  Urgent Plea from Jehovah by One of His Anointed (sacred secret revealed)

  by Brownboy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in all of my postings i have sounded out a message of warning to all of those that cared to listen.

  we are at the point where a warning is in the form of a solemn plea.

  i am revealing to you a secret that most everyone has always asked.

  Jehovah will first cause your heart to beat heavily.

  You then begin to sense the taste of blood in your mouth.

  And finally, you feel a distinct impression on your forehead.

  This may be a result of injuries caused by door to door preaching.

  Man comes to door with baseball bat...Jehovah will first cause your heart to beat heavily.

  Man hits with baseball bat...And finally, you feel a distinct impression on your forehead.

  Your body's reaction to being hit by baseball bat...You then begin to sense the taste of blood in your mouth.

  The "impression" must have done something to your memory to forget exact line of events.

  My mother-in-law was told that our daughter was going to be a son.

  I wouldn't put too much confidence in them.

  i have heard rumors on here and other places that jw's are now allowing birthdays to be observed/celebrated.

  is this true?

  i hope so.

  It would also be inappropriate for Christians to attach special significance to the fact that a ring had a birthstone. Jehovah?s Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays. This is because such celebrations focus too much attention on the individual and the only birthdays of Bible record are those of rulers who did not serve God

  If a Jehovah's Witnesses are aloud to celebrate their wedding anniversaries because marriage is "God's institution", then I can celebrate the anniversary of my children's birth because child birth is also "God's institution".

  Corvin

  A good example of a JW loophole!! Um... if we can't celebrate birthdays because they "focus too much attention on the individual" they why are we allowed to celebrate anniversaries which do the same thing?? (Though I do remember at an circuit assembly a few years ago, it was mentioned that it was ok to celebrate anniversaries, but one shouldn't put too much emphasis on it, eg. big party, presents etc. Yet, do you think anyone listened?? NO!) Funny how the WTS doesn't listen to their own counsel about things not having religious/pagan ties anymore... we had a talk a few months back about images, and how a lot of images we have today and use on clothing, for decorating, etc. (certain animals, plants, sun, stars, etc.) were once used in religious/pagan practices, but that it's ok to use them today as long as it doesn't have that meaning in your area today...and all I could think about was bdays, Christmas, New Year's etc. What's the difference?? Our daughter is attending her first birthday party today, and both of the kids were just invited to another one next week. They are so excited!! I made a cake for Mr. Kwin last week (late bday cake) and mine is a couple of weeks, plus I just sent my mom a bday card for the first time in 8 years (not a JW, so a big deal). I can't wait for her reaction! "Mrs. Kwin" (haven't been able to register and get my own name!)

  By the way, we pay 265$ a year for plates...

  But doesn't that $265 cover a portion of your vehicle insurance as well?

  Nova Scotia has one plate in the rear. Ontario has two.

  Hey there Max! Welcome.

  I enjoy using this site to express opinions that I wasn't permitted to express while in the org.

  It's great to know that there's a place where people will listen, maybe not agree, but listen nonetheless, and not concider your opinion as a forbidden one.

  Simon and others: Inspiring Words and this Forum.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these inspiring words will remind you how to make your dreams come true.. "through confidence and perseverance comes the ability to succeed!".

  many of you have proven that these words have inspired you to succeed in whatever endeavors you have chosen after having come out of the watchtower.. i have read simon's and many of your post's, where - in you have shown confidence, and perseverance along with the ability to succeed in whatever endeavors you have chosen for yourselves after having come out of the watchtower.

  i too, after having spent 30 years serving the watchtower, two and one half years later, after having left he watchtower, i have succeeded in passing my medical examiner's tests and am now licensed to practice in one of the many health care concerns at the young age of 60.. this shows that all of us can go on and succeed after life in the watchtower.. this forum and the many nameless persons who have posted here have been an inspiration to carry on.

  I would wonder how they would go about getting the JW to go on in the first place. They would have to say they were going on for a different reason, especially if the x-JW is known to have "apostate" ideals. A bait-and-switch.

  Then, would their JW training brainwashing get them to leave once the real purpose for thier visit on the show comes out.
