Conversation on FB with a witness who doesn't know me

so on my facebook feed this morning pops up a picture with the words 'jehovahs witnesses the happiest people on earth' i have no idea why i can see this must have come from a friend of a friend!

anyway i take a quick peak at the comments, about 30 of them all saying the same jw propoganda.

then ,non jw, makes a comment about a terrible person she knows that is a jw and that jw's break up families and listen to man and not god.. jw replies: just because someone says they're from a certain faith doesn't mean they're living it.

Crazyguy

Nice try may get her thinking. In my experience one needs to stay on point and never ever say your an ex jw, their brain turns off at that point.

Aliens exist and YHWH (Jehovah) was one of them.

by Jehovah Was An Alien in

"the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning centre around which the known system of the planets revolve even as our suns planet obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits.

it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that is the place to which the inspired writer referred to when he said: "hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven" (2 chronicles6:21) ; and that it is the place to which job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "canst thou blind the sweet influences of pleiades, or loose the bands of orion" – job 38:31"

the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

Just fuse two chromosones in to one and bam you have humans, wait that's already been done. So maybe not so hard after all.

Advice needed

can someone tell me the scriptural basis (according to jw's) for shunning disassociated ones.

only asking because i don't remember (probably wasn't that interested) i'm sure the shunning in the scriptures was just applied to disfellowshipped.

i've only been out 3 years but i seem to have forgotten any scriptures or reasoning!

Crazyguy

I guess there a 1949 wt stating that shunning was pagan, would love to see and read it and compare it to today's teachings.

Its funny this subject because in some early Sumerian writings they talk about a couple of gods making man and how they we're having problems at first making ones that could not stand and had other problem's almost as if they we're working out the bugs. Could be alien's I guess,. Why not better then this Bible God.

KM 2005- Society discourages brothers from donating to Tsunami victims $$$$

by Witness 007 in

sitting in the hall i was shocked when i read this article.

kingdom ministry 2005 nov {after the tsunami and new orleans desaster witnesses sent millions to help brothers in these areas marking their envelopes "for the tsunami victims" etc.

the society realized since there are few witnesses in tsunami ravaged countries this money would be wasted helping muslims.

Crazyguy

They really are scum of the earth aren't they?!!!!! Also proof they aren't just delusional but con artists. Remember Katrina, no proof the Borg spent one dime to help.

OKAY, GAME OVER! The number one reason the New Testament amounts to bunk

by Terry in

for me, the dead giveaway is this.

jesus wrote nothing.. stop and think about that.. if jesus were the authentic messiah, his ministry would not simply be local.. his instructions, his mission, the details of his teachings would be too precious to risk leaving it in the hands of "men unlettered (illiterate) and ordinary (blue-collar yokels).".

jesus, were he the one and only hope of mankind, would be absolutely certain to write down with great simplicity and specificity the exact owner's manual necessary to rescue mankind.. never happened!.

Crazyguy

It could also be said if Jesus was real why didn't he tell people how to stop getting Depthera (not sure how it's spelled) . Anyway by telling his followers not to do their business near water and to boil water before drinking it he could have prevented millions of his followers from dieing and showed he truly was the son of a God.

It is 5am and I still can't sleep. Contemplating life, doing research on religion, world history, science...

by Stepford Wife in

my husband is still asleep but he will get up in about an hour for work so i'm going to quickly tell you my inconclusive conclusion.

i don't know if i can believe in god anymore.

i have come to the simple conclusion that he is either dead or evil but he is definitely not loving.

Most of the early Bible is Mesopotamian bs. Noah's flood, Adam and Eve, Job, tower of Babel, Proverbs chapter 4 goddess of wisdom, garden of Eden, tree of life, etc.
