Bill Cosby - too much smoke for no fire?

by Simon in

it seems like the list of people who are accusing him of rape and sexual assault is growing every day.

i'm skeptical of single accusations but the number of people and the similar stories seem overwhelming now.. it's not a conviction but to the court of public opinion ... guilty?.

.

DJS, I wanted to click on the Cosby text but I accidentally clicked "dislike" and I can't seem to remove it? I don't dislike your post at all. All I wanted to do was read about Bill confessing. Sorry. :(

I Don't Get It!

by John Aquila in

there are literally about thirty young single very good looking sisters in this one kingdom hall under the age of 30. that is just one kingdom hall.

in the circuit there are literally hundreds of young beautiful jw girls under 30 who are single and anxious to get married.

about two years ago, this one single good looking brother who is about 30 years old and who is an elder married this plain looking sister who is 59 years old.

Virran

They're looking for a mother figure? And rumor has it that older women are wilder "where it counts", who knows.

Crisis of Consience market price (we are in a bull market)

by NewYork44M in

i was considering getting another copy of one of ray's books and was shocked about the market value.

is ray's book worth $1,000?

perhaps, but it is a bit shocking.

Virran

I bought it on Amazon last year November for only $11.05, the 3rd edition, 2nd printing 2000. I do consider it a goldmine, but of insider info. And I'm using it to witness to my severely brainwashed mom.

If you found out TTATT at 80 and spent your entire life at Bethel, what would you do?

by John Aquila in

would you do a ray franz deal and write a book or keep quiet and live out the rest of your life in bethel?.

would you keep reading the watchtower magazine?.

Virran

I would probably ask Jesus for forgiveness, get to know Him and then rejoice I finally found the real truth before I died.

At that age most family and friends are gone anyways, so I wouldn't be scared of shunning.

Govening Body and JWN

by John Aquila in

do you think any members of the governing body visit this site-jwn regularly?.

how about the heavies in the organization, like the writers, lawyers, and other who work at headquarters?.

for all we know john aquila could be a member of the gb..

Virran

I'm 110% sure they do monitor all anti-JW sites. That's the only reason they're having this "be more like Jesus" convention this summer.

Anointed, Crazy, Overzealous, or Good Acting?

by Tenacious in

i don't believe for a second that the wts can be god's chosen organization, if he does have an earthly one, especially one with such a hypocritical past.

but the question begs; why are there people professing having the heavenly calling usually found in the wts?.

does anyone know or have heard of other denominations having the genuine heavenly calling?.

Virran

I've always wondered why, if one believes in God, wouldn't you want to be with God. Right where he is. I mean, wherever that is, it must be pretty fantastic. Anything that's good enough for God must be crazy awesome for us? Also, wouldn't you want to see God? Who doesn't wish to ever see or be close to ones Father?

The GB are just those wolves in sheeps clothing the bible talks about, that will try to close the heavens for everyone else.

Lett's pinky ring is back

by Daniel1555 in

if you thought that stephen lett came to realize finally, that wearing a pinky ring doesn't seem modest, you are wrong.. in the introduction video to the video "what is true love?

" of the convention releases day 3, he is as lunatic as ever and wearing his pinky ring again.. thank you, governing body.

let "lett" talk in front of the worldwide convention audience and in your broadcasts, and you will wake up more jw's than any other means might do..

Virran

Wow...I'm speachless...This Lett guy talks as if he think his audience is just as retarded as he is. I especially want to throw up at his odd and cheesy smile at the very end...Geeze!!! And yes, his make up is horrible, it looks like a powdered baby's a$$. Grrr!

Damned if they do, Damned if they don't

by FusionTheism in

i see an attitude among some people here which is not very helpful.

i can understand it, but still, it's not constructive or helpful.. if you condemn the society for not changing, but then you also condemn them when they do change in a positive way, what incentive or motive does that provide for the people at the society to ever want to change for the better?.

also, what does that attitude look like to current witnesses who are having doubts?.

Virran

For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 7:2

The org is judging and condemning everything and everyone outside itself, so yea, the hammer will come down pretty hard on them. Is that really so odd?

Strange but Sad!

by John Aquila in

i had a couple of elders come visit me about an hour ago.

they wanted to inform me that a brother who was well known throughout the circuit had died.

(i actually knew about it but did not go to the funeral) he was about to hit 90 years old, missed it by a few weeks.

Virran

I asked the elders if they contacted the daughter to tell her that her father had died. They said “NO” We are not under obligation to contact a disfellowship person. They said, “She will have to find out when she calls next January.”

Then they said, “That what she gets for leaving Jehovah’s Organization.***

How loving! It's loving actions like this that really proves that the Holy Spirit is guiding this organization!! Not!!!
