42I don't get it
by lola28 ini need some help in understanding something that's been bothering me for a while, please give me some insight on this.
i often see posts here where some take shots at elders and witnesses for working as janitors and window washers, and it's always bothered me.
i mean does it really matter what they do for a living as long as they are making a living honestly?

Confrontation - is it for Christians?
by jgnat inagapa's quiet admission to "imperfect men" in the congregation inspired me to finish a small bible study on confrontation, and how the early church handled disputes.. (romans 12:18 rv) if it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.
(2 cor 13:11 cev) good-by, my friends.
do better and pay attention to what i have said.

Flash the discussion at hand was that the WT DOESNT print information on how to handle disputes...
No, the discussion at hand is the content of her Thread, how True Christians ought to be handling their differances vs the standards imposed on them by men who are "lording it over" them.
Your dispute with her on a technicality is a minor side-point.
Matthew 23: 23 and 24
23 "...hypocrites!...you give a tenth of the mint and the dill and the cumming but you have disregarded the weightier matters of the Law, namely, justice and mercy and faithfulness...24 Blind guides, who strain out the gnat but gulp down the camel!"

Your insight on the matter is absolutely correct. It is also a clear comparison between Christ's way and the Modern Scribe's and Pharisee's way.

There is theory and there is practice. The WTS 'Talks the Talk' but it doesn't 'Walk the Walk' ...and that's the problem.

...Or rather should we not give them what they are looking for and simply say we do not wish to discuss religion?
I go with this one. It will be absolute torcher for them if at every attempt you deny them any information. hehehe

Honest Criticizim or Personal Attacks?
'Holier Than Thou' people living a minimalist life being exposed and criticized is to be expected. The problem I have is that what normal people go into this line of work is as a result of being manipulated by the WTS who then holds them up as Positive Examples and Heros!

Will a Divorced person become single and unbound in Paradise?
by AJan inmy dear brothers and sisters,.
hope you all are doing fine.
i have been having some questions in my mind for which i wasnt able to find a conclusive answer.

Hi AJan
What will happen to her situation in the new world? Will she become single again and be free to remarry or will she still be still bound to her ex-husband?
Since every faithful person enters the thousand year reign with a clean slate, does that mean that her marital status will also be reset meaning her sin (divorcing) will be forgiven and she will be single?
In my opinion, unless God makes a special adustment to His law, they will have to reunite and fix whatever problems they have with each other. This may sound bad, but on the other side of Armageddon we can be sure Christ will not tolorate for any length of time unloving behavior between spouses. If the love between them has diminshed, with consistant expressions of love in ALL levels of their relationship, it will grow again over time.
I strongly recomend the book "True Love" by Daphne Rose Kingma. This book should be required reading for anyone who is in, or wants to be in a relationship.

Sorcery is a Viable Pioneer Recruiting Technique
by KennyC in"good sense stress", was the description of an elder for a circuit overseer's undue emphasis on the words "the children are helping mommy and daddy to...pioneer.... yes".
he said this during a talk of his in the early 1990's.
upon going to a pioneer meeting on that saturday and seeing him first hand using his hands in a circular motion around a pioneers face who was sitting too close in front of him, he stated "did you ever notice that little glow they have?

When he prayed for "The Spirit of this Great Pioneer Ministry", I could feel a spirit of some strange sort try to pull me up from my chair. It caused me to have a sharp pain in my neck for a while.
I am not surprised that there would be a "spirit" among Jehovah's Witnesses that shouldn't be there. I don't believe the "Spirit" that has been leading them is nessesarily the spirit they think it is.
"Judge" J. F. Rutherford, the Watchtower Society's second president, claimed that angels transmitted information inaudibly into his mind. Everything he wrote and published from The Watchtower magazine to his books were the result, he said, of these angelic communications.

I'm willing to bet it didn't start out that way, but after Russell past on became that way. Now I'm not an expert on Russell, I read some bad things about him too. If he started out good in heart but didn't stay that way, like King Solomon, I don't know. I do know this though, the Arrogant Men who have been leading the congregation since, have made the Organization, the Society, Mother, the Faithful Slave an image of worship. Demanding absolute, unquestioning obediance and reverence. ...Or else!

A reminder from the apostle Peter:
2 Peter 3: 3 ~ 7
3 "To begin with, you must know and understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with their scoffing...4 And say, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the forefathers fell asleep, all things have continued exactly as they did from the begining of creation."
The Amplified Bible
