Also, its best not to try and 'reverse witness' while they are in actuall witnessing mode...then they are more on the offensive attack mode. But it will be more effective when its done "off duty" so to speak...when in an informal setting or occasion in general conversation....

A silly thought on freewill...

by new hope and happiness in

this was mythought on " freewill" and made me think...i need " air" to breath..so how was i born with freewill?.

stuckinarut2

WT Freewill defined:

'you are free to do whatever you like...as long as it is exactly what we allow you to do or direct you to do, then you are free to do it...but if you do something outside of that, then we are free to punish you and we will tell god to smite you at the big A'

But yes...you have free will....just like North Koreans have the free will to choose to get the state approved hair-cuts...or die...good choices really!!!

OH NO!! The latest clip for kids on JW.ORG so very wrong!

by stuckinarut2 in

so the latest clip on jw.org for kids is so wrong!.

it is about the "victory song".

lets all sing songs about how vengeful and destructive "our loving god" can be...along with cartoonish pictures...... all rejoice at the death of the evil people who used their "god-given free will", then got punished for doing so!.

stuckinarut2

No...it seems to be ok to sanction violence if it is done by God!

BUT...remember kiddies.."God is Love"!

SO, like an abusive spouse, "I only hit you cos I love you!...its for your own good...if you did exactly what I said, then I wouldnt be forced to Hurt or Kill you"...blah blah

Did you count the time for your "hour talk"?

hi fellow speakers (sorry, brothers only!):.

my first public talk, given in my early 20s, was actually a twenty-minute part of a symposium talk.

my pioneer partner friend and i each had twenty minutes and a "servant" had the concluding part.

stuckinarut2

Yes...but I never count properly anyway!

Mine just average out at an exagerated guess anyway...in fact my wife and I dont even talk about the reports...when I get a reminder email from the 'brothers' to submit ours, I just make up time and placements etc...for both of us!

I know that my wife knows this, and I think she is happy I do it for her...but she never actually asks what time I wrote in for her...I guess that way she doesnt feel guilty for lying, as she didnt actually do it herself!?

And yes...count all the preparation time for PT as well as the delivery....why not? I view it as time sacrificed from doing something actualy of interest or value!

normal, but tellingly offensive 'WT' language in Fridays text.

love one another john 13:34. then.

"---love for the elders---will help us to be submissive.. "-if we love our fellow humans, we will not view them as inferior [as mere dumb animals] or speak to them disrespectfully.

and elders who love god's sheep [like dumb animals] will treat them with tenderness."--.
