"Well the car was out of gas. I 'left it in Jehovah's hands'™, but he didn't fill up the tank, so what could I do?"
James 1:27
Hey, that's up to God, not us.
Can you not read between the lines?
Silly widows.
Love your post, Lisa.

Leave it in Jehovah's Hands - Your thoughts?
by berrygerry inleave it in jehovah's hands.
is there a more disgusting phrase in jw land?.
the abuse, harms, thefts, suicides, family destruction - leave it in jehovah's hands.. why would anyone with a more than 2 neurons say, "oh that makes sense," we do not need to change or intervene in any way.. sooner or later, god will take of things.. .

From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?
by Hidden-Window inas we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.
i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.
what about you?.

Satan has justification in claiming that God has created a 'rigged game' when he rewards Witnesses' chickens with better reproductive powers and greater immunity to disease - only when the Witnesses attend a District Convention! ( yb13 p. 138 Myanmar (Burma) Not Forsaking Christian Gatherings - “We wanted to attend the district convention in Tahan, a two-day journey away by boat and truck,” he explains. “But no one would watch over our chickens while we were away. Still, we put our trust in Jehovah and attended the convention. Returning home, we found that we had lost 19 chickens, Yet, one year later, our small flock had increased to more than 60 chickens. And while many villagers lost their chickens to disease that year, none of our chickens died.”
I mentally wrestled for decades with the inherent contradiction of "the moral of the story" in the story of Job and the weekly teaching of Matt. 6:33, and exhausted weeks of research without ever receiving any kind of reasonable answer.
Job was tested with the loss of everything, including his children, because of his unwavering devotion to God. This was an answer to Satan. (Besides the obvious that once one person has remained faithful, and provided an answer to Satan, then why must this charade continue? - it's been answered.)
So, does not Jesus contradict Job, by saying that God WILL PROVIDE if you put him first.
Which is it?
God will provide if you serve him.
Or. God will allow Satan to take away EVERYTHING, including your children, if you serve him.

I do not think that it is so much the "longer in" as it is "one step closer to death" ( http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/pinkfloyd/time.html ) and the realization that you are no different than your parents, grandparents, ( insert overlapped generation here ) , etc. and you are / have wasting/ed your life

1973 Release from Liability form
by Marvin Shilmer intoday i added a new article to my blog.
it will appeal to readers interested in historical documentation of watchtower blood doctrine.
it contains an image of a very rare document from the early 1970s stipulating what jehovah's witnesses do not allow.

You could turn it into a project.
Record or document your experiences, and after a length of time, post your observations and results.
Unless you integrate, your odds of any kind of success will extremely low.
If you play the game for a while, and you're a male wearing pants, you may be able to attract attention from a female, and maybe succeed that way, but that raises a number of ethical issues.

If you're not baptized, just move on.
Unless, you want to bring someone out with you.
