  Your pulling our leg stuckinarut2 surely you jest ?This surely is not condoned by the WT Organization .

  Probably not condoned specifically by the WT. I have no doubt that it would be viewed positively by millions in the cult.

  Just because something is old, does not mean it is "Special" or "Sacred" or "Valuable"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. bible

  a thought occurred to me that simply because something is old does not make it valuable or worthy of sacred reverence.. the bible is held up as sacred just because it is "old" and apparently preserved.. but, that does not make sense.

  if in thousands of years someone finds a notebook of my scribbles or sketches that i threw away, that doesn't elevate them to "valuable status" simply because they survived.

  they were thrown away because they were worthless.. or if an archaeologist finds an ancient broken bit of pottery that was used for garbage disposal, it doesn't change its status from what it once was - a garbage bin.. i guess what i am trying to ask is, why is it that we as humans give value to writings just because they are old?.

  this latest attack in manchester u.k. targeting a venue attended by mainly children and teenagers who go to a concert by their favorite singer and then to be attacked by a terroist has to be the last straw... surely ?

  22 dead at last count mainly young girls enjoying a concert of their favourite singer ?

  and at least 50 others suffering injuries ?.

  Trump got in primarily because he called out Islam, IMO. Far to many politicians are spineless hacks who refuse to stand up and say it. It's a problem, it's messy and it requires urgent action.

  The world is on the verge of a revolution, it's either that or risk being plunged back into the dark ages for centuries to come. Islam is a good start, but if you are eating bread and wine and believe it to be the body and blood of a dead man from 2000 years ago.... please, lets relentlessly mock this shit for what it is. Get rid of it all.

  This irrational bullshit has no place in modern society....it's so effing stupid. Allah, flying unicorn bullshit.... I am sick of seeing it and hearing it.

  a little girl sat on the edge of a dock in canada, and watched a sea lion who popped his head out of the water to take a look at the tourists.

  seconds later, the sea lion pulled her into the water.

  I'd just like to know what he intended to do with her. Was he going to eat the girl or did he intend to kidnap her, take her to his lair and force her to marry him.
  

  Maybe the sea lion paints water colours and drinks Baileys from a shoe. Love games.

  Has the Bible been redacted so that YAHWEH can be promoted to EL's position as Almighty God?

  by I_love_Jeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for background, read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/yahweh, the section, "iron age i: el, yahweh, and the origins of israel.

  " "el and his sons made up the assembly of the gods, each member of which had a human nation under his care, and a textual variant of deuteronomy 32:8–9 describes the sons of el, including yahweh, each receiving his own people.

  "el, the kind, the compassionate,' 'the creator of creatures,' was the chief of the canaanite gods, and he, not yahweh, was the original 'god of israel'—the word 'israel' is based on the name el rather than yahweh.

  Judaism is not a religion of beliefs. It is one of practice.
  

  Pffft.... this is bullshit, it's playing semantics really. No need to speak Hebrew to recognise this as rubbish.

  What Is Brain Washing?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  i don't think this applies to the watchtower corporation as the beginning this is talking about the more extreme forms.

  but interesting just the same.

  i'm sure we see some of the wt's depictions of death and and destruction(verbal and in pictures) that awaits those not in corporate "jehovah's" favor, a clear uses of inducing maximum fear and stress to make the mind more suggestable to corporate directives.

  Didn't Anthony Morris, when replying to the accusation that JWs are brain washed, describe the JWs as 'brain cleaned'..? His audience was eating it up with a spoon..... terrible.
