  Tech49 on DC: Experiences are not truthful

  by Tech49 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was sent a link to a homemade video from our summer district convention, not the one i attended, but the next weekend.

  it was a video of a local brother, relating his "experience" of "trusting in jehovah", and how he was blessed.. it was just about 1 short minute long.

  ms harper showed it to me first, she wanted to get my comment on it before she said a word.. background: we both know this brother, he is about our age, so we know the "real" story.. anyways, his story goes like this: this experience goes back about 10 years (jeez, we must be really searching for the experiences now!).

  Jehovah's Witnesses View of Jesus Compared to the Early Church

  2. beliefs

  the following is an extract from something i wrote 16 years ago soon after leaving the watchtower.

  i am posting it because it may help honest jws consider how far their beliefs are at odds with new testament christians.

  if they have "the truth" then their attitude to jesus ought to reflect that of the apostles.

  Music of the 60's ... Peace Love and Understanding

  by Finkelstein in

  2. entertainment

  retrospectively looking back at some the music that was being produced during .

  the 60's, 70's and even in the 1950's there really was a lot of good music without the.

  entailing commercial visual hype that so apparent in popular music today.. this was of course pre music videos, the music had to stand on its own to create its own public appeal.. whats some of the music that you fondly remember all you baby boomers ?

  Armageddon

  by finnrot in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with these new disasters going on around the world, i would imagine that the jw's are going ape shit with the thought of death and destruction right around the corner.

  i was smart enough to leave this cult after 1975 came and went with a whimper.

  i was in my teens at the time and i vividly remember to this day the excitement all the witlesses had with the knowledge that '75 was going to be the year of armageddon!!!

  this is sad, tragic and stupid.... .

  a priest in eastern europe has been accused of drowning a baby boy as he baptised him.. police are investigating father valentin for accidential homicide after witnesses at the ceremony said the priest did not cover the baby's mouth during the ritual, the sun newspaper reports.. father valentin had denied being responsible for the baby's death during the baptism in moldova.. the six-week-old baby died on the way to hospital and an autopsy found he had drowned, the baby's dad dumitru gaidau told romania's publica tv.. mr gaidau, 36, said his son was clearly in distress during the ceremony.. "he couldn't inhale, his face turned blue and he was foaming at the mouth.

  he [the priest] said we should not interrupt this their ritual," he said.. "we couldn't believe it that he just put his hand over his belly and over the head and submerged him three times in the water.".

  *disclaimer: these are just jokes!

  mary is having a really crappy time playing the cards life has dealt her right now and that is no joke.

  but since we know how fond she is of jokes, maybe we can cheer her up.*.

  WoMD ... so where are they?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!

  perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.

  now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.
