i have recently started studying and im really enjoying learning all about the truth!
i am a huge animal lover and have my dog trixie for 11 years now, i got her when i was 12 years old and she has been the best friend and companion, i am so lucky and grateful to have her at my side every single day!
i get worried a lot about what will happen when the time comes that she has to leave me, anytime i even think about it i start to cry because it would break my heart not to have her with me anymore!
Hi Nichole, I dare say your partners Dad knows full well what the general consensus is amongst Jehovah's Witnesses regarding animals being resurrected - in short - they won't. He is hedging with an answer because he doesn't want to hurt your feelings and put you off your study.
Try asking him what he personally thinks on this matter.
if this has been discussed i missed it.
i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.
but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.
1: where the "f" are you, since there are no signs of your existence?.
2: why did you "create" life forms that by default hate to follow what your rules.. 3:.
from what i read in the bible, why are you such a petulant, vengeful, bi-polar nut who seems to only look for flesh and spirit to kiss you enormous godly ass?.
Yo, G-man, how's it hangin, how about those JWs sayin they represent you?
Wo sparrow, who the f in my green earth are JWs?
You know, G, Jehovah's Witnesses, you chose them as your PR agents on the earth?
The f I did, I don't have any "agents" as you say on the earth. Been there, done that, it didn't work out the guy only lasted three years before they crucified him. Damn tough crowd down there.
Then, who are JWs and all the other religions?
How the f should I know, go ask Satan he has had quite a bit of success in the earth market.
i remember going out with other jws after the memorial.. small gatherings.. picnics at some local landmark.. the feeling of closeness, camaraderie, friendship with like minded people you could trust.. haven't experienced it since i left.. really miss that..
I realized before I stopped going to meetings that whatever sense of "belonging" I thought I had was only a product of belonging to a cult where everyone thought the same, felt the same, acted the same, dressed the same, talked the same. I had mistaken cult conformity with "togetherness."
So any feeling of true social connection weren't real because they only wanted to hang out with my cult self.
Tragic, JWs are really tragic.
when i look back, i wish that a landlord glimpse on my property and so she does not want more than me renting her home.
but, i still do not have a wish because she wants more money; she does not have to be satisfied to what she has.
and so a landlord commanded me to give the exact gifts, not let me to be a generous tenant to give whatever is from my heart.
background:.
i spent some time here awhile back as an unbelieving mate of a jw wife.
i learned a lot, and was able to be supportive and understanding when she decided to leave the jw.. unfortunately, my son seems to have internalized many of the jw teachings.
He needs to rid himself of the notion that JWs have the "truth."
The only antidote to their anxiety inducing lies is research and information. Would he be willing to visit JWfacts?
There are some youtubers that may interest him Pierre Burmester is a young guy and a good one to check out with him.
All the best to you.
i think it was gary and heather bottings' book the orwellian world of jehovah's wifnesses that noted the function of the habit of the watchtower organisation of changing organisational terminology periodically.
congregations became companies and then back to congregations again.
circuit overseers became circuit servants and then back again.
and the word is... .
canaanitelike!.
here it is in context, just in case you're curious about how to use this new word.. article: being faithful leads to god's approval.
Isn't there a kingdumb malady about a Canaanitelike thot.....or was that a Shulamitelike maiden.
Anywho, maybe I'm getting my ites mixed up.

Uh oh, promoting materialism? So I take it the WT will be donating their billions to the poor then.
To avoid being hypocrite-like.
hi, for over a year, i stopped attending meeting and field service.
actually, passively disassociated from the congregation.
but i did not stop reading and doing my own research.
Welcome Mrs Bouquet, yes it is good to get back in touch with your intuition isn't it.
