how long will it take for the r&f to realise what this letter means?

by purrpurr in

most of them at the hall will be half asleep as usual.

and the letter is worded very cleverly it just barely skims and hints at what's to come with the halls being sold off.

how many in the halls will realise what it means?

Looking Back, Do You Ever Think You Loved Jehovah God?

as a child, i was made to believe that i loved my mom and family and close friends but that i loved no one more than jehovah god.

did you ever really love him?.

I dont think we can truly Love an idea, which actually God sort of is.

because we are a physical being we need a physical being to love. In my opinion, we need actual contact , its what bonds feelings. Like wise, I can say that I would have a hard time saying 'I love my sister', If I never met her, spoke to her, or seen her, just knew of her.

So, If she died, I might be sad, but not distraut or devestated, as I do not have an emotional attachment to someone Ive never met.

I can say I dont think I ever loved God the same way I love my children.

the idea may have been that I did those things to show That I loved God.

or was it the idea of being special?

i watched this documentary on line, it was removed off you tube for copyright infringment, now i have to delete the bookmark.

but it was called who is jesus, and the true story of the catholic church.[ top documentary films,]

it was interesting. not sure what to think.

the bible, has kept mankiond in a tizzy for a long long time, much is missing, its not for us to try to figure it out and judge others by what they see.

I try to explain this to my mom, and it never fails she uses that old scripture

you must all speak in agreement.....

she says jesus said that, i said paul did, i dont care actually, and thats not what he meant that we all must think alike exactly the same its impossible were not clones.

this is what she is believing at her meetings That EVERYONE who is a wittness must speak the same! OMG how freaking boring!

i havent had time to go into detail about that situation in teh bible where he said that, to explain it to her, she just tells me over and over that we ALL must agree to be in harmony with God. bla bla bla, and since I dont agree, my faith is wavering.

yea well i hope my big mouth sister doesnt tell my jw mom that Im making a turkey this year a request of my husbands,

and having her and the kids over.

by raymond frantz in

i posted here a week ago some disturbing news for congregations being consolidated in britain.

my mom told me that on saturday they are having a 'special' buisness meeting to 'explain' all the changes that will come about. she was just at a saturday assembly day.

she asked me if i wanted to go. she knows i havent been to a meeting in many months.

I said why didnt they talk about that at the assemlby?

I told her i was going to my grandaughters birthday party.

she then said, well i got to get ready for meeting, and hung up.

i bet she tells my father who, all his life was not a jw, and critisized the jws, and who now, at age 74 is studying, [and calling me disturbed] ,

that i have decided to start celebrating holdays. lol,

well i have ONE grandchild, and for 12 years i have missed her parties and christmas days, and grandma days and all of that stuff,

and never bought her a single gift for her birthday.

well thats changing on her 13th birthday, this week. she will be an adult soon enough,

Ive missed enough memories sitting alone, being 45 minuets away by car,

not having her visit, and missing so much of her childhood school years.

jesus was under the law, so was paul, i believe, its still in force, yet Id say according to what i recall reading,

you either have t o come under the law and do it perfectly

or you remain a gentile who are not under the law.

the big problem with how I view the bible now, [knowing that revelation is only about the destruction of the temle at jerusalem, which is done,[and all scripture was written after the fact anyway,]

we can leave any revelation out of the formula. to me its figuring out IF ALL HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, with that destruction of the temple.

many jews did not acccept Jesus as a savior.

there is good reason based on some written and other historical evidence from lots of researchers, to believe jesus was invented by the roman governement to quiet the religious battles that went on at the time. they needed a state religon to force people to obey, to stop the unrest

.they chose christianity, and then those laws were forced on the populace. the reason behind this is the bible itself, many places tells people to obey the superior authorities, and is pro roman throighout making rome seem favorable to God.
