  hi my sister and brother-in-law who claims to be a preacher,see visions,and who claims god sends him messages,say that speaking in tongues isn't words anyone can understand but the one who's doing it.and only he can tell the people what he was saying.i didn't a gree with him.i trying to show him a scripture i read,about the flames coming over the congrgations head..(i'm not really good yet with finding scriptures on my own)but i know i read it!

  he said i don't understand because i'm not in the carnal(being at gods level of understanding..as he is!

  ) i witness it recently when my brother-in-law was in the icu from a heart attack.his sista was at frist praying,then she started making those crazy sounds...i almost ran out!...it scared the crap out of me!...i don't believe thats from god...can anyone help with scriptures for me to show my family what speaking in tongues really is?...thanks!

  My nephew goes to some church where they speak in tongues, do a lot shouting and raising their hands. My sister said that when she went to her son's church, she almost started laughing at them. ( I know I would of.) haa

  I asked my nephew if he knew what he was saying and he said, 'No, but it is the holy spirit which enters into me and I just start speaking.'

  Personally, I don't care what he does or how he claims to be closer to God. As long as he doesn't try to preach to me or ask me to go with him.

  today, whilst shopping, i ran into an old school friend of mine that i had been quite close to.

  i used to write her 'sick' notes for her, so as you can imagine, we're friends forever now.. anyway, she tells me that she is studying with jehovah's witnesses again.

  i think she expected me to be thrilled with this news.

  you've been seriously injured at action park.

  you know that the only people who call it "joisey" are from new york (usually the bronx) or texas.

  you don't think of citrus when people mention "the oranges.

  was it being able to join the theocratic ministry school?

  being a regular pioneer?

  "handling microphones"?

  at the risk of soundy mushy, i would just like to thank everyone for being a part of this board and making it what it is.

  in the 14 years since i have been out of the b'org, i have pretty much had to deal with building myself back up by myself.

  in the short time that i have been a part of jwd, i have realized that there was a lot of things that i had just repressed and locked away.

  i have a friend who is a jw as is her husband.

  she is stuck in a marriage with a man whom i believe has major mental problems and he is visciously abusive to her emotionally.

  on two occasions he became physically violent with her as in he grabbed her and pinned her while he was yelling at her.

  I am very sensitive to this matter. So please excuse me if I sound angry.

  This exact thing happen to me with my 2nd husband, who by the way was an elder in the congregation. (Except he was beating me)

  After going throught the local elders, calling my brother (who was an elder in another state), I contacted the HQ- Headquarters

  of New York City and reported the incident to them.

  When you contact the HQ, you need to tell the operator who takes the call to be connected to an elder.

  The elder will ask you specific questions. Do not tell him that you are NOT a JW. Just explain that you would like to stay

  anonymous.

  The congregation will be notified of this incident and the local elders WILL HAVE to take action. (Because you reported to HQ)

  Trust me! The outcome will not pretty for the husband!

  Dee

  PS: My husband continued to hit me after they removed him from being an elder. So I took things into my own hands and beat the shit of him with a peice of wood. I told him, 'don't you ever hit me again, or don't go to sleep at nights.' He left that night and I never stepped foot into a kingdom hall since.

  this is my first chance to post here since last thursday, so here it is.

  amanda and i arrived at approximately 5:45 pm, and parked in the walmart parking lot.

  amanda bought a folding chair and something to eat, as she just got off work.. we walked across the street to the kingdom hall and stood on the shoulder of the road.
