  Door-to-door preaching as surveillance

  by john.prestor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i wanted to share some thoughts about jehovah's witnesses and their door-to-door preaching.

  door-to-door preaching is supposedly about gathering converts, but in fact, as we frequently discuss, doesn't actually bring that many "sheep-like ones" in.

  i want to suggest that a second meaning (what we call the latent meaning in academia) is facilitating surveillance of the congregants who attend some congregation.

  When you were still a JW, or if you still are what was one of those wild or crazy thoughts that went though your mind

  by Tameria2001 in

  before i left the organization, i remember having this thought go through my mind, it was not something that i dwelled on too much.

  i was thinking of an interesting way i could get away with something, especially with my anal jw relatives, my brother-in-law was the worst.

  i didn't have this idea pop in my head until after i had moved into a duplex, and then it went off like a light bulb.

  I had a fantasy that I was adopted, and when my "real" parents found out that I was getting no Christmas, birthdays or other holidays and all the other weird shit that goes with being a JW child, my "real" parents would come and take me back, they would apologize to me and say they gave me up because they were just too young.

  Lucky Pommies - New exhibition at the British Museum - "I am Ashurbanipal: King of the World

  in case your puzzled, pommie is an old australian slang word for an english person.

  but that aside, the major point is this exciting exhibition at the british museum.. here's their description of it.. step into the world of ashurbanipal – one of history’s greatest forgotten kings – in our major new exhibition.

  ashurbanipal has been given other names (in case you asked).

  crazy people shoot up places and kill people.

  take away guns and they will find knives, poison, bombs , etc.. seriously, there are a lot of mentally unhealthy people!

  they need professional long term help..

  How many Witnesses would drink the cool aid at a "Jonestown?"

  by Witness 007 in

  2. bible

  so my mum died from mild form of lukemia which can simply be treated with a blood transfusion each month.

  to me this was a watchtower assisted suicide.

  the liaison elder encouraged her to "stay strong" and said a prayer.

  I don't think my mom would. She has a lot of cognitive dissonance. Plus me hammering at some of their lunacy. 😄

  Where do Christians,Muslims and Jews think/believe Heaven is ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in this 21st century with so many nations involved in space exploration sending satellite`s out into the far reaching` s of the universe and none have detected anything resembling what could be described as a heaven ,i`m just wondering how these 3 major religions that base their beliefs on sections of the bible would/could answer this question.?.

  not only have these many satellites been deployed to various parts of our solar system but at least a couple have even ventured out of our solar system into deep space .. and none have encountered a heaven of any description.. your thoughts ?.
