  Jan 1st WT: Reaching out, Higher Education and Providing for one's needs

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, as a nice start to the new year, the jan 1st watchtower article, "how firm is your trust in god" blasts those who live comfortable lives, those who don't reach out, and those who pursue higher education.. definitely, they are taking a harsher stand, having completely painted themselves into a corner.. i highlighted the interesting comments.

  i did not include all the text for each paragraph, just the main points.. .

  1 a young man wanted to be more useful to the congregation.

  I would be wonderful if we could gather all of these articles on avoiding higher education, and quitting jobs to serve the WTS and take all of these to the Courts and have the R&F that have been harmed by that BS, sue the WTS for monetary support, since they are the ones telling people to do these things, it really burns me up, when I think of all the harm they are causing, I wish someone would follow the money trail, because I have come to believe that this Borg is run by those people, the ones that are getting those billions, and I would not doubt that the Zionists have something to do with that, not to start a conspiracy theory, but there are interesting things that have been said here to that effect.

  If indeed the Zionist's are behind this, the lack of mentioning Jesus Christ in the publications all the while hiding behind the "we are true christians" crap, would all make sense.

  YES and NO, now that I see all the pain this is causing to my Mom, who is devastated thinking that all her children and grandchildren are going to die in armaggedon, I wish I could just forget all we know now, and go back to believing the lies BUT, then I come back to my senses and see how much I've grown as a person, the joy we all feel knowing that life is so much more than we knew in that WTS box.

  Giving up the WTS earthly paradise idea, was painful, until I learned that we go on after death, and get to see all our loved ones, and heaven is what you believe it to be, for some it is standing before the throne of God, for others it is a beautiful earth like paradise and so on, that brought much joy and comfort back to my life, as far as my Mom goes, she will have to learn to accept me for who I am, we should love our children unconditionally, kids grow up, and they have a mind of their own, but I want to be there for them no matter what beliefs they want to embrace, as long as it doesn't envolve killing people.

  I AM FREE, and I wouldn't trade that for anything!

  by the way SeattleNiceGuy I love what you wrote, had to print it out, thanks.

  Tax the churches

  by startingover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i came upon this letter to the editor in my morning newspaper:.

  churches ought to be taxed like others.

  after sept. 11, 2001, i think it was jerry falwell who said that it happened because people turned away from god.

  My sister and I were just talking about this, someone close to us might be dragged into a JC meeting, and basically we told him to just pretend to be really sorry, and repentant, and very humble, they won't know any different without 2 witnesses. The funny thing, no, one of the funny things about this religion is that the way it's structured, as long as you don't disagree with what they say, or have a haughty attitude when called in, you can fool them, because we know it doesn't matter either way, the end result is that they end up with many people who are JW's just to not lose their social life or family, who put in fake hours and can inform others about the lies and contradictions about the religion, and they will never know who did it.

  So in essence they create their own monsters, when a family member is df'd they are told "well, you know what you have to do, to have a relationship with us again", essentially you are bribed into coming back, although some people don't care and are just glad to be out, others are devastated and alone in the world, and eventually swallow their pride and although they no longer believe in the "Lie" , "Truth" they come back, and get their freinds and family back, this is all such BS .

  What's the big deal about the Freemasons anyway? I've read some stuff about them, I don't think the thing about Devil worship is true, just some rituals similar to what the Egyptians did, I don't see what the big deal in that is? If someone here is a Mason, Id'e like to learn more.

  I read this book The Hiram Key, very interesting read, they say that the real Jesus was a member of the Essene sect and they did Masonic rituals, at this point I've learned that anything is possible.

  where to start?

  first off i want to say that i actually took notes with my really cool 4 colour pen, and i colour coded my comments accordingly.

  green = vomit inducing, red = furious, blue = makes me sad, and black = makes me want to die, lets just say that my article was really green .

  I was just commenting to my husband this morning about how glad I was that we didn't go Sunday and listen to that LOAD OF CRAP!

  So I guess, that when all these JW kids, leave school and pioneer the WTS will hand out checks to make up for the money these kids won't be making? NOT!

  Hey by the way, I really enjoyed that rant, that was GREAT! How true!

  Lord, if you are up there please help the WTS implode, I can dream cant I?

  This just shows the desperation of someone pulling at straws to prove something unprovable, just because you find a name doesn't mean that was the person that the bible was talking about, duh!
