  Will the jw's get all excited about Russia in the Ukraine?

  by hoser in

  usually when world events like this take place the dubs start into how the end must be so close they can almost taste it.

  maybe there will be some speculation about the king of the north and south again.

  The local dolts have been tizzy with excitement for the last week about it.

  They think their little cult will get special privileges when Russia controls the Ukraine. LOL

  Keep the sheeple stupid and they will always follow you.

  If the sheeple get smart they will get lost and you will never find them.

  Perfect cult reasoning.

  Why are they still going door to door?

  hey all, long time no see!.

  a friend posted the anthony morris videos on facebook today, and the ensuing conversation got me wondering: why are the jws still going door-to-door in the developed world?.

  it's clearly useless as an evangelizing tactic; the wt have recognized that for 20 years, with their "go where the people are" spiel, but they also insist that it's still necessary.. .

  They go D2D for one reason.

  People who live alone thrive on comapny.

  People who have recently lost loved ones are prime targets for cults.

  People who are emotionally disabled will believe anyrthing that gives them hope.

  Etc., etc., etc.

  I was disturbed by a lot of WT doctrines that went back and forth and also about 1914.

  Did a GOOGLE search for 1914 and found this place.

  It was all downhill for the Jehovah's Witness cult after that.

  How can we benefit from the death of Jesus?

  by Bugbear in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to many christian churches including wbtc, the very cores of christian believes, is about how god (jehova) sacrifice his one borne son, so that every obedient mankind who believe in him could be released from sin and thereby have the hope of eternal life.

  the bible is full of scriptures given this indication.

  As long as Adam and Eve were obedient and did not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they had access to the tree of life.
  Once they sinned, they were driven from the Garden, and God placed an angel with a flaming sword to guard the tree of life so they would no longer have access to it.
  Eternal life was now no longer theirs.
  Just as God had warned, they died, and through Adam all men after him would die (Romans 5:12).
  
  By blocking access to the tree of life, God showed compassion in His omniscience. Knowing that because of sin, life would be filled with sorrow and toil, He graciously limited the number of years men would live.
  To live eternally in a sinful state with its results—pain, disease, heartache, toil, and grief—would mean endless agony for humanity, with no hope of the relief that comes with death.
  
  By limiting our lifespan, God gives us enough time to come to know Him and His provision for eternal life through Christ, but spares us the misery of an endless existence in a sinful condition.
  
  Through one man, Adam, sin entered the world, but through another Man, Jesus Christ, redemption through the forgiveness of sin is available to all (Romans 5:17).
  Everyone who avails themselves of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross will see the tree of life again, for it stands in the middle of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.
  Its water is the constant flow of everlasting life from God’s throne to God’s people...
  
  I also saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
  Revelation 21:2
  
  Then he showed me the river of living water, sparkling like crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the broad street [of the city]. On both sides of the river was the tree of life bearing 12 kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations

  Since when has anyone known of satan returning anything he stole?

  You might as well forget it.

  Satan's spiritual ark is full of attorneys who know how to drag things out until you die.

  interested husband asked his JW mom about "friends" giving help to sister in need

  by nonjwspouse in

  2. friends

  it was quite interesting to see the conversationn take place.the nearly 70 year old widowed sister is raising her son's two children, one is 5 and extremely difficult as she was born hooked on drugs.

  the baby is also very tiresome on an older woman to deal with daily.

  the mother o fthe children is in prison.

  Why would a JW want to babysit those children.

  They will never make it to adulthood because Geeehover is going to have to murder them because their parents aren't JW's.

  JW's don't waste their time with the walking dead.

  about a year ago i had an exchange of emails with an elder of a congregation where all my jw relatives attend.

  i asked him all kinds of questions regarding blood, 607, shunning, evolution, higher education.

  as anticipated, he either had no answer or provided an evasive one.

  If you believe that the bible is God's inspired word, the subject of hell is a difficult pill to swallow.

  Why would a loving, kind God send people to hell?

  He doesn't. Scripture shows that anyone who suffers God's wrath does so for a reason:

  John 3:35-36 says The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hands. The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

  As long as Adam and Eve were obedient and did not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they had access to the tree of life.
  Once they sinned, they were driven from the Garden, and God placed an angel with a flaming sword to guard the tree of life so they would no longer have access to it.

  Just as God had warned, they died, and through Adam all men after him would die (Romans 5:12).

  By limiting our lifespan, God gives us enough time to come to know Him and His provision for eternal life through Christ, but spares us the misery of an endless existence in a sinful condition.

  Hell is a place where unredeemed sinners live eternally in a sinful state with its results—pain, disease, heartache, toil, and grief—which results in endless agony, with no hope of the relief that comes with death.
