  Money....

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe all our worst nightmare are believing money will make our life's complete.

  i am not talking about money providing life's comforts, but i am mortified that contentment and happiness always requires " more money"..ummm i need a window cleaner, a flashy car and a 50inch t.v screen to be happy.

  money...well in my opinion we need money integrity to be happy, but it seems such a waste of life to search for the making of money more than ....well what i mean "hey" most of us have more money than most, and would the making or having more money really make you happier?.

  I do agree money does not necessary bring you happiness. But let me say that as a witness we were always discouraged from having nice things or would criticize you as being materialistic, you couldn't take a nice vacation because others would make you feel guilty and say "must be nice that you can afford it"?

  Agreed. Congs are full of miserable people who are bitter, easily jealous, & envious. They don't like to see others being better off than them & can't stand to see other people being happy, enjoying themselves, & having a good time!

  Money does not equate to happiness - true. But I'll rather cry in a limo, private jet, or private yacht rather than on a bicycle! =)

  Money does not equate to happiness, but it can help to alleviate the pain

  Problem with JW's is, many of them are unhappy and DO NOT have money at the same time!

  "Don't make mountains out of molehills"

  by stephanie61092 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  during the talk today, the speaker said, in reference to apostates, "don't make mountains out of molehills" and "all those who are do good to look up isaiah 43:18.

  " to save you trouble, it says: "do not remember the former things, and do not dwell on the past.".

  i'd like to see him read that scripture to the victims of the hundreds and hundreds of abuse cases the arc has unveiled from over the past 50 years.

  By it's adherence to absurd man-made rules & failure to tackle sex abuse, the organization has itself to blame for the molehills turning into mountains!

  Which delusion will you choose?

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it occurred to me while at today's wt study that over 100 people were wasting an hour of their life studiously examining the differences between two delusions, paradise earth and the heavenly hope.

  everyone made it sound so serious when in reality it means nothing at all.

  either choice is wrong and foolish nonsense.. it was mentioned that mark sanderson found his heavenly calling at very young age.

  If only they could spend the same amount of time each week to help people in need!

  Wasting time considering nonsense - 1

  Helping people in need - 0

  The Kingdom Message

  by truth doubter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  regarding the unique preaching of the kingdom by wt (new creation, heavenly kings, priests and judges, restoration of paradise on earth etc.).

  the scriptures seem to back up wts interpretation.

  so, although there are a million reasons to become inactive, how can our conscience allow us not to become active in the work described at matt.

  Do you honestly believe that a loving God would destroy more than 8 billion people or 99.99% of the world's population simply because they are not convinced that JW's have the truth???

  Talking to a wall

  by ivanatahan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why must these people be figurative walls when talking about the lies of the jw cult?.

  the other day, i had a conversation with my mother.

  we started talking about the election and how the candidates differ (me being a supporter of bernie).

  I get the "It's not a perfect religion, but it's still the best there is" excuse everytime I talk to my mum. Followed by "Where else would we go to?" I feel like I'm talking to a wall too!

  Today's Text Is A Joke - Be Humble And Consider Others Superior???!

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  thursday, march 17. with humility consider others superior to you.—phil.

  2:3.. we appreciate it when people are straightforward yet tactful when approaching us.

  how can we extend the same courtesy to those we meet in our ministry?

  tor1500:

  Somehow I'm a JW, but don't fit in....not that I'm trying....I do what I do...I go out in the ministry, spend time with the friends, go to my meetings, do my lessons...& live my life

  That was the situation I was in after I learned TTATT, until I REALLY couldn't take it anymore & faded. I'm guessing you are stuck in the org because of family?
