hey folks, .

it’s been a long time since i’ve posted, good to see the forum well attended & spicy as ever.

Mom's breast feeding should be banned by JW's based on their blood policy. So Medical Professionals who are JW's should be held to that standard as well.

by HiddenPimo in

i am amazed at how long i turned a blind eye to bible accounts such as the ones found in the article here - .

The 10 worst Old Testament verses by Dan Barker

My favorite part of this article is the quote found at the end of the article -

A.A. Milne, author of Winnie the Pooh, said: "The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief — call it what you will — than any book ever written; it has emptied more churches than all the counter-attractions of cinema, motor bicycle and golf course."

What is the cover all answer for all of these accounts?

We don't know why these things occurred, however, we can be sure that those who were destroyed were judged worthy of that fate by Jehovah who can read hearts and the others that were collateral damage, well the resurrection hope will fix that.

I am not saying that there are not bits and pieces of good advice in the Bible that make for better humans when followed, however, what I am saying is that this picture sums up the reality of things...

Are Christians to be Witnesses of Jesus or Jehovah?

by blondie in

i was doing research on another topic and this question came to mind.

notice how the wts dances around the question below and then my comments about that and whether historically did the wts see isaiah as applying to all jws or only anointed members, spiritual israel (galatians 6:16)?.

are christians to be witnesses of jesus or jehovah?.

HiddenPimo

I think it is because people would have a hard time saying Jesus' Witnesses or Jesus's, and would be saying Jesuseeze's Witnesses...

That whole apostrophes for possession is a tough doctrine to overcome...

Has anyone on here used this forum to announce they were out and revealed their real name?

by HiddenPimo in

just wondering if anyone has ever posted their personal information and have proof that the borg is watching and sent the gestapo to get them?.

i will be announcing my resignation and da myself - and i am objectively looking at either doing it bud dwyer (not really like him but by extension) style at a meeting or an email blast or just giving a letter to the boe?.

any advice is appreciated.

Very well said Afterburn

Fundamental Memorial Scripture

by The Fall Guy in

the talk outline issued the usual warning - only those mentioned in revelation 14:1 are allowed to partake of the bread & wine.. revelation 14:1 - then i saw, and look!

the lamb standing on mount zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his father written on their foreheads.

for active/fading jw's - did your bible reasoning/logic/instincts tell you that the following interpretation makes sense, or did you simply surrender your thinking abilities to others who claimed to be better informed than you?.

HiddenPimo

The memorial is so ritualistic that no one even thinks during the talk they just sit and zone out. Nobody stops and thinks about anything anymore and those that do are afraid to say anything about it due to fear.

EVERYONE is exhausted from the routine of meetings and I have yet to hear someone upset about a cancelled meeting.

Have the memorial and Circuit Assembly in same month! 2 weeks of no meetings - everyone is so ecstati.

Review: revised Elder's manual, part 4 (final part)

by neat blue dog in

here's the cruel, uncomfortable and dehumanizing description of transport for disfellowshipped ones:.

in cases of real need, the elders can determine wheth-er some assistance may be provided.

such assistance would be viewed as similar to public transportation in that there should be no conversing with the disfellowshipped or disassociated person.
