Why is the world full of ATHEISTS?

by exWTslave in

bible describes atheism as a condition of the heart and is all about seeking what is ephemeral, not acting with insight.

(psalm 14:1, 2) thus it rightly says the whole world is lying in the attraction of what is ephemeral.

(wicked one is not a correct translation.1 john 5:19) thus even believers who pray to god (for material blessings) are actually atheists as they are not trying to be poor in spirit.

Simple. The world is full of atheists because it is not full of God.

I found it astonishing how JWs analyze every minute detail of Greek and Hebrew (allegedly) to work out the days we live in and yet don't even know how their god's name is pronounced. It just seems weird to me.

Apparently calculating dates and chronology is much easier then getting names perfect because in Hebrew there were no vowels written. How names really sounded is just guesswork.

Like most early Semitic alphabetic writing systems, the alefbet has no vowels. People who are fluent in the language do not need vowels to read Hebrew, and most things written in Hebrew in Israel are written without vowels.

However, as Hebrew literacy declined, particularly after the Romans expelled the Jews from Israel, the rabbis recognized the need for aids to pronunciation, so they developed a system of dots and dashes called nikkud (points). These dots and dashes are written above, below or inside the letter, in ways that do not alter the spacing of the line. Text containing these markings is referred to as "pointed" text. Pronunciations are approximate.

My name: Ds-Mmbr could be pronounced a thousand different ways of you insert all the possible vowel variations.

We really don't have a clue what God's name is. What right does anyone have to just make one up for him?

Wow more heavy artillery propaganda from the 11/14 WT!!!!!

by BU2B in

every paragraph and every article in this issue is nonstop heavy artillery fire propaganda.

i have never seen a wt so full of logical fallacies, appeals to emotion, appeals to authority, guilt tripping and bite techniques all in one issue!

paragraph 9 states clearly that even though the gb is imperfect, that does not matter, we must obey them anyways.

speaking of obedience my friend told a dog story the other day. She saw her puppy running out the door with a full can of Pringles in his mouth. Instead of chasing him, she shook the dog kibble bag. Fool dog ran right back inside.

That puppy was actually very smart.. Pringles are one of the most toxic processed foods you can eat.

Do you think that the Jehovahs Witness religion would be better /worse if their were an equal number of male/female on the G.B.?

of course this is a hypothetical question , it will never happen .?

but what if it did , what do you think the society would be like if it did happen .?.

let your imaginations run wild .

No. Problems in cults are not irradicated by an even distribution of power among males and female members.

A cult is a cult is a cult is a cult.

And remember, behind almost every GB member or DO or CO or common elder is a woman. A wife who we all know really runs the show.

Plus their brains are 10% smaller..

I imagine in the org they could bring as much heart, love and joy as did the inclusion of female Nazi officers to the inhabitants of German concentration camps.

Every relationship that ends painfully goes through a period of nitpicking. Even the woman or man you maybe once loved and adored and admired can suddenly become annoying, rude, insensitive, spotty, ugly, fat and smelly and outright obnoxious in every imaginable way in your eyes once you discover they have betrayed you by sleeping with your best friend behind your back.

It's the reverse of falling in love.

Is this the start of a change of policy regarding individual JWs preparing internet pages.

this is a quote of a quote taken from anthoney mathenia:.

" for organizations like the watchtower, absolute control of their message is paramount.

it will not even allow its own adherents to spread their good news online.

Oooh can't watch this yet, I'm going through the entire series slowly and carefully and am up to No. 12. Watching these for me is a revelatory and liberating as reading 'Captives of a Concept' and even more so for me than 'Crisis of Conscience'. This Winston fellow is a Godsend! Pun intended.
