  If you're "anointed" don't seek out other "anointed" so says the Watchtower January 2020

  by RolRod in

  when i was affiliated with the witnesses, there were barely 6,000 who profess to be of the anointed remnant.

  i recently read somewhere that today there are over 20,000 who profess to be anointed.

  that figure may be more when you consider those who meet and partake privately for fear of the stigma of claiming to be anointed.

  They have to mention this because some of the more deluded anointed have done exactly that, sort out other anointed ones like they’re special and try to stir some shit, they even had a website.

  It’s very common for JWs to ride motor bikes in my area, plenty of MS bro’s even a few of the elders would ride. You would actually be hard pressed to find a congregation that didn’t have at least a few owner/riders in my area. Virtually every second person rides a dirt bike

  I had an awake mag on my front lawn, not in my letterbox or at the door but actually on the lawn grass. I noticed the house across the road also had a JW rag in their front yard.

  Do they just throw them out of car windows now and let the angels do the rest?

  What really stood out is the decline magazine standards, it’s honestly difficult to even call it a magazine nowadays

  the review entitled “review of the commission’s investigation into jehovah’s witnesses and its ensuing reports” was divided into four parts, as follows:.

  part one considered the history and powers of royal commissions in general.. .

  This is donated money being spent on the educated worldly, just because these lawyers are already extremely wealthy means nothing, their legal opinion comes at a cost which is usually eye watering. The WT by it’s own admission shouldn’t have this money to spare.

  There is no moral high ground and barely a legal foot to stand on but the sick and sad old WTS is digging its heels.

  I find it repugnant on many levels. The WT could join the redress scheme but would rather pay lawyers then compensate victims.

  the daily wire.

  facebook glitch reveals father, activist behind greta thunberg's facebook .... i'm not good at getting links right.

  but this is interesting in light of greta supposedly doing things on her own according to dear old dad.

  She’s so far out of her depth she’s embarrassing herself.

  Meanwhile real environmental scientists, who may have worked decades prior to Greta even being born, get little recognition.

  Sailing the the worlds oceans, tweeting hate at airline passengers and mineworkers isn’t admirable, just really silly.

  How Do You Think Eco Terrorists Should Be Dealt With?

  recently, some activists decided to interrupt a train that was delivering coal.

  police were called and 10 hours later the activists were dispersed.

  it’s not unusual now to see picketers close down a bridge or a street for “climate change “.

  Make them actually live within the bounds of their beliefs. No plastics, no medicines except local herbs, keep the cow in the house for heat, no fresh food in wjnter, walk, outhouse
  

  I agree, they have no idea. Crazy vegan climate wackos screaming for an end to coal mining on our streets. We use coal to make steel among many things, it doesn’t get burned for fun.

  Try growing enough food for a small community and see how it goes without plastics. The amount of plastic needed in agricultural might surprise Greta, perhaps we should we ban agricultural products, the strawberries grown in my state require vast acres of plastic to cover the ground, they need large plastic tanks for herbicides and pesticides.

  This is why I’m no longer eating fruits, vegetables, grains, no meat, dairy or nuts, just insects from outside my carbon neutral mud igloo.

  They are the group of Christians that Jehovah is using to accomplish His will on earth in this time of the end.
  

  A cultish group, the most devout members display serious delusions of grandeur.

  So sick is the attitude that some JWs will associate with apostates, frequenting apostate platforms such as forums and seeking to engage with them, even though this is in direct contradiction to the teachings they claim to follow!

  The delusions of divine favour run so strong, this especially applies to the devout nutter types.

  Science and Watchtower's astounding ignorance

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower

  well these goof balls at jwbroadcast apparently think the study of pure science means not having any "practical application".

  oi vey.

  sanderson may speak russian but he is so ill educated he appears to think that researching a subject and formulating a theory about it means that's the end of it - in other words he's saying it has no practical use.

  It’s science that’s allowed him to spew this message so effectively to his audience, who will miss the irony entirely.

  Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

  by minimus in

  as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

  i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

  it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

  I think a good work ethic is all that.

  Higher education is beyond some people for many reasons, working hard we can all do and only good comes from it.

  If a competition was run where thousands of preschool age children designed a car, and the winner of the competition was judged by a 3 year old boy, you’d probably have the Elon Musk truck.

  The kids would love smashing windows at the big reveal.
