I read lips and speak Korean. I'm pretty sure he's saying, "This article is pure bullsh*t !!!! Did T-Mo3 write this crap?! I'm 5 years-old and can see right through this idiotic bovine residue."

P.31:
"Some brothers have likewise waited to find an appropriate mate. Bill from Australia is one such brother... Bill waited for 30 years before he met a sister with whom he was compatible."
30 years?!?! WTF ! 30 YEARS?! Again I ask- WTF ? !
That's the best the all-powerful, "loving" god Jehovah could do for his friend Bill? I'm truly underwhelmed.
"compatible" = she is a JW. That's it. Nothing more.
Bill says: “I have no regrets.” He explains: “I feel blessed because we go out in the ministry together, study together, and worship together. I am happy to meet and associate with my wife’s friends because they are all fellow worshippers of Jehovah. We work on our marriage using Bible principles.”
The Lie: “I have no regrets.” Reality: Bill is now so old he doesn't know what "regrets" means.
Notice that he doesn't say he actually loves his wife and found his soulmate. Nope! His dream girl (old woman) goes to the meetings and door-to-door... that's what Billy dreamed of his entire life. He set the bar so low that disappointment was virtually impossible.
"Dear Jehovah: please find me a woman with a pulse, that's all I ask. Thank you." --Your gullible friend, Bill.
Oh, and she has friends. Wow, Bill. Awesome, dude! You found a keeper.

It's astounding that WT prints this kind of rubbish considering that TMo3 recently said that any JW woman considering marrying a man who is not at least a Ministerial Servant is making a bad decision. A man who is not an MS or elder is not a man.
That, coupled with the laundry list of other rules, written and unwritten, that JWs must adhere to Re: dating/marriage, and WT remains befuddled why JWs are exasperated? JWs don't marry for love... they marry for the Organization. Not a great start.
Is the WT cult going away? No. There will always be gullible people who need someone else to do their thinking for them; there will always be people that guide themselves by fantasy and childish stories rather than grown-up reality.
Is the GB losing their grip? Yes. Fortunately, the ones who see through the nonsense leave the Org, but the GB still holds absolute influence over those that stay...and the cycle of abuse perpetuates ad nauseum.

Be honest post do all posters on this site believe the bible is 100% or has flaws?
by booker-t inwe in the psychology/sociology field have a saying "when people protest too loud usually they are overcompensating".
i did not understand that when i first started studying psychology but now i understand it completely and it is so true.
when i hear someone constantly bashing something or someone such as gay bashing or ethnic bashing or religion bashing sometimes i wonder what are they hiding.

Ironically, the Bible as it is today, was compiled and canonized by the Catholic Church, the same Catholic Church that WT says is foremost among apostate Christendom.
[edit] DD, you beat me to it. You dog you ! LOL.

When did the Watch Tower society start posting on You tube?
by adjusted knowledge ini just found videos posted by the society on you tube.
i didn't even know they had an account there.
of course they don't allow comments.

the speaker warns about all recordings. He even stated the same regarding notes. That you couldn't distribute notes.
Odd directions, considering the WT claims to be spreading a "life saving" message that must be preached before the just-around-the-corner, coming-soon-anyday-now event of Armageddon occurs.
'It's a vital message from god...but please don't talk about it'.
Uh huh.

LET'S HELP JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TO LOVE APOSTATES
by Terry insimple application of logic to scripture interpretation:.
if two terms mean the same thing it should not change the meaning to exchange one word for the other.. first, jesus lays the foundation for us.
let us read.. luke 6:27-37 "but i say to you who are listening, continue to love your enemies , to do good to those hating you, to bless those cursing you, to pray for those who are insulting you.

What if every time the Watchtower was about to print the word APOSTATE, instead they printed STRAY SHEEP?
Or, simply: fellow human being.
It's best to take religious/Bible references completely out of it. That way a JW might be able to think straight.
Of course, now we've stepped way over the line into The Twilight Zone, right??
Your point is well taken, though, Terry. The constant terminology JWs are hammered with colors their world and shapes their thinking in how they view people. Simple changes would make a huge difference...but said changes run counter to the agenda of WT, Inc. WT isn't in the love and, "can't we all just get along?" business.

What do you think the chances are any JW would read it that way. . . EVER?
1. it's in the Bible, so it's unlikely a JW will actually read it.
2. the GB will never, ever tell JWs to read it that way so JWs will never, ever see it that way.
3. JWs have had this scripture available to them as long as they've existed. If they haven't seen it up to now, they won't with more time.
4.
Obstacle #1 for JWs: Continue becoming merciful
Obstacle #2 for JWs: stop judging
Obstacle #3 for JWs: stop condemning
Without these foundational tenets, what reason does a person have to be a Jehovah's Witness?
Going through life without being able to condemn and judge others would simply be: no fun. Provincialism is the last bastion of the weak...and without it JWs lose their entire identity.

Other than that, you make a great point, Terry.

All workers are being told NOTHING BUT THE BEST WILL DO!
Hey, when labor is free, and maybe a lot of the materials too, why not demand the very best?
WT will fetch a higher sales price when it liquidates the property in a few years (at Jehovah's direction, of course).

My problem with Original Sin
by leftbelow ini found this quote in a book i was reading and it struck me this is why original sin is a problem for me.. damnation is the start of your morality, destruction is its purpose, means and end.
your code begins by damning man as evil, then demands that he practice a good which it defines as impossible for him to practice.
it demands, as his first proof of virtue, that he accept his own depravity without proof.

Your code begins... demands that he start, not with a standard of value, but with a standard of evil
This is the insidious and destructive nature of religion and the fairytales it builds itself on.
Imagine how much better the world would be if the converse was taught as truth rather than the current lie: namely, that we all have worth beyond measure and have only to embrace and use it?
