What Has Happened To This Site

by Pants of Righteousness in

jw
friends

sorry, off to get my gun..

eyeuse2badub

This site, the contributing members, and the insightful information, i.e. ttatt, was very helpful as I actively began my very successful fade about 11-12 years ago.

Is it just me or does it seem like it has morphed into a more political/racial opinion battle ground. CNN vs FOX news. Actual, helpful facts about religion, it's man made origins, the bible and it's mythological beginnings , have, to some degree been supplanted by opinions on politics and racial issues!

I miss Blondie's comments/research on what the wt really says!

What Fun Things Have You Been Doing While In Lock-Down?

by Simon in

jw
friends

so we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.

what has everyone been doing to pass the time?.

when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.

new situation in world helpful to org?

by Magnum in

sometimes new situations can provide cover for one’s mistakes or intentions.

for example, suppose that i crack the windshield in my dad’s car one night.

i go home, park the car in its usual spot in the yard, and go to bed without telling my dad because i’m scared and i’m trying to think of a way out of the situation.

No more "quick builds"? To be replaced by "Quick sells"!

JW.ORG delivering food to JWs in California

by NikL in

jw
friends

so a couple of weeks ago my wife (who is an active jw) got a delivery of apples, oranges, potatoes, carrots and onions.. the story i heard was that the "branch bought a bunch of food that would go to waste and was delivering it".. i am in california and a friend of mine in another cong.

50 or so miles away had the same thing happen.. a few days ago we got another delivery and as a matter of fact my wife was asked if she could "help jehovah with delivering his gifts".

unfortunately she is in poor health and unable to so so.. anyway, the story seems fabricated to me and i am wondering what is really going on.. does anybody have any ideas?

eyeuse2badub

I'm in central California and yes the wt is delivering food, mainly product, to many congregations. Everyone, the jw's, think that the supplies are being provided by the wt and none of the elders have said anything to the contrary!

Do you think you will ever see News like this ?

by Phizzy in

this sort of thing ?

"jehovah's witnesses state that black lives matter, as all lives matter".

" jehovah's witnesses join black lives matter rally".

eyeuse2badub

I'm basically a born in also and am certainly not a racist. But it sure took a very long time for a person of color or even a non American white man to make it to the top tier of the wt organization! 'Logically' it follows that jehober must favor white American men!

Is it me or is John Cedars channel becoming a self important circle fest

by phoenixrising in

i still like the commentary on the jw.org monthly’s, i can skip through some parts.

but it seems like he is pushing too hard to put out videos and the quality is getting very low on the content..

eyeuse2badub

Everybody don't like everybody but everybody likes somebody. Personally I like John Cedars. His commentary is sometimes a bit much but it's usually factual and up to date.'

You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time!

jw
friends

hello, i am in the beginning stages of a slow fade.

over the years i have become more and more dissatisfied with the beliefs, teachings, and organizational practices of the organization.

i no longer have faith in it.

How can what is going on right now be any worse that what took place in Europe during the time of Hitler?

How Would You React if a Snake Started Talking to You?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

just an odd thought i guess.

i saw a large snake in the back of my house the other day and it went on its merry way.

i just asked myself, what if the snake turned around and wanted to have a philosophical discussion on life, the universe or the origin of creation and then began to ask me questions?

most bible believers have never really even considered how absolutely absurd this bible tale is! Once you wake up you see a lot of things differently1

Did ancient Hebrew's get hign during temple

by Fadeaway1962 in

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/archaeologists-discover-cannabis-biblical-site-1874790 .

would explain daniel and ezekiel and their visions.

eyeuse2badub

God's chosen nation (lol lol) the Hebrews, had some very bizarre rituals to say the least. Getting 'high', being 'under the influence' would certainly have helped them to do some of the shit they were required, by god, to do!

Senseless animal slaughter considered sacrifices

Use of the magical Urim and Thummim described by the wt as: Objects used to ascertain the divine will when questions of national importance needed an answer from Jehovah.

What else?

In my efforts to 'reverse witness' I always encourage people to watch and listen to Stephen Lett. If they can take him seriously, I know that my efforts are in vain!
