  Just Got Back From My First Assembly " Take Refuge in Jehovah! "

  thought i'd start a new topic on my experience.................... just got back from the above assembly.......... here is my take on my first and last assembly.

  9:40 song and prayer - half the people were still in the toilet...and no one was singing, i didn't have a song book (i am worldy you see!!

  ) so i just stood and stared at the odd looking fella on the stage miming, rather than singing!.

  Maybe the one getting baptized was someone that had been "out" for awhile, and realized they needed refuge again..

  i'll the start with the late 1960's and 1970's because aside from a few songs from the byrds, the doors and pink floyd i don't go back that far.

  i'll also skip the eagles.. 1970's: .

  Christianity gives you.........umm.......uh.............................................?

  that's right, nothing.. you get struck on the cheek and you pony up for the other slap.. your pray for the enemy who wants you face down in the mud with his heel on your neck.. you get treated like pond scum and force a smile and forgive.. abused?

  forgive and forget.. need help desperately?

  when nothing happens, chalk it up to your unworthiness and lack of faith.. .

  If God (Jehovah) truly loved humans

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i`m taking this veiwpoint from a jw/christian observation, and my questions are:.

  if god, jehovah, allah,or whoever else you may like to call him,truly had the worlds " human" interests at heart,why would he only deal with a small minority of humans,over centuries of time ignoring the vast majority of the worlds population.. why would he send a number of prophets over centuries of time,to specifically set matters straight as to how they should worship him,then when it comes down to jesus time ,their are numerous sects,and no real direction from god as to how they should worship him.it`s all left up to faith,which is radically different from the "old testament"veiw.. why didn`t he give instructions /guidance to the rest of mankind,(who would have been in the millions by now)to give them some hope of salvation?

  obviously he didn`t give any thought to them.. 2000 years on from their, the christian gospel is mainly only preached in western civilizations,it is not widely preached in india,pakistan,the uae,mainland china,indonesia,afghanistan,or many other large populated areas.. so my question is.... does god really "love the world so much that he gave his only begotten son" .

  You must remember Smiddy, it is all for God's glory, and the vindication of his name. The world is a stage, and we are just part of the cast.

  Kingdom Melodies

  when i first started attending the kh i remember being shocked by some of the lyrics to the songs.

  i remember there was one we sang said something like "no-one likes us, we don't care" - someone said it was like a millwall supporters song!

  however, cannot remember which song it was, does anyone remember this one?.

  It goes..."Fear not those who kill the body, but cannot destroy the soul.." They've changed that now. Too soul separate from the body sounding..
