  monday is a holiday.......so a super zealous brother asks me....."are you going out in service then?.

  absolutely the last thing i would want to do!.

  if i do go again ever, i think my presentation should be " i'm so sorry for ever bothering you with the absolute crap we're handing out.

  If I ever go in the ministry again, I'll ask to work alone and either pretend knock, or actually un-witness to people...

  Maybe they're creating suspense in the r&f, like they did when they released the 'silver sword'.

  Homo sapiens is also missing (let alone the missing links in between)

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the word sapiens (from latin, meaning wise) when applied to humans as final evolute, it is understood that humans manifest wisdom in their day-to-day living.

  one of the features of being wise (which means having/showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment) is about replacing wastages with something better.

  is this being done with regard to many of the greater aspects of our lives?.

  Well, I meant that just because something is truth, doesn't mean people will believe in it. It's only when you really think about the mechanics of evolution that it starts to make sense as the only way we're all here.

  Nice little summary by Barbara Anderson re dear old Geoffrey GB and "presumptuousness"...

  jw governing body claims to be the faithful slave.

  did you know how (in sworn testimony during the recent australian royal commission hearing) governing body member geoffrey jackson responded to the question, do you see yourselves as jehovahs spokespeople on earth?.

  jackson replied, that, i think, would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that god is using.. really?

  Nobody mentioned Deborah because then the Watchtower would have to do away with its male-dominated belief system.

  i have looked at the jw talk forums every now and again.

  is it any use making a profile to get in?

  mainly just to laugh at the pathetic discussion that they carry on with.

  I did, it probably got deleted now due to inactivity. Plus, you have to answer questions like: what's the current KM say...?
  

  I know of other ex-jws who have one, but they have to post regularly and not post anything too controversial...so, basically joining the WT again.

  i'm interested to know if anyone has been to see a medium/clairvoyant since leaving jw's.

  i must admit now i can make my own choices i seem to have a fascination with it although haven't acted on it as a) am i just jumping into believing another load of rubbish?

  and b) what if it really is the demons pretending to be loved ones!!

  Or, Je suis is just saying that...think about all the JW folk-tales about Smurfs running away from the KH and the like...

  Evolution doesn't make sense only to people who haven't put real thought into it. When you do put real thought into it, you'll wonder how you never believed it in the first place. Ya dig?

  I think there will only be a new GB member if one dies. I'm pretty sure they're following this scripture:
  

  Acts 6:3 - And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility.

  JW UN Rumor

  by ivanatahan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes, i have returned.. a short recap of major events since my inactivity began: i finally revealed to my parents that i do not believe the same thing they believe in (after i was caught smooching my girlfriend by a family of good-for-nothing pieces of human feces), and of course they view themselves as failed parents who were unable to brainwash their children.

  that is, of course, the reason why they are much more controlling over what i do in my life now (my mom even tried having a "bible study" with me).

  i told them everything and i was unable to dent their jw imposed mind force field, while also exposing a clear jw misunderstanding of probability, evolution, history, logic/reason, and the big bang theory.. in a conversation i had with my mother a few weeks back (i also heard this rumor before, but my mother told me it again), she mentioned how the un held a summit of all religions and when the jws presented themselves and mentioned their preaching work warning of the coming un ban on religion (referring to an international organization who can't even prevent genocide, much less impose human rights), a un official came up to the jw who presented the cult and told him to "speed up the preaching work", because they plan on doing the ban soon.. it saddens me to think of how ignorant jws are in relation to the principles upon which the un was founded and being unaware that the un at least has some sense as to not ban religion, but this rumor, as ridiculous as it is, needs to be put at rest.

  I heard where someone from the U.N would phone Bethel occasionally to see where they preaching work was at to see how much time the U.N. had.

  I also heard a variant of the walnut story with a cop eating peanuts out of a bowl which had had the chocolate sucked off.

  Aah...JW mythos.
