  New "Annointed" Brother In My Old Hall...

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i've only just stopped laughing.. in my old hall there's a brother who's now claiming to be of the anointed.. he's 28.. i do wonder if he's doing this for attention, if he's awake and messing with them, or if he really is that deluded.

  when i was in he was an ms. which surprised even me because only a year earlier than that he was "a bit of a lad", is rubbish at talks and relies on his elder uncle to get him out of trouble all the time.. i guess this now means he's get his pick of jw sisters.

  he's been after the same one as the rest of his peers since 2014..

  These "Anointed ones" are going to rule with Jesus Christ in the Heavens for a thousand years right?

  However down here on earth all their allowed to do in the congregations are to vacuum the KH`s and clean the toilets.

  while this interview and book are concerned with donald trump.

  you will be able to see many similarities with watchtower officials.

  That was a very interesting read L.E.and one that highlights some very troubling possible scenarios that could eventuate with Donald Trump as president of the USA .

  While I had doubts as to his suitability to be the leader of the "free world" , when all of these "human failings" are placed end on end , it makes for a compelling case to remove him from office before something we will all regret happens.

  He seems to be obsessed with twitter saying things off the cuff,shooting from the hip,without considering the consequences of his tweets.

  But who am I ,a foreigner and not a US citizen .

  Then of course D.T.is not the only wild card we need to worry about in the world is he.

  The JW Blood Issue: Resolved!

  by loyal2truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i just completed writing a series of 8 blog posts dismantling the watchtower's blood policies.. it was my goal to prove that the blood ban is neither scriptural nor sensible.

  this is a rewrite of the series of articles i contributed some years ago to the now defunct jehovahswitnessblog site of james peyton (you may also know james as the founder of jwpodcast.

  ) even though this is a very serious topic, i tried to stay true to the humorous mood "tenny pajamas" always managed to maintain on his site.

  I just perused your Blog ,Excellent as it may be but 22 pages long ? Dont get me wrong it seems like an excellent site for those wanting to prove to themselves the absurdities of JW`s claiming they are basing this belief on Bible Scripture in refusing Blood Transfusions.

  I am sure many here will benefit from the amount of depth you have gone to with this Blog.

  But it is a helluva lot to wade through on this site ,or is it just me.?

  I take my hat off to you loyal2truth and wish you all the best.

  Can D.Trump Beat the Afghan Hoodoo this Time, and prove the American Empire is Greater than the British Empire?

  by fulltimestudent in

  president trump has decided to wind up the american war against the taliban.

  will he fare better than many before him.. the ny times recently published this group of images ranging from the nineteenth century until now, including this group of british officers (photographed in 1878 in afghanistan) many of whom likely stayed on in afghanistan permanently.. .

  i'm sure a group of modern day invaders would not look very different.

  The Russian State waged ruthless war in Afghanistan, but gave up.

  Isn`t it true that the Americans were training and supplying the Afghans with weapons,technology etc. in their war with the Russians ?

  Wasn`t their a movie about it ? "Charlies War? I think it was called

  Tom Hanks played Charles Wison

  The first thing I would do is put in a plan to eliminate every S.O.B. who did`nt agree with what I am going to do to end once and for all , Religion, War ,Hunger poverty, Sickness ,so everybody could die happy after a couple of hundred years of old age

  And anybody who is`nt with the plan can go to Hell.

  greetings, friends:.

  today, i saw an old friend in town, and, after we got caught up and finally said our goodbyes, she asked me to pray for her.

  family problems were eating her up.. how have you responded if and when you were asked this?

  The person I am today would be sympathetic to the plight such a person is going through however I would explain to them why I dont believe my praying to a mythical God is going to do them any good.

  And if I were able to offer sound advice and suggestions to help them I would,but prayer is not something I believe in anymore.

  Thinking about the end of the Watchtower

  by JeffT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first, a word about the watchtower’s financial position: nobody (outside the watchtower organization) knows.

  the wtbs is not required to disclose its finances, and doesn’t.

  we can speculate, but that is all we are doing.

  The WT religion would probably end up with a lot of "Jimmy Swaggart" type ministries around the world all doing their own thing.

  I wonder how the average JW would respond to this knowledge .?

  How many different versions of Christ Jesus can we present to the world to save all mankind.? According to JW`s ?

  I thought the christian message was simple easy for the common people to understand ,I was obviously wrong if you believe JW`s

  And i thought the GB/ JW`s only spoke with a forked tongue ,how wrong was I .!
