Does The Governing Body Have Any Idea Of How Delusional They Look To The Educated World? Is That The Reason They Are So Against Getting A College Education?

by frankiespeakin in

For many years the Watchtower Society have tried to make young minds believe that it is the will of God himself that they abandon all ambition, or higher education, or a career, in favour of promoting their beliefs. Notice the dates on these quotes:

As you think about your future, no doubt questions run through your mind. Should I go to university and seek a career as a doctor, a lawyer, or a scientist? Does the dream of climbing the corporate ladder to financial success and recognition intrigue me? Would I become a famous name in the arts through acting or painting? Or, as a youth devoted to Jehovah god, should I choose the full-time ministry as my career…? Youths how will you use your future? For yourself or fully for Jehovah? Prayerfully consider the goal of full-time service now in your youth. Imitate Jesus by living the rest of your life ‘for God’s will.’ It will prove to be a protection from harmful worldly ambitions, careers and associations. Analyse your circumstances and set a specific date as your goal for entering full-time service. Work towards it. Pray for Jehovah’s help to attain it.

The Watchtower 15 April 1986 - pages 28-30

Remember, too, that ‘the time left is reduced.’ (1 Corinthians 7:29) How much time will you devote to such education? Will it consume the bulk of your youthful years? If so, how will you apply the Bible's encouragement to ‘remember, now, your Grand Creator in the days of your young manhood’?

The Watchtower 1 Sept.1999 Youths -Train Your Perceptive Powers!

But there is danger in encouraging them to take up a life style centred on education and financial security instead of true worship.... Plans for a life that subordinates spirituality to worldly goals can snuff out a young person’s desire to serve God.

The Watchtower 15 June 2011 - page 6

The World is going to end...

by The Quiet One in

jw
friends

..one day, as will our lives.

any day could be the last day of our existence... with that in mind, how would you want to spend your final hours, if you knew that your life was going to end tomorrow?

what would you like to say on that last day, and to whom?.

THE GLADIATOR

The Quiet One Don’t know how you missed it but the world did end. You are living an illusion. This is all a dream. Close your eyes and you are seeing reality. Open them and you are back in the dream. If this doesn’t work for you then invent a reality that does. It’s all a trick of the mind. Mind it’s all a trick.

For those claiming to be Christ: you are not! I am

for those claiming to be the biblical christ-messiah, you are wrong.

i am the christ!

and, i can prove it.. ----.

THE GLADIATOR

Shirley you’ll think I’m strange but I don't want to be the Messiah, never have.

I want to be Caesar and sit in the royal podium at the games.

Alas I have come to earth as a gladiator to learn humility and keep the lions away from Christians.

Ah Shirley - it was subtracting your grandmother's shoe size from 485 BCE and adding 20 years that convinced me you are the messiah. You see no one can fake their shoe size! And you talk to me as does Lars - it doesn't get better - unless there is a third contender for the throne?

Thinking of having revenge on the jw girl

by spirituk in

hello again, following my story with this girl , and after she blocked me on fb and not answering my phone calls since december , i am now thinking of taking revenge.my feelings of pain are starting to become hate ,and pain always is accompanied by the feeling of revenge to satisfy this bad feeling.i just cant simply forget what shes done to me.

the reasons of my revenge :.

1.she played with my feelings when she knew from the start that she would leave me one day.

THE GLADIATOR

Cagefighter "Spirituk - You are trying to control her, she is a woman and she is going to do what every she wants to do..."

Wise words. If there is one thing I have have learnt about women, it's that you can't control them. Trying to control them just makes them more stubborn.

I have surrendered to mine and now just lick her feet as I scrub the floor. Anything for a peaceful life.

Does The Governing Body Fear Worldwide Exposure Of Their Delusional Bible Interpetations?

by frankiespeakin in

i think in the deeper recesses of their minds they know that soon they will be loosing this battle and that some video on youtube will go viral bringing them shame and exposure.. the way i see it, this battle is just starting and is going to get much worse in the future, they are multiplying the number of people willing to expose them by their cruel practice of disfellowshipping used as a form of information control.. people who are waking up to the governing body's deceptions are growing in numbers all the time, and what starts out as a trickle of people leaving can become a flood in time which seems very likely.

as the numbers become greater and greater the more worried they should be, and this is seen in their more merciless treatment of those who no longer beleive their crap, they are willing to do what ever it takes to keep the rank and file in darkness and under their control.

it all spells desparation to me.. .

THE GLADIATOR

frankiespeakin I like the way you tell it.

Lets hope the whole house of cards collapses on the Jokers.

INTELLECTUAL HONESTY....what is it?

by Terry in

freud said:.

"if it were really a matter of indifference what we belive, then we might just as well build our bridges of cardboard as of stone, or inject a tenth of a gram of morphine into a patient instead of a hundredth, or take teargas as a narcotic instead of ether; but the intellectual anarchists themselves would strongly repudiate any such practical applications of their theory.".

intellectual honesty requires a match between the real world; the practical world where things either work or do not work at all.....and the state of mind inside your head.. .

Looks to me like you’ve found the dream Nancy.
