Beliving in your god is like beliving in a leprachaun. Neither have proof of their existance....He didn't like the comparison and kicked me out of his house!

IS THE ORGANIZATION MORE JEWISH THAN "CHRISTIAN"?

i've enrolled in a religious studies class this term focusing on christianity and the more i read, the more i'm getting the impression that the wtb&ts actually has more in common with the jews than mainstream christianity as i've illustrated below:.

main stream christianity jews jehovah's witnesses.

trinity - 3 god's in one one god: yahweh one god: jehovah (english version of yahweh).

Well, its more cult than anything.

But being they believe jeebus was a "special" person I'd put them more "Christian" than Jewish.

This really get's my goat

would you treat somebody better if they drove a mercedes as opposed to a person who drives a ford pinto, you don't have to be mr. spock to figure out that's not logical, so why would you treat somebody differently if they get in 20 hours per month as opposed to 2 hours a month, this goes on all the time in dub land, this is the major thing that " stumbles" me, (my favorite dub word, that'll i'll vent about in a future post).

the dubs do this all the time and it really pisses me off, they claim that their not a judgemental group but we all know better.

how can you judge somebodys worth on a slip of paper marking how many hours they go knocking on doors, that's just wrong.

truthseeker1

The only good thing I can think about is service hours are easy to fake, driving a mercedes isn't. Sure you could slap the hood star on a pinto, but who will know the difference. Now writing a 20 on a slip of paper is pretty darned easy. Just say you do a lot of hrs at work or something...

someone mentioned this in one of their posts and i had a flashback.

i remember getting a w on one of my theocratic school talks when i was working on gesturing.

the funny thing about it is that it was given to me by my dad!

truthseeker1

Oh to clarify, Its a privilege to recieve anything in a talk, cuz its a privilege to give a talk. We should rejoice that we are getting council on beeing a better public speaker. People pay thousands of dollars to enroll in a class such as this.....BAH I can't even fake it...
