  "Do you believe that the 'faithful slave' is God's channel of communication?"

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a jw had the nerve to ask me this question, i'd say to them, "you go first.

  using only scriptural proof, show me why you believe that the wtbts/ccojw is god's choice and i'll tell you if i agree with your scriptural reasoning.".

  wait for the silence and the rabbit in the headlights moment.. i searched on the wt cd rom for references of "channel of communication.".

  This is a really odd discursion. It is a circle reasoning about the beard of the prophet. Why…

  Because, there are no God,s…because there are no wholly books..

  All religions are like homeopathies, astrology, and horoscopes

  this last tuesday was one of the most stressful and sad days of our life when we had our lab morgan put to sleep.

  she was so sick and out of it we just had to do it.

  when i called the spca on monday to make a appointment to have her put to sleep i felt like i betrayed her.

  I am so sorry for your loss. I think I know your feelings. Our Lab was put asleep 2 years ago. His name was Ludde (short for Luddonium, Vulgaris, Brutalis, Bestialis, Royalis) He also became 14 years. The two last months he didn´t even tried to follow me in my daily walk in our forest. He looked at me with his very sad brown eyes, and tried to explain that his legs could carry him and that I should have to carry him on my back if I wanted to take him with me. Now we are looking for a successor, If anything can supersede our Ludde….

  Fact is that Trump during election time loved wikileaks…. In the latest interview he didn´t even know that wikileaks existed as an organization. Could it possibly be so that he suffer from dementia ?

  i've been a member of this board three years longer than i was a jehovah's witness (eighteen vs fifteen).

  i'm sure i've put in more hours here than i did in field service, it was more fun as well.

  Yes you are quite right about ”western countries generally”, especially Scandinavian Countries and the Netherlands. For us it is quite funny to hear all of those “running for presidency” absolutely and obligatory must declare that “they have a faith in God” and especially that they are “true Christian”. (Bush, Trump and more). The habit of swearing an oath with your hands on the Bible in court and other places…..This is truly double standard… "the American way"

  climate change ... who doesn't believe it?

  crazy fools and science deniers ... right?.

  it seems like it's become the new religion, the new orthodoxy, that must be accepted and believed as gospel and preached to all.. is it ok to be skeptical?.

  Trying to influence an election is not a crime…..

  But accepting money and bluff information from a foreign country (Russia + oligarchs) …isn´t that a crime in the US?

  i am writing the post i have wanted to write for some time.

  it's a heartfelt note to those still attending meetings, still caught between the lines of watchtower and the world.

  those with kids or a spouse in the society..... despite being mentally out....those who have weighed up that there is too much to lose in leaving.
