Smiddy3: When Adam & Eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely God could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?
He could have forgiven them.

The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".
by smiddy3 ini`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.
2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.
4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

LMsA: He promised a lot at 82 patrons or $750 a month
It's not even a lot, when you think about it. Do some research, produce 200 or so minutes of usable content each month, and split it into ten videos. A week of work (if that) for a living wage. And he grew way past that. He had it made.
He'd be living the good life if not for his lack of mastery over his penis. And then some Thai "girl" told him that she could help "straighten out" the issue, and let's just say that Google translate doesn't always get it right...

KIMSILVIO: What happens if no one is left at the end?
Hmmm. What if he is so desperate to spite us that he is encouraging his patrons to leave, just so that no one will win the pool?

Looks like 20 or more, again. The consistency of the drop each month is amazing.

Who the JW's governing body USED to be! 😂😂😂😂
by BoogerMan inw50 1/1 pp.
10-11 par.
2 - the watch tower bible & tract society, the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses,... .

Same here. We understood that the governing body was the faithful and discreet slave and all of that, but "the society" was the catch-all phrase. Everyone knew what was meant when someone said that "the society says this/that."

If I am not mistaken, the subsidies were upwards of $2 million per year. A pretty significant outlay for a relatively small religious denomination. If that number is correct, I can see why they'd be upset at losing their registration. I wonder if it is legal for them to funnel that money back to the HQ in the USA? Two million buys a lot of booze.

Joanie the Jehovah (sic) Witness Stripper
by Mum inon youtube, type "joanie the jehovah witness stripper" in the search bar.
several versions of the song will appear.
it's hilarious, and, apparently, based on a real life jw who was a neighbor of the song's writer..

ExB: They obviously got disfellowshipped but then they were posing with the revelation book showing it’s ‘grand climax at hand’
Now that made me LoL.

I won't harass the guy, it isn't something that would even cross my mind.
But I think that a good idea would be for anyone whose lives were affected adversely by WTS policies and practices to write him a polite and heartfelt letter, letting him know of their suffering.

Conscience Issues
by NotFormer inthought inspired by my post on tattoos: within the watchtower organisation, how many "conscience issues" actually are?
are people who actually do exercise their consciences in grey areas painting a target on their backs for the more hard-line dubs?
are they quietly avoided because " bad associations spoil useful habits"?

I don't think alcohol is a conscience matter. I think they're pretty clear on the guidance: it's okay to drink alcohol. It's not okay to get drunk.
Now, smoking is a firm no, as far as I understand.
I thought that there was a time when some of the blood issues were left to the individual's conscience? Not full blood transfusions, but fractions, like for hemophiliacs?
In CoC, Ray Franz mentioned the issues they had with trying to regulate intimacy for married couples. It became such a mess that they finally just relegated it to a conscience matter.
