hmm, if jesus is mediator only for the 144,000, then why arent they 'ruling' over the flock?

or better yet, where does it say that in the bible?

sadly in that organization, the 144,000 have no honor anymore

i've been drinking 1 tbs with a glass of water twice daily for digestion for about 3 weeks now.

i've found it helps, but it also acts as an appetite suppressant; i've lost several pounds since using it.

i'm consuming fewer calories because i'm just not as hungry as before.

my daughter swears by it. my brother took it to get rid of his acid reflux. and me, IF I could get past the burning of my throat, yes even a teaspoon in water burns, i might benefit too

Craziest demon/magic/supernatural stories you heard when you were a JW

share yours, i'll start if off, i have a few i heard from the platform or from other jw's.

one from the platform, a witch was studying with jw's, and she had a relationship with demons/spirits.

when she was studying they turned on her and threatened her if she didn't stop.

My Mom Hopes I Die Before The Great Tribulation Comes
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
she told me that yesterday and i just chuckled.. .

.
sowhatnow

Im sure mine thinks that way too, however, if she ever were t o say that, Ill simply point out that when Jesus truned to the criminal

hanging next to him, who on his death bed , so to speak, said remember me, and jesus said you will be with me in paradise.

so there apparently was no judgment time for this man, if he got paradise.

becasue all the bbile says is believe and youll be saved, so, they guy believed, and i guess he was saved, so dear mom, i can on my death bed be 'saved' if i ask to be remembered.

ill go with that for now

Why I hate Tuesdays
by kneehighmiah in
1. jw
2. friends
all throughout my life tuesdays were my meeting nights.

well tuesdays and thursdays to be more precise, when we had book study but book study was at my house so it wasn't terrible.

anyways as a kid i hated coming home from school, doing homework and then going to the meetings.
sowhatnow

as a child, I hated satrudays and sundays because i was dificult to wake up. school for me was a nightmare.

i hated service, so saturday was not a day i looked forward to.

my mother would spring on me at the last moment the news that we were going out in service, be it after the meeting or saturday morn.

i was never mentally prepared.

she never made plans she thrust stuff on me out of the blue. and week nights shed be the last one out, we wouldnt get home till 10 or 11 pm

and i had to get up for school at 6. i needed 10 hours of sleep half my life.

every single time school had any sort of event, like open house , or a football game, or anything fun. it was always on a tuesday or thursday. it

never failed!

so i couldnt go. my mom never ever did anything for me involvong school.[she wouldn miss a meeting no matter what,even when my dad was in the hospital! shed leave him for a convention too.]

i had one friend in school. and if my mom had her way she would have put a stop to it.

Where Are You on The Witno Scale?
by tresdecu in
1. jw
2. friends
1 - still think it's the truth ...came to this site cause danger is your middle name.. 2 - concerned, smoething's amiss but still believe.

3 - 98% sure it's bs, but still go for / with family.

4 - anger / denial, inactive with minimal attendance (ie memorial, spec talk etc).
sowhatnow

yea, i m a 4 1/2 to 5. because come memorial i have no clue how im going to deal with that when it comes to my mother.she will tell me to go up to her hall. but ill tell her im going to someone elses.

hopefully she will not ask someone from the current cong i did go to, if i showed up. although, its pretty crowded so no one notices anyway.

I'm curious about the Publisher Record Card.
by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

2. beliefs
i was once told that a publisher had the right to examine their own record card.. what would happen if a publisher examined it and threw it out?.

.

sowhatnow

wow, toweragent how did you not stand there and giggle like a ten year old?

ive never seen mine, never signed anything, and its MIA right now has been for three years.

becasue when i moved into an apartment while my husband and i were seperated

it got sent to that cong, and then when i came back , it never came with me. one time an elder aksed me if i was going to return to the cong and where shoud he send y card to, and i said here i guess, i was stuned becasue i had been going there for almost 8 months.

i never heard about it again. who the heck knows what it says, i never did anything to write down. maybe it says 'weak service habits' lol

and why were we called publishers?

because they publish books and 'sell' them
