  Do you have / admire Charisma?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw

  "charisma is a certain quality of an individual personality by virtue of which the person is set apart from ordinary people and treated as exceptional".

  as a kid i was afraid of such charisma, as it was usually the quality i noticed elders, head masters, and parents had to exercise with unloving authority over me.. but now i think about it "charisma" doesn't need be only for people with authority.

  " charisma" is something even we can have?

  I'm proud of my humility and very modest about my admirable charisma that oozes from me like a thick secretion.

  I never asked to be this good looking either.

  MacDonalds in Australia also run a charity called Ronald McDonald House. They have entire facilities built so that family's with sick children have somewhere to stay right near the hospital, It is a really great thing.

  meeting with elders about WT involvement in UN

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  i still go to the meetings because of my in wife and it came about that the elders knew of my pissed off attitude about the society getting involved in the un.

  so the elders said they could help me get over that and wanted to meet with me.

  now just to let you know, i have only told my wife and her mom so far about it, that's it.

  I had a meeting with the elders that went much the same way.

  Addressed absolutely none of my concerns, answered no questions and refused to even look at information I tried to present them. One elder turned over a paper I handed him and refused to even look at it, sighting possible apostate sources as the cause for his hysterical reaction to the a4 page.

  I was warned not be critical of Gods org (I was suggesting that 607-1914 was in error), and given numerous WT articles that dealt with doubts and being critical of the Org.

  The whole meeting played out exactly like many on this site said it would, the same way these visits always do. I was asked if I still believed that Jehovah is directing the org and using the slave as his channel on earth today.

  I replied, "Yes, of course I do". Bold faced lie. That meeting was the nail in the coffin. They confirmed that they were all batshit crazy and I left.

  I can vividly recall almost every illustration from the My Book of Bible Porn.

  How harmfull is raising a child on that shit. It's playing Russian roulette with a child's mental health.

  i just received the following link to a video where some claim that jws are pressuring syrian refugees in northern greece to convert.

  fyi, i tried to locate the date of the video, but couldn't, so don't know if it is recent or not.

  In the case of Islamic extremism, JW's could be a chemo for that cancer. Convert from a religion that has a potential to turn people into violent extremist to JW. Then the next step is learning TTATT. Then they are home free.
  

  Brilliant idea, those ISIS warlords would make wonderful elders.

  Andre, a former Isis warlord, tells us how he went from beheading infidels to standing behind a JW.org cart.

  Without knowing that info, I can't really say if the congregations are getting hosed on those price tags.
  

  Well, I'll make a gut call. We are talking about the WTS, so I'd say it's odds on the sheeple will be getting screwed. The OT God likes to mix it up from time to time, when he's done with the killing he becomes 'Jehovah of Price Gouging'.

  Pure speculation, I'm sure they won't benefit financially. After all, they are just a good Ol' fashion religion.

  Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur? Redux

  i am posting a second topic on this subject since the first one became overrun by snakes.. cofty posted a link to a published paper discussing this topic and referred to the information in it as "facts".

  here is my summary of that paper along with comments on it.. one of the opening statements says that:.

  two frequently debated aspects of hominin evolution are the development of upright bipedal stance and reduction in body hair.. so for those who believe this is a stupid topic, it is a subject of interest to many stupid people including the authors of the paper referred to by cofty.

  Even if every scientist on earth was scratching their bald heads and muttering that they don't have a clue why humans lost their body hair it would not impact the fact of evolution one iota.
  

  I know, I am having a hard time following the logic. I am thinking because logic has been omitted from this one.

  What if hairless humans can't be explained.

  Does this mean....Jesus is real?? Buddha or Allah maybe?

  Seems like a god of the gaps argument. Creationist who promote their God using this fallacy still have done nothing and offered no evidence for their beliefs. All of their work is still ahead of them.

  Ssssorry. Sssnake man is back.

  Once creation is ruled out then all sorts of flights of imagination can occur.
  

  The irony in this comment is astounding. Creation myths have never allowed for flights of imagination.
