  Questions to ask God while in a Lucid Dream...?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  assume that all 'visions' in the bible, including revelation, etc, were actually real and they happened while those people were lucid dreaming or in a lucid state.

  assume that if god or angels were to speak to you, that is the way in which they would do it.

  the 3 questions are about anything and the proof question is asking him something so you can verify the answer or the answer will give you absolute proof that it was him you were speaking to and it was not just in your subconscious making him up and the answers.

  @ MadGiant: lol ! Your questions cut right to the point. It doesn't take much to expose the absurdity that is 'god':

  .

  1. Why you are such an asshole? (Yes, yes you are) Come on, A naked lady eat a piece of fruit, and doomed humanity for generations to come, please.

  What, you can think of a better reason not to condemn billions of people to a life of misery and eventual death spanning eons of time?

  2. If you know the outcome of the game (us humans), why keep playing?

  See point #1, "asshole".

  3. Why you had to sacrifice (you/your son), don't you think that a simple "I forgive you all" would suffice?

  Just forgive? With no blood? No death? No pain and misery? Are you kidding? What planet are you from?

  Biblical verses my JW mom gave me for shunning

  by bsand20 in

  john 2:9-11-anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister[a] is still in the darkness.

  10 anyone who loves their brother and sister[b] lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.

  11 but anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness.

  Punkie: So, where is the scripture that states you should shun family because 3 men in a back room that work for watchtower corporation say so?

  .

  It's most likely in the rNWT somewhere....

  .

  On this subject, one might as well start out by saying, "I was reading a quote from Peter Pan about shunning, so that's my basis for doing it too...."

  It has about as much validity as quoting the Bible as a basis for any argument.

  my mom has not been to any meetings or participated in field service since august 2013. she cannot walk due to all her medical conditions.

  she is either in bed or sitting in a wheel chair.. our family hired a caretaker monday - friday to help her eat, take her to the bathroom and sit with her in case she needs anything.

  in the evenings and weekends, we have family members take care of her.

  Numbers are so important to the WT Corporation because it is shrinking every year. Demanding 15 minutes of FS time from a sickly elderly JW is still 15 minutes on the WT's monthly spreadsheet.

  To the WT, individual JWs are just 'worker units', not people. They exist solely to serve the interests of the Corporation, nothing more.

  Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

  The Holy Spirit must have given the GB a heads up...after 133 years WT is still in the dark as to when Armageddon is coming, but at least they know when their own videos are being shredded on non-JW sites....

  Donation of blood fractions

  by why144000 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this may be the wrong area for this but here goes.. if you went to a bank and told them " i don't have an account with you, i never will have an account with you and i will tell people you are a terrible bank" then ask not for a loan from them, but a gift of a lot of money, how do you think they would respond?.

  yet, witnesses now have the the ability to take blood fractions from the blood bank without ever contributing to the blood bank.

  there is a process that the blood bank takes just the plasma from a donor to be used for fractions only.

  It's the traditional WT/JW mindset: condemn the entire world as "Satan's system of things", call it evil, unjust and bent on wiping out JWs, yet beat a path to the door to be the first in line if the WT/JW can benefit from that very system (sepecially if it's a freebie).

  Expect more Crazy as JW.ORG trims the fat and fills the coffers.

  when rutherford assumed the presidency of the watchtower society he instituted series of sweeping changes to the teachings and practices of the bible students.

  some of these changes were at complete odds with what had been taught previously.

  a key example was the elevation of the watchtower society as "god's visible organization on earth".

  the branch feels there is a net decrease of 5% in the last five years

  .

  Let's not forget, as Ray Franz documented in CoC, that falling numbers in the 1960's were the entire foundation for formulating the 1975/Armageddon nonsense. The WT needed to do something to bring people back and get the numbers up- what better way to do that than to declare the End was near and only WT had salvation.

  Desperate thinking leads to desperate actions. There's no predicting what WT will do in the future, except that the absurdity will reach epic levels.

  They will never dump Jehovah's Witnesses as their name

  .

  I'm sure the IBSA said the very same thing...right up to the point they were re-branded as "Jehovah's Witnesses".

  Once "New Light"™ shows up, all bets are off. Anything is possible.
