  Bringing reproach on Jehovah's name? My step-daughter to be DF'd

  by wordlywife in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why is it considered that a person's bad/poor actions bring reproach upon god?

  i don't understand this one bit when i hear my husband talk about it.

  my stepdaughter is most likely going to be df'd soon (for being a typical teeneager as far as my worldly views).

  Isaiah 40: 15 Look! The nations are as a drop from a bucket; and as the film of dust on the scales they have been accounted. Look! He lifts the islands themselves as mere fine [dust]. 17 All the nations are as something nonexistent in front of him; as nothing and an unreality they have been accounted to him.

  22 There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell.

  The Bible itself mentions that men are viewed as "mere grasshoppers", "dust", "made of dust". If we're regarded this insignificant by this Almightly God, how in the world could such a low creature in comparison bring reproach to its creator???!!!

  The concept is incomprehensible!!!!!!!!!!

  It's almost like saying that the doings and behavior of ants or other lower forms of life bring reproach to humans, which are considered superior in comparison. The reasoning that mankind brings reproach to an Almighty God is just pure craziness!!!

  Dedpoet,

  Welcome!

  I'm considered 'spiritually weak' and I've experienced a form of shunning from the 'holier than Thou' type at the KH. So, don't feel bad about it.

  Who is the Faithful and Discrete Slave?

  by Etude in

  recently, i've had memories about that topic, which i had suppressed for a long time.

  my original question came up when i encountered a few members of the "anointed" in my congregation (we're talking almost 30 years ago).. there was one sister who partook of the "emblems" who had come from cuba.

  i learned from her that her health was frail because she had smuggled some expensive jewelry in a condom and stuck it up her colon.

  The answer varies, depending on who you ask.

  7th Day Adventists say it's them. Pentecostals say it's them. Baptists say it's them. Jewish still believe they're exclusively God's people. Everybody believes they're the ones that got it right.

  End of the World Near?

  i am wondering how many people out there still believe that in the next 100 years or so that this world/earth is going to be destroyed?.

  my husband is a christian, and sometimes he is obsessed with world events in the middle east and he thinks one day soon all the christians are going to be raptured away to heaven while the antichrist rules here on earth.

  i am extremely uncomfortable when he talks about it because it reminds me of the jws.. any thoughts out there?

  If anything, I think one of these days one of the countries lead by extremists loonies will release a nuclear device towards a target or a harmful biological agent, thus knocking mankind back to the stone age.

  Just an exaggeration, of course.

  I remember in the mid-70s/early 80s, how scientists and other knowledgeable people used to say mankind wouldn't make it to the year 2000 if things kept up as they were back then.

  Here we are pushing 2006.

  Due to my advanced age, the end of my world is now closer than it ever was. Tomorrow will be even closer.

  Anyone may go to a KH if they wish. Prepare to be impressed by the huge love bombing that will go on at the beginning.

  Are You For or Against Abortion?

  Undecided. It varies from case to case.

  In case of pregnancy resulting from rape, abuse, or incest, definitely for it. In cases where it's well established that birth defects will bring poor quality of life, definitely for it.

  Let's say I had a drug addict daughter that got pregnant and was running the streets looking for drugs. I'd have her get an abortion, and if I had my say in it, I'd have her sterilized too. Same in the case of people that due to their mental of physical challenge cannot care for themselves, much less will they care for a baby.

  It all sounds cold, I know. It's my reality.
