tracing all things with accuracy.
jesus said that the faithful slave would be discreet in giving the domestics their food at the proper time.
The story about Newton and the atheist was in the old 192 page creation book. I think it was teal or turquoise. It was definitely in there. I used it many times in one of my talks. Of course, I believed at the time it was an accurate account because I had faith in the WTBTS.
Not any more, no siree bob, No more, no more!
so i was just informed by my wife that her grandmother (who's also out) has been told by a 'sister' from her old hall that during their most recent circuit visit the co said something along the lines of:.
isn't it faith strengthening that the number of anointed is falling in relation to the increase in publishers?
!.
Facts don't really matter when you can just make stuff up to support you beliefs.
How convenient is that!
i find that when talking people who say they "used to be a jehovah's witness" they say words that show they have in fact, never been one.
it's like a man that worked for the post office for 30 years in a main major urban hub like chicago or new york... and you ask him, "in your last position, what was your rdo?
" and the man says "whats an rdo?".
ARS, thank you so much for the lesson on jargon for specific religious groups, fields of study and/or philanthropic endeavor, professional trades and rock & roll groupies. It's been oh so very informative.
Can you please also instruct us regarding the appropriate jargon for internet trolls of limited intelligence and even lower moral acumen? None of us here are very experienced in these matters and you are clearly a zen master.
Thank you in advance for sharing your superior wisdom and knowledge.
We are eternally grateful.

ARS, you really need to stop drinking when you post, or stop posting when you drink.
Either way, give it up.
Your incoherent rants are embarrassing to people that want to have an intelligent conversation.
Seriously. Get the clue.
watchtower never learns.. i applaud dr. singh for speaking out and his open letter to watchtower.

ARS: do ANY of you ever look up ANYTHING on your own?
Only all the time, and not in the WT. That's the nice thing about being out of the cult. I can Fact Check using independently verifiable sources.
This is something no JW can do, at least not with serious consequences.
"there have been repeated scientific challenges to the.
theory of evolution in the past, and the nonbelievers of evo-.
lution cite them as support for their case.
Where to begin ...
OK, I'll start here:
First of all, what's with the "R"? Is this like Toys-R-Us?
Atheists-R-Stupid. What, are you opening a store? Silly.
Next, it should either be, "atheists ARE stupid" or "an atheist IS stupid." We're talking basic SUBJECT-VERB agreement here. Grammar 101.
That being said, showing up on a forum of ex- and wish-they-were-ex-Jehovah's Witnesses and insulting atheists is not good form. In and of itself, I would posit that your choice of a JWN username is prima facie evidence of a cognitive deficit on your part. At the very least it shows poor social skills.
Finally, apparently you didn't take a minute and take the temperature of the room before you entered.
There are many here among us that are NOT atheists.
Get the clue.
i have have come to realize most "rank and file" jw's are mentally unstable-to-ill and here is why.... http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/mental-issues.php.

Mental illnesses are serious conditions that can only be diagnosed by a trained medical professional experienced in dealing with the specific disorders under question.
So unless your a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist or a member of the Governing Body, refrain from doling out medical diagnoses without a first-hand evaluation.
BTW, we should all be in awe of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses because they are able to diagnose "mental disease" without even personally examining the individuals that have it. Must be God's Holy Spirit!
fine.

just learned today direct from my beloved daughter that she has been abused between 5 and 12 years old by 2 brothers (her own cousins) and 1 family "friend".
she has attempted suicide a few days ago.
luckily she is living and she is not physically injured.
Nathan Natas, why are you being such an unempathetic asshole?
TFA, I'm sorry you're dealing with this, but I'm glad your daughter is improved. Try to ignore the insensitive comments of NN. What a jerk.
