  Holy Spirit! Baptisim of fire??

  by mad max in

  2. beliefs

  wanted to know if the holy spirit is the same thing when people talk about being babtised with fire.

  does'nt sound the same.. reason being is when i went to this church end jan i accepted jesus into my life (can you believe it, i was supposed to do that when i became a jw or when i got babtised in 1982. just recentley got announced that i am no longer a jw) anyway i felt then that i received the holy spirit and had it quicken in me.

  now other people say to me "have i been babtised in the holy spirit?

  Now other people say to me "Have I been babtised in the Holy Spirit?" is this now different? is this the babtisim of fire? or is it the same Holy Spirit I knew God placed in me when I accepted His Son.

  You must know all this is sooooooo different to what we were taught as JW.

  Honestly, do you think that JW's really like going to 3 or 4day assemblies?

  honestly, do you think that jw's really like going to 3 or 4 day assemblies, especially when it's out of town, far away, and you have to take a motel room, and all the gas money and food money it takes, as well as having to sit down all day listening to endless talks...and that for 3 or 4 days in a row.. and often, they have to take a day off from work, to attend the friday meeting, so no pay for that day.. i think that the jw's are glad when it's finally over, not before.. .

  Only one assembly i enjoyed, was when it poured with rain and i was sitting on the grass, under an umbrella with black dustbin packets over the umbrella (so the rain did not pour in) pulled RIGHT DOWN to our face and slept.

  Most i disliked. Remember when I went out on the Friday night, drank a bit tooooo much, had to get up at the break of dawn (and I had just got home) and sit and try and listen without my head nodding, so I got wise that assembly, I took my dark glasses, lots of mints so my mom could not smell my breath and said I was really sick, slept on the blanket with my sisters little kids. ( sooooo glad she had little kids. I could sleep with them, because I was looking after them)

  Apart from that I WILL SAY AGAIN I DISLIKED THEM SO MUCH SO MUCH

  are you embarrased for what you have become?

  There is no motive: reason being is because they cannot think for themselves and have to have the org. think for them.

  Wish I was never associated with the JW, they should all be hiding their head's in SHAME, all the lies, decit, false prophet's they are.

  God KNOWS WHO YOU ARE and can read THEIR hearts, sinful, black as the pit, just like the dennis guy or girl (whoever) who posts and does not reply. They are the ones running scared. The big A is for people like you, hope to god you get thru to clean up all the bodies, (what a load of rubbish) Thank God I AM FREE. FREE. FREE.

  Google adv "Meet single JW just like you"

  by mad max in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't understand why they have put this ad up on this site, as it is only people who are not jw who look at this site (and others) so why advertise "meet single jw just like you on this site".

  i thought maybe it was for single ex jw, so went into that site, and low and behold it was for jw only.

  they were saying something like this "... we would like to say thank you so much brothers for this site as i have meet my wife/husband etc ....and thank you so much jehovah..".

  Hi Barbie and a very WARM WELCOME.

  How I feel is this LEAVE

  BOTH OF YOU

  but as I am sure you know if this guy of yours leaves the elders will seek him out to ask what is his intenstions: to stay in the org. or staying with you.

  What ever you do, dont just say to the elders that you want to get babtized, I am amazed that they or the "very concerned" sisters have not ask you already.

  keep posting here.

  Surley google should advertise on this site for single ex jw, that would make sense to me. Not that i am looking at the moment, but for futher it would be great, then I could meet ex jw who think like me.

  Does anyone know of a site for single ex jw?

  Just being told myself that "I am no longer a JW' and that's fine with me, but with you it looks like it could be quite hectic. My mom and big sister do not talk to me as well as my nephews and nieces which I LOVE SO MUCH IT HURTS, BUT one gets thru it. Just read Crisis of Conscience and that will MAKE you sit up and and realise that the org. is NOTHING.

  All the best.
