  Israelites as "examples for modern witnesses"??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it amazes me how the gb and witnesses keep using the ancient isrealites as examples for modern day "servants of god" (read: good witnesses).

  how can an ignorant, ancient people who worshipped with animal sacrifices, went to war, killed children, stoned people, treated women as property, called women unclean due to normal body cycles, allowed polygamy, etc......be used as good examples?.

  i mean, the gb can't have it both ways!

  I hate the new versions in the Sing to Jehovah. Is that because I am a big "A" now?

  Solving the Problem of a Generation that never ends ...

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw

  luke 21 is a difficult text to interpret.

  and jesus' failed prediction that the end would occur in the lifetime of those who heard him speak, makes the whole thing border on farce.. recall what he said:.

  30 when they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.. 31 even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of god is near.. 32 truly i tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.. 33 heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.. .

  33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

  Well that's put a downer on my evening!
  Where will his words be? I'll head there.

  Or there's the fact that the illustrations are all about trees, that live for thousands of years.

  2. friends

  i just walked back from getting my mail and happen to walk right by an automobile that belongs to the jw's who live in the end of my building.

  the sticker in the low left of the windshield caught my attention so i stopped to read it.

  it was a sticker that said......advanced medical directive.....no blood!

  "BABY ON BOARD" sticker too?
  
  Maybe
  
  "BABY ON BOARD.
  Drive Carefully.
  If you hit us we won't have blood!"

  I get so happy when I hear John Grant, I tend to monopolise forum threads. This is another great one!

  Jesus Hates Faggots
  
  I've felt uncomfortable since the day that I was born,
  Since the day I glimpsed the black abyss in your eyes.
  There's no way you could make all of this shit up on your own.
  It could only come from the mastermind of lies.
  
  I can't believe that I've considered taking my own life
  'Cause I believed the lies about me were the truth.
  It will be magic to watch your transformation when you realize that you've been had.
  It's enough to make a guy like me feel sad.
  
  'Cause you tell me that
  Jesus, he hates fruit loops, son.
  We told you that when you were young.
  Or pretty much anything you want him to
  Like sitcoms, pedophiles, and kangaroos.
  Morons who cut in line,
  Three-bean salad and parking fines.
  And when we win this war on society,
  I hope your blind eyes will be opened and you'll see.
  
  The arrogance it takes to walk around in the world the way you do--
  It turns my brain to jelly every time.
  The rage and fear I'm feeling have begun to make me sick,
  And I think that I might be about to commit a crime.
  
  And you tell me that
  Jesus, he hates homos, son.
  We told you that when you were young.
  Or pretty much anything you want him to
  Like coco puffs, red cars, and Jews.
  Postal clerks who waste your time.
  Weight loss shakes and the local news.
  And when we win the war on society
  I hope your blind eyes will be opened and you'll see.
  
  'Cause Jesus--
  He hates faggots, son.
  We told you that when you were young.
  Or pretty much anyone you want him to.
  Black niggers, spics, redskins, and kikes.
  Men who cannot tame their wives.
  Weaklings, cowards and bull dykes.
  And when we win the war on society,
  I hope your blind eyes will be opened and you'll see.

  Here's another from John Grant, and he even uses the word theocracy. I found this one incredibly moving, in fact, all his songs are.

  "Glacier"
  
  You just want to live your life
  The best way you know how
  But they keep on telling you
  That you are not allowed
  
  They say you are sick
  That you should hang your head in shame
  They are pointing fingers
  And want you to take the blame
  
  There are days when people are
  So nasty and convincing
  They say things beyond belief
  That sting and leave you wincing
  
  And to boot they say their words
  Come straight down from above
  And they really seem to think
  That what they're doing counts as love
  
  This pain
  It is a glacier moving through you
  And carving out deep valleys
  And creating spectacular landscapes
  And nourishing the ground
  With precious minerals and other stuff
  So, don't you become paralyzed with fear
  When things seem particularly rough

  Don't you pay them fuckers as they say no never mind
  They don't give two shits about you. It's the blind leading the blind
  What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy
  And what that boils down to is referred as hypocrisy

  Don't listen to anyone; get answers on your own
  Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone
  No one on this planet can tell you what to believe
  People like to talk a lot, and they like to deceive

  This pain
  It is a glacier moving through you
  And carving out deep valleys
  And creating spectacular landscapes
  And nourishing the ground
  With precious minerals and other stuff
  So, don't you become paralyzed with fear
  When things seem particularly rough

  I bought "Pale Green Ghosts" by John Grant (Oh man! His voice makes me believe there's a god!) and there are some amazing songs on them. Some of them make you think there were written for ex-Witnesses!
  
  I HATE THIS TOWN
  
  www.youtube.com/watch?v=spoBiVNOHWA

  Horrifying as it was for me
  To see your face today,
  I guess I knew that it would happen at some point.
  And I dreaded it because I knew
  That you would be so kind.
  You're good at that; you've got it right down to a science.
  
  So you observe the strict rules laid out in the books of etiquette
  And tell me you hope I enjoy my stay.
  And I feel numb, and I can't believe
  That I was stupid enough to leave my bed today.
  If I'm so smart, then why is this happening?
  
  You know, I hate this fucking town.
  You cannot even leave your fucking house
  Without running into someone who no longer cares about you--
  Somebody whom you desperately want to see,
  But you know it's only going to cause more grief
  'Cause there is nothing left to say,
  And he can't hear you anyway.
  
  It's so confusing 'cause I really want
  To hate you, but my intellect reminds me
  That that doesn't make no sense.
  And I wanted to be your friend,
  But I couldn't pull it off in the end.
  And I'm disappointed with myself because I thought I could.
  
  But then again you always made it clear
  That you do not care either way--
  Which begs the question,
  "How can I still claim to love you?"
  You told me time and time again
  That you don't lose--you always win--
  And that to make an effort would just be beneath you.
  
  You know, I hate this fucking town.
  You cannot even leave your fucking house
  Without running into someone who no longer cares about you--
  Somebody whom you desperately want to see,
  But you know it's only going to cause more grief
  'Cause there is nothing left to say.
  He can't hear you anyway.
  
  Now, I'm packing my bags again,
  And you are not inside of them.

  "Reports" is a posh word for 'gossip'.
