Atheists and JWs are on the same footing!
by exWTslave inatheists 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.

More JW bragging about the Landover, MD. convention. Please have barf bag at the ready before reading
by AndDontCallMeShirley inthe following e-mail is circulating among jws about the international convention at fedex stadium in landover, md.
note the all-too-familiar jw claims: everything they do (including the simple act of parking cars) is proof of jehovah'stm blessing, and everything wt did at the convention was the fastest, greatest, best ever.
oh, and the never-fails-to-get-mentioned alleged 'persecution'/resistance from some unnamed authority who tried to get in watchtower's way and hamper the effort...but jws prevailed anyway (as always):.

Pity Jehovah and his holy spirit can't coordinate a campaign to end global hunger and war. But parking? Like a boss.
In the words of Dirty Harry: "A man's god's got to know his limitations."
Jehovah™ knows his limitations so handles the hard stuff- waving an orange baton to direct the Prius precisely between the two white lines.
It makes one wonder how a JW ever parks their own car when they aren't at a convention?

Subject: International Convention in Landover, Maryland To:
Brothers, Some interesting facts and photos from the International Convention in Landover, Maryland. Truly it was directed by Holy Spirit. On Friday morning it seemed that the parking of all those in attendance would be chaotic at best all weekend. The authorities were poised to take control from the volunteers. But with cooperation and Jehovah's Holy Spirit, adjustments were made in the initial direction. From that point on there were minor issues that were quickly resolved by our brothers in administration and parking. On Sunday Jehovah's people parked an estimated 22,000 cars and 182 chartered buses - the most at any event in FedEx history. We also set another record. The fast ingress and egress of cars and buses in FedEx history. Truly a testimony to Jehovah's name and the direction of His spirit. The cooperation of departments, volunteers and our brothers and sisters coupled with Jehovah's spirit and direction has made an impression on all involved. This is not confidential information. Please share with the brothers and sisters.
------
The claims are easily debunked. .
>The parking lot at FedEx Stadium only has 22,000 parking spaces. Of course they were all filled.
.
> The stadium has a seating capacity of 91,000; there were aprox. 50,000 JWs in attendance. How can this possibly constitute "the most at any event in FedEx history" when the stadium was only at a little more than 50% capacity?
.
> Regarding parking: "The authorities were poised to take control from the volunteers". Patently false. A quick call to the stadium management revealed they had nothing to do with the parking arrangement and had no interest in 'taking control' from the JWs.
.
> "We also set another record. The fast ingress and egress of cars and buses in FedEx history." Compared to what? Notice that no evidence is offered, just a claim based on heresay. Fast compared to when a crowd of 91,000 people are using the stadium? Maybe. But since the parking lot only holds 22,000 cars regardless of the number of people attending events, no doubt filling the parking lot takes about the same time no matter who's doing the parking.
.
> If filling the parking lot to capacity and having a stadium filled to 50% capacity is evidence of direction by "holy spirit", does this mean organizers of the Super Bowl, Nascar races and soccer games with 200,000+ in attendance also have Jehovah's™ backing? Maybe even more than WT does? "Evidently".

"We're calling on your neighbours to promote a website"
by Simon inwow, it's true - they don't call to 'promote god's kingdom' anymore but just their website!.
we just had an old lady call and tell us that was exactly what they were doing and it has "lots of good things on their for children".
yeah, right ... sparlock?.

cofty: It's just that some of us have the courage an intellectual honesty to face up to the evidence
You'll have to explain "intellectual honesty" to CurrentWTslave...he's probably never heard that term before.
CurrentWTslave: "If evil and suffering exist, it proves man has chosen evil and its resultant suffering!"
"Yes, we choose to starve."

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?
by kneehighmiah indid 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?

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.

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

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.

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.
