  peace to you!.

  this thread is about false things (some) atheists think theists believe.

  this is not a thread about false things that atheists think about theists.

  It's a wonder you don't choke on all this crap you talk. Honestly, it's painful to read.

  It goes something like this, " God does bad in the OT?? This cannot be true, Christ taught me otherwise, he is my personal tutor. "

  Sighhhhhhhh, the Draw Close to Jehovah book again for the Congregation Bible Study.

  by Stand for Pure Worship in

  check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".

  i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.

  at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.

  What do you expect? A new 174 page book detailing how the octopope is now the F&DS?

  It doesn't matter what meeting, convention or 'special' talk it is, it is always the same crap.

  Reheat it. Stir it. Serve it.

  Prepare for meetings??

  by Jen1 in

  do you prepare for meetings?

  if i go i spend a few minutes underlinging my books/watchtower.. i have noticed that those who do the micks especially notice when your stuff is not underlined, and comments are made after the meeting, not so gentle hints, about study and preperation!

  in other words i am being told off, its usually the ones who are highly critical of everything i do, sometimes their whole family seems to be straining to see if my stuff is underlined, i know this because i heard the daughter to family wisper her watchtower is not underlined!.

  The resident window cleaning MS stumbles his way through a paragraph in a monotone.

  A strikingly obvious question is asked and then 4 different people give the same damn answer in slightly different terms, which is then followed by the study conductor repeating the already much repeated answers to make sure we all get the point.

  They want everyone to prepare for this? Bash me over the head with something, that would be the perfect preparation.

  How good was that today. Bailey hitting 28 runs in one over off Jimmy Anderson. That first ball from Ryan Harris that bowled Cook was an absolute Jaffa.

  What did Ian Botham predict? 5-0 series to England? Nice one.

  Is there an official name for this comedic device?

  by Island Man in

  is there an official name for the comedic device where one replaces one word with another word having a similar pronounciation but a different (usually derisive) meaning?.

  for example, some skeptics deride the bible by spelling it "buy-bull".

  same or simliar pronounciation but entirely different meaning.

  Nice.

  I believe the song was originally Bob Dylans. That self titled RATM album was all covers.

  okay, the smoke has cleared.

  everyone's dead who had it coming and the remainder find that their bodies have been changed.

  no more disease, no more aging, no more human weaknesses and the weather is perfect.

  Fruit platters as far as the eye can see. They will need to appoint people over said platters and have spiritually mature bros take the lead in distributing the fruit.

  Eagle vs Shark. It's a New Zealand film. I thought it was pretty funny, it is definently odd.

  The murmuring phase is the beginning of an ex-JWs progression towards fading.

  by Stand for Pure Worship in

  i suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.

  i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.

  (rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.

  "Modified truths" is good, but here are some of my favorite expressions that the WTS has used in describing the false things they use to teach as truth....

  "past truths"

  "cherished errors"

  "formerly cherished views"

  "an expressed opinion"

  So to use another WT expression, you could say "The Truth" = "inaccurate concepts".

  What can I say, I am just not humble enough to accept "The Truth".
