did jesus ever use the phrase 'undeserved kindness'?.
i don't remember such a phrase ever being attributed to jesus.. .
i think we all deserve kindness!.
From what I have gathered its another WT translation of the much nicer word "grace"
eg if you were to give your child a gift and then said it was "underserved" how do you think hed FEEL!!
but if you said it was given by grace, it sound loving from the giver and to the recipient
I cant imagine Jesus saying I am the way of everlasting life, (but by the way you dont deserve it)
Just my thoughts
I can find it listed in the gospels!!!!!!!!
.
1 bottle champagne.. toast with lashings of butter.. scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.. marmalade.. .
yum!.
We had sausage, bacon eggs, mushrooms and baked beans washed down with a couple of cups of tea
Ummmmmm
we had, wait for it.....................home made beef curry and it was fantastic .
i was going to make a dinner, but since there only 3 of us and were not quite there yet, we decided to have our favorite....curry ym.

Didnt realize it was all so complicated
Have you had a nice xmas?
i know you cant know whats in someones head or mind, but in a average congregation of about a 80 to 100 people how many would you say were religious!.
i can say in mine there was about 6 that i would say were genuine people.
the rest i felt believed in the "truth" i did, but they were either scared of armageddon or peer pressureot to save face .
I agree, I felt more spirtual before I came in the truth,but felt I had no outlet, after trying to follow all the rules and regulations, that was soon sucked right out of me, and I didnt even notice it till it was too late
Now I just feel numb and dont know what I believe or feel !

I bought a pack of 10 cards (just in case) from unicef they cost me about £8.50 ! I think I was done and I havent sent any!
Ill keep them till next year, I might have someone to send them to
many of you already know my real name.i'm the one whose experience was published in the sep 8 1994 awake mag.
i would like to stress that although i have good reason to be angry and bitter, nothing i say here is said in anger but only in sadness.
i write this to say that if i could take back many of my words i said in that experience , i would.

Are your parents still in the truth.
the report below serves as an excellent example of the shallow understanding that people in general have regarding the so-called "star of bethlehem".
notice that the "star" is held in awe ... some sort of an object that satan himself caused to glow in the dark in order to cause the premature death of jesus.
satan's worst nightmare is jesus, was back then, and still is.
Schism
The bible tells us GOD created the heavens and the earth!

Even when you were on field service, you didnt talk about the love of God but rather selfish things, how to make sure you survive armageddon, how to get inthe new system, how everyone else wont and how sorry they will be and we can turn round and say "yeah we were right all along so there"
So how many can you count up and this doesnt include the really "nice" ones
yesterday was a special day for my family and me: we bought our first x-mas tree.
the kids are very enthusiastic about it.
and i was happy providing them with something i did not have as a kid.
This is witness superstition at its best, it doesnt matter what else they do,as you say there not going to meetings.
They hedge there bets, if armageddon does come Jehovah wont destroy them cos they never had a tree!!
We stopped going to meetings 7 months ago, and I really want a tree, but I still feel guilty. But next year im going oever the top tree and all
Try not to be upset, they are not meaning to hurt you, its just misplaced loyalty and fear.
Happy christmas
