Atheists and JWs are on the same footing!

by exWTslave in

atheists believe that god should stop the large-scale injustice on earth; if he does'nt, then he does not exist.

jws believe that god will intervene sometime in the last days!.

interestingly, both throw themselves on their own expectation of soemthing god should or will do, yet in fact something god does not have to do.

ex current WT slave: Otherwise things such as anger and alcohol .... would have long disappeared from the surface of the earth.

.

You seem to have a personal gripe with alcohol. You do realize fermentation of sugars to alcohol is a naturally occuring process created by your alleged god, do you not?

I have a question for you, CurrentWTslave: What was Jesus first miracle?*

Answer that question then attempt another rant about alcohol, if you dare.

--

* not that I believe it, just using the Bible-thumping Christian's own book to prove the idiocy of their arguments.

Did the organization admit declining growth and stagnation in today's watchtower?

did anyone catch this quote?

"over seven and a half million witnesses of jehovah really have found him and they truly love him.".

why are they no longer touting "nearly 8 million" witnesses?

AndDontCallMeShirley

7,965,954—Jehovah’s Witnesses

Just be glad WT hasn't rounded this up to "9 million".

Since WT is no doubt fudging the real numbers anyway, statements placing the number of JWs anywhere between 7.5 million and 8 million is perfectly acceptable. No point in arguing fictitious statistics.

Which is it?

darkspilver? or, DarK SpliveR?

Pretty hard to take a poster seriously who can't spell his own name correctly.

Spliver, spilver...whatever.

God listens and RESPONDS to your prayer if you know how to log on to Him! Here is the proof.

by exWTslave in

all my family members and friends (that include some elders) advised me to divorce my wife whose only joy was to pick up fight with me for everything i do, except my grand-mother who said: when you married her, you looked for only her good pointher regular pioneering despite having an opposing family.

for being good, you will ultimately reap something far better through her.

stick on to her.

AndDontCallMeShirley

that is the power of mind, the exact representation of God's very being. Mind is also a creator, if it decides I am going to forget everything, everything is forgotten

And there you have it. An atheist can use the same methodology to attain the same result. Your mind made the alleged change...no god required.

I'm curious: why is it that you had to endure all the suffering and you had to do all the work to fix it, but "god" gets the credit? I'll bet you never once blamed god when things were going horribly, did you?

Dis-Member: Are you also saying that God just sat there and let you suffer 18 years of abject marital misery simply because you did not know how to 'log in'.

The religious make their arguments, based on fantasy, and tell their stories "proving" the greatness of god, but their own stories reveal him to be a dick. Gullible x infinity.

D2D Visit - The 'Preaching' Lives On?

by Joe Grundy in

just had an interesting (?

) visit.. 1.30pm, i was outside the front of my house on a small housing estate doing man-stuff on the car.

three young guys (maybe 16-18 or so) wearing long-sleeved shirts approached.

AndDontCallMeShirley

Once again, JWs visiting people . . .but no time to talk to the person who asks for a visit in person right now?

JWs are so busy distributing "JW.Org" flyers encouraging people to visit "JW.Org" and request a visit from JWs that JWs don't have time to actually visit them!

Welcome to WT Land...please buckle your safety belt and keep your hands in the car at all times.

a bit confused; rabbit in headlights look; seemed quite nervous; ... and off they went

Just think how bad it would be if JWs weren't the "best trained", "most educated" preachers in the world.

Question for Jehovah's Witnesses: Can you ask for the aid of the holy spirit?

by opusdei1972 in

there are interesting claims in the watctower, august 2014:.

2 today, jehovah guides his people by means of the bible, his holy spirit, and the congregation.

(acts 9:31; 15:28; 2 tim.

AndDontCallMeShirley

The guidance that we receive from him is so clear that it is as if ‘our own ears hear a word behind us saying: "This is the way. Walk in it."’ (Isa. 30:21) In effect, Jesus also conveys Jehovah’s voice to us as he directs the congregation through "the faithful and discreet slave."

Ironically, the guidance from holy spirit that is allegedly "so clear" didn't let the WT know until just last year what the true identity of the faithful slave actually is (exclusively the governing body, not all anointed ones). 133 years of bad information taught as truth, but actually grade A B.S.

When did Jesus appoint his faithful and discreet slave?. According to the recent new light, it was in 1919:

Since, according to "new light" (2013 vintage), the governing body is the faithful slave, and there was no governing body in 1919, then Jesus had no one to appoint over anything. Oops. WT didn't think that one through.

Guidance from holy spirit: clear as mud.

Not on JW.ORG: Drug dealing Jehovah's Witnesses on trial for Murder. Spiritual Paradise?

by Balaamsass2 in

prosecutors seek death penalty against twin brothers in altamonte shootingchristopher and manuel "manny" rodriguez jr. turn 20 on thursdayaugust 5, 2014|by rene stutzman, orlando sentinel.

sanford christopher and manuel rodriguez jr. are twin brothers, born three minutes apart nearly 20 years ago.

they grew up together in altamonte springs and are practicing jehovah's witnesses.. if prosecutors have their way, both will wind up on death row in a few months after a daring, spur-of-the-moment shooting in broad daylight jan. 20 on one of the busiest stretches of road in central florida: state road 436 less than a half-mile west of interstate 4.. .

AndDontCallMeShirley

Maybe they were dealing drugs to support their Pioneering.

Except for a dozen eye witnesses, a partial confession, and a video, I guess these upstanding "Brothers" are innocent till proven guilty

Yes, but they will not be subjected to a Judicial Committee because of the Watchtower's "13 witness" rule.
