Elder Criticizes Going To Get Together If A Worldly Person Is There!

by minimus in

friends

my mom told me that an elder said in his public talk on sunday that we need to stay separate from the "world".

evidently, the buzz is that there was a part being given by an unbelieving husband that has been recently attending meetings with his wife.

the issue was not that this man invited most of the congregation and they went (including the elder and his family) but that one fellow unbelieving husband who is being studied with did not get invited because he was "worldly and still smokes".

Are Jehovah's Witnesses Truly Honest?

by minimus in

jw

jws pride themselves in being the "most honest people on earth".

could you refute that claim??

?

My experience has been, when elders want informatin from a publisher, they will make up a less than honest story to try to get the truth.

If you catch them, they say we had to tell you this to get you here. I have also seen business deals, that are less than honest.

Hello Minimus

I think I am a part of the "free people" ... they are just locking the members in as good as they think they can.

as the foremost person in the bible who let gods word light his roadway, where is jesus in this article?

wts reminders; otherwise you will not be heard and will not enjoy divine favor.

(psalm 119:175,176) some who have wandered away from the christian .

How many married folks post here and your spouse does not know?

by xjwms in

i got to thinking about this, and how many are here without telling anyone.. my active wife does not know i post here.

also, i have met some wonderful local people who are here, and you know who you are.. those who i met, i regard as friends, and very supportive.

given our backgrounds we understand each other.. is this a double life?

Four years, ... congrats to you blondie

Thats just about how long it has been since I was regular, ... at meetings.

The feeling is freedom.

Advising those getting caught in the JW nets.

by greendawn in

if someone feels attracted to the jws to the point of beginning a bible study with them what sort of advice,if any, would you give them at this early stage before she/he gets hopelessly mind conditioned and entangled in their nets?

.

i would base my response on the principle that one should first carefully check out the way they (the wts)treat their followers before getting intimately involved with them.
