  What if we were a video game?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to imagine this, just imagine creating one yourself, like a video game.

  you create a virtual world, you design a planet, even a universe if you choose to.

  you focus on one planet and design it, create life on it.

  I always thought something like that about life. The reality of it is that, if something like that happened in our world like if someone creates a world designed by a super computer and becomes a god or deity to it, would not he eventually grow uninterested in his creation after a while? Lots of people leave what they have created themselves and go onto other things. If there was really a god, I would imagine he would be done with humans by now and not be fooling around with them making them wait for a judgement day.

  i have to go to the ca this weekend for family reasons... the only bright side is that i may spot some hypocrisy to share with others.

  if my suffering helps just one person then it's worth the effort.

  i know why the caged bird sings... .

  Your pain is identical to most. Getting through just sixty minutes of the rubbish is difficult. Can only imagine six full hours stacked on upon a chair listening to Meaningless rattle about the Russelites' pastorates and how to transform into one. It's like a part of you just doozes off. Make sure that you stay calm and assure yourself thaf everything is okay. Peace be with you.

  Home schooled witness kids

  by stillin in

  sorry if i'm stepping on any toes here, but i haven't seen anything positive about home-schooling...at all.

  the notion is that parents are taking advantage of the formative years to inculcate more worthwhile values while protecting their kids from worldly influences.

  they end up with lazy, socially inept, illiterate duds who haven't a clue.

  I can't fanthom that the Russelites had an education school on their own. Would not they be afraid of the circulation of the schooling? Another question I have is did they only allow fellow Russelites to attend? It surprises me that they would even be involved in a public school system.

  so i am at a loose end tonight.

  i am not going to the meeting and sitting on the back row looking repentant no way!.

  here are some options... care to add some if you wish, help me to decide.. 1. go to the meeting and sit in the middle, reading "einstein and religion" paperback, go in early and stay after the prayer.

  Suggest doing anything having recreation for a diversion of yourself. Anything that lets you relax from all those garbled meetings.

  Is the Watchtower Corporation guilty of purposely infusing a overwhelming amount of fear to control people ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you were to pin point out the workings of the wts., of what attracts people to the.

  organization and what is the catalyst that controls them once.

  they are inside of it, the conclusion would most likely be drawn that fear is the paramount.

  This will always be the main tactic to decieve humans into the Watchtower Corporation. Fear is something that will control and make people do just about anything. Therefore, brainwashing techniques will remain the Watchtower's cup of soup.

  The Bible: Most flawed document ever?

  by bboyneko in

  i came across this essay by joseph c. sommer:.

  contradictions.

  the fact that the bible contains contradictions is one reason why humanists consider the book to be an unreliable authority.

  The bible has been around TOO long. By now, it should have just been some book in a museum. Unfortunately, men kept using it to control the masses.

  uh huh. Maybe a little too open-minded, which explains how I came to believe the Watchtower Corporation.

  can a publisher "drop out" and still be in good standing?.

  I would believe the answer is yes because they always say you never graduate from the school. By them saying that, I don't think anyone would ever be apt to drop out.

  Never made sense. Never will. Always will be here just to justify the current anointed. Nothing more than that. I will never understand why their followers actually buy into this garbage. When I was Watchtower true believer, hardly ever heard about any kind of overlapping generation from them. Oh and if I did, I had not a teaspoon of understanding. It was always somrthing overlooked. But I don't think I have believed that.
