  Jehovah's INEFFECTIVE Witness...(Why no TV ministry???)

  by Terry in

  what if i asserted the following as true?

  the watchtower bible and tract society has no interest in an effective evangelical program of conversion.. would that sound silly?

  disfellowshipping would lead to having a big target placed on the ex jw's back at armageddon.. .

  Well Terry you have put a lot of work into that.

  It is a shame it took so many of us, so long to see through the Watchtower Society. The only thing that puzzles me is who actually spends the money, or is it being salted away?

  Seeing through something we believed in as much as the Watchtower Society, makes us aware of the real motives of other organisations. It is a sort of inoculation. Most religious and political organisations and government are just as much of a scam and fool hundreds of millions of people. Truth and honesty does exist but it is rare.

  Guys and flowers, whadda ya think??

  alright, i'm looking for some opinions from the male portion of our jwd audience.. i'm in a long-distance relationship, like i've said here a million times before, so doing special things for my guy is kinda hard.

  not only is it long-distance, it's international, too.

  we're 3500 miles apart and i'm a starving student, so i can't just swing by for a visit to do something special for him on the fly.. last semester, i sent him a bunch of flowers in his favourite colour, a special "i miss you" bouquet from a local florist that i found online.

  LittleToe comes from the land of the perfect gift. I am surprised that he didn’t suggest a bottle of single malt Scotch Whiskey. But then if I were you Super-Becka, I would save it for when he visits.

  How aliens are seizing control of Earth (Meol'gadik)

  by Franz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you sit back and analyze how things are run, one thing is evident: that power on earth is in the hands of a nefarious few and they are not human.

  humans are controlled.

  unless you are a believer and follower of the most high with your eyes opened as to what's going on, then you are most likely being manipulated or controlled by them in one way or another.

  Very deep Franz

  Energy Vampires - Besides manipulating the humans on earth through chip implants and possession aliens feed off of human energy also called loosh. To duplicate this on earth, various pagan practices include learning how to 'suck the energy out of people' have been developed.

  I think this explains why I have been feeling tired lately.

  Has the Watchtower ever claimed to be inspired?

  by jwfacts in

  .

  does anyone know if the watchtower has ever claimed to be inspired?

  i know that they claim to be directed by holy spirit, which means the same as being inspired, but have they ever used the word inspired?

  We should always look to God's appointed channel for reliable information, not to a network of Internet users

  Internet users are able to instantly send information around the world, reliably and with total accuracy. No one from The Tower has yet explained why Jehovah cannot achieve the same results when sending information to the Governing Body.

  Perhaps that is why he hates the internet so much!

  Yes LittleToe - it does seem that I have not full shaken of the Jehovah’s Witness idea that everything in a Bible based religion should be black and white. That is why I prefer to follow a different path. I have some sympathy with The Tao and it’s philosophical approach to life.

  I am waiting for James Thomas to start a religion. I am of course joking. That would defeat the essence of his message.

  LDH - they are my observations too.

  LittleToe

  Thanks but - there really is no need to apologise.

  Why the bemusement? How much have you got invested in maintaining a worldview that people have to conform to a traditional version of a religion?

  This is a good point - I see where you are coming from. Why should it matter to me?

  Well the reason I don’t claim to be a Christian is because I am unable to accept the Bible. If I could edit it to my liking things might be different. The problem is there would be so little left it is more honest for me to base my beliefs on say, my observation of nature. If I don’t believe most of what is written in the New Testament can I present myself to the world as a Christian?

  I remember listening to a debate between an atheist and some modern men of the cloth. One of them stated that it was not necessary to believe in God to be a Christian. The atheist laughed and said that they were being dishonest. He said they had taken over an old company and were misusing it’s name.

  There was a time when being a Christian meant making a stand, being no part of the world, seeking first the kingdom to stand approved on judgement day. This is what the Bible claims Jesus taught. Those that rejected these beliefs were not Christians.

  Now many Christians want to reject all these beliefs and still claim to be Christians. There is disagreement within the Christian movement over this. Outsider look and sense that it is a fudge. Modern Christianity is a lot nearer to my values than that taught by the old fire and brimstone brigade. Before long it will not be necessary to believe in Jesus to be Christian. If we are kind and loving people, belief will not be necessary. Good grief - then even I will be a Christian!

  If people want to tailor their beliefs and use the bits of the bible that they feel comfortable with - as you say ‘why should it matter to me?’ As I don’t believe it anyway, it should not concern to me.

  Narkissos - thanks for the link.

  LittleToe - Thanks for your reply.

  This thread is not aimed at you personally. People are entitled to believe what they want to but I am bemused by the way Christianity has been slowly dismantled, in some churches, until it bears no resemblance to the religion pioneered by Jesus and his apostles.

  I have attended many churches and live next door to a vicar. I even have him and his gay partner to dinner. He tells me that the whole Bible is a metaphor or an ideal but not to be taken literally.

  So many inconvenient Bible references are dismissed and air brushed away, in an attempt to make the Christian religion appear to be a political correct modern movement. I might be easier and more honest to throw the Bible away and make a fresh start based on a nice man in sandals from Galilee, who loved the poor and only spoke of love.

  LittleTtoe.

  I am familiar with the games you play on the web. You have a pattern of distracting people from the point in hand by asking obscure questions. Once answered you ask more questions and move further and further away from the issue you choose to avoid.

  It doesn’t work with me and is one of the reasons I generally avoid debating with you. Perhaps you would like to answer the questions raise on this thread rather that replying with questions of your own.
