  Ideas to discreetly identify the awoken among us

  by Truthexplorer in

  ok. i know this has been brought up in the past, but i have often wondered who in our halls are awake (for those of us who attend).

  there are some i would consider a 'maybe', but no way of ever really knowing.. so here is my idea.

  i hope it doesn't sound too masonic,.

  Jesus (if he exists) has a heart of stone - a saga about the hurt of children in his church.

  jesus is supposed to care for little children.

  mark 10 is often quoted to illustrate his concern.. mark 10:13-16niv.

  the little children and jesus13 people were bringing little children to jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them.

  It's slightly off topic, but in the ballpark as it has to do with Jesus and children.

  Imagine the suffering of children on a global scale.... to shocking for us to comprehend. Jesus is a witness to it all, chooses to do nothing.

  My child has a severe disability, he attended a large school full of special needs children. I'm talking make your eyes weep special.

  A mother of a 14 year old girl, from my sons school, committed suicide some months ago. This woman couldn't cope anymore, many parents and carers in these situations don't. Jesus sees all this, does nothing.

  I cannot stress this enough. Fuck Jesus. Fuck that fictional mother fucker all the way to hell.

  If you have a band you got to have 3 or 4 drummers and 3 or 4 bass players
  

  That's one hell of band. I have drummed in many bands as the solo drummer, usually with one bass player, never two, and never another drummer except for maybe a little percussion added here or there by the guy with little to do, often the guy on keys or another guitarist. Nearly all the bands I listen to have one drummer and one bass player.

  Debating With Evolution Deniers is Just Like This

  arguing with those who reject scientific evidence can be like arguing about football; just as angry and passionate, but the goalposts keep moving, and one team doesn't exist.. read more here....

  Life comes from existing life. That fact has been proved by science.

  Life spontaneously generates from non-living compounds, organic or inorganic. That fact has not been proved by science. It's an unproven theory. Although a gram stain of faeces is a zoo of bacteria and yeasts, these did not spontaneously generate. They were there in your gut and in the gut of animals to start off with. It is passed on to you by your mother.

  
  

  I understand now. I'm finally getting it!

  Science can't explain how life started, therefore........

  Jesus is REAL!!!

  Every time I see one of them loving their kids, I think....

  every time i see photos of new jw parents cuddling up to their new babies.. every time i see people giving the parents new baby cards & gifts.. every time i see them having fun with their children.. i think to myself; 'you would shun your kids' .

  if they don't end up being jw's.

  if they simply publicly declare that they don't believe.

  Your parents love is conditional as a JW child. You must distribute WT literature.

  It's a sweet deal.

  Now we all have heard how the universe is composed of matter and space. And we always here of how it had a beginning. But really what could have begun it? I'm so over just doing what most scientist do, that is blaming it on dust and gravity. If you insist these two inanimate forces accounted for the universe and the eventual forming of the earth itself, then what caused them to form and hover? Chemists have been searching for the true cause of the universe and some have agreed that the cause it out of the natural realm. Heck, they have also said that the universe looks designed to a large extent.

  The universe's nature is so sequential in making life and any small change in any of these clearly set patterns would destroy life easily. Is the presence of the universe just a matter of a fluke, physical urgency, or even observational phenomena? Is it all really by a freak accident where if just one little thing was different then nothing would exist? All the answers that frequent the minds of scientists and the like strongly fails to give a precise explanation. But if there was a divine being or entity such as God who had a plan and direction, the universe and the earth wouldn't be as perplexing as it is.

  Boring.

  The Governing Body - your thoughts?

  im no medical professional, but i have my own opinions of the gb members.

  i'd be interested to get yours.. no jokes please, im gonna be 100% serious and would like you to be too.. anthony morris iii - narcissist, controlling, possibly psychopath.

  knows full well it's all bullshit but loves the power.. stephen lett - mentally ill, fantasist, liar who genuinely believes the lies he tells.. samuel hird - deluded, likely actually believes he actually is anointed by god.

  It's impossible to watch Stephen Lett on any broadcast, and not be distracted by his annoyance.

  It's been said before but putting these guys on show was a mistake. I am confident that Lett alone, waving his arms, goofing with his eyes and stupid mouth when he addresses his audience like special-ed preschoolers, he could have helped hundreds of people learn TTATT.

  Morris will be the kind to take charge of a splinter group if this shit falls apart while he is still at the helm. Even if he had only a congregation of followers, he would take it, he's the sickest of he bunch.

  Planning ahead for the desires of the flesh.

  i've just booked some cinema tickets for later today and also ordered a book i want to take on holiday.

  from nowhere that scripture they were always quoting at us came to me, something about don't be planning ahead for the desires of the flesh.

  you always had to be planning spiritual, theocratic stuff, entertainment and pleasure were a bit dodgy, better not tell anyone.

  You are probably just feeling guilty about missing so many meetings, what you are describing is the temporary enjoyment of sin.

  More daming evidence against evolution from an expert

  don't worry, i'm taking the piss.

  it's just another jw.org video promoting one of their own who had the benefit of a university education and medical training before they became a witness and letting him try and debunk years of research with an appeal to emotion about the placenta.

  If child birth is the design of God, he is one fucked up creep. That shit isn't worth bragging about, it's horrific. What a useless prick.

  Maybe it's just a traditional style?

  I mean it's basically a glorified cattle trough? yes? - suppose it saves water though

  In Australia we traditionally use puddles that remain from the wet season, this fancy new trough idea is being viewed as a showy display by some.
