  "Smash The Old World"

  by cofty in

  2. current

  during mao's cultural revolution images of the past were destroyed by the red guard.

  temples and churches were looted and religious statues destroyed.. this image was taken by li zhengshen at the jile temple in august 1966. the sign on the wall translates as "smash the old world".. will the left never learn?.

  Cofty, Are there any possible scenarios where it would be ok to remove a statue or an image from a public place?

  This convention talk offended me

  by Isambard Crater in

  here are my notes from the r.c yesterday, the talk called "jehovah – the greatest example of endurance".

  many of you will understand why i found it offensive.. jehovah has taken the hard option of choosing to endure:.

  reproach to his holy name.

  Kinda hard to reproach a name that no one actually knows how to pronounce.

  Oh, and Jehoober watches genetic defects happen in humans, that must be tough. The "removing of perfection" ramifications was totally under his control, thus making him completely and solely responsible for things like Down syndrome. I guess his guilt must be pretty rough on himself as well.

  Traslation dep in Brazilian branch, W0517

  by Ray Frankz in

  i got shocked when i read the article of the watchtower study of this week.

  that's because i read this: the highlights are mine.. quando jesus esteve na terra, ele disse que nos últimos dias o amor da maioria das pessoas ia esfriar.

  (mateus 24:3, 12) isso começou a acontecer com os judeus nos dias dos apóstolos.

  They've got back and forth on this one, whether it even applies to jws or Christendom.

  The article also says that "some" jws have allowed their love to grow cold. If they are looking for fulfillment of this prophecy, they should say "most" have done so.

  Always with the bullshit the jws are.

  "how can i engage with worldly people when they are just not interested in discussing these important topics as featured in the watchtower and awake?.

  my thought bubble in the 2010s:.

  Are Witnesses TRULY Honest, Humble and Hungry? (The 3 H's)

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how many times did we hear the worn out expression "that anyone who accepts the "truth" needs to have the 3 h's".

  yes, they must be "honest hearted.

  hungry for truth, and humble enough to accept that they need to change".

  Honest? No, not with themselves, nor reality.

  Humble? No, not humble enough to change their mind when presented with facts.

  Hungry? No, not for data, evidence, facts, or anything else that doesn't fit their preconceived notions.

  What they are looking for in their canvassing is the two Ds. Dumb and desperate.

  Choose Freedom, Choose Happiness (my book)

  by Faith after Deception in

  choose freedom, choose happiness.

  after finally leaving, it can be tempting to “hibernate”.

  we attempt to turn the page, “move on” and create a new life for ourselves.

  Jehovah's Witnesses act like 'Flirts' with people!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we were just musing that jws act in a "flirtatious" manner with people in the community.. they show such "sincere" interest in people when they call.

  they seem like such kind, caring and thoughtful people - really interested in their lives and welfare.. people are often quite impressed with the jws manner, and their well dressed presentation.

  people (especially vulnerable ones who are going through difficult pressures in life), are drawn in and made to feel special by the witnesses as they call back.. return visits take place.

  I bought a shitty car one time because the sales lady was hot and flirted with me subtly. Not immediately, not aggressively, but in controlled moments. She did it right.

  How many times has some hot young JW lady gave me an RV and be like: "this shit ain't goin' nowhere with me".

  Google "flirty fishing" if you wish to see the most extreme example of religious recruitment.

  Hopefully the Republicans can get silencers legalized. A bill they are working on right now. It sucks that spree killers have to make so much noise once they get going. Easily available silencers, that's the ticket!
