The WTB&TS promises that are unreliable and changable
june 1, 2001 watchtower.. whose standards can you trust?.
on the cover page it features a preacher holding a bible in his left hand and a chain with a cross pendant around his neck, a woman campaiging for an election, and a woman in the supermarket examining produce.. the words can you trust as you can see are in red for emphasis.. page four.
a lesson from the law.

The WTB&TS promises that are unreliable and changable
well i took the little crumb-snatcher for a ride in the stroller this morning.
usually i meander over by the college with all of its big, shady trees.. well, satan himself musta been with me this morning cause i got a hankering for a donut!
i eat maybe 4 donuts a year, not my thing..... anyhow, i decide to turn for the donut shop where i choose my sin, an eclair covered in chocolate..... i turn to look at the little stack of reading material and what do i see?.
Doesn't anyone here believe in recycling?
I mean, it could end up as toilet paper. It would be nice to know that for every 1% or 2% of the toilet paper I use to wipe my ass, consisted of something from the WTB&TS.
That way, I feel I'm giving something back, not once, but twice over.
what is your favorite verse of song?.
what bands do you like?.
what are some of your all time favorite song?.
“Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.” Kind of has that ring of hypocrisy that I enjoy seeing on these threads so much.
today, i went to church!
it is the first time in my life i ever set foot inside a place of worship for service, other than that of my former kingdom hall.
today i got up around 7:30 aware of the strange familiarity that i once had of getting up early to go to the kingdom hall ever sunday.
I have a question.
If I'm going to believe in lies, does it matter whose lies I believe in? I mean are the WTB&TS lies worse than another churches lies?
If I follow one orgs lies over another am I somehow closer to the truth?
Are another churches lies more safe to follow than the WTB&TS's?
Are another churches lies more correct to follow than the WTB&TS's?
If they are all lies anyway, what difference does it make if I stick with the WTB&TS lies?
It would be kinda' like Pascal's Wager:
Hedge my bets and believe in the thing that gives me the greatest hope/comfort/outlook/salvation/etc.
this boys disappearance was big news in nz.. searches were done a number of times in the area.. finally his body was found.. this article has just appeared with some rather unusual details surrounding his disappearance.. http://www.stuff.co.nz/inl/index/0,1008,1159345a11,ff.html.
you might have to key in the full address to open the article, but i've pasted it as well.. teen went missing after prank .

If this story isn't a prank it's tragic that it ended this way. Is this here a Darwin Award candidate? -Maybe.
But it's the double-standard thing going on again. JDubs aren't allowed to be human.
But then I've come to realize that the truth can only be found here, because nowhere else have I found such an eclectic group of people who are absolutely and totally perfect.
Why I was a full 27 years old when I heard my first elder fart. It was scandalous to say the least. I didn't know they did or could do that. I went down into the deep bowels of my basement and hid because I thought Armageddon was-ah comin' and the great God Jah had abandoned his earthly borganization.
If they have fun - they're not supposed to have fun
If they don't have fun it's - why can't they have fun?
hey fry day & you know,.
how many "infidels" had to fry to bring these many smiles.
to the faces of you two, and all your brothers and sisters?.
Taliban-ana
Looks like one of your own helped me to that end in proving you the liar.
The point is more than adequately proven.
When I accused you of being, "the guy" you denied it, more-or-less. I provided a link to a thread to where I responded to you on your insinuation that it was the WTB&TS members that were leaping for joy on 9/11.
Now that you've been proven a liar, for you DID make such an insinuation; AND you have been proven wrong, you resort to your old MO. Insults. That's how an idiot wins an argument, and I see here on these boreds/threads it appears to be something that works each and every time.
You never seem to deviate from that MO either. It's your "race" card.
Your technique appears to be jab-and-run.
---
I think many people agree with you because they are afraid of you. You will do to them what you're doing to me. You come across as very threatening. Just like the WTB&TS. "If you don't agree with us/me, we'll/I'll make sure your life is miserable here, until you're gone."
But since you fit right in with your ilk, they criticize me and not you. My spelling is critiqued while your buds get a pat on the back. My language is criticized for vulgarity, while your buds can be admitted free wheelin’ sailors. They can watch the Sopranos I have to watch Disney. I call that hypocrisy.
To me it's like that uneasy feeling a person begins to get about the WTB&TS, when they first discover that they are being lied to or manipulated. Their heart pounds in their chest and then they begin saying, "This isn't right, what am I gonna do?" So they sit back for a while and hope it goes away. But it doesn't.
Then they see many of the posts here and say the same basic thing, "Not here too?" And they go through the same process of denial-anger-acceptance-etc.
But eventually some people will smarten up and see that this place is no different. It's a place where people like you who start using threats and insults and create a place where you have to watch out who your friends are, not to mention a touch of fear, repress true expression. Of course if a person fits in they have nothing to fear.
i was looking at another thread.

