  how often do you, ........ no not that, how often do look at this forum ?

  and how long does it last,....... no not that again (one track minds) how many looks are you addicted to a day?

  keep coming back to see anything new, or do you look at posters who you know from experience have comments that will interest you?.

  It's like the overlapping generations, now that some deep stuff. It's so deep no one understands it or can explain it. Only super spiritual men like Splane, Morris and Lett powered by the holy spirit can grasp the intricacies of this deep knowledge. We'd be lost without these gifts in men.

  it's up to some 800 zillion dollars now and hasn't suckered me in yet.

  i've been out of watchtower for some 38 years now and i suppose the lottery is one of their nonoze.

  i have nothing morally wrong against it or anyone who enjoys doing it.

  I started buying one per drawing, only because you never know. It would be nice. I just hope I'd be level headed about it.

  It's OK to be an Apostate ... but only if you're on the Governing Body

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  look at the governing body.

  none of them believe now what the wts believed back when they were born and later baptized.. so why aren't they disfellowshipped for apostasy?.

  simple - because the true beliefs are always taken to mean whatever they currently consider them to be.. think about it - they can never be apostates because whatever they decide to believe becomes "the truth" and anyone not believing it is then guilty of apostasy, even if they believe things the wts has taught them all their lives.. if you do believe in the bible and jesus story, do you think this is what he intended?

  Start with something like codeacademy.com. If you can go through that, you might be able to start building your own site. If not, find someone to do it.

  Why Rational People Buy Into Conspiracy Theories?

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife is taking a literature course at a local college.

  this was her final topic of the semester: why rational people buy into conspiracy theories?i automatically thought of this site and of jws.

  the jws i knew, were the kind of people that would believe in conspiracy theories, and i noticed a small following on this site.. the article that was referenced for this course was: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/magazine/why-rational-people-buy-into-conspiracy-theories.html?_r=0.

  I guess it all depends on the theory or the conspiracy. I do however believe that some could be true. If one wants to believe that none exist that's fine but don't treat me like a wacko if I choose to believe some.

  Since we're on an ex-jw forum, let's take that as an example. Are the JW leadership running a conspiracy? Damn right they are. The conspiracy is to keep members in the dark and suck every penny out of their pockets. Is it working? Yes it is. So if it can work on a small scale like the JWs, it can also work on a much larger scale.

  I keep to myself, observe and draw my own conclusions.

  Elder On Tablet During Prayer

  by jw07 in

  2. beliefs

  during a prayer in the kh all our eyes are supposed to be closed, right?

  i've never been one to fully my eyes during prayers.

  i'll close them down, but just enough that i can still peep around at what's happening without being noticed.. there's something i've noticed a certain elder doing for the second time now.

  Elders usually have the "god he knows me and he knows I'm right" attitude. They really are a bunch of hypocrites and I can't stand them. Chosen by holy spirit...yeah right.
