  Mid Week Meeting. The book of Job....what does this teach me about Jehovah

  by tor1500 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it me or are you having a hard time commenting on what does this week's bible reading teach me about jehovah & what points from this week's bible study reading can i use in the field ministry ?

  i'm having a hard time commenting because what does job show about jehovah....well, # 1 he allowed job's suffering, but he didn't let satan take his life.

  # 2 what scripture could one use in the field ministry regarding the book of job...talking to a householder, see if you don't behave, god's gonna get you....or allow satan to get you.

  The Job story teaches us that

  Jehovah the all powerful, all intelligent, all loving being is never satisfied. WTF?

  Jehovah does not value our loyalty, service or sacrifice, as a matter of fact you are more likely to be used for sport by the "Gods" if you are.

  Jehovah views replacing lost cattle as being the same as replacing lost human children. WTF?

  If Jehovah kills all your children and strikes you with malignant boils you better not complain about it you whiney bitch! WTF?

  Also, Jehovah allows Satan to abuse his children! WT actual F is up with that?

  when i was thinking about trump's personality and appeal it reminded me of joe rutherford.

  be loud, bombastic, always project that your viewpoint is 100% correct and you will nonetheless get people who will follow you to the ends of the earth...

  Seems there are a few throughout history who knew the importance and power of displaying supreme confidence whilst feeding their agenda to the masses.

  Actually, the drug overdose doesn't fit with his otherwise healthy lifestyle. He was a vegan, he worked out, he didn't smoke or take recreational drugs by all indications he was very health conscious. He may have been out there creatively and artistically but by all accounts he took care of himself. I reckon if he did OD on prescription drugs it must have been an accident or some contraindicated drug mix up.

  Baby talk...

  gee reading my earliest posts, i feel i arrived here needing a head transplant.

  of course we can't ban our earliest posts, and we can't claim we were misquoted, but then again think about it, many of us come here with geoffrey jacksons brains and mind control ruling our thinking.. so i looked back at my earlier posts, and i imagined the man i was who made them.

  to be honest i hardly recognized him, i feel infinitely a better and wiser less pious now, however i i don't feel so clever nor do i have such a deep religious faith.. anyway, the thread was made because i have often read posters past threads in order to get to know them better, but it never occurred to me to read my own past threads, and i learnt i am glad i had the guts to make my earlier posts, but the person that made them is in the far distant past.

  Well, there is a Simpsons episode where some men in suits (elders perhaps?) instruct Homer to kill Prince. Homer kills Prince by wrestling his guitar off him and stabbing him in the back with it. DUN DUN DUUUUUN!!!

  Hello

  by WITNESS-FOR-WATCHTOWER-REFORM in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just to say a big hello.

  i have been reading this site for some time now and have been very unhappy with some of the things emanating from watchtower head quarters in new york.

  the final straw for me is the upcoming watchtower study this weekend encouraging us to shun our own family members (our own mothers if need be) if they are disfellowshipped....a step too far for my liking.

  Hi WWR, I admire your enthusiasm and yeah if everyone wrote a stern letter every now and then it may cause a few chuckles around the morning worship table at Bethel.

  I myself don't believe WT can be changed it has to be stopped so my wishful thinking is for a takedown rather than reform. Even a slow unraveling will do me.😇

  Welcome to your life, there's no turning back.

  I love Prince's music and the guy was surely talented. I have no business judging his lifestyle choices, after all who really knows these megastars...I mean really knows.

  I do have a huge problem, on the other hand with WT's double standards.

  When dealing with a "big fish" they are tolerant and forgiving of personal matters and choices.

  When dealing with regular r&f they are brutal, merciless, and intolerant of the slightest infraction. Happy to delete, disfellowship and "mark" people they have no use for as bad association and don't give a flying fig about the lives they destroy in the process.

  The WT likely showed a very different side of themselves to "Brother " Prince than the one you and I are familiar with.

  prince could give everything to the watchtower.

  so that's his $300 million fortune.

  I agree with Finkelstein, there is every reason to believe Prince had lapsed considerably over the last few years.

  Occult symbolism and imagery still played into his stage acts, and fashion statements particularly third eye imagery etc. I get the impression he had faded.

  I really do hope he didn't leave any of his hard earned money to those parasites.
