  S*** JW Parents Say

  my mom especially had some go-to phrases that to this day echo in my head and piss me off.

  things like, .

  "don't get mad at me for enforcing the rules, because jehovah made them, so if you don't like it, you're disrespecting him.

  My dad used to tell me to " put my dark clothes on and go play on the highway"

  He's still pretty awesome. But on a serious note he used to quote 1 corthinians "bad association spoils useful habits" when I wanted to hang out with school friends at age 10-12. So by age 14-16 I would sneak out and hang out with the worst people I could find, i.e punks, thugs, drug dealers. I guess I figured if everyone was bad it didn't matter. Not really his fault though. I blame it on the Borg and the mental abuse they subject even the youngest members to.

  With those holes in your cheeks, you'd probably get some of my brains in your mouth, and you wouldn't want that, would you? WOULD YOU?! GIVE ME THE MONEY!

  One simple fact about Jesus that MATTERS . .

  he had a human father.. all those doctrines of redemption, ransom and forgiveness come to nothing in the face of reality.

  we need to look after each other..

  Regardless of if he was real or not... The parable of the Good Sam is still a valuable lesson.

  I agree! I was telling a friend last night that it doesn't matter if you are catholic or baptist, it's about how you treat people. I was explaining about the parable of the Good Samaritan and how Jesus wants us to help anyone and everyone who is sick, lowly, poor or whatever even if we despise them. I mean the good Sam and the guy who was hurt were from two different religions that hated each other, like really really despised each other. Yet Jesus taught to put those differences aside and to help someone in need. If you saw a member of IsIs or Islam lying in the street, dying, would you help them? I think that's what Jesus was trying to tell us. Be kind to each other you idiots your all just lowlife humans.

  Wife wants a Family Study after the special talk...but initially refuses Bible only study.

  by garyneal in

  1. watchtower

  my wife asked me to attend the special talk with her because she wants to attend something like this as a family and feels that she "enjoys worshipping together" as a family.

  i have not been to church for at least a year and have pretty much abandoned the practicing of my faith but i can remember how i used to want to have a church going family so i obliged.

  i feel kind of apprehensive about doing these things because she wants the kids and i to be on our best behavior and has even fussed at me for playing tablet games during other talks.

  So basically if you have a bible based question you should only look for answer in the Borgs publications or by asking an Elder. Because if you look outside of the Borg you might actually find some truth.

  You could talk to a mature Christian, maybe one of the local elders. They have a good knowledge of the Bible and have served Jehovah for many years. If you need advice about a personal problem or decision, they would be able to help you since they are nearby, and they know you and your situation.
