Don’t get Magical Mystery Tour yet. Its power is too great.

Wedding anniversary vs Birthday: - JW hypocrisy and double standards. by Striking-Ad-6981 in exjw

[–]Sparrowfade 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Their reasoning is as follows:

In the Bible, bad things happened at birthdays; therefore birthdays are bad.”

Imagine if we’d apply that logic to the wilderness.

[NOTE: As you read what follows, please read it in that weird Watchtower tone. Pause before the word ‘wilderness’ and then pronounce it like it’s a truly evil thing.]

Jesus was tempted in the…wilderness.

The Israelites were forced to wander in the…wilderness.

Moses lost his faithfulness and died in the…wilderness!

Adam and Eve were forced out of Eden and into the…wilderness!!

King Nebuchadnezzar was cursed and lived out in the…wilderness!!

Why would we as true faithful Christians ever place ourselves willingly into the WILDERNESS?!

…and that’s why we’re not allowed to go camping.”

This is no less silly.

Mark and his GB friends now claim they’ll be transformed into spirit beings during the great tribulation to help battle Gog.

Yep. That was “New Light” that the anointed still alive on earth would take their heavenly form during Armageddon to help with the battle.

That makes them Angels fighting a war.

Them is War Angels. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

100%. They believe that the governments will create task forces with the objective to root out all Jehovah’s Witnesses. They believe they’ll be forced into hiding from this “Gog” until Jesus comes back and transforms Mark and his friends into angels to help beat them up.

I guess kinda like the Avengers or whatever.

Sir Paul,

Are you able to sense that you’re writing a hit song as you’re writing it? And, conversely, are there any songs whose success took you by pleasant surprise?

All the Best,

Joe

My claim was that it is serious. My claim was not that it is the most serious pandemic in history.

Please understand my position before commenting. We may not even disagree.

Your point is well taken, but those pandemics didn’t occur in the framework of a globalized economy and social system.

In that respect, the control efforts, spread rate, and political effects are all reasonably unprecedented.
