Global warming? Maybe next year.

by a Christian in

year of global coolingby david deming.

december 19, 2007 .

al gore says global warming is a planetary emergency.

Thanks for bumping Coded. The past 2 years are the warmest on record, and ice at both poles is at historic lows.

All of the leaders of the major countries believe it is occurring, except for The Donald.

I wonder if the deniers are also experts in other scientific fields other than climatology. Do you think they would tell the nuclear physicists, blast engineers, forensic experts and neurosurgeons they were wrong?

You know it's time to give up the JW religion when your route call tells you to

by jambon1 in

lasting memory of the latter period of time in the organisation:.

i had a route call with the magazines whom i'd called on for a number of years.

eventually when i become a parent i became consumed with negativity, doubt (blood issue) & depression.

DJS

jambon1,

Ditto. I had an identical experience. Best OP of the month and one of the best of the year.

2 elders just came to my door. I smiled and told them no.

by schnell in

not playing their game, as i've learned here.

they came to my door to find me with a full beard and a nightmare before christmas hoody, playing a video game where the characters "do not act according to bible principles", and i happily answered the door.

i simply smiled and told them no when they asked if i have a minute.

DJS

That elder shouts: "Are you saying that the WTS is not God's organization." Heaven suggests what they are after, which is:

Anyone else hear of this?

a jw family member informed me they are filling out an application to preach the truth in israel.

interested ones in the congregation were asked to start saving now, as the cost of the flights would be their own responsibility.

the time frame for this preaching work is for a couple of weeks in may/june 2017. the applications are to be turned in this sunday.

DJS

I'm confused. If they are trying to preach the truth in Israel, isn't that a good thing?

Great Tribulation and Trump

by TakeOffTheCrown in

please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

DJS

James Brown,

The majority of voting people didn't even vote for Trump. That would be Hillary. Head in a fog?

The one oclock meeting

by Steel in

i go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.

its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.

if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.

DJS

Be true to your screen name, Steel. Or is that name just to compensate for a lack thereof?

Change the channel.

Did the Fall of the Berlin Wall fulfill Bible Prophecy ?

any takers?

Numerous empirical studies encompassing decades of research all have resulted in similar findings. The consensus of these studies, conducted by people with those PhD thing-ies, is that those entrenched in both End of Time or Conspiracy Theories as their operating systems are more likely to be less intelligent and less ambitious than others.

Researchers don't know whether this is a chicken/egg issue, but they consider that each of these factor into it. So whether it is the chicken/egg or the egg/chicken, these things are facts:

a. Being entrenched in End of Time beliefs robs one of intellectual exploration, ambition and motivation. It also engenders a persona of fear and paranoia. Confirmation bias becomes their master, and they live their lives accordingly (why explore/travel/learn when your beloved is a comin' soon). End of Time beliefs/practices are a disease. An infection. A malaise. They contribute to the de-evolution of our species, hamper progressive social, environmental changes and progress. Dummfukks are too stupid to realize that we live in the best time ever. Which time period would you end of timers prefer to live in? If you pick any time period before the mid 20th century your life expectancy would be between 24 and 34 and most of your babies/children would die before they were 5.

So pick one, dummbfucks. No running water. No central HVAC. No medical care of note. You break something on your body and it is going to be bent and malformed until you die. You get a skin condition and it will be your friend until you die. Get a tooth knocked out? Just hope you live in Arkansas. You want to be warmer? Grab an axe or go a fetchin'. You want to be cooler? Good luck with that.

And yet you end of timers are firmly entrenched in your paranoia and can't wait for your beloved to slaughter billions. Just for you. Fine. Keep it. Just stop trying to spread it to others.

b. Being entrenched in a Conspiracy Theorist mentality does many of the same things. It can rob one of motivation and ambition (why try when everything/everyone is conspiring against you?), and it can engender the same fear and paranoia. The Donald seems to be an exception. It is an infection. A malaise. A disease. It contributes to the de-evolution of our species, and nothing, nothing good can come from this mindset. Keep it to yourselves or people like me will respond as needed to stop the infection.

c. Lack of self control: Why is it that the End of Timers and the Conspiracy Theorists simply cannot keep this shit to themselves? Ego? Narcissism? That special feeling of being unique? Compensating for a lack of accomplishment in their lives? All of the above? We get it End of Timers and Conspiracy Theorists. We do.

You compensate for your own lack of ambition, education and accomplishment by telling the rest of us just how very special you are with your special knowledge that we don't have and that bad bad things are going to happen to us while you will be safe and secure. Y'all keep it up. In the future, as the present, you will be calling people like us lord and master, and we will be your benevolent owners and you will be our pets.

DFers. I can help you remove the chains and shackles that bind you and wean you from the opiates of your addictions.

But you have to let me.

Prologos (aka Legend),

In a review of your OP history, and based on your own statements, you are keenly interested in DarkTower doctrine. And when I say doctrine, based on your OPs, I mean that you:

Show an obsession with the Dark Lords. But a lot of people on the site have that malady.

Have a fascination/obsession with the 144,000, DarkLords vs. the Other Sheep. A number of posts about partaking, a disregard for the DarkLords' impervious nature (they can do no wrong), with numerous scriptural references show that this is one of the primary doctrinal differences between you and the DarkLords and the reason for your mental exit. Hurts not being invited to the reindeer games, doesn't it?

That's ok. Whatever gets you through the night - and out of the DarkTower is A-ok with me. I wanted to live my life as I desired. And chase short skirts.

Have made a multitude of posts about scriptural interpretation. And when I say scriptural interpretation I mean that you believe that the DarkLords got it wrong on many, many scriptures, prophecies and their interpretations. You've presented your own interpretations many times and illustrated how they are superior.

You are also a bit if a conspiracy theorist. But again, you share that illness with quite a few boneheads on this site.

Given all this, I find it extremely unlikely that you were joking when you made your prophetic interpretations about Merkel and the Wall. And when I say extremely I'm not buying it for a second. Your own interpretation is a thing of beauty. To you. That you knew people like me would respond in that special manner in which people like me respond suggests you were trying to mitigate the verbosity. From people like me. But you love scriptural and prophetic interpretation. It's what you do. It's who you are. It's your niche. Your passion. Your special skill.

It was late afternoon in Seattle when I posted about whether you were joking. Being the octogenarian that you are it is unlikely you had anything better to do than read my response, which followed very quickly on the heels of your prophetic message. It took you all night to figure out how to moon walk your way out of this.

Nope. Not buying it. You and Vanderhoven should team up. He tried moon walking out of a similar situation the other day, something about Trump and the Tribulation or some such nonsense.

As Viv would say (god I love that girl), own it.
