  from this weeks watchtower study:.

  in what sense has jehovah felt regret?.

  on a number of occasions, the bible mentions that jehovah felt regret.

  Now, note something they did! Normally, they would write cited verses as they appear first in the Bible, e.g Gen6:6; Job...; Matt.... Then did you notice they deferred by citing Jonah ahead of Genesis? I immediately felt something was fishy, and it occurred to me: Jonah 3:10 suited their explanation far better than Gen 6:6, in fact, Gen 6:6 contradicts it! Since, they know they cannot convince a rational mind with these illogical explanations, they tend to confuse the ardent Bible reader (and believer) by superceding one verse that supports their opinion over the others putting the readers into a dilemma as "all sriptures is inspired of God". They sure know the power of confusion, tis like a pun we often did in our primary school debates: we always ended with, "I hope with this few words of mine I have been able to convince you than rather confuse you that farmers are better than doctors..." So instead of "than", we'd say "or" and it made a whole lots of things much easier especially when you, the debater does not actually believe that farmers are better than doctors!

  ...Well, God said he felt regret, I guess maybe he's regretting saying so now!!! LOL

  in a recent thread zed is dead commented on lot being a scumbag.. it seems the wbt$ uses these filthy perverts as 'good examples(tm)'.. even when i was in i thought david was a piece of crap.. i vote king david as a lowlife scumbag.

  murderous, adulterous, and treacherous.

  (obviously he was copying that imaginary sky twat = god!!)..

  If the Bible were a character, I'd find him/her very disgusting! Had to get the guy off my library because It was corrupting and bullying the other more useful books!!

  i have not been able to post for a while due to my health issues.

  i am in need of prayers because i am still having problems with diarrhea and very bad stomach cramps every single day that will not go away and my gastro doctor has taken me through stool tests and x-ray tests and cannot find out what is causing the diarrhea at all and i have been crying because the diarrhea is very bothersome.

  i also need some prayers because i really need to know someone that has gone through the rny gastric bypass surgery and has had their gall bladder removed because i have a lot of questions.

  On the subject of the anointed...

  by leaving_quietly in

  i moved this comment from another thread to here as i felt it deserved its own thread.. one thing i've noticed is that the letters from paul often include the phrase "all the holy ones", such as at eph 1:15. some translations render this "all the saints".

  it seems to be differentiating two groups.

  those who are "holy ones" and those who are not.

  Is trying to awaken a JW tantamount to "robbing him of his bliss"??

  last thursday i was propmpted by a recent thread to read the daily text (feb 28, 2013).

  i then had the audacity to send a text message to all four jw's nephews/nieces (in their mid 20's).

  i offered my opinion by summarizing it "put and shut up".

  ok, so, some jws stopped by my apartment today.

  i knew two of the three that came to the door.

  they were all very friendly, no mention was made of our long absence from the kingdom hall, even though hubby is sporting a full beard.. here's what i don't get, i asked after several of their family members and the responses were, "oh, my sister and her husband are now regular pioneers" and "he's a ministerial servant now.

  I know, this isn't earth shattering, what's more surprising is that we were treated better than when we were IN.

  That's because they are only trying to get you back "IN"! Get back and be treated like sheet , sorry, cheap . . . oh sheep! Or maybe to a JC!!

  Now, I wouldn't stop laughing today! Reminds me of my childhood when I'd write copy-cat versions of Awake articles, such nauseous nostalgia! And this wins "Satire Post of the Year" in my mind! And talking about Peep reminds me of another palindrome character "Pirrip". So much great expectations are expected from "God's only earthly organisation", but all they do is just go back and forth with their teachings, like a windvane during a whirlstorm, like a palindrome!

  the year once 1983 and the brother who use to study the bible with me drove by and had a full on "charles manson" looking facial hair and beard.

  i asked tina, a friend what's up with him?

  tina was 19 and a hot red-head woman who was partially in the religion but had problems with fornication.

  I started growing my beard the day I got DFed. And guess what, even my JW girlfriend and my other JW friends that still venture to talk to me said I look more matured, or rugged, and they like it. Actually, more JW girls seem to be fascinated with me, and when no one's looking, would greet and even invite me over to their place! I also noticed almost all youths who left often grow a beard over here. Then, even many JW youths are tending to leave their facial hairs until they are called "to order" by the elders.

  i know this topic has been touched upon from time to time.

  i haven't been on here regularly in many years, but i know what it is like for many; or those that are on their way of exiting the organization.. what songs do you recall or remember during your exodus from the wtbts ??.

  i left mentally in the late autumn of 1983; apparently (i don't know officially...but does it really matter?
