just writing down some notes to share with jws when i meet them.
here are a few of the problems of logic i see in their doctrines.
perhaps you can add to them.. systemic contradictions – jws boast about fighting for religious freedom – that is their freedom to share their differing views with people outside the organization - yet there is no freedom amongst members to disagree with any official teaching within the organization without the threat of losing friends and family.
Jws say that there were less than 150,000 faithful Christians that ever existed
and Rev 20 says you have to be martyred in order to rule with Christ, yet the majority of the wt anointed remnant died and expect to die a peaceful comfi death.
to wt it is more important to believe in the overlapping generation, than to be among the millions that fulfilled the heavenly requirement by paying the ultimate price. nice!
it was announced this week that the theme for the 3 day convention is "do not give up".
these are the words that are spoken to someone who is struggling and is in the process of giving up.
this theme tells me that many in the organization are tiring out and slowing down.
wt is asking a lot of it's long time supporters, overlapping to 2075 and beyond. WTBtS leaders have given a d----. and they want us not to give up? I guess it's ok, as long as we give, they prefer that giving is up, rather than down . what is the theme in other languages? logoi mean a lot.
this was always something i had trouble believing as i was growing up.
now i'm in my 30's i can see this will never happen.

In this science story, is shown that political- religious attitudes are hardwired into the brain, and it would not be enough to destroy the infra structure of religion, but a massive brainwashing with drugs campaign to rid the world of TEEOFR.

wt arrived at the destruction of babylon the great via a very convoluted route, all from the book of the apocalypse. seventh world power, seventh, eighth kings, ten kings, The league of nations---. even if there is an empire of false religion, what secular power would do it, China?
Religion is so useful for the rulers, makes citizens docile, warriors fearless and fanatical, give me more!
with all the cattle, sheep and others wouldn't they be shitting and peeing all over the place?
along with the gallons and gallons of blood being drained and then the flesh being burned as well.
wouldn't the stench be unbearable?.
Oh ye of little faith, "this is an agreeable odour " to the person that is supposed to be bigger than the cosmos, so, he must have the biggest nostrils to eagerly vacuum it all up. right? upward. after all, one of his sons could make a snake talk , the conversation* that started all this stink in the first place,
may be wt prefers sample conversations over stand-up talks even for males now.
"jehovah's witnesses are too cultish for my liking" what do you think about my new word invention?.
any cultocracy is crazy and should be culminated.

cults need to be culled.
romans 13 : 1-7 "let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities" etc,"the existing authourities stand placed in their relative positions by god" 2".therefore he who opposers the authourity has taken a stand against the arrangement of god ,those who have taken a stand against it will recieve judgement to themselves "etc,etc,.."..to him who calls for honour such honour.".
isnt this plainly stating that christians should be supporting and playing along with the governments of this sytem of things ?
that it is in fact an arrangement of god ?
Satan was cast down to the Earth from heaven, causing terrible suffering for all here.
Annon: yeah if he wanted to win the contest of winning votes, would he not have showered mankind with goodness instead, in his final sprint? may be it was the other contestant that caused all the havoc, like he did in Babel, and in the same region again today? bad scriptwriting in that made up drama.
... old people!
yeah, i know, as pete kaye would say: "old people, you can't beat 'em .... pity".. but seriously, where else would you have a bunch or 17 year old lads chatting with some 80+ year old guy?.
i remember some of the old people in our old kh and they were genuinely nice people.
WTWizard, not many oldtimers are retired circuit overseers who live in their past glory days and would be talking in glowing terms to youngsters to perpetuate the slavery.
Old and fit people are the success story of the human race, A recent science article pointed out that the the long life of humans has been established by older and older men fathering children throughout the ages. Old people like to be surrounded by the future generation, those young ones though, are truly in a different world, and young people might be more dismissive of the old then ever. Hopefully, that sharing of great experience will happen before those particular old ones fade away.
The experience that there is life, satisfaction apart, beyond, and outside the wt straight jacket.
so just finished telling your concerns about the pedophiles cover up, failed prophecies, revisionists history and lack of financial transparency.
so elders ask you the questions.
" so does this mean you don't want to to be a jw anymore?
"do you believe Jehovah is directing his organization today?
nowwhat: one could say: given all the evidence, we would have to say yes.imo. because
speaking of Spirit direction, the finest example of Spirit direction in the bible is Jesus himself. He was directed by the Spirit to be tempted in the wilderness. so:
if you think there could be seen anything negative in observing the going- ons, that it is distressing, that would not have to be any more evidence of happening because of lack of Spirit direction,-- than in Jesus' case.-- so:
yes of course he does , seen by all the evidence.
