Prince of 'P-I-E-C-E"

by freemindfade in

now i have always kept to myself discussing and speculating about this with any witness.

i am speaking of the very talented musician prince.

i remember watching the naacp awards one year ages ago and hearing him thank the one true god jehovah and falling off my couch.

"The system is broken," he said. "It's going to take young people to fix it.

yeah, that's in direct conflict with The New System doctrine and who will fix the old one.

'Anointeds' Do you know any and if so what are they like ?

by Introvert 2 in

would like to hear about any experiences anyone has had with the so called ' anointed ' .

rebel8

If being anointed was real, it would make more sense for it to be a secret. You don't know until the rapture--surprise!

JW Records Request - United States

by cappytan in

jw
friends

has anyone in the united states ever successfully gotten their publisher records from the society?

C Lynne, my suggestion is to think more about why you want the files--what bothers you about it? Maybe you can come up with a way to resolve that underlying issue without taking on a lawsuit you won't likely win even after lots of time and $.

Of course it's irritating on face value, but think about it--anybody can make a file on anyone else. The elders are just pathetic nobodies whose peers gave them a fake authority title, in a religion about an imaginary bearded sky daddy. What they write down is truly meaningless, once you distance yourself enough to see it for what it is.

Which site can I find a JW brother that matches me so I can marry only in the Lord?

by asiandiana00 in

i am 30 and i am hoping to meet the brother who i will love me for me and would want to marry me.

i want to marry only in the lord but as the balance of brothers and sisters are not even and i am getting older as time goes by, im kinda a little panicky now.

;(

rebel8

One thing is certain--we should stick to the Society's own words when we want to know what they really teach/believe.

I hope you live through Armageddon, since marriage is important to you. Otherwise, you will be resurrected and permanently single.

8. Jesus said that resurrected ones will not do this (Luke 20:35)

There is no reason now to overemphasize this matter.

May 2015 JW Broadcast, "The Watchtower Has The Most Multilingual Speakers in the World? True or False?

by RoyalFlushPhil in

stephen lett about 33 minutes in to may's "liar liar" episode of the monthly worship broadcast said "jehovah's witnesses have the most multilingual speakers of any organization in the world!".

the catholic church has the most people i thought, do you think he's telling the truth and where is he getting these facts?

i finally broke down and decided to watch this in order to work on my reverse witnessing skills, lots of ammunition for anyone needing fuel to extinguish their dirty flames of lies!.

rebel8

If his claim is they have the most multilingual speakers, then the proof would require them to collect data on how many individual dubs use more than one language. It isn't just that they can, it's that they use 2 or more language in their lives. This is according to the definition of 'multilingual speaker'.

Do they collect such data?

The fact that they've translated bibles and all that other junk is irrelevant to proving this claim, though I'm sure they won't let that stop them.

Why do believers spend so much time trying to evangelize? Is it insecurity?

Mother's day according to Joseph Rutherford

by opusdei1972 in

this is what the second president of the watchtower society, the channel of god appointed in 1919, wrote about the mother's day:.

satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from god, and cause them to disregard the word of the lord.

this he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in england and in america, the chief countries of christendom, is called "mother's day".

rebel8

A sista I used to know said, "Every day is Mother's Day. Mother's day to vacuum, mother's day to dust, mother's day to cook.

So let me ask y'all this. Is this a holiday dubs are partly celebrating nowadays, like bdays and Thanksgiving? Or is the honoring anyone female still a total no-no?
