Have as anyone heard of Jordan Maxwell?

His seminars are quite good. This one is on astrotheology, he looks at the symbols that different religions have in common.

Anthony Morris and Disneyland "the Magic Kingdom"

by trujw in

in his talk the turd said disneland is ok cause he took his kids there.

isn't disneyland known as "the magic kingdom" why in the world is it ok to go to a magic kingdom of fantasy and make believe with wizards but a kid playing with a stupid wizard toy makes jehovah sad.

how can the turd be ok with thousands of magical toys and rides but at the exact same time tell them to throw those same toys in the trash.

i haven't been to a meeting in over a year, and as you know as soon as you stop attending meetings/fieldservice the "conditional" love becomes more apperant.

the coordinating elder starts off by saying how much he loves and misses me, etc.

i ask him, when was the last time you called or texted me?

I met a sister in a bank a few months ago and she told me, "I know I haven't called on you guys but I have thought about you" and I said to her, well, how are we supposed to know you are only thinking about us.

Why doesn't god do anything tangible now?

by punkofnice in

i was always told that god did loads of stuff that was evidence of his existance.

ususally very brutal things too (b#st@rd).. jesus walked on water and raised the dead we are told.. it seems to me also that the older the story, the more exaggerated it is...y'know...talking snake......global flood.. there are those that claim god speaks to them now and they alone 'know' it.

(cuckoo!!!).

I do believe in God for my own personal reasons, but I have no explanation for why he has abandoned this planet.

When the Daniel's prophecy book was released in 1999, I couldn't wait to find out information on the "King of the North" and the end times prophecy. I thought there would be new information. There was not.

There was all the hype about the Millenium Bug that year. People were fearful something would happen.

Then there was 9/11.

Fast forward 13 years and here we are in 2014.

None of us JWs and exJWS for one moment thought that we would be on this side of this system in the 21st century.

The end was always near, but never here.

Consider this:

http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2006924

“There Will Come Ridiculers With Their Ridicule”

6 Despite the urgency of the situation, most of earth’s inhabitants are not concerned about the approaching “day of Jehovah.” They mock and ridicule those who warn them of its imminent arrival. True Christians are not surprised by this. They remember the warning recorded by the apostle Peter: “You know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: ‘Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.’”—2 Peter 3:3, 4.

Since the time this scripture was written, both "the ridiculed and the ridculers" have been dead for 2,000 years.

What are we to think?

And that is why people have lost their faith in God, they see two milleniums have passed and there has been no intervention by God in Earth's affairs.

I did start reading the series "Conversations with God" and found it to be a very interesting, alternative perspective for why God allows bad things to happen.

Criminal damage to Jehovah's Witness building in Felpham

23 April 2013

Police are appealing for witnesses after the Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall, Flansham Lane in Felpham was subjected to religiously aggravated criminal damage overnight between Thursday 11 April and Friday 12 April. Parts of the wall of the building were splattered with red, white and black paint and some of the graffiti included swastikas and the word 'CULT'. Detective Constable Ellie Hughes from West Sussex CID said: "Sussex Police take criminal damage of this nature very seriously and we are determined to bring to justice the person(S) responsible for such a mindless act. "Officers have speaking to the local community and I would encourage anyone with information no matter how relevant they think it is, to please contact Sussex Police on 101 quoting serial 401 of 12/04 or alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously 0800 555 111." A 45-year-old man from Littlehampton has been arrested on suspicion of religiously aggravated criminal damage and has been bailed to 29 May pending further enquiries.
