intelligent person with any sense of compassion could see brendan vassey was intellectually disadvantaged , yet these police officers exploited that failing of this boy .he should never have been convicted , his case should have been thrown out of court , the fact that he has been in jail over 10 years is a gross miscarriage of justice .. the conviction of steven avery seemed to me to be a set up also from what was presented on netflix ,.

  i am no fan of steven avery ,i think he is a bit of a hillbilly type , that has had no problem with cruelty to animals , which i abhor ,yet i do think he has been railroaded in this conviction ,while the real killer and rapist goes free .. what are your thoughts .

  Unfortunately this young man is a victim of an ever increasing corrupt law enforcement. We only need to look at the latest events regarding the Oregon cold blooded shooting of a man who clearly had his hands in the air to see how far law enforcement will go to hide corruption!

  j.w-it happens in all religions.. me- so that justifies sending pedo's into strangers houses.how would you like it if a pedo came to your place and you didn't know.. j.w- it happened to my mother and if he came to my place it knock him out.. me - but you have no problem with anyone from your church going to peoples houses even if they are a pedo.. we argued around in circles with him saying the elders may not know and me saying well i told them and so did the victim and he admitted to it ,then i told him about the r.c in australia and he said that could be anyone claiming to be a j.w could be on the stand ( by this time he was getting desperate)the i said like jeffery jackson?.

  i told them to look it up on you tube.. i gave then the names and congro's the 2 pedo's are in and said i'd come back next week and see if they had checked it out.the lady's body language said she knew the elder that raped his sister as they are a well know family they were in the year book a few years ago.. stand by for next week.. karter.

  Priceless!

  Please keep us updated.

  I have had JWs pack up their trolleys and run away 4 times now. Twice in Berwick and twice in Edinburgh

  Yes I'm keeping score ha

  
  

  OMG Berwick? They even penetrate the smallest of towns! Here in Kilmarnock, which is regarded as one of the bigger towns in Scotland, I never see them in town! Although they were on my street recently and I told them to get off the street before I call the police for trying to recruit more for their paedophile rings!

  Scared rabbits in between the beam of headlights come to mind. :)

  Quote from a book I am reading regarding first century Christianity.

  by David Graham in

  i am reading a very informative book on jehovah's witnesses and their beliefs on first century christianity.

  the writer goes on to say that there was no such thing as first century christianity and it only started to take off in the second century onwards.

  this book and the writer is very well informed.

  The way I see it, "First-Century Christianity" - as practiced by its founder - was... well... Judaism.

  
  

  And top marks go to you. Well done that man :) Yes this is what the book says :)

This is a quote that really stood out to me and serves as a guideline for us all today in my opinion.

  The Acts of Paul and Thecla (or Thekla) contains the history of a female convert and associate of Paul. [23] She eventually became a cult hero, with devotees flocking to her shrines, including the pilgrim Egeria, who wrote an account of her journey in AD 384, of which only a fragment survives. Thecla was revered for centuries, almost as much as Mary, the Mother of God, despite the condemnation of Tertullian, a prominent early Christian authority who exposed the work as a forgery.

  Reference - Rachel Walsh The Day Of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Cappytan. Isn't "black and white thinking" why people are so upset with "he who shall not be named" to begin with? Huh?

  
  

  how the hell does this make sense. Why would it in any way be black and white thinking? Is this not in fact a person making their own mind up about a person when they have seen and experienced the abuse this person has used?

  
  Black and white thinking is believing blindly in one persons one sided argument. How many who have commented in favour of cedars have done this purely on his argument, without evidence of his argument? I would suspect the majority. Your comment is actually what I would view as black and white!

  A little experiment for you to do here. Observe those who have had mostly green likes as they follow the sheep in favour of cedars. Then observe those who have red dislikes such as myself. Then ponder on this. The ones who have a red dislike, why do they have them? Is it simply because they dislike cedars or is it because they have a capacity of independent thinking and do not care if they go along with the sheep.

  People led such as yourself are just after popularity and are willing to go along with the sheep, where I do not and no matter how many red dislikes I get I still will follow my instincts. I do not fall into line as you clearly do!
