Russell made a lot of bat shit crazy comments in his lifetime and he passed his lunacy on to those who followed him. Makes me ill to think that at one time I believed his crap!

When God takes a day off!
by eyeuse2badub init’s really a bitch when god takes a day off.
he’s supposed to be watching over all things-except when he doesn’t and he can control any situation-except when he doesn’t.. so he gets all the credit for the good things that are and that happen due to his “dynamic energy”.
it must be tiring because he obviously takes days off.

I think God is enjoying this post also as He gives freedom to humans to blame or even to deny His existence.

So he gets all the credit for the good things that are and that happen due to his “dynamic energy”. It must be tiring because he obviously takes days off. And when he does take a breather, bad, really bad things happen. Even his ‘own people’, the ones that he promised to protect, sometimes lose their lives or, even worse, see their loved ones lose life.
Recently here in the USA god has had too much time off and the disasters have really piled up. What happened in Las Vegas is a prime example of what happens when god takes a day off! If you have the power to prevent something evil from happening and you don’t—what does that say about you?

Protect Your Family??
by Tech49 inhere is an article in the current study copy of the wt.
tell me your thoughts and i will tell you mine.!
this is a topic that i am very sensitive about, as i could never see not protecting my family, even if that meant using whatever means at hand to do so!

So I was approached by our PO 20 years ago or so because I owned(and still own)a hand gun. It's a 9mm for protection and for just the fun of owning it.
In his self righteous way he pointed out to me that it was not scriptural to own a weapon. So of course I asked why and he gave me some of the 'boiler plate' scriptures in this Question from Readers article. So after listening politely, I asked him who created weapons in the first place. "Satan" was his answer. I said "good guess" and I then pointed him to the bible book of Genesis where it plainly says that jehober placed "the flaming blade of a sword that was turning continuously" to guard or protect the garden of eden. Sounded like a weapon to me!

There is no excuse for bad behavior. Venting your pent up anger on innocent victims (which includes all active jw's) may feel good at the time but human kindness and fellow feeling feels good all the time.

This arrangement is nothing new. It's been going on for at least 8 years as I recall just before I resigned as an elder!

Russell and the Jehovah's Witnesses are mentioned in article: "Will the world end on Saturday?"
by pseudoxristos ingoogle news featured the following article.
will the world end on saturday?...then there were the followers of charles taze russell, a 19th-century preacher who looked for jesus’ return and the resurrection of the dead (christians only, please) in 1878 (and again in 1914).
they became jehovah’s witnesses, who now ring doorbells around the world (and are persecuted for it in some places — looking at you, russia).

Still amazes me how we fell for this bullshit for so many years as jw's! Always looking for a "sign" that the end was near! lol

Just a story to share
by sinboi inguy a and guy b were in bondage for a long time.
during this period, they have endured a lot of suffering and hardship.. somehow, they managed to escape from their captors.. guy a was very happy that he regained his freedom.
he put everything behind him, work hard and succeeded in building up a career.. 10 years later, he met guy b. he asked guy b what he has been doing for the past 10 years.. guy b replied :" i can't forget how we suffered while in bondage.

I believe that we all start out like guy B in the op. It definitely takes time to shed (for many of us a life time) the indoctrination of the wt. I know that i was one bitter sob when I first discovered ttatt. But as time and other rewarding facets of this real life have manifest themselves, I have gravitated to be more of guy A!
As guy A, I have come to appreciate that while life is finite, it can be filled with wonderful events and many happy days just by having a positive attitude and seeing the good in people and life!

Is there a Creator who gives a s*** about you?
by DATA-DOG in....why your child died, or you have cancer, or lost friends to a mudslide, tsunami, car accident, flood, tornado, hurricane or senseless act of violence.
why your child was molested, or you were molested, or you were slandered by an elder, or boe, or the gb.
why children die of starvation everyday, why faithful xians die every day, some mauled by dogs in field circus.

"Remember that jehober only protects us as an organization, not as individuals!"
What a f*cked up explanation by god's organization.

As a JW how would you answer this if someone brought it up in the ministry?
by NikL inas a jw i pretty much just went along with what was taught from the platform i didn't do any real bible study.
as a result, now that i am out of the org.
i find scriptures that blow my mind.. i am not sure how i would have reacted if someone had pointed this out to me when i was a jw but now i can't believe i've never noticed this before.

If jw's accept and acknowledge jesus as "a mighty god" (*which they do) then aren't they breaking the 1st of the 10 commandments "You MUST NOT HAVE ANY OTHER GODS besides me"?
