New "Caleb and Sofia" video on JW.ORG....you have to see it!

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so i dont want to be a negative bitter person...and we all love little kids, but i am just so torn about the new video just uploaded on jw.org.

if you havent watched it yet, have a look at it...."an animated series that touches hearts".

(yes, its well done...and they certainly like to do a lot of boasting about their technical skills etc...).

Knorr, Franz, et al, must be spinning in their graves at all this.

No, they are in Heaven ruling over all of us pond scum as powerful kings, remember?

Evolution: A Satanic Theory

by cofty in

there is an excellent new article at jehovah's trumpet.... friends, the following article is not about masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, or homosexuality so it may not be appropriate for children.

please use godly wisdom when deciding if your child is mature enough to consider this material.

we are going to have a frank discussion about the theory of evolution.... .

AndDontCallMeShirley

The best protection against evidence is to stay spiritually strong

LOL !

Yet, we may ask ourselves, why does the Theory of Evolution sometimes prove more seductive than fornication?

Solution: WT needs to come up with a Theory of Fornication to seduce people back from Evolution.....

"an animated series of videos to help children apply Bible principles."

.

I learned a boatload of Bible priciples from this video. Thank you, Jehovah™, for making really cheesy videos instead of doing anything important that really matters.

Strange story from Assembly

by Clambake in

i am at the assembly and the last speaker of the day is doing some boring and cliche talk about trusting in jehovah and not being anxious and stuff.

then he starts into this story about this 11 year old boy named nigel who has cancer and is going to have a court ordered blood transfusion.. i am getting up to leave because i am thinking he is going to start into some story about he managed to get out of it and died for jehovah or something like that.

the speaker never finishes the story about what finally happened.

@ NT: I definitely think a chocolate cream pie should be thrown into the face of Anthony (Tight pants) Morris 'The Turd'

Frankly, (pun intended) I'd rather like to see him pelted to a pulp by a relentless barrage of hot dogs.....

From Amherst Maine, no that's Massachusetts, errors galore from platform, warning to Russians not to take Ukrainian's Bibles

by oppostate in

i went to the whole three days of regional convention in amherst ma.

mostly i slept through the talks, and i did get a lot of exercise walking around the concourse area looking for a bathroom that didn't have an exesive wainint line to go pee, yes, at this convention even the men's rooms had waiting lines!!!

it seemed like a full third of the audience was perpetually walking around and socializing during the program.. there were so many errors, so many speakers tripping over their words from the manuscripts they were reading.

AndDontCallMeShirley

@ Crazyguy: why do they even have bibles anymore, most of thier doctrine is man made...

.

Precisely. WT says that no one can read their Bible and understand it on their own. Only the GB can explain it. Really, what this means is a JW is wasting their time by doing any Bible reading whatsover.

Pets aren't people, says speaker at Regional Convention. Fido and Mimi better watch out! And instead of drinking wine or beer go do some gardening or play golf.

by oppostate in

a big discussion driving back from the regional convention about what exactly was meant about pets.. the warning was obvious to me.

don't get pets, they cost time and money and you would do better to spend your time and money supporting the organization and going in field service.. as to the wine and beer, because the bro during his soliloquy admitted that the first thing he would like to do is relax after a hectic day at work with a glass of wine or beer, his conscience was traumatized.

however he came up with a perfect idea, he'd go tend the garden (obviously a solution for a married bro) or hit some golfballs at the driving range (maybe he's not married).. maybe jesus should have told the wine guzzlers at cana to sober up and go till the fields.. .

@ stuck: how the f#$k can men living in Bethel, who dont have pets, presume to write talks about not getting attached to pets!

.

By the same way that men living in Bethel, who don't have children (and probably never will), presume to write talks about how to raise children.

@ dagney:Is there a place I can find that? I send this thread and the other recent threads to a JW today. I would love to be able to show them the $1.2 billion figure.

.

An online search will get you a lot of info. The Brooklyn news outlets have reported on all WT real estate sales, including the dollar figures. To date WT has actually sold well over $800 million worth of properties. Here's one article:

http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/34/32/dtg_bridgeparkdealmain_2011_08_12_bk.html

"The deal calls for the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society ’ s holdings in Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO to be rezoned for residential use — a change that real-estate experts believe will send the value of the Society ’ s properties well north of $1 billion."

This will be a GREAT organization!

by Kensho in

when...... 1) we follow christ example not the gb.

2) stop df'ing those for challenging current or past doctrine and allow us to use our god given gift of reason and free wil.

sure kick out the scumbags even the lions club have rules for membership, but not those who just use their brains and consience.. 3) get rid of the nonsensical blood teaching that has cost the lives of thousands and beg god for forgiveness.

@ DoT: ADCMS said:"No JWs...donate to charities."
Just have to point out, that is completely untrue. I have done, and still do. So do some of my friends and family that are Witnesses. No need to exaggerate, you're more intelligient than that.

.
Point taken. I was going off personal experience and observation. The JWs I've known consider donations to the WT to be the best, and only, way to give money to "charity". ' "Worldly" charities are corrupt, so why give them money?', etc.

I was not intentionally exaggerating, but I did make an unfair blanket statement.
