  Thanks for sharing Frazz! I say with complete sincerity that I consider it a privilege to know you, and have no doubt that your relationship with your wife will continue to grow as she moves away from the Witnesses.

  Is the Society trying to self sabotage?

  by truthseeker in

  i'm not going to list all the changes here that have happened in 2014, most of you who frequent the boards know about them.. in reference to anthony morris' talk, i can't help feel that the organization is behaving so abnormally out of character for itself that it is bewildering even to ex jws.. cultish behavior is perfectly normal for cults, but whats happened this year is so far out of whack it beggars belief.. what do they think they are doing?

  are they psyching jws up for some major announcement?.

  i can't help but feel that something really strange is going on, this does not feel like the regular "special announcements" followed by articles in the watchtower.. .

  The Watchtower religion is just run by a bunch of old conservative reactionaries. Not opening the leadership up to diversity will indeed be their own downfall.

  answer at the hall "its all illuminate!"

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i probably havnt spelt that right but anyway the other week a bro at my hall answered up saying that he had done research into the lives of these "rock and roll" stars and that he had discovered that they all belonged to a demon controled, satan worshipping secret cult called the illuminarte!

  therefore we must steer clear of popular music because of the secrect demonic lyrics that it contains!!.

  of course everyone nodded in agreement and the study conductor thanked him for his "fine" comment!.

  Have you investigated Gnostic Christianity?

  by Gnostic Bishop in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have you investigated gnostic christianity?.

  the gnostic wing of christianity, if it can even be called that today, has quite a few differences to christianity and catholicism.

  if the old gnostic christians were here, they would hardly recognize what has happened to the original orthodox catholic church or its various offshoots in protestantism and islam.

  I like aspects of gnosticism, but overall find it too dualistic for my tastes.

  I am also not convinced that Gnosticism has historically been less patriarchal than orthodoxy.

  Singapore: The Religious consequences of Tim Cook coming out as gay

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as if we needed any further evidence that the minds of christians are not all that they should be, the shenagins in the christian segment of the christian segment of the singapore population once again demonstrated that each time they fart, they blow some of their brains away, and sadly they fart so much that there's not much brain left.. i guess most people have heard that time cook (boss of apple) publically stated this week that he was gay and proud of it.

  in most of the western world, it barely caused a ripple, but not so in singapore where christians are always lobbying the government against sin.. but, tim cook as a gay man provoked the ire of the singaporean church leadership.. i have not heard that anyone claimed that using an apple iphone would make you gay, but prominent church leader lawrence khong, was commissioned as an apostle by dr. peter wagner, of the international coalition of apostles, in 2000. .

  on hearing the news about tim cook, lawrence khong stop using iphone and even denounced technology altogether.

  Pope Francis declares evolution and Big Bang theory are real (shows the way to JWs?)

  by exWTslave in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  pope thus admits that every verse of the bible is not literally inspired.

  it is like a story that is built to awaken the readers to some principles (not to educate the readers the historicity with all the minute details).. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-declares-evolution-and-big-bang-theory-are-right-and-god-isnt-a-magician-with-a-magic-wand-9822514.html.

  if gb is wise enough, they can come out of the mess they have gone into, making use of this opportunity that pope has opened saying bible is not to be taken literally.

  I suppose Joyce Meyer would be an improvement but she is not exactly the direction I would like the Society to take...
