SILLY OBSESSION: Jehovah's Witnesses' Conspiracy Theory about the Return of Christ

by TerryWalstrom in

______silly obsessionsome groups of people in the world believe flying saucers and space aliens are secretly visiting our planet intervening in man’s affairs.

jehovah’s witnesses believe something very similar!

"before leaving the earth, jesus christ promised to return.".

prologos

TWoY: "--advent --preparation, Christians would spend 40 days in penance, prayer, and fasting to prepare for this celebration; originally, there was little connection between Advent and Christmas.
By the 6th century, however, Roman Christians had tied Advent to the coming of Christ. But the “coming” they had in mind was not Christ’s first coming in the manger

That why the advent of Armageddon, Christ coming again, the 4st time has such an emotional hold on believers. We used to have 4 candles lit in succession to mark the nearness of the judgement, by Santa, aka Christ. Candles on a wreath, a circular counting you did not know whether you were coming or going, dates mattered.

Even the songbooks are now silver daggers, going right to the heart, strings of emotions. The silver harps of god, the gob? in a mirror, the b is a d. The gob. is the mirror image of god in the grey eyes of jws.

Vegan paradise

by coalize in

if in the wts earthly-paradise fantasy, the wolf won't eat no more the lamb and they will be the best friends, will human continue to kill lambs to eat?.

the earthly paradise is vegan?.

prologos

how about pecto- and lacto vegetarians?

When I see a cow with a big udder and a boy with fishing rod, or fly fishing in those perennial streams and lakes of wt paradise scenes, i'll believe it.

There are pollo/lacto/pesco vegetarians among the super centenarians bsw. but many smokers, inhaling vegetables.

prologos

Talking about logic, Abel did not kill lambs to eat either, he might have done it just to sacrifice. Since the centerpiece of the paradise was a talking, walking snake with a diet changed to dust, where is the basis for logic?

Blood is healthy

by TheWonderofYou in

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2112829-blood-from-human-teens-rejuvenates-body-and-brains-of-old-mice/.

the key to youth appears to be in the blood plasma – the liquid part of blood.

several studies have found that injecting plasma from young mice into old mice can help rejuvenate the brain and other organs, including the liver, heart, and muscle.. blood has the power to turn back time.

prologos

we hope that the blood we have to have in an emergency is healthy, but in the whole, is it wholesome? vampire, bat-shitty or otherwise digest blood. that is a crappy affair. black stool , but not a vampire,? see a doctor, you digesting your own, seeping blood. good health to you too.

That One Defining Moment That Changed Your Life.

by new boy in

it seems that many times in life there is a moment or an action that changes your whole world.

it could be just a look that someone gives you.. many times it can be something rather small.

something hardly noticeable by anyone but you.

prologos

I arrived home after a day of service, and on our bed was a brown mail wrapper. special delivery, bethel style, the latest wt mag, per subscription. rapt attention to Question from reader, and: " Superior Authorities not J&j, but the governments ". I never felt so deflated. We just had come that afternoon from a bible study in the brown, -s-coloured " Let god be true-- man a liar 'book, that had driven home the unique wt doctrine, that only J&j are superior, -governments are nothing. We were made fools of, despite a brilliant and desperate defense of an untenable position. snap.

WT will never make fools of us again.

when 1975 was in their next book, we build our first house, still in the family as a monument to wt errors, that cause so much harm.

My plans for Christmas this year

by UnshackleTheChains in

1. attend a charity christmas party which my wife (active jw) helps to organise each year 😀.

2. buy a very small christmas tree with lights for the living room (which can easily be hidden away if jw friends are coming up).

3. buy some nice presents for my family.

prologos

I like the lights,-- but there is limit--an article in the Guardian, how the Santa Claus lies are harmful to Children, so, I am thinking, wt threats of Armageddon are so successful, because it is just another version of

" better be good,-- for Santa Claus is coming to town--"
