Once an elder said saying Oh My God was offensive to God because it was like we were blaming him for what we were seeing or hearing....

TV shows, coloring books, movies, library books all were considered as opeining avenues. I remember one CO came and I had invited a bible study that was progressing rapidly. Then the CO says during his talk that even bibles we had while in false religion could involke the demons. Needless to say that was the last time I saw that bible study ever again.

I've heard the field service stories of where charging dogs stopped in mid-air when they lunged at a dub. Everyone claimed it was an angel that stopped it. Another one was where some guy was gonna attack the next set of dubs that came by his house. When they eventually showed up, he was afraid to attack because of the huge third guy standing behind the two dubs. Of course the stories were embellished by whoever told the story.
I guess Jah is discriminatory because I know of other dubs that were bitten by dogs while in service, I myself was chased and narrowly missed getting bitten. I know of a sister that was shot at the door. I know others that were run off property by shotgun and other implements of destruction. Where was that angel then?
How about this one? In case of a natural disaster, run to the local Kingdom Hall. Jehovah will protect his people that gather there.

**I remember hearing from the platform that if we fall asleep during our bedtime prayer it is showing a great disrespect for Jehovah.
Cybs,
I used to get SO upset with myself when I'd do that! I can't tell you how many times I'd wake back up during the night and "apologize to Jehovah" for my offense!
Obviously, I took it seriously.
hugs,
Annie

If you start getting a strange feeling in field service and have an uncontrollable urge to turn around and go to a particular house, more than likely that person was praying for you to come.

Wow, i always had a feeling about getting in my car and going home. Does that mean that people were praying for me to leave?

The physical heart is the seat of personality so heart transplants or mechanical hearts were a big no no
Peoples personalities change after a blood transfusion and they take on the personality of the donor.
Aluminum and vaccinations are bad but iridology is pure science and ok

The internet is satanic. The only way to get to heaven is to serve a publishing corporation . Sports cars are evil . Wearing shorts and a T shirt will only attract the demons . It's too late for women to have babies . The world ended invisibly in 1914 and or 1975. I remember that dancing to disco music with strobe lights and such was considered evil .( back in the 70's)
