  It's just like him to play the "do you know who I am" card when he was using a pseudonym.

  "Have I read it? I'll have you know that I was consulted for it!"

  When The SHTF.

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. social
  2. current

  we have several non-jdub friends who are busy stockpiling foods and goods for the impending societal collapse.

  some are happy enough to be called preppers, others are not, but say that looking at the deteriorating condition of the world that it's only a matter of time before the shtf and they want to be prepared to protect themselves and their families when it happens.. contrast that to the jdubs who are actively telling people that the end of the world is coming, but aren't preparing in a practical way because they have been brainwashed by a "jehovah has always protected his servants" mindset from the gb at hq (who laughingly have no reason to be concerned because they're hoping for a quick getaway up to heaven when the jw 'end of the world' comes!).

  the most the average jdub has is a go-bag rucksack in case they have to quickly leave their house in the event of a natural disaster like a flood or a wildfire.. isn't it better to be safe than sorry?

  A good JW would stockpile two things: a stack of literature to hand out, and all the faith they can muster. After all, God will provide! There's no way it ends with them starving to death and being eaten by rampaging marauders, who then use the pamphlets as toilet paper.

  We urgently need a responsible moderator to be appointed from Europe, South Africa, or Australia/NZ. I rule myself out of consideration

  LOL. It was very big of him to turn down the (un-offered) job of moderator. I'm sure he would have been the very model of an impartial and fair jurist.

  Thisismein1972: "I do not know why I am following this site, I will take my leave" then returns as soon as he has either had enough sympathy, are someone has "insulted" him.

  He uses that tactic to goad people into supporting him, either by asking him not to leave because they value his work/input or by asking others to leave him alone. He did it during the livestream and in the following weeks on Twitter. I think he might be doing it less because now there are fewer people offering support and more people telling him that yes, perhaps it is time he disappeared. Without the dopamine rush of people racing to pat him on the back, it's not as attractive an option.

  I think he is replacing it with the "look at what a great daddy I am" messages and pictures. He gets support from people fawning over his children, and he can bark back at anyone who makes a critical comment, claiming that they're persecuting his family. I'm wondering how long this phase will last, but there is a time limit, since his children will probably figure him out sooner than he might expect. And I think he'll use every underhanded tactic on them that he uses on everyone else. It will be ugly.

  “this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

  heaven and earth will pass away but my words will by no means pass away.”.

  the destruction of jerusalem is insignificant in the large scheme of things.

  Christianity is not structured for everyone to go around believing and teaching to others whatever Bible interpretation they like.

  But that is the history of Christianity. Dozens (or hundreds, or even thousands depending on who you ask) of denominations exist because people interpreted the Bible a certain way and taught that to others. Those differences are significant enough to have led to centuries of bloodshed between people who all called themselves Christian.

  The faithful steward mystery - solved at last!

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  w13 7/15 p. 20 “who really is the faithful and discreet slave?” revealed it was a bunch of guys in new york, back in 1919.. the apostle paul must have been un-inspired when he wrote this back in the 1st century:.

  (1 corinthians 4:1, 2) “a man should regard us [all christians/paul, apollos & peter?

  ] as attendants of christ and stewards of god’s sacred secrets.

  The GB says the light of understanding keeps getting brighter. But I think it's about time someone pointed out that they forgot to turn it on.

  Slimboyfat was not being insulting, he was just persistent in making his point. Evans was being insulting, while also complaining that he was being harassed and that this harassment was affecting him and his wife. His attempts to manipulate others are so over-the-top as to be cartoonish (and insulting to people who really do suffer from mental health issues). One of the things you can say about his ultimate ban- he cannot complain that he did not get ample opportunity to stop being an obnoxious jerk here.

  LMsA: But he had to pontificate about never giving his children false information

  I'll bet his explanation to them about how he spent last Christmas must have been fascinating.

  BluesBrother: it seems that they themselves don’t know when the Spirit is on them or it isn’t,

  Indeed. I wonder how many of their doctrinal changes were the result of indigestion that they mistook for divine intervention.

  Hmmm... if Jesus was God incarnate, I'm not sure I'd want to be known as the guy who snipped the tip of His dick off. Maybe the foreskin shriveled and dropped off eight days after He was born.
