i thought i saw a putty cat, i did, i did see a putty cat, that bad ol slavering putty cat!
You have clearly invested your life in the JW faith so it must be hard.
Life is tough all round ... band your jaw, suck it up and stop whining. You remind me of some of those gay jokers in the other thread.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIs that so?
to reiterate, but i doubt it will do you zoobs any good, we have originated no prophesy,
we have merely sought to understand prophesy already written.
Then why have so many JWs predicted a year for the Second Coming? Several times. All wrong. As divegeester and the Bible have said, this is false prophecy.
In the Bible, it says that we shall know them by their fruits. Corrupt trees produce corrupt fruit, such as dates for the Second Coming which turn out to be wrong.
What troubles me even more than this, however, is your insistence that your Christian brothers are not Christian at all, therefore clearly you refuse to show love for your Christian brothers as commanded in the Bible. Hypocrisy of the first order.

claimed to be infallible, we have originated no prophesy, we have merely sought to
understand prophecy already written in the Bible, did i mention we have also killed no
one in two world wars, just saying! You might want to think about your Christian
churches record of killing innocents before extracting the rafter from my eye.
Who is the great Harlot who sits upon many waters? the churches of Christendom who
have made complicit pacts with the Kings (politicians) of the earth!!! Yes i said it!

[b]Ar,no ones making you read this post. The point here is-and it's a recurring one with JWs and other christians- that they just dont LISTEN
All I can say is, welcome aboard!! 😵
Originally posted by menace71She was just so damn nice otherwise. It was really hard to know how to treat her. I dont think telling her to get bent would've been appropriate in this case, however I could be wrong.
I see the point of the OP and I would of told the old lady get bent!!! Not very Christian but her not listening is not very Christian either

What I thought was funny was the songs. They were words straight out of scripture, no repitition of choruses or anything - just simple melodies with those god awful lyrics.
(I am not saying that scripture is god awful here. I am just saying that as songs the author didn't seem to have put much thought into the lyrics and the end result was very silly and yes- god awful)

Just because he doesn't get a forum ban doesn't mean that he is not constantly putting people down ( ie.anyone who doesn't agree with his particular brand of dogma ).

(I may be slow with my sense of humor-I readily admit that. But it really does suck to have my words totally twisted beyond all recognition. )
If that was an attempt at humor, it was abysmal . BTW, after careful consideration, I am a hindu now for all intensive purposes. Please remember that and try to show respect for those that have a different belief system to yours. Thank you in advance.

What is the best (sure not original) is when you show Galvo & RC what there organization has written they get very defensive. We did not make any of it up. It's freely available. 100+ years of false prophecy. Their excuse is well as times goes on we have gained a better understanding. 100+ years I wouldn't fear or take heed to anything the JW's say at all.

Christians were blowing each other to bits, I think your record of bloody warfare
speaks for itself indicating that you are weeds and counterfeit. BTW we have not
become defensive, we readily admit to having made mistakes, we have never claimed
to be infallible and we have originated no prophecy, merely seeking to understand
prophecy already written but I guess this truth doesn't interest, you'd rather be
justifying killing on a massive scale!
You will know if you are my disciples if you have love among yourselves , states the
Christ, how is killing and bombing one another a demonstration of love? Do tell?

That is a claim to be infallible.

prophets made mistakes, like Jonah for example. Many of Christ very own disciples
also made mistakes, you will therefore retract your slanderous statement and
issue a public apology or be forever known as the weed like Christian that you
evidently purport to be.
BTW quoting from watchtower magazines is pure straw, its not even considered to be
inspired, you might want to remember that when you are having your butt handed to
you every single time you quote from one!
