  Why do animals suffer?

  by nicolaou in

  bonnie is fourteen years old now and she's still fit and active, but she sleeps (and farts) a lot more and is definitely slowing down.. she loves us in her own dumb way and always comes to the door to greet me when i get home from work.

  she doesn't 'sin' but yeah, she'll steal biscuits and feel shame afterwards.

  she's loyal and intelligent and i dread the day when .

  if you've never come across the above title before, it's considered to be the shortest novel possible.

  a story, possibly a moving one, in just 6 words attributed to earnest hemingway.. it started a genre called "flash fiction" which is a memoir in six-words.. what would yours be?.

  indoctrinated child found freedom, love, family.

  Condescending theist tries to comfort fellow exjw's by telling them life isn't worth living without Sky Daddy

  this guy took over the exjw meetup.com group i follow and just sent out this email to all of us.to all members : i stepped in as an organizer to save the group in the hopes of connecting with other believers.

  it appears that after leaving jehovahs witnesses you all have given up your promise to spend the rest of your lives serving god.

  that now your free to just do whatever you want!

  How do you think people will remember all of us when we pass away? Or how do we want to be remembered? Or do we even care?

  Bill makes many valid points in this mockumentary! Most notable to me was his way of leading us to the logical conclusion that "faith" requires no proof, no logic, no reason, and no common sense. I was a bit disappointed that he didn't include an interview with some active jw's and have them 'spane' some of the stupid jw doctrines but, it sort of illustrates how insignificant jw's really are in the big picture.

  J.W. Women Should Stop Wearing Mascara!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the wtbts/ org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a bible truth/principle and what does not.

  example: it-1 p. 319 birthday - ".....there is no indication in the scriptures that faithful worshipers of jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.

  the bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of pharaoh of egypt and herod antipas.

  i was present for the first bethel talk introducing the iron boot back into the field.

  i saw many 20-30 year people get reassigned to special pioneering.

  this year, most of them got the boot again and were encouraged to regular pioneer (back to back boots):) this week i received a called from some bethelites and guess where they are all being reassigned to.

  All of the recent 'knee jerk reaction' moves and changes by the borg has even 'long time loyalists' beginning to question the stability of the leadership! I hear it all the time from my 'still-in' friends and relatives and of course I always do my best to add fuel to the growing fire.

  Transfer of Bank Balances and Kingdom Halls.

  by kramer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  two things related to ongoing comments regarding forgiving of loans / transfer of balances to the wtbs and the ownership of kingdom halls.

  firstly, i would argue that congregations don't care that bank balances have been transferred to the society.

  i would contend that people contribute to the preaching work, and that's it , so long as there is enough in the bank to maintain the hall with a reasonable reserve, then i doubt many would argue against it.

  @stgeorgeofengland, OK, they use a custodian trustee mechanism, widely used by lots of charities.

  but why would the individual charities ever believe they own their own churches anyway?

  kramer,

  You make a valid point. The point of contention for most regarding this subject is the lack of transparency in the ownership of the KH's. Locals build them, maintain them, and pay for them and now locals will continue to pay, pay, pay for them. I don't think anyone has a problem with a monthly payment but at some time in the future if you are paying for something, you somehow expect to own it.

  Say it like it is, Local congregations of JW's are just leasing the building that they assume is THEIR local KH until the LEGAL owners (wtbts) decides to sell/remodel it and/or send the locals to another location!

  The end game by the wtbts is to OWN all the KH's and then 'lease' them out to the individual congregations by way of a monthly obligatory, "voluntary donation". That way the wtbts has a 'fixed', steady flow of income from the sheeple without them even knowing what's up. Gotta keep that super charged chariot running!
