  How do we set up a "Used New Bike Fund" for Terry?

  by BucketShopBill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?

  with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.

  does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?

  Dismember: how do you know if some of those people you mentioned didnt get help privately? It is not bucket's fault if no one offered to help those people.

  Who knows if Terry has not received help privately? Get of your high horses will ya!!
  I never said helping Terry is not a good idea.. (although why a published author needs charity to buy him a bike beats me) So why not do it privately instead of making a big grand display about how good you are by announcung your public contributions and setting up this donation thread? Oh I get it.. people want it to be known they are contributing in persuit of that fictitious 'respect'.

  99% of the posters here have more courage than you can poke a stick at.

  Carry on believing that. Living s lie and a double life is not courageousness in the slightest. It's the opposite. Like it or not but Dishonesty and Cowardice go hand in hand.

  There you go making up stuff and manipulating again. I said nothing about not contributing. I do try to contribute as and when I can. I said I don't care about chasing fictitious respect in a forum where very few of which have the courage even to say their real names or who they really are. Very little here is real. Ghosts in the night. A sea of Avatars..

  I was not being negative either. Being open minded should never be classed as being negative. In fact I was being positive and drawing attention to those others who have lost a great deal that you seem comfortable to ignore.

  Again I ask... where is your financial empathy for the other people I listed in this forum who lost far far more than a bike? Where was their fund?

  Terry is one of my favourite posters. It's nothing to do with disrespecting Terry. I was the first to offer him sympathy. I just wondered why if this is such a loving community why are the other members I listed here who have lost a lost an awful lot more given absolutely nothing.

  I have no desire to achieve anything in this virtual er.. community. You mean aspire to be an elder or ministerial poster? I'll leave that to you thanks.

  Cheers but I try to limit my life goals to the real world.

  Hey look he only has to sell 3 books and he can buy a new bike!

  What Happened to the Religion I Left in 1995?

  by JoshJeffries in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  josh here, new to the board.

  glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.

  i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

  Are you implying that it was once the truth? Nothing happened. It's was false then and it's false now.

  So anyone who disagrees with helping him can fuck off.

  Seriously, if you don't want to donate-move along instead of getting your panties in a twist.

  Yes that's right no critical thinking welcome here.

  Prediction of large drop in JW numbers in 2014

  by VM44 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am going to make the prediction, here and now in mid 2006, that there will be a significant drop in the number of jehovah's witnesses in the year 2014, the one hundredth anniversary of 1914.. the only way this drop in numbers might be avoided is if the watchtower society can think up some way to stir up the rank and file and get them motivated to do more, like they did with the 1975 fiasco.. .

  i doubt very much that the watchtower magazine is going to proclaim loudly in the year 2014 anything about the "generation of 1914" not passing away.. --vm44

  The internet has been around for over 15 years already, yawn.

  The Internet went public in 1989. 25 years ago. You have lost ten years somewhere. Judging by that yawn I guess sleeping?

  Paranoia of today's WT study!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt study for sept 7th just breeds such a spirit of paranoia!.

  using old biblical references just so as to prevent anyone from using critical thinking skills and analysing the "truth".. then using incorrect, leading reasoning to paint any who "think outside of the box" of the org as "apostate".... pure manipulation!.

  I'm glad I have never had any family in the org. Walking away was a doddle. Come to think of it even if I did have family in I'd still walk away with the same ease. Nothing is ever worth being false to yourself. Not even clinging to family.

  PART TWO of AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE BY A PRACTICING JEHOVAH'S WITNESS

  by Sparks in

  while you are sitting there reading this, there are literally hundreds of thousands of young males and females all over the world [ mostly in america / canada and england] sitting in their grotty little smelly bedrooms or flats, designing computer viruses that they will up-load onto web-sites to cause anonymous innocent peoples computers to malfunction.

  these creeps spend literally weeks,months or even years hoping to make a computer viruses that will get into peoples computer bios to completely destroy their computers.

  they never see the peoples anger, frustration and distress.... the damage can cost each person about 1,000 [ $1,660.74 ] or more to replace a basic new laptop or tower.

  Jw.org has received an estimated 7,639,900 visits over the last 30 days. The number of visits differs from visitors (or unique visitors). Visits includes multiple visits from the same individual (repeat visits).
  
  So.. if we assume each member visits jw.org just once a month this alone will account for the websites total visitors. The truth is that vast numbers of these members probably visits the site easily 10 times a day every single day (repeat visits) and on multiple devices so these visitor figures plummet drastically.
  
  So.. yes jw.org is being heavily promoted but mostly only among themselves. The world on the other had really does not seem to give a dam.

  Do You Regard President Obama In The Same Way As You Did BEFORE The Election?

  lately, even late night comedians are starting to make fun of the president.. i hear more negatives about the president than ever before---even from his own voters.. (i had high hopes for him when he beat mccain but since then, i believe the president has been a huge disappointment)..