Taliban-ana
Is that what do you when someone doesn't agree with you? You continually harass them and provide insult after insult? Then of course, as I said before your intent is apparently malicious.
It's apparent to me that your desire is to cause me some kind of harm.
I have demonstated more than once on these boreds, which many deny, that if someone doesn't like another, threats are made to out them or harm them in some way.
You must be a real bully. Do you beat someones face into a bloody pulp until they agree with you.
Why is it so important for you, that you must brow-beat me until I agree with you?
I don't give a shit who you are? You've made a statement, I replied, and exposed you for the hypocrite you are.
hey fry day & you know,.

So I guess that makes you a liar now.
But I'm sure many will still come to your defense.
Regarding Englishman's comments
Yes, real survivors don't smile. Perhaps they feel desperately sad for those who have just died. I think that is what is known as having normal feelings.
If the fireman were laughing and smiling, it was most likely because they were happy to live in a TheoKrazy-Free Country,I simply pointed a case where that was not true. I found one and you STILL criticize and placate the issue.
which would drastically change if Theokrats like you Watchtower Wahabies, or the Islamik Wahabies had their way...
below is an email i received this morning, can you feel the love from the spiritual paradise?
this brings it to a new level of accusations, now i am apparently gay according to the jw gossip mill.
i will have to add that to the list.
Again you missed my point, I see I am at a level you cannot understand. Go ahead idiot’s makes remarks about that one I can't wait.
LoneWolf - why don't you search out the thread that many of your fellow posters admitted to using foul language -and then attack them.
I suppose their intelligence level would then be the same as mine?
Get your mind out of the gutter AlanF-uck & LoneWolf, you and your sophomoric humor, "Who would pick a name like thewiz, and urinating is an accomplishment worth bragging about." Is that how you win arguments, by making one insult after another? You sound like you never made it past middle-school type insulting humor.
I find it hard to believe that many people on these boreds think you are intelligent. You sound like a babbling idiot. Attacking and responding in turn to virtually every sentence I post.
4 things assholes like "you," AlanF-uck, do to discredit a person's posts, and take away from their legitimacy:
1 - attack spelling.
2 - attack grammar.
3 - when someone doesn't agree with the over all "mind-controlling" consensus here, you attack the person's intellect.
4 - Use insults, usually one after the other, and the other dole drum idiots applaud you on. "Yeah, AlanF-uck really showed him."
So as in number 4, I figure if I lower myself to your level, by making insults one after the other, I'll fit in with the rest of ya'll
Hey, I know many, if not most, of my posts aren't appreciated because of the unpopular stand I make. But that is my point. I feel I am showing many of you people to be what you are, no better than the people you condemn.
I stopped calling the JDubs and the WTB&TS the "truth” because in my mind and heart I can't call it that. It bothers my conscience to use that term. But I find that to be true in the majority of the cases here as well. Many people here aren't seeking truth, they've just traded one lie for another and then start making excuses/justifications for it the same way they did when they were in the Borg. Many are, for the most part, ONLY interested when the WTB&TS lies.
I mean it's nice to make friendly banter with people who have or have had similar backgrounds and come from the same relative "mind-controlling" mindset and discuss approaches to break free from it. But to trade one lie for another is not what I call a solution.
So go ahead, insult away, AlanF-uck. I'm sure you win a lot of arguments that way. It's an MO that worked for you when you were in the Borg and for all-intents-and-purposes, one that still works for you today.
Thanks for overwhelmingly proving my point in your last post, AlanF-uck

Tal[iban-ana]would be completely within his rights to critisise, make fun of, comment on, any artwork that was part of a greater whole (such as a publication, ie: the WT or Awake).
Did you miss the boat on this one? I never said he didn't have the right to criticize, or make fun of, or comment on the WTB&TS artwork. But the wholesale pub. of their artwork on his webSite is tantamount to copyright infringement. Did he ask their permission to display and/or pub. their artwork? Well that's what you would need to do.
My argument with Taliban-ana is that s/he criticizes the WTB&TS for stealing Squibbs intellectual property rights and then s/he does the same thing in turn to the WTB&TS. Rips them off!!!
Taliban-ana isn't so much concerned with the issue of stealing intellectual property, s/he's ONLY concerned that it's the WTB&TS doing it to Squibb.
Hey Taliban-ana you might want to correct SixofNine's spelling too, or do you just brow-beat the peoples spelling who don't agree with you?
Oh that's right, you use spelling and grammar as a weak attempt to discredit ONLY the people who don't agree with you or kiss your most worshipful ass.
