Sparks,
Your demon Watchtower god is no match for my Lord and savior, Jesus.
Have a nice life.
hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!
i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.
i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.
Sparks,
Your demon Watchtower god is no match for my Lord and savior, Jesus.
Have a nice life.
balance is the natural state of your body and is maintained by moderation in your habits such as sleep, work, eating, entertainment and thinking.
(mathew7:12; 5:13-16; proverbs 25:16, 27; 1 cor 6:12; 8:9; philippians 4:5) your body sends signs of distress when you cross the limit.. this is true even in subtler areas too.
contrary to the popular notion that happiness or peace come from accumulating things, body teaches it comes from renunciation.
Asinine
it seems to me like certain people actually benefit from joining the religion.
primarily i'm thinking of ones with drug problems who are only able to quit because they are working towards baptism.
another example would be those who are always getting in fights or who have a big ego, and who learn to be pacifistic and humble as a witness.
My ex deserves to be a Jehovah's Witness.
Her attitude towards others fits right in with pioneers, elders and other mature ones.
on tuesday i was dragged out on service with my mom since shes a permanent pioneer, and once we arrived at the hall i realized there were no brothers, but an abundance of sisters.
i conducted the service meeting with ease, since my dad gave me a formation on how to do it.. then on thursday at my meeting nearly half of the congregation surrounded me and gave me hugs and kisses.
i know about love bombing, its happened to me before, but this was the most insane amount of it ever since i had a demonstration at the district convention.
All of the above and then some.
You will feel liike crap unless you find some new friends who aren't of the conditional type.
Get out and make new friends BEFORE you make your exit and things will go a lot smoother.
Within a year of making new friendships with 'worldy people' you will wonder why Jehovah's Witnesses say, "The friends" when they actually have none.
been out now for 10 yrs but life is a mess.
starting to think its because i have no spiritual compass.
why shouldn't i consider going back?.
My life was a mess while I was in and I was a servant.
After I got out things didn't get much better for lmost a year.
Then, one night while I was reading a bible (Not the NWT) I opened it up to Romans chapter 8 and read it.
That is when Jesus rescued me from my sins.
My sins had kept me alientated from Him because I had been taught almost all my life that it was wrong to pray to Jesus.
After I prayed to Him something immediately happened that is indescribable.
Since then I have enjoyed personal contact with Jesus and He is there for me 24/7 365.
The problem people have is being humble enough to tell Jesus that they are sinners and can't fix that no matter how hard they try.
Another problem is that most people believe they have to be part of the herd and all that does is give them somewhat of a social life but it still doesn't fix their sin problem.
You say your life is a mess.
It will stay a mess even if you go back to the kingdom hall because you will be trying to please God by adhering to a huge list of rules and regulations which no one can live up to.
If you can't resist the temptation go back to the kingdom hall but let God's grace wash over you through a relationship with Jesus and you will know peace like you've never known before.
transcript of the talk from the 2014 uk district convention (aug 2014).. sunday morning.. symposium: anticipate future kingdom blessings!
(part 6 "new scrolls").
(speaker not known).
What a load of shit.
want to know how a lie can turn into a compliment?
only in the jw mindset!!!.
we got called into the dreaded back room after meeting to find two elders wanting to discuss a 'serious' matter with us.
And JW's wonder why people think they are off their rockers.
LOL
knew that this would be the case - so not surprised.
quite happy to not go - as i would not like to see my mother / or my big sister at all.
this nephew is my small sisters son - my small sister and myself are very close - she does not go to the meetings anymore for quite a while now, her eyes have been opened.
It's just a little taste of what the 'new system' and paradise will be with all that JW love hanging in the air.
Only then it will be invites only to those who have achieved much closer perfection.
last month i decided to attend the international convention at metlife since my sister's cong was invited so she took me along with my older brother.
my sister drove and my older brother sat in the front seat of her suv.
i was in the back seat with the greatest watchtower apologist/loser/eldermole in the universe my bil.. they were all chatting away about how this assembly filed with regurgitated spiritual stool was a sign of the last days since so many people would be in attendance.
Come on, doesn't everyone know that everything is satanic and demonized except for the Watchtower magazine.
i have quite a big group of friends who were all in the cong together when we were teens.
about 75% of them stopped going or were df'd right after high school.
it is a varied group; a couple are staunch apostates, some dont care one way or another, and another handfull are fully "worldly", but still believe it is the truth.
Officially out for almost 10 years.
Never will go back to that trash.
However, the draw of famly ties are too much for some and if they go back to the Watchtower's trash they get their family ties again.
It's not worth it to me, though because I accept my family the way they are even if they call me nasty names because I don't believe anything those 7 old bastards up in NYC dream up on the 6th floor of bethell anymore.
