  Say You're a Bethelite & Monitoring JWD - How Would You Feel About THESE??

  by Seeker4 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm talking about the new posters, like kitten whiskers, who started posting today (hope this works: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/120817/1.ashx).

  and it seems like we're getting a few like this nearly every day.

  people who were raised jws, really worry that they are doing the right thing in leaving, yet who have been made to feel not good enough by the wts, who felt they never measured up, who struggled with it, but came to realize that what they'd been brought up to believe was just not the truth.. the same stories are told over and over again, and they come from sincere, good people - not whiny, fault-finding apostates like the rest of us riffraff around here!

  Angels & Sexual urges..

  by tan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was reading another thread and wondered why it was that the perfect angels began to have sexual urges???

  i also wondered if the resurrected ones were not to procreate why a loving god would put them on the earth to tease them.

  jthey're going to be perfect too, will they eventually have these urges too, just to be destroyed when it's all said and done.

  Enjoy

  This speaks for itself... let us all keep working towards maintaining
  ourselves strong in the truth, now more than ever, helping each other
  along during these difficult times, and helping others to see what >Jehovah has
  in store for us for the future, and how we benefit from a
  much happier outlook on life now! Let's continue to be a part of the
  building, not the wrecking crew!
  
  10 Little Witnesses
  
  10 little Witnesses standing in a line
  1 disliked the elders,
  Then there were nine.
  
  9 little Witnesses stayed up very late
  1 slept in on Sundays,
  Then there were eight.
  
  8 little Witnesses pleasing God in heaven
  1 chose the broad road
  And then there were seven.
  
  7 little Witnesses chirping just like chicks
  1 preferred debased music,
  So then there were six.
  
  6 little Witnesses seemed very much alive
  But one lost his interest
  Then there were five.
  
  5 little Witnesses going door to door
  1 stopped to rest a bit
  And then there were four.
  
  4 little Witnesses each
  Busy as a bee, but
  1 got his feelings hurt,
  Then there were three.
  
  3 little Witnesses unsure of what to do
  1 joined the worldly scene,
  Then there were two.
  
  2 little Witnesses,
  Our rhyme is nearly done
  Differed with each other,
  Then there was one.
  
  1 little Witness can't do much it's true,
  But then he started a bible study
  Then there were two.
  
  2 earnest Witnesses, each won just one more
  That doubled their number, and then there were four.
  
  4 sincere Witnesses worked early until late
  Each won another
  So then there were eight.
  
  8 splendid Witnesses
  If they double as before
  In just so many Sundays,
  We'll have 1,024
  
  So in this little jingle,
  There is a lesson true...
  You can be part of their building --
  Or of the wrecking crew

  You can ask questions, just don't question the answers.

  God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

  You are the master of the unspoken word. Once it is out of your mouth, you are it's slave.

  Realization about the Adam and Eve myth

  by CordyC in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as i looked at the adam and eve story again, i realized the something is wrong with the story.

  jehovah offers the pair all the fruits in the garden of eden save the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.

  there's a problem though, why would there be a fruit for that if bad supposedly wasn't around at that point yet?

  Maybe it is a story to show what disobedience to the "Almighty" brings. Then you give 'em the Mosaic Law...Oh yeah.

  Will apostates burn in Gehenna???

  by kid-A in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i seem to recall the wts teaching this many years ago.

  the idea was that "apostacy" was the ultimate, unforgiveable sin, because it was.

  tantamount to "sinning against the holy spirit".....does anyone recall hearing this idea, that "apostates", along with our buddy satan, will suffer.

  Yee shall rise again, along with the great serpent at the end of the thousand year reign, to be released on the millions of loving servants of Jah......to do that thing you do!

  i sent my mum an e-mail the other day to let her know about steve irwin's tragic accident.

  this morning i got her reply:he will thrive in the new system when he will be able to get up close and personal with all wild creatures without fear.

  tis really sad as he was a good genuine man.. .

  Good Girl!

  I don't "keep my eye on the prize" anymore. I make sure that if I died tomorrow I wouldn't have regrets.

  I don't know if that's helpful but it's something that is positive in my mind...

  Congrats, your are very young to come to these conclusions!!

  It depends on what the meaning of "is" is.
