Maybe rename it as they have in the past with a question. Like "GIVE UP, WHY?"

Refuting Watchtarded Reasoning - 1. "If a doctor tells you to abstain from alcohol, you wouldn't inject it..."
by Island Man ini'm hoping to start a series of posts refuting common, fallacious jw reasoning that they repeat to support their teachings or defend their organization.
in this first installment i will be tackling the common fallacious analogy used by them to equate eating blood with receiving a transfusion.
feel free to share your own refutations on each thread.. "if a doctor tells you to abstain from alcohol you wouldn't go injecting it into your veins, would you?".

Matthew 15:11 0Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand. 11A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but” by what comes out of it. 12Then the disciples came to Him and said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”… Ive seen this verse used to show that what defiles people are their words, not what they eat...

Trump is a business man period, he knows nothing about christians except that they can vote. His classic "two" corinthians quote exposed his ignorance about the bible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFp9WN2NB6g

2520-607 = 1913
by schnell ini love math, i love calendars, and somehow, this always gets me.. 2520 - 607 = 1913. not 1914.. 2520 - 606 = 1914. from what i understand, russell realized this.
he had previously used 606 bc, of course, but then he switched it to 607 bc.
i know there was something about no zero year, so it actually should be less one, correct?.

I also came across in The Old Theology a date of 1915 highlighted in one of the articles, so give or take a year, doesn't really matter if you are mind numbed.

Internally rolling my eyes.. Get this
by raven ina bit of an update, last weekend was my great grandmothers funeral, now, she was never a jw, and never was going to be, no matter how hard my mother, and grandmother tried to preach to her, she was the type of person that would kindly accept a wt or a book, but she wouldn't bother reading them.. anyways, she was a great wonderful and inspiring woman, the funeral was extremely sad, she had been a school teacher for over 35 years and a member of various clubs, so there were a lot of folks besides family that attended.. well, anyways i was there and so was my jw mother, stepfather, and grandmother, we were cordial, didn't talk about anything jw related because, it was great grandmothers funeral, not really a time to discuss how i am an evil sinner, or how i've escaped the org by avoiding df'ing, right?
wrong, as i'm sitting waiting for the service to begin, a lady shows up, now- i have known this woman for a long time, apparently she baby sat me as a small child, (like i remember?
) so she isn't someone i was ever close with, but knew of her or when she was around would say hi to and make small talk.. to give you a tid-bit on her personality though, she is one of those crazy jw's.. she claims to have been possessed by a demon, very very wacky on the prophesies, or gb talks, etc.

Sorry for your loss, this nut sounds like a relic of the 60,s and 70,s which we called "Jesus Freaks". They talked up Jesus 24/7 and when you saw one, you would immediately go the other way, to avoid being sent to hell by them for their Pharisitic blabber. All religions have a few and then they become leaders...

New light in this weeks WT?
by Indian Larry inanybody have any ideas where they are going with the "new light" they have been pushing last week and this week?
for instance in this weeks study article one section reads:.
in years gone by, we believed that jehovah became displeased with his people because they did not have a zealous share in the preaching work during world war i. we concluded that for this reason, jehovah allowed babylon the great to take them captive for a short time.

As I heard before, the only new light coming out of the 2017 Watchtower is when you set it on fire and watch the new light...

The fireworks were great to watch, or was it protests. Did Obama pardon Hillary? I remember in my work coming across an old lady, that was almost as histerical as some are now , when Obama was elected in 2008. She said he was the anti christ and in her own way thought it was the end of the world. We did ok under Obama and we will do ok with this character, If he gets off course, they can impeach him, and this time congress won't be afraid to impeach because voters won't call them racists. I think it is time for the pendalum to swing back, to give the other side time to regroup and re troup.

Growing up I had to attend this king of service and I just deplored when they asked you to raise your hand and sway. I refused to copy all the other "Jesus Freaks" as they were called, and just watched. Its almost as if you were agreeing to everything the leader was saying if you raised your hand, and if you just stood there or sat there, you were looked upon as an outsider, a non-believer, someone to shun...other religions have their means of DA,d
