THE WAGES SIN PAYS

by Dansk in

the bible tells us that the wages sin pays is death.

therefore, when we die our debt is paid.. however, in the bible there are a number of cases where people got resurrected.

as their debt was paid, this means they couldn't die again.. ah, but some might say that these ones merely went on to live the average length of time and then died again.

The

DemonsAreKillers!

Satan and the demons have always been cruel and dangerous. In early times Satan killed the livestock and servants of faithful Job. Then he killed Job’s ten children by causing "a great wind" to destroy the house they were in. After that Satan struck Job with "a malignant boil from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head."—Job 1:7-19; 2:7.

In Jesus’ day, the demons made some people speechless and blind. (Matthew 9:32, 33; 12:22) They tormented one man and made him slash himself with stones. (Mark 5:5) They also caused a boy to cry out, dashed him to the ground, and "violently convulsed him."—Luke 9:42.

Today, Satan and the demons are as murderous as ever. In fact, their evil activity has increased since they were thrown out of heaven. Reports from around the world testify to their cruelty. They plague some people with illness. Others they harass at night, depriving them of sleep or giving them terrible dreams. Others they abuse sexually. Still others they drive to insanity, murder, or suicide.

Lintina, who lives in Suriname, relates that a demon, or bad spirit, killed 16 members of her family and tormented her physically and mentally for 18 years. From firsthand experience she states that the demons "enjoy torturing their unwilling victims until death."

But Jehovah is able to protect his servants from Satan’s attacks.—Proverbs 18:10.

i am probably being ultra sensitive at this time ......., but i am recieving sympathy cards from our old witness friends , and they are saying things such as : " when she wakes up she'll be looking for you .

" and " we also must be resolved to fight to finish loyal to jehovah even at great cost and pain.

she will be waiting eagerly to see her family after her resurrection.

My Bethel experience

by new boy in

jw
friends

because of the length of this, it will be done in two parts.

part 1. i when to bethel march 21,1970. at the time you had to be a pioneer for two years to apply, by the time i left in 1974 they were calling people in who had never pioneered..........average stay was 5 months ( they had signed up for 4 years)..........the reason they left was......well, it was hell.. one of the reasons was, knorr hated bethelites, but he loved the gilead students and why?

because when they screwed up they were thousands of miles away!........just before i got there, they had kicked out over 60!

I’m sorry to go against you all, but I did hear them (elders) tell me the truth once AND it came true.
