  has anybody spotted this scripture before in the nwt.

  if you compare other versions of the bible there is a clear difference in meaning.

  shoddy workmanship or what?

  Visions..

  by StinkyPantz in

  you have several vivid visions.

  in the visions a person/entity tells you that s/he is god.

  when this happens you are awake and you have not deliberately ingested any drugs.

  My personal experience is that "I have seen them use none of those tactics".... except tactic number 2.

  The "Witnesses" I have come in contact with did not PUSH for any type of mind controle situation. Sorry to hear that your congregation and experience was not the same.

  if you knew a witness was in a convenience store, would you brazenly buy cigarettes or lottery tickets in front of them??

  I was a vendor at a flea market at a Church (not JW) once, where the Pastor's wife "smoked". She smoked standing in the yard of the Church!

  There "scam" was, they put an ad in the newspaper in the "roommates wanted/rooms for rent" section. Then when you got there it was some old lady that was not able to take care of herself. You ended up trapped in the house with her & ultimately "taking care of her for free", & paying her some money as well.

  They "pulled this" for 6 years!

  What First Stumbled You?

  by glitter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what was the very first thing that "stumbled" you?

  mine was: i was about 5 or 6 years old and of course i used to find it really hard to find things in my bible at meetings (couldn't find the books quick enough before they moved onto the next paragraph and used to get frustrated).

  i had the idea to make little tabs for the edges of the pages so i could tell where the books were - so i asked mum to help me neatly write out the book names on tiny slips of paper and tape them inside.

  I don't know if you would consider this "stumbled", but what got me to leave and go back to my old religion was "Easter".

  I had been going to weekly Bible study's and attending services at the Kingdom Hall with some friends. I was not going to be able to recieve communion for Easter service, BUT someone on the congregation was going to recieve communion.

  I was told "he knew he was going to Heaven", but we were to stay here on earth and become the slave class.

  That, to me, is something for God to deside(who goes to Heaven, and who does not)... plus arre'nt their teachings "that we remain on the earth in an earthly paridise"?

  I asked questions, I got no answers, and that was it for me.

  Try praying in the morning, rather than the evening. It seems to make it easier!

  Use the "structure" of the Lord's prayer(Bible example), then talk to God after that, telling him your thoughts and what you are feeling (have a conversation with him), give him a few minutes of silence, then end.

  I becomes easier as time goes on.
