Over eating v over drinking

by Normalfulla in

when i was in, i couldn't understand why the subject of over eating or gluttony was almost never discussed, there was countless talks and articles about over drinking but over eating is lumped in as the same offence in the bible but was never discussed?

an elder who was serving in the islands told me he heard a talk given by a local in the cong there who professed that "in the new system we can eat as much as we want and not get fat".

so why was /is it not talked about?

That's one of the only joy of being a JW (food). There are two things JWS are known for, booze and the best restaurants to eat.

Who wrote the Bible?

by Ireneus in

the wordings suggest much of the bible is written by false friends of god.

to mention a few:.

1) god planted a special tree to pay the way for suffering and death into the lives of his children.. 2) god protected cain who murdered his innocent brother out of sheer jealousy.

James Mixon

I believe the bible is the world's biggest practical jokes. Talking snake, talking ass and Good vs Evil. There are events in the bible when good become evil and evil becomes the good guy. I'am sure if you could sit down with the writers of the bible today and ask them, was it all BS? Not all but we were trying to get everyone on the same page, folks was out of control. So no way in the world no one could verify some our outrageous stories, until now.

Bumped Into One Of My Best Friends On The Carts This Morning

by pale.emperor in

so this morning i'm walking to my office and there's the jws on their carts outside as usual.

and old sister, a brother in his 20s and an elder i instantly recognized from my jw days.

one of my best friends of about 20 years.. i genuinely just wanted to say hi as i havent seen him in 3 years.

James Mixon

Yes I have heard that for over 30 years from my JW family members, "you have destroyed the family, come back and all will be good ". You the reason why our nephews and nieces don't know one another, you the reason why our none JW family members think we are in a cult (lLOL)." " I would hate to be in your shoes when you stand before Jehovah to answer for those family members lying in the streets and birds eating their flesh". We must admit that is a sick organization..

JW’s do NOT shun... (apprently)

by pale.emperor in

my quora campaign of answering all jw related questions truthfully with evidence is going well.

however, one jw had the audacity to claim that "jws do not shun".

they seem to want to present a fake, squeeky clean image to non-members and seem to get angry when answering questions regarding shunning.. like this asshole, dennis cybulski.

James Mixon

Just come back to Jehovah's loving organization and we will not treat you like sh--t and call you nasty names.

KH Hall doors to remain locked during meetings?

by StarTrekAngel in

my mother in law told us this morning that they read a letter in her cong last night.

from now on kh doors will be locked after 15 min of meeting start.

only the fire exit (one way door) will remain unlocked.

James Mixon

My uncle (elder) lived in a very high crime area, and they never locked the doors (south central L.A). And why not?No one in their right mind would walk into a KH other then JW's in L.A. Plus some of the Brothers wasn't raised as JW 's.

What JW habits do you still have?

by Exelder in

since leaving the jw's after over 4 decades, i can see exactly what it is and hate everything it stands for.

however, there are still some jw habits and traits that i can't get rid of:.

1. i can't swear in general conversation (i'd have to be really angry).

James Mixon

Swearing. Playing golf with friends and I made a really bad shot, dagnabbit I yelled. I might say the sh--t word when I really get mad.

Is Satan real and all this powerful?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

wikipedia article on jehovah's witnesses:satanjehovah's witnesses believe that satan was originally a perfect angel who developed feelings of self-importance and craved worship.

satan influenced adam and eve to disobey god, and humanity subsequently became participants in a challenge involving the competing claims of jehovah and satan to universal sovereignty.

other angels who sided with satan became demons.jehovah's witnesses teach that satan and his demons were cast down to earth from heaven after october 1, 1914, at which point the end times began.

James Mixon

OK this is the deal my man Satan is smart, he did away with the crap of making pigs run off cliffs (animal right folks upset) and possessing people and what not (people were ending up in a nut home).. That kind of stuff doesn't happen very much anymore.He has been much more successful by getting people not to believe in him and in God.
