Matthew9969

Yes, this forum is good for light entertainment. Sometimes good for testing one's reactions to insults. 
Sometimes useful for reminders of a few scriptures, though when used by JWs those scriptures will be misused. 
Very very useful for seeing the true colours of JWs. 
Also quite useful for finding our information about the J W Org's lies and deciet. 
But never is it useful for spiritual upbuilding.  Anyone coming here for that will be very disappointed. 
Have a happy 'holiday time' soon and hopefully you will all live through into the new year. 
I wonder what 2022 will bring our way. (Yes I know it's only numbers to count time ) 

Although the situation is bad out there regarding all things COVID-19, we still need a bit of humor
 

Let's get right down to the REAL nitty-gritty .... where the rubber meets the road.
SCENARIO NO. 1:
Someone with an I.Q. not much higher than a Cocker Spaniel with a headache, let's call him T'MOOG, lives in the outback of Australia, eating termites, and standing on one leg to sleep at night. He has no concept of the Biblical Reference of Gog, Magog, or even of a Cocker Spaniel dog, Los Angeles Smog, or Kermit the Frog.
SCENARIO NO. 2:
Someone with an I.Q. in excess of 200 has studied Biblical Prophesy his whole adult life, let's call him ABNER EASTWOOD, and is one of only 23 people on Earth that has, or has ever understood completely what Jehovah has in mind .... including contingencies, ramifications, and subtle nuances in great detail.
He knows absolutely  everything there is to know about everything there is to know about Gog of Magog.
The fact remains that neither T'MOOG, or ABNER EASTWOOD can do Anything about any of it.
Nothing whatsoever.
Zip, Zero, Nada, Goose Eggs.
Meanwhile, ABNER is an unsufferable bore who beats others over their head with what he knows, and they care not at all, and is a truly miserable person. He has no joy in what he knows, as he is well aware THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO WITH THAT INFORMATION.
... and T'MOOG, who leads a very hard life, wakes up one morning, holding on to his spear, and puts both feet in the dirt beneath his bare feet, and like the Cocker Spaniel, looks out at the new day and realizes he is completely happy.

Many things that are labeled "politics" by the naive and ignorant are merely an above average sense of situational awareness of what is going on around you, and having an opinion about the wisdom or folly of the madness that has replaced common sense.
Whether it is the daily news of national events, or strategic geopolitical awareness, if you are a competent observer, even though you have no influence whatsoever, you will be labeled a "political person".  Unless you shut up and stifle yourself.
When you shut up and stifle yourself you become a dry and humorless person.
Think I am kidding?
Try this on for size:
"What's the difference between the Covid shots, and Kyle Rittenhouse?
Answer: " Kyle's shots were effective!"
Get it?
Of course not.

They have never been or now been witnessing to people, do you know how dumb that word 'witnessing' sounds. They are partakers in a business model of a pyramid scheme. They don't preach the Way, they preach the watchtower company.

You can have my lunch, looks like I won't be needing it.

How thoughtful of you, your trying to save me money on my car insurance:p

This has got to be satire, but wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't.

That's the problem when you get your water from a neck O' the woods ... of course if you have jugs of living water, it should be tested to see what's living in it.   Could be parasites, amoebas, tapeworms, or even dead guppies or other small fish. Or worse ... pieces of dead guppies or other dead insects.
...Like Gilda Radner used to say, as Rosanne Rosanadana, "If f it's not one thing ... it's another. .... It's always something!".
 

Yeah ..... It's always somethin'.
 
 

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
So occasionally these verses make me ponder if this ball of water existed for a long time, always existed, etc. before the act of creation. And I can't help but wonder if this is in any way related to the importance of water throughout the bible.
Got a lot of brain power on this site so I thought I'd start my research here.

What do you get when you cross Dexter with Hannible Lecter?

I can't wait til the org comes out with vr door knocking game🤪

This brings us back to 'What is an Apostate' ? 
apostate /əˈpɒsteɪt/ a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle. abandoning a religious or political belief or principle. "an apostate Roman Catholic"   So I am an apostate of the Watchtower / JW Org.    Why would people who dislike JW's despise a person that left the JW Org ?    And as you already know an Apostate Roman Catholic could become a JW. So being an apostate of a specific religion does not mean that a person is turning away from Almighty God or Jesus Christ.    People that don't like JW's may well be Ex-JWs, so they themselves would be apostate to the JW religion     Oh dear, the plot thickens. Coffee time .

Since we are talking about stuff like this ... just a passing note .....

A lot of people know the story of the Three Wise Men who visited the stable in Bethlehem, and gave gifts to the baby Jesus, but few know that there was a FOURTH wise man that was turned away, as his gift was a standard Christmas fruitcake.

What is your biological fathers name?

You seem to be coming at this from multiple directions.......... 
"emotional attachment " ?    I would call it empathy, due to having suffered similar (xero will now say I'm whining).
"That makes their behavior a judgment for the courts"  Yes
"not a true Christian."   That depends who commits the abuse and where. 
"How can any institution be blamed by the actions of another, worldly or not? "  Maybe not blamed for the actions, but blamed for their reactions. But you do not put it in any context, so your question is too 'open'. 
If the 'institution' is the JW Org, and if it deliberately hides CSA whilst at the same time pretending to be God's chosen Org, then warning should be given to the public about the dangers lurking within the JW Org. As an Ex-JW I feel it my Christian duty to warn people about the JW Org. Why ? Because i have knowledge of the workings of JWs and how they can manipulate people to gain people's trust. I have knowledge of the JW Org and the scaremongering it does in an effort to bring people into that Org... I do not have such knowledge about any other religion....... 
You seem to be aproaching this point from a wrong angle too.
The UK Data Protection Act gives me legal right to request my personal information. I have done this. My request has been accepted. They asked me for photo ID. I have sent them this ID. They are 'dealing with' my request. 
My original application for the information had to be answered within 40 days. That did so. All is going well on this. I am yet to see the outcome, but will make it known once i have a result. 
I have a legal (Data Protection) right to personal information about me.  If I required any other information I would need to use the 'Freedom of Information Act' UK. 
Please give me three examples of slander by me against the JW org. Three, repetition for emphasis remember. 
You, and others, may disapprove of my comments, but that does not make my comments slander. 
CSA within the JW Org has been proven many times. Failed predictions in the Watchtower/JW org have been proven many times too.  The GB / Lawyers refusing to hand over a Database of CSA/Pedophile accusations is a way of hiding Pedophiles within the JW Org. 
I have said many times that i do not expect to remain alive after the Judgement time, and if i die before, I do not expect a resurrection. My sins are many. BUT, my sins are commited against me. I bring judgement on myself, BUT I do not harm others. The Watchtower / JW Org cannot claim as much. 

The gb already stated they do not have the holy spirit, should they be disfellowsipped?
