  FATAL ASSUMPTIONS

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jesus further related in the 15th chapter of john: "nevertheless, i have spoken these things to you that, when the hour for them arrives, you may remember i told them to you.

  these things, however, i did not tell you at first, because i was with you.

  so, the point is that jesus has not told his anointed ones certain things yet because the hour for them has not arrived.

  This is the e-mail I received after leaving my opinions
  on his website......

  I am sorry that you have the opinions you do of your experiences. Your
  relationship was with Jehovah. You have turned your back on that
  relationship, which is most unfortunate. However, I am not fooled.
  I
  was once out in Satan's world. There is NOTHING out there that is
  worthwhile. Satan's world is terrible and is EXACTLY as Jehovah's
  Witnesses teach it to be.

  I was once very, very angry with Jehovah's Witnesses. I soon learned
  that it was I that was in the wrong, not the Witnesses. It took me
  some
  time to open my eyes and see the world for what it really is, but I
  thank
  Jehovah he finally woke me up. So you see Brett, I feel pity for your
  attitude and wish very much I could help you correct it, because I've
  been there... but frankly not to the point that I found it necessary
  to
  go out of my way to expound my views to others. That is apostasy, and
  a
  very, very dangerous position to be in from Jehovah's viewpoint. That
  is
  an active working against his will; you are taking a position in direct
  opposition to Almighty God.

  You may think there is "life without the Watchtower"... but you are
  wrong. What you think to be life is illusory and very temporary.
  Whatever life you imagine yourself to have, whether by natural causes,
  accident or by the inevitable arrival of Armageddon, that life will
  eventually come to an end. Whereas Jehovah's servants will experience
  perfect, peaceful, eternal life. The life you have, is no life.

  The "rules" the society has are from the Bible, from Jehovah. They are
  for our protection as this system gets worse and worse. As the battle
  lines are drawn, we have to take steps to extra-reinforce our spiritual
  armor, just as one would do on the front lines of battle. Admittedly
  sometimes that armor can be heavy... but without it, we're sitting
  ducks.
  Do you understand?

  When you became baptized, you made the conscious decision to serve
  Jehovah. You were not mislead. There is no one on earth who is more
  aware of the meaning and significance of baptism than a Jehovah's
  Witness, as we are fully informed prior to that decision and have to go
  through extensive study and questioning before it is even allowed. You
  were not forced or brainwashed into anything. It was your choice and
  yours alone.

  If you view Jehovah's Witnesses as "miserable and unhappy", you are
  seeing nothing more than a reflection of your own attitude and
  personality, not the Witnesses in general. The only unhappiness we
  experience is exasperation and frustration with Satan's ever-decaying
  and
  degraded system. We are, as the Bible foretold, "sighing and crying
  over
  the detestible system of things."

  When you joined Bethel, you were told in advance what it would be like.
  You were told that it would be hard work, that it was not a place for
  fun
  and games. If you approached it with any other ideas in your head, you
  were being unrealistic. You cannot blame others for that.

  I caution you against any act of working against Jehovah's Witnesses,
  lest you cross the line of blasphemy and Jehovah totally closes the
  door
  on you. When that happens, there is nothing in the universe that will
  protect you from whatever ravages Satan decides to level upon you. I
  am
  trying to wake you up to the reality of the world in which you are
  living. When Jehovah totally removes his holy spirit, Satan does
  whatever he wants to do. He loves it when someone knowingly and
  totally
  turns away from Jehovah. It opens to him every door that can possibly
  be
  opened, with nothing to stop him. You do not want to be there.

  So I'm sorry Brett, that you have chosen the course you have chosen. I
  know from personal experience it is an absolute dead end. I encourage
  you to wise up, rethink your attitude and relationship with Jehovah and
  turn around while you still can. The very fact that Jehovah has
  allowed
  me to write this message to you is indication that he has not turned
  his
  back on you. You have not yet blasphemed the holy spirit. Please
  take
  advantage of that fact while there is still time... and before you do
  so.

  Thanks to Ven, think41self, neyank, Joanne, Prisca, and TW.
  I appreciate your warm welcomes to this board.
  Cowboys story regarding A.I. was intersting. When I first arrived in '89
  I did the newboy circuit at Watchtower Farms.. When I reached the pig
  farm it was the week that the sows were being impregnated bt the bulls.
  Imagine standing there watching the pigs "getting it on". Of course,
  within a few months we were slaughtering them to feed the Bethel Family.
  The brothers in slaughter house were quite the strange type. I was allways
  assigned "gut pull" when the bimonthly slaughter of the chickens took place.

  Anyway, thanks again for your welcomes.....

  am i the only person ever to fall under the influence of the borg who can count?.

  no offence all but jws meet three times per week.not five!

  i consider the familiar statement about 5 meetings per week to be a good indication of just how indoctrinated a person is.

  Actually it's SEVEN MTS per week

  Monday Tower study at Bethel
  Tues Bookstudy in the hood
  Thur Two boring mts at the KH
  Friday Bethel Entrant school ( More boooring wasted time )
  Sunday Public talk and tower

  Throw some Field service and you certainly won't find
  time to live your life.

  It was always great to see the response of the dubs
  when I told them I attended 7 meetings.

  Hey You Don't Know...

  If you think smoking a page from the Bible is
  toxic, try opening your bookbag and throw your
  head in. You will surely die from the smell
  of fresh-hot-off-the-press food at the right time
  literature.

  Sad thing about the WT publishing efforts is they kill trees
  publishing the same old crap year after year.

  Cowboy

  Thanks for the warm welcone.

  Your screen name brings back many memories
  of my time spent at Watchtower Farms.
  I worked in the Dairy Farm.
  It was great as I was afforded
  some freedom that others in the Family
  did not have.

  I pass that place everyday.
  You should see it at night
  with all its lights on.
  They do tours too.

  How was the shopping at South Coast Plaza?
