Unacknowledged!

by Awakenednow in

so...i watched the new netflix movie, "uncknowledged" by dr steven greer today fierce hearing to dj's discussing it on the radio, minds blown.

it makes a strong case for ufo's and totally screws up jw doctrine about the earth having the only intelligent life in the universe, as it is where the issue of universal sovereignty is played out and decided....the gb will need to do some fast talking.

it will be fascinating to blow some jw minds with this.

Just to clarify my post Awakenednow my thoughts/opinion was about Dr Steven Greer and not whether or not alien life forms exist .

I have Netflix so I must avail myself to watch it and comment again after I have seen it.

When I was about 16 years old a group of friends witnessed strange sightings and wired manoeu`vre`s in the night sky that repeated itself 3 times ,one such older person sought to find out if the Airforce had planes over the area on the night in question and the answer was no.

And their was also another unexplained sighting two of us witnessed some years before.

????

Just saying

The Dub At My Door (is back for Return Visit)

by TerryWalstrom in

the dub at my door ___________________i’d rather have a root canal than agree to a sit down with an active jehovah’s witness.i’m an ex-jw.

for good reason.

fool me once....i’m an activist and an author of a book or two exposing and vilifying the destructive jw cult organization.yet i agreed.

That was a very interesting dialogue you had with Earl

My bet is if he does come back it will be with the stock answer :

"Even if their are no original texts still available Jehovah will have made sure that the texts that are available will be the same as the originals. He will make sure of that .After all he is GOD."

How do you argue with that logic.?

Does anyone under the age of 25 know what KFC stands for? (What about WT or JW?)

by stuckinarut2 in

as we have seen, the society has so smoothly rolled out the rebranding of the organization in just a few short years!.

(in fact, i remember a thread post here a few years back, where it was mentioned that all halls are going to get the jw.org signs on them.

it was initially laughed off and doubted) https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/279409/jw-org-signs-put-on-all-kingdom-halls-new-directive.

My kids and their cousins get called by their abbreviated names such as Ja,Da,A,Ra,and beH,and Jo .

An uncle started it and it just caught on with the rest of the family.

I think you can take Dr Steven Greer with a grain or two of salt.He`s been around for many years with his UFO exposures one dealing with a miniature alien.

And a couple of years ago their was to be according to him a worldwide exposure /disclosure of Alien life in the Universe

So far it hasnt occured ( think Armageddon being just around the corner )

Personally I think he`s just another guy cashing in on the peoples belief in other world civilizations .

For the record I personally do not think we are the only life forms in the Universe however I dont make money out of promoting that personal belief.

A lot of his followers have alien watchers where they go out in small groups in the countryside and meditate and chant and then have these "experiences" of cold feelings "aliens fleetingly off in the distance and breezes of the wind.,lights in the sky and so forth.

I have a close relative who led some of these excursions and doesnt do so now.

Make that out of what you will

Funniest or strangest thing to happen to you when knocking on a door

by usualusername1 in

jw
friends

what is the funniest or strangest thing to happen to you or your partner when knocking on doors?.

mine was seeing a greenhouse with mannequins inside.

scary...paul.

I knocked on the door and this curvy young woman just poked her head around the door ,I tried to keep her their as long as I could because behind her was a cupboard with a full length mirror and she was standing their naked.

Another time was when a guy answered the door in his open dressing gown and was naked underneath it,I just politely said we`d call back another time.

lastly I was doing rural territory in mid western Victoria Aust. when we were approaching a property when the farmer called out not to come any closer because of an infectious disease on site . I responded never mind we will be alright and kept on going ,he then said if you come any closer I`ll shoot you.

Tha`ts the last time I ever believed country people were very hospitable.

The Bible a wierd book.

by James Mixon in

some events in the bible can be questionable but there are some stories the rings of truth, and why do i say that because they are so descriptive.

judges 3:22 "ehud an israelite judge, goes to the king of the moabites to pay annual tribute.

instead, he pulls out a dagger and stabs the sh--t out of the king while he is bathing, he literal caused the sh--t to flow and the dagger disappeared in the folds of the king's skin.

I think Richard Dawkins shouldn`t hold back on what he thinks of GOD and come right out and tell us what he really thinks of him.

However I tend to agree with what he stated in his book.

Why not describe the period that Jonah spent in the belly of the fish, did it smell, did the fish take you to other land, did you happen to meet others in your stay and did you ever eat fish after your ride..

Jonah spent 3 days in the belly of the whale right ? how many times did he have to take a piss , or a crap for that matter ,did he drink fresh water while their ?, where did that come from ,? and what did he eat.?

Another one

The story of Samson has to be a fictional story too does`it ? A man who gets his strength from the length of his hair ? JW`s frown on brothers who have long hair.!

Samson gets 300 foxes and takes torches tale to tale and sets them alight and sent them out into the fields of the philistines

To burn their fields down .

The logistics of getting 300 foxes from miles around and then getting them to sit quietly while you tie their tales together and then set fire to them (remember we are talking about 300 foxes from miles around ) and then set them off into the fields of the philistines.

Watchtower Ironically Warns It's Memeber About "Propaganda" - Watchtower July 2017

by pale.emperor in

https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-july-2017/propaganda-winning-battle-for-your-mind/.

in what is just the height of irony, watchtower warns us about propaganda, and accepting everything we hear/read.

yes, we should ignore those that try to stop us thinking critically as this watchtower article will now teach us.

It is articles like this in the WT and other publications of the WTB&TS that convince me the Governing Body members know without doubt that they are deceiving and manipulating their own people brothers and sisters to keep their organisation going and their own positions in the organisation.

Individuals may not have started out that way ,but ego , position ,authority ,power ,all have an influence in maintaining the status quo of their position.
