Banned Publications in Russia

by Maryo in

does anyone know exactly what publications are on the "list" as banned in russia and what the objectionable language is?.

eyeuse2badub

The Russian government probably objects to any publication that talks glowingly about abolishing their government, even if it is a book of fairy tales!

If Jehovah hates magic, why is it ok to go to Magic theme parks such as Disneyland the Magic Kingdom and not be disfellowshipped for it?

by Greybeard in

jw
friends

if jehovah hates magic, why is it ok to go to magic theme parks such as disney land the magic kingdom?

i grew up a jw and we all went to disney land and magic mountain.

if jehovah hates magic then why are these places not forbidden?

eyeuse2badub

Same reason he hates birthdays, mother's day, father's day, but he loves wedding anniversary parties, graduation parties, and baptism parties. Do not the later celebrations exalt humans and not god?

Random Musings

by dubstepped in

every so often something strikes me about the dubs or bible as i read on here or just think.

not all are topic worthy, but i like thinking about things in different ways and when others share little things that struck them.

i'll share two for now, feel free to add your own to the list.. i was thinking the other day about the scripture saying the "for a certainty i perceive that god is not partial".

Some of my random musings; Hope it's not too lengthy.

Growing up a jw’s we were always taught that Jehovah would protect his loyal servants—right? We would often hear some very encouraging experience of how a jw, usually in a foreign country with an anonymous name, narrowly escaped, this or that, due to Jehovah looking over him/her and protecting them. Sometimes stories from the bible or some experiences of how Jehovah protected Rutherford and the 8 brothers thrown in jail in 1916 made a convincing argument. We ate it up!

When a situation would come up or a disaster would happen and loyal jw’s died or were killed, it was explained away that Jehovah may not always protect us as individuals, but as an organization! That explanation never did sound quite right, but we ate it up anyway! Slowly, I began to wonder, why does Jehovah only protect certain ones of his loyal servants and not others? What are the criteria that would qualify a loyal servant worthy to be miraculously protected? Are some just more worthy than others? Are some just more loyal?

I started taking a mental inventory of the things I remember reading in the Bible to see if I could find the answers therein and these are just a few of the things that came to mind right away:

After Satan seduced innocent Eve, why didn’t Jehovah warn Adam to beware of Eve’s disastrous ploy? After all, up till that time, Adam had been a very loyal servant taking care of Paradise!

Why did Jehovah admonish wicked Cain, knowing what he was planning to do to loyal Abel, but not give a heads up to loyal Abel so that he could at least defend himself?

Jehovah; “Yo Abel! Your bro is looking to take you out! Watch your back good buddy!” Remember too that at that time, loyal Abel was the only loyal servant of Jehovah on earth!

Jehovah protected loyal Noah and his loyal family. Why could loyal Noah and his loyal family not save even one “worldly” person before the flood? Was every other person on earth so ‘wicked’ that they need to be drowned?

Why did Jehovah allow extremely loyal Jonathan to be killed right alongside of his very disloyal father Saul? But David, the immoral hothead, gets wealth, fame, and glory and gets to die old and satisfied in years? David must have been more loyaler than loyal Jonathan.

Just too many to post but feel free to add you favorites! One modern event demonstrating how Jehovah protects his loyal ones that really sticksout to me:

Why on November 6, 2013 did Jehovah allow super Typhoon Haiyan to strike the Philippines where very tragically 43 very loyal JW’s lost their lives? But even more puzzling and tragic is the fact that 22 of those loyal servants of Jehovah were swept out to sea while they were gathered together in a Kingdom Hall for worship!

New Bible, In Spanish.... Why taking so long?!

by Doubtfully Yours in

is it possible it's not like they initially said, that it was just having god's name added in places where it had been deleted, and that perhaps they're making more adjustments to it in order to fit our doctrine?.

come out with the freakin' new bible in spanish already!!!.

dy .

eyeuse2badub

Obviously jehober don't love the Spanish as much as the gringos! JW's are an American religion, born and raised, so all other language groups just have to suck hind tit!

The Big House Forced Exodus

by ttdtt in

long video i guess addressing the many hard feelings of people getting the axe at brooklyn and other facilities.. the gist is - thanks for your help, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

or scripturally saying - "keep warm and well fed"p.s.

they are admitting that the are letting older ones go.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbrd_201605_5_video.

eyeuse2badub

Simply a corporate downsizing departure talk! The "dangling carrot" of the new system being "right around the corner" decimated so many of our friends who are now in their late 60's and early 70's and still working their arse off every day.

Ya gotta know that those who "lived" a bethel life are even more decimated! Kicked out of "paradise" just like adam and eve. So sad!

May 10, 2016 TO ALL CONGREGATIONS IN RUSSIA Re: Spiritual strength, despite difficulties

by wifibandit in

original in russian.

via google translate:.

all the congregation in russia.

eyeuse2badub

If the gb is soooo concerned about the russian bros, why the f#%k don't they go over to russian and plead their case. Is it because they are a bunch of overstuffed, cowardly pricks?

And they keep pounding away on the persecution being a "sure" sign of the end of this system. 140 years and counting on that bit of reasoning!

Are the anointed really "lovely people"?

by purrpurr in

i've personally never met any of those who claim to be anointed but the other jw's who have are always unanimous in their praise of how lovely and what wonderful people they are.

and i don't mean the gb i mean common or garden anointed.

i was told that when they speak about being in heaven that they almost "seem to glow".. is this right?

eyeuse2badub

Yes, the "anointed" are really "loony people"! Have you ever met an "anointed" person that wasn't just a little bit loony? NO!

I cringe when I think about the talks I gave.

by James Mixon in

you brothers who gave talks do you thinks about the crap you spoke from the platform.. thirty years old, no knowledge what so ever of the world we live in, barely making the grade.

to graduate from high school, a year and half in jc college and now with schooling of jw higher.

education i thought i was a hell of a speaker.

eyeuse2badub

Yea I was a pompous ass also. That was the way we were suppose to be, right? Imitate the CO's and DO's who were all pompous asses. 2 decades of being a prominent speaker in the circuit and what a fool I was.

Some of the crap that I preached from the platform makes me sick. I'm not too sure that I believed it even then, but, being a good dub required following the 'company' line (of BS). Too bad, too bad! Mia copa!
