Do you believe that Jehovah is using the Organization today?

by Iamallcool in

any elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.

i hope that they will never ask me that question.

any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.

Lately i bring up 1914 and ask them to kindly explain it in a simple way. conversation changes quickly to something like "waste on Jehovah" or did they say wait..

The Story of My Sister - Lurkers: Is this logical?

by Funchback in

my sister got baptized at 17 or 18 years old in 1983. she was ripe for the jw picking as she was shy, quiet, naive and with low self-esteem even though she was tall and beautiful and she attended one of the best high schools in philadelphia.. she wasn't outgoing and she only went out on a couple of dates prior to her baptism.

she worked at a day care center.

she loved children and animals.

Your sister got Da,d for going to one of the forbidden places...apply the same rules to the org and they need to Da themselves for mingling with the UN. All were told not to touch the unclean thing, but in hiding the org was having relations with the UN. Perfect case for Da on themselves. "Do as I say, not as I do"

Like / Dislike Display Issue

by Simon in

just a heads up, since the last update the like / dislike votes sometimes don't display immediately due to caching.

they are all definitely counted though and will appear eventually, the issue is purely with the display part.

i'll look at fixing the cache so it's more immediate..

i saw this news scrolling at the bottom of the television screen this morning.

i looked it up.

not much of a story, but it certainly has the ring of truth to it.

Norway: Hospitals Refuse To Accept JW Blood Card

by darkspilver in

been sent this - could be an interesting story - seems totally unrelated to recent events in canada, but see under the sub-heading 'debate after birth' - translation is via google, which is unfortunately not very good :(.

from the thursday 8 december 2016 print editon of agderposten newspaper - a norwegian daily newspaper with a circulation of just under 20,000 (so admittedly a relatively small regionally based circulation newspaper).

jehovas vitner har laget et blodkort for overføring i en akuttsituasjon.

I now consider a blood transfusion as an organ transplant and not consuming the blood, since the blood continues to circulate thru the body and does not pass out of the body like waste does. The WT reasoning falls apart with this organ transplant notion.

What is life?

by punkofnice in

when i was a jobo, i used to thing of 'life without end at laaaasssssst'.. having been on my journey out of the wbt$ slaveholdery, i have found that something that makes sense is that life doesn't owe us a meaning.

psalms 146:4 was actually bangeth on the money-eth 'his breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.'.

although i am now very atheist, and really do not even think there is the remotest possibility of a god, that bible passage is correct.

The December Broadcast... OMG- what the heck was that?

by Sliced in

"of course not- we want to eat from clean dishes!

dishes that have been cleaned thoroughly inside and out.

" we have to be sure the things entering our minds are clean... rejecting exciting fun stuff that features sex.

where is the video showing how to safely tear off toilet paper at the dotted line, so as not to leave sheaves of paper for the next poor soul, and never never shake someone,s hand as you leave the restroom at the assembly.
