[courts sentence drunk drivers to aa (alcoholic anonymous) meetings and use the same protocol having a 'court paper' signed by the meeting's chairperson.many drunks will become full fledged aa 12 step followers and will praise the court action that introduced them to the 'program'.it appears this man's sentence is modeled after the same idea.

Maybe he will find one of those lonely misguided women with 4 children and start up a relationship.

Musings from a JW message board pt. 1

by jeeprube in

here the latest gem i've found from a jw message board.. under the topic "afraid this board will become apostate" the moderator writes:.

this is one of my greatest worries and so i am a over protecter of this site and believe me i have a big fear letting anyone post i find unforthcoming in their request to join.

unless i trust you sorry you will not be posting on the site.

6 I marvel that YOU are being so quickly removed from the One who called YOU with Christ’s undeserved kindness over to another sort of good news. 7 But it is not another; only there are certain ones who are causing YOU trouble and wanting to pervert the good news about the Christ. 8 However, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to YOU as good news something beyond what we declared to YOU as good news, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said above, I also now say again, Whoever it is that is declaring to YOU as good news something beyond what YOU accepted, let him be accursed.

Is it, in fact, men I am now trying to persuade or God? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I would not be Christ’s slave. 11 For I put YOU on notice, brothers, that the good news which was declared by me as good news is not something human; 12 for neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught [it], except through revelation by Jesus Christ.

The WTS is accursed!

Does the WTBTS pay taxes on their housing buildings? I think all religions should pay taxes!

Have you ever heard a Jehovah's Witness....

by Honesty in

.

get upset when another jw says anything that might be interpreted as being disloyal to the faithful discreet slave?.

if so, did it make you feel uneasy?

Rooster

A few times I thought they would have me in the back room for things I said. The PO had me in the back room chewing my ass of when I was the account servant. That’s another story..

What do you believe now?

by NowImFree in

i have been out of the jws officially for over 3 years now, since disassociating.

after researching the history of the organization and reading the bible (without) the watchtower, i am now a christian.

i am just curious what happens to most ex-jws as far as their beliefs go, after they leave the organization.

Rooster

I definitely don't think organized religion is the answer. I believe a personal faith in Christ for salvation is the answer. Since I left the JWs and became Christian, I don't follow men anymore. My ultimate guidance is God through Christ and the bible. If someone who is a religious authority says something that I don't agree with or doesn't sound right to me, I take it with a grain of salt. I do go to church for the fellowship and I find it very encouraging and uplifting, but I follow my conscience and try to do what I think Christ would want me to do. Totally different mindset than when I was a Jehovah's Witness, I was worshipping and following a manmade organization and didn't even know it.

I read my bible daily and have taken my stand with Jesus Christ. I don't go to any church now. I have gotten under Jesus' yoke and will try to stay there. I identify myself as a Christian when someone wants to take on the conversation. I must say I have been unsuccessful in talking to any of the current witness. They all shut down when you discuss the bible with them. I feel sorry for them.

Be Industrious-Inherit the Promises

by Rooster in

1 our study of the scriptures has revealed to us the many wonderful promises jehovah has made.

but who will inherit these?

the apostle paul, writing the hebrews, answers: "god is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name, in that you have ministered to the holy ones and continue ministering.

Rooster

A funny thing I was talking a few years back to a brother and I ask him "will Jesus ask to see our time cards?" His answer was why yes. I said think about what you are saying. Do you think that Jesus does not know who you are and what you have been doing? Wake up!
