Re: a strange thing happened to me right now involving jehovah's witnesses...
I GUESS THAT I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY YOU ARE UPSET WITH THESE BUILDINGS
AT LEAST THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS IN THEIR COUNTRY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT .
IN THIS COUNTRY WE JUST IGONORE THE HOMELESS AND ACT LIKE THEY ARE NOT THERE.
I THINK THAT IT IS UP TO US TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN HERE IN THIS COUNTRY....OUR HOMELESS LIVE IN CARDBOARD BOXES OR UNDER BRIDGES, OR IN ALLEYWAYS.
 Quoting: 7777StarBorn


I don't think this has to do with creating homes for the homeless but moving undesirables away from others. And the scary part is who decides who is undesirable. Understand?

Re: a strange thing happened to me right now involving jehovah's witnesses...
i posted on my fb the links to show that amsterdam is shipping "nuisance" people off to live on the edges of society in "containers"

i posted this and NONE of my sensitive liberal intelligent caring friends said SHIT.

i cried out and said, can anyone see me post? and i recieved a yes from my fb friends. i then gave out the url to what i had posted about the new concentration camps.

NOTHING.

SILENCE.

this was very upsetting to me and i was just about to post to my fb that i was so upset by the silence i was considering leaving and never coming back.

not because of fb but because of my friend's silence.

my heart was tearing in two.

THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENS. THIS IS HOW THE HOLOCAUST HAPPENS.

right then, as if weirdly on queue, there was a knock at my door. which doesn't happen often because i live in the country.

guess who it was?? it was JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!

anyone of my friends would have taken this as some sort of cosmic JOKE.

i let them in and i told them about the camps being made in amsterdam and i told them to spread the word about this.

the universe works in strange ways.

and right when they sat down on my couch, the scarf i had tied the windchimes with fell off, and the windchimes starting chiming. so whatever juju they got working for them i say ALRIGHTY.

whoever will listen and take ACTION i will work with. if it's jehovah's witnesses then SO BE IT. i am not picky.
 Quoting: pink cat

Silence?

Wow and all in caps.

Aw Jeez princess, getting upset because you feel no one is listening to you? Wow. How disgusting as we all know the world revolves around you

Fucking hilarious. Keep it up princess. You too could end up on the world comedy festival circuit.

Nothing? Silence? Still pissing myself laughing. Thanks for the great laugh
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28400610


It is not that they are not listening to her but are not upset at what is happening. That Hitler could happen all over again and people would be silent if it doesn't affect them.

Re: a strange thing happened to me right now involving jehovah's witnesses...
when i used to live alone i would sit and pray that Jehovah's witnesses would come by... just so I would have someone to talk to... that sounds pathetic lol but it worked a few times.

except i never let em in, im much too paranoid... "what if they are murderers pretending to be Jehovah's Witnesses?" That was my line of thought... but we would sit on the porch and talk.

I remember one girl she was really really really cute, she was going door to door alone! I begged and begged her to never do that again! lol

we talked for hours and she was so awesome and cute, I almost converted over. lol

but... last time i heard from her she is doing good and doesnt do the alone door to door thing anymore :)

The universe does work in mysterious ways! Cos it seemed to me that when I was at my loneliest and felt the greatest longing... a JW would show up on my door. and they would give me the conversion speech... but afterwards they actually visited with me and kept me company for a short while.

and the creepiest thing is... i havent seen them since i am not lonely anymore... i've heard several stories of JH's showing up when "needed" for one reason or another...

and sounds like that be the case here

i dont think they are other worldly beings, they are in the flesh like you and I... but I think at times they are instruments of divine interception :)

We are people living in Jesus Christ and we are with all lonely people, we want to take care of all those who this world disrespects and make them feel loved and cared

Re: a strange thing happened to me right now involving jehovah's witnesses...
The thing is Jehovah claims to be god, but he is NOT God. He is a demi-god, ask an adept shaman or yogi. Like I said I used to be JW so I know what they believe in, but they claim that they will have the 144,000 chosen ones in their organization which is ridiculous. The 144,000 aren't JW's, they are like capacitors for the Earth so they are people with auras of a mile in radius, lightworkers, and all that electromagnetism will split the multiverse into the New Earth. They believe the world will end, just watch, mark my words it will TRANSFORM, but ONLY if you are in the right multiverse.

From Merriam's free online dictionary:
[link to www.merriam-webster.com]

Definition of CULT

1: formal religious veneration : worship
2: a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also: its body of adherents
3: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also: its body of adherents
4: a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>
5 a: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially: such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad
b: the object of such devotion
c: a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion


If you mean JWs are a cult by definition #1, then yes, but then again that would categorize all/any formal religions or form of worship as such as well.

But surely those using the word cult could care less what it's formal definition is so long as it has the affect desired... to slander. Why not be kind and merciful with your choice of words? It's so easy to be filled with hate and attack others just because you dont agree on what they believe... and what's worse (as can be seen by the posts), to promulgate false stories about them due to that hate.

By definition #1 Jesus and his followers and early Christianity would be classified as a cult as well.

JW's believe that Jesus is God's son like the Bible teaches. And that is it God's son that died for our sins. God did not die.

The majority of religions that call themselves Christian follow Constantine who mixed in pagan beliefs with Christian ones at the Council of Nicea and that is where they came up with the Trinity. It is not a first century Christian teaching.

And even Jesus calls himself God's son.

John 10:36

what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?

If you mean JWs are a cult by definition #1, then yes, but then again that would categorize all/any formal religions or form of worship as such as well.

But surely those using the word cult could care less what it's formal definition is so long as it has the affect desired... to slander. Why not be kind and merciful with your choice of words? It's so easy to be filled with hate and attack others just because you dont agree on what they believe... and what's worse (as can be seen by the posts), to promulgate false stories about them due to that hate.

By definition #1 Jesus and his followers and early Christianity would be classified as a cult as well.
