  Could the JWs sway you back...?

  by new22day in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  op based on mr. freeze's topic - could attending the meetings/studying again sway any of you back to the org.

  hearing the propaganda over and over again is pretty powerful i'm sure.

  (i'm a non-jw, non-christian (no offense), stubborn as a bull and even i had moments of pause based on some of the doctrine (lasted 30 seconds) but i never had family/friends at stake or a background in this.

  mP >>I cant remember where but i seem to recall reading somewhere that ancient peples occcasionally found dinosaurs and from that their imagination expanded them into deamons and dragons.

  Whatever you read was horseshit.

  Dinosaurs died out around 65 million years ago. Modern humans have only been around for less than 1 million years. Humans and dinosaurs were separated by more than 60 million years. They have NEVER co-existed.

  This is basic high school biology.

  Rob Stark was King of the North briefly. Then he thought it'd be a good idea to get married.

  Now it's Stannis Baratheon. But at last report he was stuck in a blizzard somewhere near Winterfell.

  Winter is coming.

  One baptism...

  by NeverKnew in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just realized, i have to explain the joke so you guys will get it.

  in some churches, communion is open to anyone who has been baptised regardless of denomination or church affiliation at baptism.

  so, even though one may be confirmed or baptised at one church, it can be acceptable to go to another church and receive communion.

  So when this year passes and the end doesn't come, will you admit that you just made it all up?

  Why do they assume they were anointed?

  by Sheep2slaughter in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am well aware that this thread could diverge into a discussion of the legitimacy of the watchtowers view of heavenly class and earthly class and what not.

  ... but that's not the thrust of my question.

  i just replied to a thread about going to memorial and started thinking how after jesus started out no one talked about actually doing it after the initial time.

  They think they are anointed because they are "mentally diseased" (tm).

  Brilliant and Funny - The Book of Mormon

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  about 15 of 'us' - all but one a former jw, and most either familiar with this board or currently posters here - attended the play in the chicago theater district last night.

  what a hoot!

  according to the geniuses [the same guys who did south park] who were behind the production, it targetted mormons on the way to poking fun at all religious delusion.. it was a great play, great actors, and wonderful props.

  I saw it in New York a couple of months ago. I laughed the whole way through.

  It's got a special resonance for (ex)JWs. And the songs are just great!
