  TATTOOS and da troof - DOES the babble teach what WT claims?

  by hamsterbait in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  they love to quote the verse "you must not make tattoo markings upon yourself," to "prove" that witlesses should not have body art.. yet the word tattoo is maori in origin.

  how the hell did moses know a maori word???.

  in every other translation it says you must not make cutting marks.

  Why does anyone need to quote the Bible on this subject?

  Tattoos are just plain stupid. People get them because they want to be free, rebels, not following the establishment. But they get them because they are following others.

  Something dangerous and permanent and non-productive. bah on it.

  Why a Faithful and discreet slave???

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible speaks of it making a man fully equipt 2tim, and that the anointing teaches one 1john, holy spirit is also available luke, john and even god will grant wisdom if one asks james.

  so why the need for a faithful and discreet slave, in the bible???

  Why? Because they need a verse to justify what they do and what they are.

  What is with the WT obsession with King David??

  by BU2B in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems like at least once a month he is brought up as a good example in the study wt.

  it seems like he is given more praise than jesus.

  have you noticed this?

  It is because they are so fond of using the Bible as an example and there is not much in there to use, so use it over and over and over.

  it was a perfect spring day, and a jazz band were playing in the mall near my work.

  in front of the band, two watchtower literature carts stood in solidarity.

  i could not work out who were the jws attending them.

  Yep, it's all about getting the literature to the people at lowest costs.

  Not about actual witnessing or teaching.

  Why Is Alcoholism Deeply Embeded In JW Culture?

  by RottenRiley in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we get plenty of company men passing through our circuit, often filled with misinformation and lugging around a suitcase of guilt, they bring more guilt to the weak while praising the braggart pioneers and slapping the "righteous over much" elders.

  why are the wrong people getting praise in this distorted community?

  i know for a fact many of the elders i served with have issues with alcoholism, when "brother guilt" brought his emotional hurricane through our circuit, i had the chance to eat and help pay for his "seven shots of tequila", both him and his wife were not immune to over-indulgences.

  I don't and never have drank alcohol so it is not embedded.

  "Prince is not a JW "really" is he?"

  I saw him at a meeting 10 years ago. What more does there need to be to qualify?

  i'm thinking about going to church again because i'm really interested in god (today)!!.

  sometimes i'm so confused and feel like there is no god, other days i do and want to try and get to know him.. i guess i'm scared because of all the bs that went on in the kh.. there is a local baptist church near me that seems nice.

  i'm in the uk.

  It irritates me that people contribute to the WTBTS when they could do better with it by helping those in need like their local animal shelters.

  I wasn't shocked by it but I am shocked by people over reacting to it.
