what does it mean that jehovah draws us?
the greek verb rendered draws is also used in reference to hauling in a net of fishes.
What on earth does the Gibbering Buddy (aka FDS) mean"JEHOVAH draws us".
The noolite on Holy Spirit says that this does not come to us from God, but is doled out to us through the FDS. Surely the FDS draws us to the "truth", not their sidekick God Almighty.

complete the following:.
even if its not the truth...... .
.
how can going door to bore telling lies, misrepresenting reality, and contradicting what the proven science tells you about a Global Flood, genetics, evolution, history even the Borg's own edited history-
How can lying to yourself and others be the best way of life??

15 one brother who was raised in a christian household wrote that for as long as he could remember, he struggled with homosexual tendencies.
he said: i always felt awkward.
it seemed that i didnt fit in anywhere.
The Apostle Paul says that God has made some to be vessels of Wrath.
These vessels should not complain to the potter: Why did you make me this way?
"It's easy to invent a life
God does it every day.
Creation but the gambol
of His Authority.
It's easy to efface it
the Thrifty Deity
could scarce afford eternity
to spontaneity.
The perished patterns murmur -
but His Perturbless Plan proceeds:
Inserting here- a sun.
There: leaving out a Man."
E. Dickinson
why am i closing all the threads.

i don't anticipate seeing this article, or its supporting data, referenced in any wt publications anytime soon.... ....................................... http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/20/business/college-degree-required-by-increasing-number-of-companies.html?hpw&_r=0.
a few excerpts:.
the college degree is becoming the new high school diploma: the new minimum requirement, albeit an expensive one, for getting even the lowest-level job.. like other employers across the country, the firm hires only people with a bachelors degree, even for jobs that do not require college-level skills.
There was a request many years ago for bethel Vounteers with expertise in electronics. One Brother had worked for over 20 years in this area, so volunteered.
They rejected his application as they said"you only have a DIPLOMA not a degree."
HMMMM

recently we had the 'privilege' of attending our local special assembly day.
the theme for this year was safeguard your conscience, and you guessed it, they looked up every reference to the word 'conscience' in the bible and then wrote a talk about each one.
it was most definitely a case of "pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip.".
At least all the shedding of innocent blood in Hollywood is fake and fantasy.
Think of all the innocent blood spilled in jehoobies name cos David had a census, or the ark was transported on a cart, or cos YHWH said kill EVERYTHING, without mercy. That Really really happened. DIDN'T it?

In arecent thread, a DO said that Jehoobie only gives out holy spirit through the Governing Body (I kid you not)
So what is the point of begging god for it?
But but but but NOOOO - The Gibbering Buddy IS God.

This from the Watchtower Society???? SERIOUSLY?????????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.
she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.
.
The Watchtower Magazine (the real Babble to witlesses) says that if a wife feels that there is a threat to her spirituality SHE can "depart".
You are the head and owner of the house, and her "husbandly owner". Respect for theocratic order is absent in her. She cannot throw YOU out of your home. She can choose to leave.
If you dont really care for her anymore, file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty and religious persecution.
You will always come third in her relationships with the Governing Body and The Witchtower Babble and Trash Society taking 1st and 2nd.

watchtower studies like today's really make me feel anger for this cult.
i mean almost all of them do but this one is one of those articles that takes things too far.. i mean they are condemning the people who are trying to help/save the earth because it's "satan's" world and instead are saying that religious salesmen with magazines are doing way more than the others!like are you f**king kidding me?another reason why i hated this study article is for what some of the young ones did in response to the study.
as one was unwrapping a piece of candy, he decided to throw the wrapper on the ground.
Didnt jesus do temporary good for the poor sick and lame?
NO only for the "Deserving" poor sick and lame. (A WT term)
