28i tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them.
29but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.
these two verses make me quiver in my boots.
What am I to do?? This is SO FRUSTRATING. To top that off I have 2 little girls that go to meetings withher on a regular basis.
Thats a hard one an there isnt much you can do.love her unconditionally and learn as much as you can.
maybe every so often she will be open to your point of view.
never argue religion because they are told they will be hated and you will just be reinforcing the lies she has been told
been lurking off and on for about a year.
i was never df'd or da'd, just walked away.. .
i began to study when i was a new mom.all my friends worked, i got lonely for adult conversation,and when i was offered a "free" bible study i jumped at the chance.
welll you will be a good association around here
the organization loves labeling people
those words bring back fond memories (bad association)
the only thing bad was that I had a brain and used it
( Galaxy7 of the bad association class)
we have a crazy bird here!
for days now, this bird has been flying into our kitchen window trying to get the cute bird to mate with him.
first he was sitting on our chair on the front porch and flying into the one of the windows alongside the front door.
yesterday a pair of swallows flew into the greenhouse,one of them hit the window and died.
its mate sat there on a box beside (her/him) for about an hour. it was very sad to watch
some people think animals dont have feelings. watching this made me believe they are wrong
.

A friend in need,
thank you for your comment . do you really believe Jesus was only talking about the brothers?
please explain the below scriptures.I read it as Jesus included all the poor.
MT 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
MT 26:9 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
MK 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
LK 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
LK 19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
JN 12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
AL 2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
you know i like to post these dumb'uns but i was thinking this tonight as i sat here thinking what to post.
then i thought to myself, why am i sitting here "wondering" what to post on a forum like this.
i think i get more than the fair share of stick here for posts i have made because of what i do post, and i can live with that.
This is by far the best posting site on the internet.The posts are very thought provoking and some are down right funny.
The people here all have something in common and I am sure that some posts really are helping the lost souls trying to find their way out of the watchtower maze.
So the short answer is I enjoy coming here.

afriend in need:
MT 25:34 Then will the King say to them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
MT 25:35 For I was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
MT 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came to me.
MT 25:37 Then will the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
MT 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
MT 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?
MT 25:40 And the king will answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.
MT 25:41 Then will he say also to them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
MT 25:42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
MT 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
MT 25:44 Then will they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee?
MT 25:45 Then will he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
and sent it to the watchtower society.
the witness was/is a "racist".
i was told by her that i could not go to the local kingdom hall, or have a copy of the watchtower or awake because i was black.
Sorry Dolly.
I dont know any witnesses that would behave like that.Go to her congregation and make a complaint to the elders there.
tell them you would like an apology from her.
remember attending an assembly in miami as a kid, before the civil rights era, and by law the stadium had to be segregated. my father was an attendant and openly wept at having to separate people. it made an impression on me.
Why would they practise segregation? I dont believe that is scriptual.They refused to join the military or salute flags on scriptual grounds
why then did they agree to the practice of segregation? I guess the light was dim

where would the poor ,homeless and downtrodden people go for assistance if it were not for the salvation army?
They do exactly as Jesus instructed .which is to feed and shelter the poor,visit the prisioners and generally care for those with no voice in society.
what do Jehovahs Witnesses do? they do nothing !
