NOVEMBER 14, 2013 | PHILIPPINES

Super Typhoon Haiyan Pummels Central Philippines

MANILA, Philippines — Super Typhoon Haiyan (called Yolanda in the Philippines), one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall, ripped through the Philippines on November 8, 2013.

As of November 13, 2013, the Philippines branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Manila reported that 27 Witnesses have been confirmed dead. Well over 100 homes of the Witnesses and five places of worship were destroyed.

These JWs died at the Kingdom Hall when the building was destroyed during the typhoon. Why? Because that's where the GB told the brothers to go!!!

I guess Jehovah was on vacation during this event and was not available to offer any protection.

For more than two hundred years earlier those Israelites had served as Egyptian slaves. Now, they were free.

Conveniently, the talk fails to mention that being under Jehovah's arrangement for just a few days resulted in the Israelites wanting to go back to Egypt and becomes slaves to Pharoah again !

Egypt: 1

Jehovah: 0

Really weird sentence

by Moses Joe in

jw
friends

i've been absent from meetings recently because i'm having serious life challenges that make me really not want to have to deal with all of the people and the sitting.

i had made an attempt to, "simplify my life" that rather than being blessed was meant with unemployment.

lol.. anyway, i finally got tired of all the phone calls checking up on me and sent a message to someone explaining that i just wanted to be left alone (an elder).

Paris: Do not communicate with the Cult. Change your phone number and if possible your name and locate to a different State, or country if possible. Just pack up your car with essential belongings and get out of town and keep driving. Do not look back.

Essentially, doesn't this mean that the cult is still controlling his life? Why advise M-Joe to relocate, change his name, etc? It's absurdly extreme and completely unnecessary. Following this advice, despite having made an exit, the WT is still the Master.

Fading from WT is so incredibly easy. Do what I did: simply stop going to meetings and stop communicating with JWs. They'll quickly lose interest in you and before long you won't even be a distant memory.

There's one thing that is assured with JWs: their "love" is conditional, their interest in you as a person is superficial. A JWs only value is being a dutiful slave to WT's interests. Stop being a slave and your worth to your "brothers" will evaporate in a nanosecond.

Quit worshipping the GB or supporting the group and you'll quickly be relegated to the "he's not one of us anymore" category.

M-Joe: live your life. do what you want to do, don't let this ridiculous pseudo-religion and its retarded minions determine any longer the choices you make.

the insanity of Sam herds talks at the convention

by purrpurr in

i've picked up two that stood out to me but i'm sure others will have noticed more:.

he gave an illustration about fearing god and he said it is like a wife who has spent all day preparing the evening meal for her husband and she hears him come home and perhaps she is trembling a bit out of fear that he might not like the meal she has cooked for him....!!!!!!!!????.

the other was about verbal abuse and how it should not be used but rather than site the effect it has or the forms it can take he said that we shouldn't call each other " dumb dumb" or "knuckle head" .

Maybe Sam Herd is confused. He was probably talking about what it's like to be a rank-and-file Publisher under the tyrannical authority of the GB.

DATA-DOG: My first act will be to kick him in the nuts.

DD: sorry brother, but he's gotta have 'em in order for you to kick them.

Like LisaRose said:

It's annoying when people come and start a thread but don't stay and defend their OP, even when legitimate arguments are made.

What happens when a JW meets someone at the door who actually knows their Bible and asks hard-hitting questions? The JW never goes back. No surprise they use the same tactic on online forums.

A JW simply cannot defend their own beliefs, so their only recourse is to tuck tail and run.

Hey D-M Paris :

ADCMS: Have you located that information yet 'proving' your claim that no (atheist) Chinese has invented anything in the last 1,000 years? I'm dying to read that....

.

LOL. Sucks when I have to quote myself.

Again, my apologies, Dis-Member. I hope the brief time you spent in "Paris-Land" due to my error woke you up and helped you to appreciate this side of "normal". LOL.
