Cult Leader Thinks He’s Jesus
by Jules Saturn ini was sent this video and don’t know if anyone was aware of it or if this has been posted before but in russia there is a religion known as vissarion’s church of the last testament where their leader who was formerly known as sergey anatolyevitch torop who goes by vissarion believes he is the messiah.
according to the video, there are 5,000 followers worldwide with 2,000 followers actually living on site with vissarion.
i found it pretty odd but very interesting and wanted to share it on here.

Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution
by dubstepped inso i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.
i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

As I have posted on another thread every living thing on this planet whether in the sea on the land or in the air keeps alive by devouring another living thing.And has done so since the beginning of time .
I can`t see a loving Almighty Creator being responsible for that ,so I guess evolution makes much more sense .
Jehovah`s Witnesses who blame Satan for this situation undermine their God whom they believe in .
If they believe Satan is the cause of this situation then obviously he is more powerful than their God who they worship.
For all JW`s who believe God is going to rectify things in his own due time ,I ask you to send me 10$ and I will make you a millionaire in the not too distant future ,your million$ is not far away it`s just around the corner just send me your 10$ and I will make you a millionaire ,it`s imminent.

Since leaving the JW Organization, who is believing?

I am another one who took some time before I went from a true believer to an agnostic and now an atheist .
And it has been sites like this one that pointed me in the direction to research other material for and against the inspiration of the Bible from an Almighty God.
Over a number of years.
I weighed it all in the balance and found the Bible wanting
.I have now been out 25 years.
God and the Bible ? No way
Some higher intelligence that planted the seeds of life on this planet ? and left it to its own without interference ?who knows .
the jury is still out on that one.
One fact that I have learned is that every living thing on this planet whether it is under the sea on the land or in the air ,it only survives by devouring another living thing .And it has always done so.
Does that sound like a loving caring Creator to you ?

Whenever anyone claims to speak to you in the Name of GOD,simply reject them as Charlatans
by smiddy3 inall of the names attributed to the almighty god are nothing more than the inventions and imaginations of imperfect human beings.. their are only four hebrew letters that are attributed to god in the hebrew scriptures known as the tetragrammaton usually translated as jhvh or more accurately yhwh .. their is no tetragrammaton or it`s equivalent in the christian greek scriptures which can easily be attested to by looking at the kingdom interlinear of the christian greek scriptures of the new testament published by the wtb&ts a word for word translation of the greek text.. anything other than that is an addition of imperfect humans to put a name to those letters and not one that the creator has endorsed or verified with his stamp of approval to this day.. the wtb&ts published "aid to bible understanding" in their first edition they said words to the effect that the name jehovah was the most commonly used in christendom/the world ,so that was the name they adopted.. { it had nothing to do with divine revelation or a voice from god or holy spirit it was because it was the most popular use of that name in christendom }.

All of the names attributed to the Almighty God are nothing more than the inventions and imaginations of imperfect human beings.
Their are only four Hebrew letters that are attributed to GOD in the Hebrew Scriptures known as the Tetragrammaton usually translated as JHVH or more accurately YHWH .
Their is no Tetragrammaton or it`s equivalent in the Christian Greek scriptures which can easily be attested to by looking at the Kingdom Interlinear Of The Christian Greek Scriptures Of The New Testament published by the WTB&TS a word for word translation of the Greek Text.
Anything other than that is an addition of imperfect humans to put a name to those letters and not one that the Creator has endorsed or verified with his stamp of approval to this day.
The WTB&TS published "Aid to Bible Understanding" in their first edition they said words to the effect that the name Jehovah was the most commonly used in Christendom/the World ,so that was the name they adopted.
{ It had nothing to do with divine revelation or a voice from God or Holy Spirit it was because it was the most popular use of that name in Christendom }

New Letter: Announcements and Reminders
by Brian J inletter dated 1/1/2018.
i know they are trying to simplify but it all is such a confusing mess.... forms, dates, calculators, committees, logins, publisher record cards.....jesus would barf.
to all bodies of elders re: announcements and reminders dear brothers: in an effort to reduce the number of letters sent to all bodies of elders and congregations, most announcements from the branch office will now be conveyed to congregations by means of the announcements and reminders (s-147) form.

The first part of the form will contain information for the elders only. If there are announcements for the congregation, these will appear on a separate page of the form. Instructions on the form will indicate which announcements are to be read to the congregation and/or posted on the information board when applicable
When i was first contacted 59 years ago now ,it was emphasized that their is/was no Clergy laity class among Jehovah`s Witnesses .
It was obviously a lie then as it is now.
{Note : They do claim Clergy /Laity Penitent in a court of law don`t they }
"The rank and file of Jehovah`s Witnesses are like mushrooms keep them in the dark and feed them bullshit" .
