    James Thomas Rook Jr. reacted to TrueTomHarley in Jehovah's Witnesses Public club. Why ?   
    It is too early for @admin. He gets up late and then has to putz around for some time before checking the mail. I’ll answer for him. As Monk says, he’ll thank me later.
    Somewhat reluctantly, he finds himself hosting a religious JW forum, though he is not that way himself. No JWs on it are typical JWs because if they were typical they would be more acquiesent to their organization’s preference they not take part in such forums. One important reason their organization prefers that they abstain is the undignified mess that results when they do not.
    For a variety of reasons, some Witnesses go there anyway, and, to be sure, there are parts of the forum largely innocuous. I avoid these parts and go right to the hot areas. It has helped me hone my writing, and about half of my ebook, Dear Mr. Putin - Jehovah’s Witnesses Write Russia, can be found in about 500 fragments scattered throughout. Mr. Admin is thereby my friend. I owe him.
    As atypical JWs and their adversaries flail away, making points and counterpoints, some ridiculous, he has ‘lost it’ only twice to rebuke participants, once to say: “Jeez, you guys are a piece of work!” What could I tell him. That we’re not? 
    It is so rare for him to chime in that when he does, it is like hearing a voice from On High. The only appreciable difference is that a voice from On High is unlikely to say, “Jeez, you guys are a piece of work.”

    Srecko, never say never. Do not shut any doors and do not burn any bridges. Just imagine if the JW Org did get cleaned up by God. Imagine that God removed the GB for misconduct. Imagine that  God removed all the wicked Elders and replaced the GB and the bad Elders with honest hearted ones. You and i could return to the Org with a clear conscience. And with God's mercy and guidance of his holy spirit, we may even make it through Armageddon. Never give up hope Strecko. No one knows who will live or die.

    Leave her alone.
    Everyone is getting SO sensitive  about whatever she wears.
    I like the helmets... they are functional.

Instead you are going to use the excuse you werentoo afraid to say anything!! You either STAND UP and be BRAVE if you were TRULY HARASSED!! Otherwise, it's another fabricated story!!

    The GB are at LEAST totally aware of that.
    They are TOTALLY DESTROYING their credibility on every subject imaginable.
    THAT'S why shunning forbids people to talk to each other.

    Who inspected the tightness of their trousers ?  No one. 
    Who asked them if they masterbated and told them not to ? No one.
    There were more important issues then. 
    It seems as if there are no really important issues now, so the GB are making things up to keep themselves  busy.

    The difference between Christendom, and Muslims, if you can afford it ... is that in New York,  Christendom's parents can buy tailored bullet proof vests fro their children, and Muslims, for their kids, can buy bomb vests.
    What an 8 year old Muslim Girl would do in Heaven with 72 virgins, I cannot comprehend.

    About 8 years go, on fine Autumn day, I had a chain saw "jump back" on me, and I cut the left hand "trigger finger " almost completely off, at the first joint. and got blood all over me, my clothes and shoes, and the chain saw. 
    I stuck it back on ... let it bleed until it stopped naturally, and wrapped it with duct tape.  It healed up perfectly, but with a slight 12 degree angle towards the  ring finger, at that finger joint.
    .... while I was waiting for the blood to stop, my Son came in , and I looked at him,, held up my bloody hand and said " Tommy ... don't be stupid, like your Dad."
    I am encouraged that Jellyfish have lived for 300 Million Years, with no brain whatsoever.

    James Thomas Rook Jr. reacted to Evacuated in Jehovah’s Witnesses have always claimed with absolute certainty that Armageddon is just a few years away. 140 some years later, it still hasn’t happened. What makes them think it’ll still happen?   
    Well, how to make a dog's breakfast out of a basic statement???
    Let's untangle this. Let's speak about you. As you have used the personal pronoun "I", "you" features in my response. 
    If "you" say something wrong unintentionally, thinking sincerely "you" are right, then this means "you" are not deliberately sinning. It means "you" have made a mistake, misunderstood a matter, made a decision with insufficient or incorrect data etc.
    Your point here: "You gave reasoning, I am not deliberately sinning and not made sin" is a distortion of what I said. A statement was made by @John Butler proposing that if the GB endorse something which later is found to be incorrect, this must be deliberate sinning. My response was that this is not sinning as such (deliberate) but is more correctly termed and evaluated as a mistake as described above. A mistake of this type can certainly be termed a"sin" in the sense that it "misses the mark" of truth. But it is not deliberate.
    I will not go to such lengths to untangle reasoning of this type in the future, so, respectfully, I request that you give a little more thought to your reponses. ?

    You give a very reasonable scenario that may be 100% true ... or zero true.
    I have a completely different theory that is out of mainstream thinking.
    How many HARD FACTS do you have to support your theory?
    Same with my pet theory.
    NONE.

    And how many pages and pages did it take for you to finally admit that I was exactly right about Sarah and the Terminator?
    If you didn’t obfuscate so much, you’d have an answer to every one of your petulant questions by now.
    Do you think that you are the only one? If someone so much as farts at Bethel, Jack starts a thread on it, and I have to answer that, too, don’t I?
    And don’t forget my latest project: upvoting @Annaand then downvoting her for the same comment on another forum. And then I have to deal with John demanding why I am doing it? Is he crazy? It is like the eggheads at (disgraced) Bill Cosby’s old high school running around saying ‘Why is there air?’ Only the gym teacher knew the answer. ‘There’s air to blow up volleyballs and footballs and basketballs!

    Like they say, if the shoe fittest. I'm sure he had a "lot" to be desired.
    Anyway, if this had been my own thread I wouldn't feel bad about sullying it with bad puns. But now I feel bad for @indagator who surely hoped this would remain a serious topic.
