December 1,2014 watchtower saying buying house is bad

by hoser in

page 15.

"take for example a christian couple in asia.

in their younger years, they admired those who could afford to own a house.

Why not just RENT buildings that already completed for the new World Wide WTBTS {jw.org.} headquarters. Think of the hundreds of thousands of man hours that are being spent building a new facility for the GB/WTBTS. Those are hours that could be spent preaching the goood news not erecting buildings that will probably be destroyed at the big A. LOL

Everyone should rent except the WTBTS/GB, they should build. It's like the movie "Field of Dreams"-----'build and they will come'.

What a bunch of hypocrits!

Do You Think All JWs Believe Whatever Their Religion Teaches?

by minimus in

jw

that same question applies to catholics, jews, islamists, baptists and so on.

.

just because you belong to a religion, does it mean you espouse every idea that they have ever presented?.

I was an elder for nearly 20 years. Never really believed the blood stuff prohibition, the resurrection theory of who will be raised and who will not, the "spirit anointing" of the partakers, how part of Revelation could be symbolic and some things be literal, the calculation of the 2,520 years from 607bc, how we came up with 607bc, "the day for a year" punishment formula, really most of the bs that didn't go along with common sence, etc....... but I went along because I was also a 'captive of the concept'. Holy crap----50 years of going along.

Is The Governing Body Afraid To Slam Muslims???

they boldly spoke against the catholics.

i'd love to see them rail against the muslims..

Recent reports of 'stoning' to death of Muslims (mostly women) probaly relieves the GB a little for the their stance on shunning which is 'spiritual' stoning. How could yhwh ever ask another human to stone to death their fellow man? Simple--man invented yhwh to do the dirty work for them.

Ever witness a litteral stoning? Gruesome slow death? Don't that draw you closer to yhwh?

"Our Publications have said" in (made up QFR)

by hamsterbait in

the gibbering buddies always say this when back pedalling or reversing a teaching.

why won' t they admit that they said it.

they also use " some have said/thought" as if distancing themselves from the crap, it makes them less responsible.. it is like aaron's golden calf it just "came on out " of the fire all by itself!.

1969 Awake it was that "promised" us young ones that we would never get old in this system of things. I was 21 then and am now nearly 68. Is 68 old? Guess not!

How have you changed since finding TTATT ?

by Phizzy in

on coftys thread about his former pastor trying to re-convert him, which is very long but a tremendous discussion of the problem of evil, a poster, sunny23, wrote :.

" having been 7 months since i first posted on the first page of this topic i have just read those posts and acknowledged a huge transfromation in myself for the better."..

i was only thinking the other day how, as i discovered this site and ttatt, i really changed as a person in so many ways, and i think mainly for the better.. i have been "born again" !!.

eyeuse2badub

I feel so liberated after 62 years in the cult. Although the last 15-16 years have been doubt ridden. No more FOG. No more wasted weekends. No more fear of a god that simply does not answer prayers.

i wad thinking how certain quotes and sayings have such a positive effect on our life.

so i thought a quotes and sayings thread could be very inspirational.it would be nice if the saying or quote isn't origional to quote the author.. "not untill we are lost do we begin to understand ourselfs" henry david thoreau.. " better to never start, once started better finnish" the way of the peaceful warrior.. " health is wealth" source a friend once said.. .

Questions From Readers (w67, 6/15, p383) :How old was Abel when he died?

by raymond frantz in

the watchtgower has decided to drop most of it's old publications up to 1990 and it looks like the library cd will be a thing of the past soon .i have decided to save some of the old content especially the questions from readers like wordpress posts and add photos ,let me know what you think.here is one from the 1967 watchtower.

how old was abel when he died ?.

.

eyeuse2badub

so in a hundred years, abel didn't father any children? and cain neither? must have been a shortage of women. but jehober said to multiply. i guess that cain was not too smart and thought multiply meant to subtract. he must have been home schooled with no higher education.

jehober is a blood thirsty god of the tribe of israel. yea right that abel thought of killing/slaughtering animals to please god! why did jehober think it was necessary to have such bloody worship when today jw's would be appalled by such blood spilling. when people today slaughter an animal for sacrifice to their god, society is absolutely appalled. it's disgusting to think that a loving god would want humans to slaughter his lovely little creatures.
