theres going to be an explosion of under 23 yr old newly weds

in order to not be subject to such a foolish idea that guys should be a ministerial servant by the time they are 23, [which is entirely not up to them btw].

even though jesus wasnt even baptized till he was 30 and he was way more knowledgeble, .

[god i wish i could spell check on here] were going to have a whole lot of young people getting married before the guy turns 23 i suppose.. or a lot more 'worldy' people getting jw mates.. because using my logic, which is usually questionalble, lol, id be the girl who would hury and date someone right out of high school.

so gee, do the stats show that to be a ms has no bearing on a sucessful marraige? or the fact that jws are so limited in thier selection that its most likely Not going to work out very well

My Yoke is Kindly and My load is Light! What did this scripture mean to you as a JW?

by BU2B in

jesus said that "my yoke is kindly and my load is light" what did this scripture mean to you when you were mentally in?

did you feel the jw load was kindly and light?

if not, what was the point in him uttering those words?

sowhatnow

i wondered why it wasnt being applied

and wondered what light load he was refering to , because i did not see any jw with a light load.

which is a better attitude: I can't respect it, but I understand it or I cant understand it , but I will respect it?

by MissFit in

so is it possible to understand a reason and not respect it?

shouldn't understanding lead to a respect of the reasons and actions?.

or can you respect the reasons and actions without understanding them?.

sowhatnow

on another note, if they never get married they can never be accused of adultry.

sex between two concenting adults who love each other, and hurts no one. to me in not a sin.

plus, we are not under the law of moses.

so i can be married before the suggested 'cut off date', then as an annoying wife,

i can maybe nag my new man on how hes got to be a ministerial servant, and preside fine over his household. wow what a crazy statement this man made.

where does that leave all the brothers who are not in a position to be one? or the newly interested ones? [ pray for them ]

I wonder what the conversation was on the way home in the cars of so many of theses young people!

AND THEY WONDER WHY THERE IS A LACK OF INTREST FROM THE YOUNG ADULTS???

does God read our minds, or should we pray out loud?

by sowhatnow in

i always wondered, can god read our thoughts?

if he can then why cant satan?.

i was told by my mother that god can read our minds, but satan cant satan can only hear our words and see our motives and what we do,.

i was told by my mother that God can read our minds, but satan cant satan can only hear our words and see our motives and what we do,

[as can God]

yet the odd thing is, when Id watch a show, like I shouldnt be alive, or sone news show, the people that prayed To God said they cried it out loud and then the y were miraculously rescued. even people who never prayed before.

so, should we be praying out loud?

the bible actually says little about prayer, accept that I see that jesus told us to go into our room and pray in secret, he 'went away'

to pray, and condemed those who prayed in public. no where does it say we should get on our knees, or look to the sky, or take on any form,

or even pray for every meal with our family.

so all public prayers as far as I m concerned are improper. especially those convention prayers that last 10 minuets.

and on a side note, how do we now pray? to Jesus or God? clearly jehovah is not Gods real intended name,

what exactly are imitation or false christains?

by sowhatnow in

first of all pardon my spelling.

i was reading an older article on cedars website about the 'new light on the faithful slave' nonsense, and i was reminded of the phrase imitation christains.. in the article from in the july 15th study article titled l'ook i am with you all the days,' a timeline of sorts is presented, that states the.

wheat were/are annointed christains, .

in the article from in the july 15th study article titled l'ook i am with you all the days,' a timeline of sorts is presented, that states the

wheat were/are annointed christains,

and he weeds are imitation christains

where does that leave all of us 'genuine christains' who are not 'annointed'?

so the seperation work doesnt include all of humanity? hmm what happens to those who do not claim to be christains at all? t

where does the bible talk about imitation christains? what IS an imitation Christian? why would you BE an imitation christain?,

and how would we know who was one ? were not the judge of hearts.

if the harvest did not begin till 1914 what of all those in the past?

then it reads

1919-gathering into the storehouse annointed christains are gathered into the restored congregation

well who belongs to the congregation? who restored it? where was it before it was restored? where did it go? why was the retored congregation without annointed leaders if they need direction?

if at arnageddon teh weeds are burned, and those weeds are imitaion christains, then what of all those on earth who claim no religious affiliation to begin with?

[that magazine was the most bazarr peice of literary nonsense that i had read in a long time.]

correct me if Im wrong, but isnt the christain congregation LED by CHRIST in heaven

and are we not to 'belong' to any earthly organization, but rather belong to Christ?

and are we not subject to his rule, and not mans?

and are we all going to get the prize regardless of who we are as long as we believe that he is, follow his example?

that seems a lot more simple to me.

Zone Visit feedback, from ones still in??

by Crazyguy in

just wondering if any one has heard from ones still asleep, what their feedback has been and what comments have been made by the rank and file??.

.

sowhatnow

seems like newlyenlightened took all the notes there was to take.

and in 3 minuets covered just about all the nonsense there was,

that sounded like a very odd meeting arrangement, what on earth was the purpose for it.
