Great Tribulation and Trump

by TakeOffTheCrown in

please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

prologos

Fm, I mean it as a parody. I believe those that read post-watchtower, supra- jw meanings into the discredited bible accounts are bound to be disappointed again.

I see the trump vote and developing brext. afd, austrian votes as an uprising against the undermining of the merit derived, , language/race based, dominant culture. To make that understandable to ex jws, bible thumbers, I made reference to the 7st king of Rev, believed,- I think-, by them identified with the 'Anglo-American Empire', but in other's minds stretching further east.

the wt bible interpretations that you seem to still be fascinated with, well, how can you really take that seriously, after all the debacles starting from 1:1 ?

Trump's triumph, probably short lived, is about the great tribulation of a language group that stretches from Poland to San Fransisco, , Sidney and Wellington, aka seventh king, now, all that would be meaningful only if there really was a basis to the walking, talking snake in the tale.

So the governing body is NOT inspired...are they still "spirit directed"?

by NikL in

okay there has been lots of buzz about the feb 2017 wt where they say the governing body is not inspired nor infallible.

yet, they are still using the baptism questions.

the second one being... "do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah’s witnesses in association with god’s spirit-directedorganization?".

prologos

There can be no doubt that the wt organisation has an esprit de corps, an elan, and that David Splane's remark "we like that idea" borders on delight of having discovered the overlapping bright new light, but unlike Einstein, who was walking elated at the thought about the stopping church clock as he surfed light, -- wt's spirit direction does not translate into truth.

Anyone else hear of this?

a jw family member informed me they are filling out an application to preach the truth in israel.

interested ones in the congregation were asked to start saving now, as the cost of the flights would be their own responsibility.

the time frame for this preaching work is for a couple of weeks in may/june 2017. the applications are to be turned in this sunday.

Slaves and Sheeps

by Sorry in

disclaimer: while this may be a sensitive topic to some, i don't wish to offend anyone.

please don't turn this into a political discussion with name calling and yelling.

i can see why the borg hates higher education.

prologos

slaves in the South were allowed to marry, but that benevolent gesture served to keep them in line, for fear of one of them be sold off, so, wt uses the same technique, removal. But: wt hates goats, they are good climbers (climb every mountain), and I remember being painfully horn - butted by billy the bully. besides, the bible god also prefers sheep, well done - by Abel.

Why is religion in general so obsessed with what people choose to do with their willies and vaginas?

what was it in the evolution of religion that got them so hung up about what people do with their genitalia?.

i mean, the (mis)use of genitalia is up there with murdering another human being in terms of badness.. and in the 21st century, we have a situation where in the jw religion, it's deemed as acceptable for three middle aged/old men to sit a teenage girl down and ask her the details of her use of her genitals.

to any normal person this is intrusive, completely inappropriate and bordering on deviancy.. why they so obsessed?.

prologos

religion is kind of an ornament, so is sex. The varied uses of Ws & Vs., seen as a heavenly gift, was a natural to make it a subject of religious control by all.

question:

when you were "in" was bedtime for you a two prayer event? thanks be fore play, and after?

sheep are dumb? remember, the anointed are sheep too, just not OTHER sheep, , dumb enough though, to take the talking snake tale seriously, but smart enough to use it to lord it over.

When you stop & think about it ,why would Gods chosen people in the Old testament need an army ?

by smiddy in

jw
friends

as the op states why would israel /jewish nation need to have an army at all ?

if they were the chosen people as the bible states under a theocracy , why would the men of israel need an army .?

to protect them ?.

prologos

the key word is old testament. clearly we have Jewish people, so they made it into the present. The old testament is a story, like little red riding hood, with talking animals.

commenting on the story's script: To keep the "universal sovereignty" issue suspenseful, "god" has only selectively interfered. the swords at eden, flood, babel, firstborn, joshuah's stopping the Earth's rotation, --so:

Just in case full participation by god is not in the offing, arm yourself, even with horses;- even against instructions, if you are wise.- as Solomon.

sexuality is the currency of evolution, passing on your genes, selfishly, so: controlling that was controlling life, the business of the so-called divine.

The one oclock meeting

by Steel in

i go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.

its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.

if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.
