  Have you ever known a holocaust denier? How did you feel about them?

  by Esse quam videri in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i sometimes did work for a lovely old couple who at times needed repairs done around their home.

  my wife and myself spent time with them, having tea and crackers from time to time.

  one day the husband and myself got into a conversation and he clearly showed himself to be a holocaust denier.

  Jesus Christ was no Moses

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  moses has a history of what 80+ years as a servant of jehovah ?

  in one form or another .. moses wrote / penned the first five books of the bible and went through many trials and tribulations in serving his god jehovah in his long lifetime.interacting with god at times.. jesus was born and nothing is recorded of him until he is a young adolescent child ?

  and very little about him.. then we are introduced to him when he is 30 years old and gets baptised ,and only then does he start his preaching .. does he start preaching to the world ?

  Did he not spend a couple of nights in the Samaritan city of the lady at the well as well?but: he out-miracled Moses, in that one's place he could have walked the Israelites across the Red Sea, brought forth wine from the rock, ==

  Why Finding the One True Religion is Impossible

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws like to think they have found the one true religion.

  but like so many other religious people, it's usually the religion they were born into, the only religion they know because it's the first one they found or, at the most, one of two or three (typically the second one after they left their first / born-in faith).. the trouble is, there simply isn't enough time to explore and investigate each and everyone of the many thousands of belief systems, religions and sects around the world.. think of it this way: which is the best neighbourhood to live in where you would be most happy and most successful?

  not just in the city or even the country you are in, but the entire world.. how would you ever know?

  If there is a creator, would he not want to create with him? further his work ? fit in with nature? not killing animals or humans or fell trees to worship him, wt style?

  Finding the true religion is impossible, founding the true religion is possible for yourself use, and live your best life.

  The person that exposed me to wt literature was a Holocaust Denier, a rabid nazi ( a demented former SS member who had a heavy metal brain disorder from his occupation). an avid witness that could not shake the hate from his traumatised back ground ( not all war crimes were committed by the Nazis ). The plight of the Jewish people is so well documented, filmed. not just in the extermination camps, but the CO gas and bullet shoa. The US Air force even filmed the crematoria, and open pits in Auschwitz/ Birkenau, as they bombed the nearby, Inmates- build IG Farben/ Buna factories.

  My father, who was a technician using Concentration Camp slave labor, was shown through the camp and its skeletal victims, and beaten (perhaps somebody knew is technical part of the inmate exploitation). I remember in 1938-39 the jewish neighbours wearing the yellow star, and that they all had dis-appeared ftom the neighbourhood when we returned after the war. Holocaust deniers are nuts as the person in the opening above, or vicious bigots.

  Benjamin Schnell, no, I am computer illiterate, and pressed the quote button at the wrong time, and could not get rid of it. It was my question. it would be nice, if we all could use our real names, but hidden, with absolute security, for those like wt that are not entitled to it. and:

  you will have to go north to latitude Masdras on August 21 ti be in total shadow. Why Schnell and not Jehu?

  Why isnt the overlapping generation( interpretation), consistently applied to these scriptures.?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why does the wt interpret matt.24:34 "truly i say to you this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

  " as having overlapping generations ?

  and not applying the same reasoning to any other scripture/s referring to a generation or this generation .?

  Stan livedeath: "--these overlapping generations will by no means pass away until all these things occur."
  does that sound better ?

  It does, because it proves,that the wt is wrong already, before anything happens to confirm it. because the generation is not supposed to pass away, but wt charts show they will pass away. sooner, before, "-- not-- until all have passed."

  Here's a morbid thought...

  by Rainbow_Troll in

  2. beliefs

  it probably will never happen but... imagine the gb recieved some new light that told them the great tribulation was imminent.

  the world is going to hell and all jws can expect until armageddon is terrible persecution the likes of which no christian has ever experienced in two thousand years.

  but jehovah has a solution: put yourself and your family 'to sleep' and after armageddon's over, jehovah will 'wake his people up' at the resurrection.

  judging by the way the more lucid JWs in this neck of the woods implement wt suggestions, threats, There would not be, like at the memorial, any partakers of The Poison Potion either, multimillionaires, spending their money on self satisfaction, providing into the far future, not to be interrupted by wt weariness.

  is this a first on JWN, that a real name is revealed, like a schnell truckdriver named Benjamin? Not all can follow your fine example for fear of being known here /, but dead at the hall.

  Justice catches up with 101-year-old paedophile. Not a JW but.....

  by pleaseresearch in

  2. scandals

  was in the car listening to the radio of a 101 year old pedophile.

  i loved the detective who spoke and said "the day that not prosecuting someone who hurts a child is not in the public interest, we may as well all just pack up and go home.".

  this makes me feel sick to my stomach even more at what the australian royal commission investigated.. .

  This retribution (and warning for latent potential offenders), contrasts with wt procedure, where an offending elder might get off scot free, if he can hide it for two years from "the committee, and the public thereafter.

  The Great Crowd!

  by A Believer in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  notice the 144000 can be counted and they all come from israel.. 9 after this i saw, and look!

  a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues,*+ standing before the throne and before the lamb, dressed in white robes;+ and there were palm branches in their hands.+ .

  this great crowd, no man was able to number, and they come from every nation!

  The sly way that wt introduced the non-partaking with the great crowd stand-up in Washington in 1935. quote GKR book: " --- many could see where they stood and no longer partook" page 53 last line.

  To be saved. on earth or heaven you have to partake according to John six. For wt that would be easy to fix, more wine and crackers at the hall for the all the potential members of the future great crowd . ( according to wt, The great crowd exists only after armageddon ).

  Thank you all for the good reading of all the convoluted possibilities, spun out of the talking snake sequel.
