  by breakfast of champions in

  this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

  Today's watchtower. Why no emphasis on doctrine?

  by kneehighmiah in

  i believe the jws are morphing into a mainstream social religious group.

  we've long been taught we had the truth due to our suoerior doctrine.

  it appears that the gb knows that their teachings are ludicrous and indefensible.

  We put a lot of emphasis on the writings of one socially inept little nerd back in those days. What if we had known that one day all that "deep" stuff we studied would be dumped? Just imagine all those book studies I had to sit through as a kid - wasted. I could have stayed home and played like all the other kids, or at least done something that wasn't a waste.

  So True !

  Singapore: The Religious consequences of Tim Cook coming out as gay

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw

  as if we needed any further evidence that the minds of christians are not all that they should be, the shenagins in the christian segment of the christian segment of the singapore population once again demonstrated that each time they fart, they blow some of their brains away, and sadly they fart so much that there's not much brain left.. i guess most people have heard that time cook (boss of apple) publically stated this week that he was gay and proud of it.

  in most of the western world, it barely caused a ripple, but not so in singapore where christians are always lobbying the government against sin.. but, tim cook as a gay man provoked the ire of the singaporean church leadership.. i have not heard that anyone claimed that using an apple iphone would make you gay, but prominent church leader lawrence khong, was commissioned as an apostle by dr. peter wagner, of the international coalition of apostles, in 2000. .

  on hearing the news about tim cook, lawrence khong stop using iphone and even denounced technology altogether.

  Now that the printed word is less in demand, it's time for the Society to put all those Bethelites to work assembling their own JW.org Tablets and avoid using these tainted apple products in thier worship. Maybe that's why they're building that big compound in upstate NY even though they are scaling back on everything else.

  Human kindness

  by stillin in

  i hold kindness in high regard; it separates us from the drudgery of life and elevates those who practice it as well as those who receive it.

  my family has been going through a big crisis for several weeks now and i've noticed a few things.

  several of the elders have expressed their concern for us, shared a scripture and then back out to field service or whatever.

  Oh, the irony.

  today i was sat in a car full of jaydubs on the way home from the circuit assembly, and the discussion turned to halloween and how to avoid trick or treaters!.

  seriously, there was talk of pulling curtains shut across front doors and how disgusting it was that parents let their children knock on doors , and how annoying it is to get a knock on the door knowing it's an uninvited person!

  had to bite my tongue... .

  Halloween is the one time of year that JW's get to pull the HBH (home but hiding) maneuver on someone else.

  The book 1984 was published in 1949 and spoke of many technological advances that weren't known then. These have since been invented and are currently in use. Was the author George Orwell divinley inspired?

  Television has been around since the late 1940's but JW's never took advantage of it to spread their "lifesaving news" which could have been televised worldwide in a matter of minutes. Instead they plodded from door to door with poorly written literature, claiming that when the message is finally spread, the end will come.

  Were you or someone you know sexually molested by a Jehovah's Witness ?

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  due to the fact there are about 27,000 members of this religion that are known pedophiles, and the information about it is kept in a secret database file, i wonder how many lurking jw's as well as others are aware of the severity of this problem?

  remember, it's 27,000 pedophiles that they know about.

  what about the thousands that don't get caught?

  I think, instead that I should leave an open file on the computer at home with many of the news links for the latest court cases in San Diego and with Candice Conti.

  One could also download the information onto Flash drives with JW.org printed on the side and leave them lying around at the Kingdom Hall, Assembly Hall or out in the parking lots of these places.

  o m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).

  if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!

  so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?

  my mom told me yesterday, 'you need to read this weeks study article, its shows us how to know if we have the truth.'

  and so I GUESS I better humor her, and have a laugh myself, better arm myself with two highlighters, and a note book, and some tylenol...

  SOWHATNOW "Let me guess Mom....the article uses unprovable reasonings and connect the dot scriptures that lead the reader to conclude theirs is the true religion...right? "

  Typically, the Society only reports this kind of news when disaster befalls JW's who STAYED HOME from an assembly or meeting, making it seem as though they'd have been spared had they attended like they were supposed to. They'll just chalk this accident up to "time and unforseen occurances" .
