i was talking to a witness the other day and i was explaining from revelation how there is only one calling to heaven and there is not an earthly calling.
and the jw asked me to explain the verse from pslam which states teh meek shall inherit the earth and reside in it forever, any one have any scripture to refute his argument.
Narkissos,
Would you conclude...
I conclude nothing I merely take Jesus at his word. If he said the meek will inherit the earth that's fine with me. No need to second guess him. He spoke plainly in Matthew 5:3-12, I therefore take him at his word.

In Matthew 5 Jesus said the meek will inherit the earth. I take his word on that.

very seldom do you hear of a witness feeling like they are satisfied with what they have done in the "truth".
most feel like they "need to do more".
there's all this "urgency" to reach "honest hearted ones" before it is too late.
The Governing Body uses the power of guilt to manipulate and control their members.
They use the power of shunning to keep them in line.
They use the sheep's love for God as club to beat them with.
All in all the Governing Body is a cowardly bunch of shitheads who know next to nothing about God and his Son.

a few years ago, while i was still a jw, i started a topic on baptism:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/14060/1.ashx.
i wasn't aware of the in's-and-out's of the subject, just that i felt that my own baptism as a jw was somehow invalid, and wanted to do it properly.
Baptism is a symbolic dying to our former life and a resurrection to a new life which is dedicated to following the Christ in all things.
My thoughts,
Daytona
hopelessly stained,.
i saw you posted once and ran for the hills by deleting what you wrote ... its okay, we try to keep the ones that bite in their cages.
if you aren't ready to talk yet, please know you will be welcome and heard when you are ready, so long as you remain cognizant that those you post to are real people.
A fine person you are, Old Soul.
Keep well,
Daytona
so welcome to the board.
noticed you came in pretty strong.
where you a bethelite, or where/are you of the 'annointed'?.
Well, Daytona, come over and meet my mother. She'scrazy-- erm, annointed too.
Did she mistreat you? If so then I understand your mocking but if not then why do you mock?

Is that anointed in the JW sense or in the Christian sense?
Both.

i asked this question as part of another thread but i thought i would ask it in a new thread.
if there were some way to assure that your death would result in your family and friends learning the truth about the wts would you be willing to die to 'save' them?
Is the Watchtower a burning hell which no one can survive? That is the first question which must be answered before any are asked whether they would give their life.

Bethelite, no.
Anointed, yes.
Know the GB members? Yes.
I grieve for them.
