"Religion of Peace" update.....

by Shining One in

i have real penchant for 'political incorrectness' just because it inflames the liberal types here.

let's hear it for the 'religion of peace'!

listen up libs, the muslims are not your friends nor your allies.... .

Christianity, Judaism. Islam. three names, same religion, promoters of violence... I don't see a difference...

What you sow, is what you reap...

Universal Sovereignty

by joelbear in

okay, that's the big deal right.

why billions of people have to starve to death, why millions of witnesses trudge door to door and live perfectly chaste live.. so here is the history of jehovah's universal sovereignty.

in the beginning there was god.

Would someone play therapist or teach me, " How to keep your sanity 101"

acadian

Hello troubled mind,

I'm not a doctor i only play one on the internet...LOL

It sounds like you are expserancing post trumatic stress syndrom, some thing like that.

Probably all the stress over you sister, your as they say comming down from all that stress, it should go away shortly

I wouldn't worry, but if it continues,seek professional help to be safe'

144,000, can someone help me understand this better?

by secretlove in

i'm sort of having an affair with a jw.

it's been a 14 year old love/lust thing that we've never really come to terms with.

i'm not a jw so that has always been a problem.

acadian

Good morning and Welcome secretlove,

In the meantime we both married other people.

the simple answer is forget each other and get on with your own lives.

No good will come of this relationship, for one thing it's based on deception, so I doutb that either one of you are really happy and it's not your mates, it's your snicking around.
Ask yourself a question, do I really want to be with someone who would lie to their mate/wife to have a secret relationship with you.

how could you really trust that person, that they wouldn't do the same too you.

Most relationships like this end in only harming all concerned.

On the 1444,000 thing, a witness teaching with no scriptural basis.

You know what the right thing to do is, do it.

Kind Regards

What did you take with you when you left the organization?

by coffee_black in

leaving the organization, it is like packing for a journey you can choose what you take with you, and what you leave behind (other than people).

there are things i chose to take with me.

for example, i have used the sales training to my advantage over the years.

acadian

The money from the contribution box...hehehe!

Has the Watchtower ever claimed to be inspired?

by jwfacts in

.

does anyone know if the watchtower has ever claimed to be inspired?

i know that they claim to be directed by holy spirit, which means the same as being inspired, but have they ever used the word inspired?

Hey,

*** w72 4/1 p. 197 ‘They Shall Know that a Prophet Was Among Them’ ***

Sub heading: IDENTIFYING THE "PROPHET" However, Jehovah did not let the people of Christendom, as led by the clergy, go without being warned that the League was a counterfeit substitute for the real kingdom of God. He had a "prophet" to warn them. This "prophet" was not one man, but was a body of men and women. It was the small group of footstep followers of Jesus Christ, known at that time as International Bible Students. Today they are known as Jehovah’s Christian witnesses. They are still proclaiming a warning, and have been joined and assisted in their commissioned work by hundreds of thousands of persons who have listened to their message with belief. Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a "prophet" of God. It is another thing to prove it. The only way that this can be done is to review the record. What does it show?

There's more, this is from the 2004 cd

The persons that had brought you into the WTS

by greendawn in

after the wts became a troublesome entity for you, how did you feel about the specific jws that persuaded you to come into the org which subsequently caused you so much heartache?

did you confront them on the issue?

acadian

Morning all,

Gumby said:

Anyone who brings another into this faith usually does so out of sincerity that they are doing gods work and they feel they are doing people a kind service by offering eternal life. Why get mad at them?

I would agree, the person who i studied with was of the "anointed class" (yeah right) and he was sincere, he became my best friend,our families
went camping together, and did all sorts of things together.

He eventually became an elder, any way he's one of the reasons i left the Org. and he was one of the elders who came to our house one fateful nite. What pissed me off the most about this supposed Bro. was that i wanted to show them scriptures and articles from the Mags. but he refused to look at them, i had brought out some points about being a prophet, and how the Mags even said they were prophets, he denigned the Mags even said that ,well i had the Mag in hand and he still denigned it, unbelievable.

Then the supposed Bro. ask if i thought that i've progress beyond them, i didn't say anything, then he said "so what, you think were still in kindergarden,and you've progressed beyond us",I didn't say anything except , "those are your words." ( he was right though.)

All i know if he had the power to administer the death penalty, he would have. He had a look that could have killed.

I went from being a best friend, too his worst enemy. and all i was doing was deep research in the bible, but we can't have that now, can we?

Take your BLINDERS OFF!

Happy Valley cong. Calif. Ca. USA D. McGee, sorry Dan yer not "Anointed", yer disappointed. D. McGee of the McGee and Brigham families for those of you who know them.

Folks you got to see the 'truth'

by KW13 in

jw
friends

damn i managed as a kid to encourage some friends and finally their parents to be jw's.

i wish i hadn't done that now cos basically i see the real truth, all i have done is decided part of their life and the guilt sometimes isn't good.

acadian

Good morning Kw13, you said,

all i have done is decided part of their life

So, it was your decision that they became JW's?

I don't think so, I understand how you might feel, but it was their decision,their choice, not your's.

But now that you see things differently, maybe you can show them what you know.

Undecide what you decided for them, so to speak.

Kind Regards Kw13

Christianity, Judaism, Islam, their all the same, just a differant name.

Were looking at the moment,right now, but over time (past history) I wonder who have destroyed the most lives.

I would say God looks with disproval on all three.

You have fanatics in all three groups.
