the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).
before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.
first, the reason i think it should be shown:.
@ Outlaw: Anyone using the Pirate Flag..Has to send me a Bottle of "Captain Morgans Spiced Rum"..
Mail it to: OUTLAW in Canada on a Mountain..The postman knows where I live..
I publicly supported Outlaw's idea and I'm moving next door to him.
Send two.
yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.
many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.
but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.
DocHouse, I notice that you've spoken quite a bit about 'Churchianity' but nothing about Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam. Why is this?
DH: Those religions are complete fabrications.
Which makes the title of this thread even more hilarious:
Still pointing your Finger when having a Rafter in your eye?
Hey, DorkHouse: are you the kettle or the pot?

DorkHouse's potential retort:
'Well, WT got "most of" Romans 14:8 correct, so just ignore the "baloney"/"absurd"/bulls**t parts.'

to DorkHouse:
"The freest anyone ever is occurs when they care enough about their integrity to search for the truth.
The most enslaved anyone ever is occurs when they are constrained enough to announce they've found the truth and, to protect their pride, stop the search."

And Shirley brings the games back.
No games. I'm exposing your false assertions.
MOST of what the WT teaches is true- but a lot of baloney has been added. Again.
Please make a list of the "most of's" for us... and why you think healthy doses of bulls**t are acceptable in an organization that is supposed to be teaching 100% truth.
Only vidiots rest their views on videos.
Why not TELL us all what the so-called 'gospel' of Churchianity is, hmmmmmmmmm?
I don't rest my views on videos- they are an additional evidence. But, this one is a clear, real-world example that shows how ignorant your claims are.
BTW- your question about the gospel of Christianity is also answered in the video... and if you weren't so obviously uninterested in confusing your present mindset with facts you'd already know this.
this is going around the kingdom halls now, i thought it was a hoax but are not all the end time dates produced by the organization some hoax or con?
the reason why the end did not come in 1975 was the watchtower society had not put eve's creation in their equation.
i was told when we had a "meet and greet" if "we knew the date of eve's creation we would know the year jehovah was going to destroy the earth.. it's been 40 years since 1975, can you believe it's been 40 years since "stay alive till 1975!"?
Vidiot: Yeah; say what you will, but the guy never did anything half-assed.
He seemed to have no problem diving headfirst into an unfamiliar creek... despite the fact it obviously had no water in it.
"that which can be asserted without evidence, can.
be dismissed without evidence.

Thanks everyone for your comments and for occasionally resurrecting my story on this thread. I'm glad my story resonates with members here and hopefully it has, or will, help those struggling with their lives in regard to WT.
I appreciate all of you very much...

@ DorkHouse: The Truth stands on its own- but a lot of absurd opinion is still being ADDED to it...you are corrtect on the baloney the WTBS has ADDED to the good news. Yet Churchianity doesn't even KNOW about the good news.
So, in you opinion, what WT teaches is "absurd" and "baloney", yet it's still truth??? Please correlate those two diametrically opposed concepts...
@DorkHouse: 1914 IS pinpointed in Daniel's prophecies.
Read every Bible you can get a hold of... not one will mention the date 1914. It is a fictional date arrived at by dishonest mental gymnastics and pure fantasy.
Just curious: why do you accept the 1914 date WT teaches? Isn't this the same organization that is, by your own admission, full of baloney and absurdities??
As far as your argument that WT/JWs preach the good news and all other Christians are clueless, I beg to differ. This video absolutely obliterates your claim on both accounts. Watch what happens at 3:45 in the video (watch the entire thing to put it in context):

@ bohm: Kate, seeing you have read my 5800 posts and determined i have provided no revealing details, perhaps you could just read everyones posts and determine for us all if this was a problem?
I've already done it. It took me about two hours to do it but it got done.
Everyone's good to go, no dangerous information revealed from anyone.
