The EVERLASTING Lie

Jehovah promises everlasting life in an earthly paradise. That was the start he gave man and that is the outcome that is recorded in Revelations for man. I for one will not OVER think it. It is actually quit simple to understand and see. After all wouldnt ANY loving parent give the children they love the very best surroundings to live in, with absolutely no worries such as how will I pay my rent, where will my next meal come from........................................................................ Jehovah wants those things for us and much much more. He has the power to do it and said He would and I am going to take His word for it.

Joshua 23:14 “Now, look! I am going today in the way of all the earth, and YOU well know with all YOUR hearts and with all YOUR souls that not one word out of all the good words that Jehovah YOUR God has spoken to YOU has failed. They have all come true for YOU . Not one word of them has failed."

Isaiah 55:11"so my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it".

CHEATING ON FIELD SERVICE

by chuckyy in

towards the end of my time as a jw, i must confess to cheating whilst out on field service.. 1. i would turn up at the field service arrangement with my wife, and we would say that we were working together that day to do return visits.

as everyone went out, we would simply get into our car and drive home.

(hypocritical i know).

I think that is one of the problems with people. They forget who it is they must please. Jehovah God and Jesus or the brothers. Like with feild service. I know we are encouraged to get at least 10 hrs per week. If we cant, people start to worry how they will look to the BROTHERS. Jehovah is the one we want to look at us and approve us. He is more UNDERSTANDING and insightful than the Brothers.

This past sunday's wt had a hilarious paragraph...

i think it was paragraph 18 or right around there.. the gist of ithe paragraph was, "some will lose faith because our predictions failed, some of our stuff doesn't make sense, or someone treats us like crap".. the answers were just a riot.

i couldn't help but wonder if some weren't faders.. "i remember when i started in the truth, i thought, this stuff is crazy, but i just knew it was the truth because where else could i go".

"where else can we go" (i would like to point out that this is hardly a ringing endorsement).

maybe guilt. We are encourged from the bible not to forsake the gathering of ourselves and I know it is important and beneficial to Go to the house of God and Formally worship him. Plus the meetings have always been a haven for me (up until a few yrs back) It was a place to be after a long day or week at work and having to deal with people who were not so Godly (not everyone was like that) Going to the meetings was like a breathe of fresh air.

Yeah I am being pissy though.Sorry Defd. You weren't picking a fight. I didn't mean to come at you like I did.

Thanks. I understand, I REALLY do understand what you mean and how you feel. It is very frustrating. I get fustrated alot at the "FRIENDS" myself.

If you went to a New Year's Party and someone offered you a noisemaker, would you be offended?

excellent reasoning, now why couldnt I say it that way?

Vitty I havent been to a meeting in a month and I feel like CRAP. I tried it and do not like it. Granted 3 meetings a week can be a bit to much for the times we live in and I dont think Jesus or Jehovah will condemn ANYONE to death because they miss some here and there. The brothers may condemn you, but they are not the one who will give you everlasting life.

And yes my desire is that ANY visitor would show interest in Jehovah God and Jesus, like me.

You share the trappings of your faith (books, magazines) as any self-respecting evangelist would do; your church or mine. It is assumed the visitor is spiritually deficient in some way. C_Y_P instinctively knows this, thence his comments.

This is exactly why I dont respond to you. I knew I would regret it. I was being sincere and non confrontational and answered your question respectfully and nice. In return, you dog me by stating my faith is trapping, I am self respecting.

Same deal dude. ; I know you can't see it that way because, you, like all of us process info through the filter of your world view. Your world view requires that nothing critical statement ever be true about your beloved organization. It also requires that you can't possibly admit that thoughts of superiority ever crept into your mind when you were offering your stuff to someone who didn't have it. I guess only you and God know the truth

I dont feel that way at all.

I sure wish I was perfect like you.

If you only knew!
