Can someone tell me why Joan's ark and the flood not true and impossible?

by Gokumonkey in

hey everyone.

i have a question and i hope i'm not confusing this with something else i heard.

while watching ex jw videos on youtube many of them talk about how noah's ark and the flood didn't happen and it's impossible.

MrRoboto

I think Google can help you with articles and videos but it can't help you with reasoning.

Unfortunately, almost any objection could be met with an answer of 'but it was a miracle'

Also, some believe that the water is still here in the form of oceans and that the really big mountains and the depths of the oceans are a result of the immense stress created by the massive amounts of water on the ground.

You don't really need facts when you have your blinders on and this is one area where anything can be refuted on whatever grounds you wish - for or against a global flood.

Just my 2 cents

If we just suddenly start talking to DFed people again and use the Canada court video as our argument, what would happen?

by Isambard Crater in

the jw lawyer clearly stated that disfellowshipping only applies to spiritual association, but everyday family contact is ok..

MrRoboto

Incognito, its quite likely that the reason for the distinction is so that people don't try to play word games such as what you have put forward - Oh I didnt lie, I simply did not tell the WHOLE truth. Please see my example above.

This guy lied. By not qualifying his statement, it became a false statement. The fact that he knew it was false and was using it against his opponent (misleading the court) makes it a lie.

I know lawyers are not legally bound to be truthful but this guy lied and if he's a JW, he lied to the world about the bORG and should be D/F for that, especially now that it is somewhat infamous. But the 7 Kings already ruling from Kings Drive won't ever let that happen to their golden gooses.

Attendents sit at the best seats

by Quarterback in

well it's been awhile since i got angry and wanted to post on here again.

last week's watchtower about the subject of love had something to say about the hard working attendants.

it seems that they are choosing to sit in the best seats at the convention.

MrRoboto

Does "Hanlon's Razor" apply to the Governing Body?

by stuckinarut2 in

i recently learned of the term "hanlon's razor".. wikipedia defines it as: .

hanlon's razor is an aphorism expressed in various ways including "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

" it recommends a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for a phenomenon (a philosophical razor).. so could it be said that this applies to the gb / society ?.

MrRoboto

When you consider the various lies that have come out of various GB members as well as helpers (not to mention the GB approved publications), coupled with the many tactics and techniques of propaganda, brainwashing and control, the answer becomes obvious.

Stupidity does not adequately explain what's happening in the org.

"Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by a$$holism"

by supernerdboy in

MrRoboto

supernerd, it's ok, that bread stuff didn't make sense to me either! As far as I know, I'm not aspergerific

If I tell you something but I am actually thinking every other word to myself, am I lying or just omitting some truth?

Consider the following sentence

#1 Jehovah's Witnesses always lie about everything. You can't believe everything they say, ever.

Compare with what I REALLY was saying (bolded words are my own thought words, omitted from verbalization)

#2 Jehovah's Witnesses don't always lie about everything. You can't always believe everything they say.

Now, would I be a lying sack of spit if I were to contend that I didn't mean to mislead you, by telling you the first sentence, and saying that what I really meant was sentence #2?

That guy is a lying sack of spit if he's really a JW and should be D/F'd for lying about "Gods Organization™"

Omission of truth is no defense for lying.

rebuilding JW homes & insurance question

by MrRoboto in

just wondering if anyone can confirm with their own experience, but especially with any kind of documents, as to whether the org really does take insurance money from disaster victims after the rbc / ldc repairs their homes?

and what of non-jws that might get assistance from them?.

this last wt study article for me thinking, what with all that unhypocritical love the org has going on..

MrRoboto

Good to hear they don't take it in India but wow! It's amazing there's anything left for the 150 JWs there after everyone has pulled out what they wanted

Difficulty fading out

by Emily1987 in

jw
friends

this is my first post on here so i apologize that it is like an essay!.

my husband and i are currently 'fading out' of the truth.

we stopped preaching in may 2016 and limited meeting attendance in january 2017 and stopped completely in june 2017. my main reason for this was my whole life i have been doing things to please others, even getting baptized to please my mum.

MrRoboto

It's sh!t like this that leaves me seriously considering D/Aing myself and just letting the chips fall where they may - Ill have a few upset people and potentially serious family problems but at some point the control of the Seven Kings on Kings Drive must end!

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can confirm with their own experience, but especially with any kind of documents, as to whether the org really does take insurance money from disaster victims after the RBC / LDC repairs their homes? And what of non-JWs that might get assistance from them?

This last WT study article for me thinking, what with all that unhypocritical love the org has going on.

Jehovahs Witnesses – Does the Sect’s name really mean for what it is ?

by EverApostate in

the term jehovah’s witnesses sounded weird to me even when i was in that cult.

why does god need witnesses to prove his existence?

there is no need for anyone to create a movement called “suns witnesses” or “moons witnesses” – in order to prove its existence and glorify it, because the sun and moon are evident to every species on earth.

MrRoboto

As with the non-celebration of most holidays and birthdays and many other things, the name was meant to differentiate the group from others claiming to be Christian.

Jehovah is not even a close approximation of the divine name

The 'witnesses' in the source scripture were all Jews and are long since dead.

Religion is a a snare and a racket
