just a random thought - but isn't it interesting that somebody like ashton kutcher can communicate with 16 million followers at the snap of his fingers on twitter, but god apparently needs 7 old dudes in brooklyn to pass a message along to half that many people?.
doesn't that seem just a tad bit inefficient?.

Funny comments y'all
... such an absurd notion.
Imagine someone walking up to you and saying, "God told me to tell you .....blah, blah, blah..."
..........LOL YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!
It really is kindergarten level crap. Some days I can't believe I ever believed it. ugh..

it just dawned on me that one of if not the most deceptive thing that the wt convinces the members of is that the truth does not stand up to investigation.
they teach that lies trump truth.
the reality of course is something entirely different.
When the Devil tempted Jesus, did he flee? ... No ... Jesus "gave an answer to the Devil".
Aren't Christians supposed to follow the example of Christ?
Why are JWs told to flee apostates then?
Are apostates scarier than Satan the Devil himself? ...Apparently so.
..
Shouldn't the representatives of Jehovah and Jesus Christ on earth be more confident in their teachings?
The WT says they have no fear of man. They do not fear worldly rulers. They do not fear religous leaders. They do not fear the merchants and money changers. They do not fear the demons. They do not fear Satan himself...
But they are scared of an internet forum ???
The question "friends" is WHY?

P.S. Good O.P. BU2B
i see there is a special meeting held by the gb at bethel a week before the annual meeting.. .
wonder what that will be about?.

Tim hooper - Funny stuff :)
dubs - paradoxes from hell.
jesus said his yoke was kindly and light.. dubs brag their religion is the "hardest religion in the world.".
the bible tells children to honor their parents.. the wts tells children to betray their parents.. if dubs really live in a "spiritual paradise," why do their lives have to be threatened to stay in it?.
Bad ass....love it
wouldn't being "mentally diseased" give you a pass at armageddon?
the wt claims that apostates are "mentally diseased".
most of us are aware of this claim on this forum.
Thanks for the posts you guys...
Definitely another bogus teaching from weirdo WT land. I know it's been discussed many times, I just had to post my insomniac thoughts last night.
It is strange how they changed the translation so quickly thereafter, it is really telling since they broadcasted that "mentally diseased" crap from the rooftops. It was at the district convention, in print, you name it.

1.you cannot change what you refuse to confront.. look at how you are feeling most of the time.
that sense of going nowhere and feeling down is not because you aren't spritual enough.
Cool some good points there.

The WT claims that apostates are "mentally diseased". Most of us are aware of this claim on this forum. (sorry don't have the WT quote)
Wouldn't a person with mental illness get a pass at Armageddon - since they are not capable of proper mental function?
Wouldn't that mean then that all apostates, given their "mentally diseased" status, get that same pass????
...
Other questions:
Should't you pity a person with a mental illness instead of treat them with disdain and judgement?
What psychotherapy and/or medications are used in the treatment of apostasy?
Do Jehovah's Witnesses disfellowship and shun all mentally ill people? or just apostates?
Inquiring minds want to know...

as i was growing up in a household with my grandparents, i heard a certain phrase hundreds of times, "well, you know what they say .
and i wondered: "who are "they"?.
it was my first encounter with shapeless, formless, invisible, abstract, non-descript, and anonymous authority.. the premise seemed to say:.
Yeah good post.
The WT is like a sleazy contractor who drags the job into infinity and never stops asking for more money.
aka crooks.
