  Out on Facebook

  2. experiences

  i am just venting because my sister has put on facebook that i am no longer "in the truth"!

  i have kept a very low profile for years and have silently faded.

  many witnesses i have bumped into are very friendly towards me, some from other congregations may not even be aware that i dont go anymore.

  Commercial activism.

  by Ben131895 in

  1. jw

  in his last couple of vlogs, john cedars is wearing a t-shirt saying shunned.

  some people liked it and asked him if they could purchase one.. in his last vlog (#111) he is advertising it and mentioned the link www.apostee.com, based in the us.

  comments attached to vlog # 110 mentioned the fact that this company will close in april and that the business will be continued by cedars itself, who has also a stock of anti-witness items.. besides that, he was not the owner of jwsurvey.org, but since january 16, 2016 he is.. it looks (as mentioned before by simon in an earlier thread), this guy is making a living from his activism, a paid career.. one should seriously question his true motives, demonstrated in his activism.

  I care more about his treatment of ppl. Pushing a t-shirt is the least of the issues with this guy.

  I have no issue with these guys doing this. If it helps them cope I'm fine with it.

  That said this sort of display accomplishes the exact opposite of what they're trying to achieve unfortunately.

  But in general I can see how this would be a convenient claim for theists - they think it's an explanation for "why do terrible things happen in the world". Of course it still leaves a supposedly omnipotent, omniscient and loving god allowing it to happen and at the same time people who credit god with "good things" ... why can he make some things happen but not others?

  Boom this is the very reason why I was asking. I thought wow how convenient.

  LOL@ whomever gave me a down vote. That's funny. I couldn't have been more detailed or accurate as to why the Whack-tower is misapplying this text.

  FYI I didn't mean delete it, meant enough stroking this bozo's ego with faltering him with responses. Personally find little value in entertaining those who refuse to examine the whole picture. Let them live in denial.
