i thought of a question i'd like to ask my sister-in-law (who's a fanatical dub).
i'd like to say to her: "...if it could be proven to you beyond any doubt that this was not the "one true religion", would you still go to the kingdom hall?...
i figure it's a catch-22 that really ought to make them stop and think.
Maybe the only answer you receive is the one that Jesus gave to Peter: ?Mark 8:33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.?
So go behind her, because you do not think like God. LOL
will it be the same old same old, or will there be something new added?
was judas there or not?
anyone know in advance if the outline has been changed?
And the same sister, who everyone knows is crazy as a bedbug, partaking 'cause she decided she's anointed.
OH MY GOD!
They are in everywhere...
i really like this board.
i hate making this statement bec i dont want you to all start hating me.
but since i came on here i have been researching a lot.
Can someone please show me a scripture that mentions the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society as necessary between God & man? Where are they mentioned in a Bible?
LOL! That was good LOL.
It supposes the very first thing everyone asks, sadly they brainwash everyone, to the point that we believe that Jehovah talk to them, and dictated everything is in the literature (like the secretary and their boss). Now I found that so funny.
Anyway Holly, when I talk with my friend about everything you said, I react like you. Always, said that they are a good people, that they are right and etc., but when I really study, and search without any religion or thinking in any religion, everything have another view, you saw everything clear and you ask your self, how I didn?t see this before.
Of course they are right in a lot of thing, remember who wrote the articles are people like you and me, and definitely they have a lot of question. If you have not read the book Crisis of Conscience, please read it, you see how people from the governing body have doubts too. Anyway, sure they are right about some things, but they don?t want to accept when they are wrong or when they don?t have a clue about some subject and there?s when they fail.
So kept looking, do what the bible said: ?Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily , whether those things were so...?
(Sorry about my english, but my friend who help me to translate, I do not know where he is.)
at the time you got "disciplined", did you feel you "deserved" it??
what about now????
?
I'm still think was not justified, but what do I know, they are the "messengers of God"...
Yeah right!
Yes, but when I speak with them or saw them, I prefer to miss them again
how do you guys find the time to chat on this board all day?
Yes, but we have to do the quote of hours talking to others and answer their questions, like a bible studies ...
LOL
this is one of the things i never understood as a jw.
i was told that jws were not superstitious people.
as followers of the true god jehovah, we weren't to give in to false beliefs, even if others were practicing them.
I know this is serious, but I did not be able resist laughing about this:
We were told the times of miracles were over after the apostles passed away, yet JWs could become totally invisible to Nazis even though they were standing in plain sight in the middle of a room.
LOL
today is my first day here.
this is my first post.
i just wanted to say hello.

Yes, just like a Supreme Being
