Why Do Kingdom Halls Have no Windows?

by foolsparadise in

another fear tactic to make members paranoid?.

Tuesday

I thought this was the set up to a joke like:

Do you know why Kingdom Halls don't have windows?

Because they want to control all the light that the members see.

Why do Kingdom Halls not have windows?

Because this way even though you can see through the teachings you won't be able to see through the building

Why do Kingdom Halls not have windows?

Because they don't want anyone looking into THEIR building to see if THEY'RE home.

That's all I got for now...

Hey there, I had to re-up the second part because of a music issue playing over the closing comments of the video, here's the re-up for anyone that was interested in the last couple of sentences...

As for that Jepthah's daughter link, she bewailed her virginity for a few months. This doesn't sound to me like someone getting ready to go into temple service to me, but it sounds like a girl getting her last affairs in order and enjoying the last part of her life before it is snuffed out by a crazy man who worships a blood-thirsty God. There is only one mention in the bible where a burnt offering is not considered literal and let's look at that scripture. A town is offered up as a burnt offering, and how did they do that, they took all the spoils of war from the city and literally burned them.

There is no other mention of a burnt offering in the bible that could be considered figuratively. Even if this could be considered apologist (which means making a convincing argument) it is a VERY weak one.

God killed Jepthah's daughter because he wanted human sacra\ifice. The God in the bible gets off on that kind of stuff. He loves blood sacrifices.

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't been on a whole lot lately, I've been extremely busy with a bunch of goings on in my life. I made a set of videos due to receiving a PM on youtube asking me specifically how I left the Jehovah's Witnesses. Since I feel my method of telling my parents I wanted to leave was pivotal in me not being kicked out of the house and avoiding a fight I figured this could prove somewhat helpful to youngsters trying to plan their escape from the Tower.

Thanks everyone, I hope this helps a few people. Sorry for the quality on this, something was off with my camera. I also did the editing during a very sleepless night at about 3 AM, so forgive me for the quick cuts and so forth.

i was thinking about some stupid non-sensical answers i have heard over the years.

"we all know the blue whale is the biggest fish"

"we were on the ministry and met a coloured couple.

Tuesday

A certain know-it-all brother who knew it all because he went to a semester of community college before he decided it was hurting his spirituality.

"I almost feel bad for evolutionists who feel the earth came from nothing when we know that God created it from nothing."

I remember laughing at this comment and no one knew why.

A few questions concerning Jehovah's Witnesses doctrines

by garyneal in

for those familiar with my postings already know, i am a christian who is married to an active jehovah's witness (though not yet baptized).

we discuss issues concerning the witnesses and their doctrines and have had "bible studies" with one of the elders.

i've asked her about some of these things and i would like to share her responses and see if it lines up with watchtower teachings.. can a police officer become a jehovah's witness?.

Tuesday

You should probably say something regarding the Watchtower being held in the same prominence as the cross in the Catholic church. Tell her if she thinks they're worshipping the cross she's sadly mistaken. It is not worshipped, merely a symbol. People are worshipping God and have a cross in the church. Now Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Halls have a Watchtower in the front of their hall. Also Diana of Artemis had a large Watchtower on her head and this was a false God.
