ok third rant since last night.
a "demonstration" was given on how to give some brochures and in this demo it starts:.
"hi im suchandsuch and im one of jehovahs witnesses".
"in the old testament where Jehovah directly was involved with killing of men, women, children....""
Where do you get that, that is bad? They deserved it. If those millions would have survived, they would have had children, etc, etc, and there would be millions, billions more today. It is really a good thing that they were divinely extinguished.
My problem is that he does not cause bad things to happen, but he does not stop them from happening when he has the power.
saving mr. banks is not about mary poppins exactly, not the one we know.
in this movie we come to see who she was to the author through flashbacks that become so entwined with the adult author, a bitter and negative woman, that mary p.'s purpose becomes clear at last and not the disney factory model.
if you haven't seen it, a speech disney gives to her is phenominal in my opinion.
I saw it and hated it. I thought that Loki in Thor was a brighter and better character than Ms Travers character was. Tom Hanks was good and also Colin Farrel.
jw literature is racist as hell.
jesus looks like an american folk singer, the governing body look like a corrupt version of an enron luncheon.. the jw's literally print different magazines for africa with african pictures, black people instead of white, to make it 'more appealing' to them.... just to be clear that means they think the opposite is true too!.
....and then there is the lack of black angels..... .
Actually there should be black and asian angels pictured. Angels appeared to Abraham and Lot and others in an appearance of the people that they knew around them. They would not appear to Abraham or Lot as black or Asian because they would have never seen such ones. They would be shocked at the different appearance of them more than what their purpose is. But since today those races exist as prevalent, then they would appear to people as such to fit in.
generally i found most people were pretty apathetic and often surprisingly tolerant , but we've all had some bad ones.
looking back , here were my worst couple of experiences - there probably were others but i've probably long forgotten them or blanked them off.. i was a kid of maybe 13 & it was bitterly cold & pouring with rain.
i was working alone in a middle class street near my school where i knew a lot of my school teachers lived & was scared stiff at every door half the time pretending to press bells , doing the fake knock etc.
My worst experience is when I was working the houses alone and this woman came to the door in a bikini and she didn't invite me in.
they society wanted these people in china to put a good word for them to legalize the work in the communist land.
the officials said, they just couldn't get the officials to do that but would put a good word for them anyway.. the sh*t these people dream up!.
what is fishy is this " I instantly started crying and wanted to break out clapping. How fantastic is that?"

That is because those angels were not affected by Adam's sin. Since skin color changes are mutations and angels don't mutate, they can only be what they were originally created as.
And there is no such thing as racism. It is mutationism. Since everyone came from Noah and his family and any changes are a result of mutations from them.
with phil robertson getting the boot within a day of his comments by a&e, what would happen if the lbg community started calling all of the venue managers of their convention arenas and exposing them for the hate group they are today?
just a thought.
.
I agree with what he said. I don't see how men can be attracted to other men. Gross. Nothing to do with hate. Anothing wrong with anti-gay sayings.
i am very interested in hearing from people who really think that people with tattoos are somehow weird or cagey individuals.
i would just like to get your outlook on this matter.
today i was in a grocery store and i sawe this guy with his two kids and his wife shopping.
I frown upon tattoos. They are an oxymoron.
People get them to be individuals, but yet their getting them is their following the crowd. Go figure.
And they are ugly and not thinking of the future.
check out this gem from the dec 2013 km which explains why it's good to over this book a second go round.. "congregations previously considered this book during 2004 and 2005. however,for many of the approximately two million publishers who have come into the truth since then,this will be the first time that jehovahs endearing qualities have been discussed in detail.for those who studied the book before, the review will help them to deepen their appreciation forjehovahs attributes.ps.119:14".
i gotta kick out of this because i can only think of maybe two or three new ones in our congregation who weren't present when this book was first studied.
at the same time, going over jehovah's qualities isn't something new.
"Jehovah’s endearing qualities"
Such as letting storms destroy cities and kill millions when he has the power to stop them.
Letting the confusion of multitudes of religions go on and on.
But the reason they go voer books again is that book were released at conventions to bring in revenue and then to study at book studies. But the revenue does not come in so much these days and with the internet being the publishing focus, it is more of a loss to publish books.
alright.
let's have the ultimate discussion on "higher education.
" let's talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
mamochen said: "The downside is the student loans. They are crushing me and have ruined my credit rating. Had I gone to university when I was young my life would be so much better now. I hate the religion for preventing mefrom doing that".
This I take issue with. How can the religion prevent you from doing anything? It is like saying that the law prevents one from speeding. It does not control my car but because of their powers they can punish one afterwards. But the religon can not punish one for going to University.
First of all, how would they know what one does on one's time unless you tell them. I don't see why anyone would tell anyone that.
And second, how can they punish one? Demote someone from being an elder or servant? That is not a punishment, that is a relief.
