  What should I do?

  by Tameria2001 in

  hello everyone, it's been quite a while since i was last on this forum.

  originally i was under a different user name, but lost all that information when i moved to a different state.

  anyways, i had left the jws back in 2001, after being raised up in it most of my childhood life.

  Most of those attending will be non-JWs, but they are jumping though hoops for the few JW relatives that are going to be there. I was informed just the day before this was to take place, that for a couple of hours of the reunion, we are allowed to be there, and then we have to leave. So the JW relatives won't throw a stink and make a big scene, like they did the last time.

  This is whack.

  Expected from the JW's, but what is the point of jumping through hoops for them. The JW's should not be attending a "worldly" function anyways.

  This is outright emotional abuse to all members of your family.

  Q: What would a full-time servant of Jehovah's Witnesses do if confronted with a homeless person who had lost their primary means of support?

  A: Read them a scripture.

  That’s why humans have such trouble recognizing lies. We first believe, then have to make a conscious effort to disbelieve.

  Nobody at work knows what JWs believe

  by Athanasius in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  recently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.

  the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.

  anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".

  No! No! No! This can't be true? brexit? No!

  it seems britain has voted to leave the eu in a move of total madness!

  the markets are already in free fall and the moronic bigots who campaigned for this are celebrating the demise of our country .. i can't see how a 49-51% split can be democratic?

  there is still the postal vote to come in, maybe there's hope in that?

  bye... bye.... no more new printing presses for jw.org... the growth is so tremendous (irony...).. all printing work in europe will be arrange in the next month only in selters (germany), but no renovation or upgrading in printing presses is expected... it will be a full outsourcing :).

  a worldly company axel s******* will be used.

  this company is known to be printing bild newspaper... the interesting part of it is the logistics will be as well outsourced.

  "holding the anointed elders in his right hand"

  by oppostate in

  2. beliefs

  (ks10 p11:1) revelation 1:20 depicts jesus as holding the anointed elders in his right hand, thus, by extension, indicating that he controls all bodies of elders for the purpose of accomplishing jehovah’s will.

  (re pp.

  in the shepherding book it says "holding the anointed elders in his right hand".

  It is the fundamental doctrine of the religion - the Bible was written only for the anointed, and therefore Jesus is only their mediator.

  Funny, then, that that is not in the Bible Teach book.

  Ahh, WT Writers

  the famous may 22, 1969 "never grow old in this system" awake.. in 1968 there was a fantastic 17-percent increase in crime over 1967. this came on top of many years of other large increases.

  the population, however, grew only one percent last year.

  so crime exploded seventeen times as fast as the population!.

  That's simple math, right?
