  Not aJW, but have a question

  by roseybarb in

  2. friends

  i hope it's alright that i post a question, even though i've never had any affiliation with jw organization.

  i have a friend who has been trying to convince me for years to study with jw.

  i've been doing alot of research on jw and was just wondering if people here would be kind enough to tell me why they have decided to quit their affiliation with jw organization.

  The whole set up is a form of idolatry. Their teaching that salvation can only be attained by being an active member of the "Jehovah’s Witnesses" takes away from the true source of salvation simply believing in Jesus Christ. To look to an organization for salvation is wrong.

  Thus they have taken over the roll of Jesus.

  This is my last post bye.

  here's what the bible says .... .

  psalms 40:1 - happy is anyone acting with consideration toward the lowly one; in the day of calamity jehovah will provide escape for him.. here's what the branch organization manual says .... chapter 9/ page 78.

  17. refusal of blood transfusions: if our brothers' obedience to abstain form blood is being ignored by healthcare providers with or without court authority, legal action may be warranted.

  Appointed

  asaWatchmantoChristendom

  A WATCHMAN should be specially appreciated in time of danger. His services by day and night, if appreciated and acted upon, result in protection and life for those over whom he acts as watchman. The people of Christendom have been in great danger ever since the "time of the end" began with the expiration of the "times of the Gentiles" ("the appointed times of the nations") in early autumn of the year 1914 C.E. This being in danger has been not just because the first world war was then raging and gaining momentum, to introduce an "age of violence" that has continued on down to this day. There is a danger also for a more serious reason, as we shall see.

  2

  Christendom set up first the League of Nations, and in 1945 the United Nations, as her watchman in behalf of world peace and security, but these have not worked. Rather, the spiritual interests of the people of Christendom have been endangered, the danger in this respect being particularly great because the spiritual interests have to do with one’s eternal life or one’s eternal death. The fact that the clergy did not stick to Christian principles so as to prevent World War I proved that, collectively, they were no reliable spiritual watchman.

  Divorce Records in the United Kingdom

  we have been totally shunned for a couple of years now by my husband's family.

  we literally know nothing of what they are up to and doing etc.. my husband accidentally found out that his sister is in the process of getting a divorce from her husband and we don't know why, what or anything?.

  obviously, the family are not going to tell us anything.

  I played Tetris and half of the screen was for player two. So player twos side never got played very much. After a couple of years it screwed it up.. I had a repair man look at it. He said it was a lost cause.

  Fixing Yourself

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after the dubs, i found i had to 'rebuild myself' and discover who i actually was, anything prior to the dubs is usually well gone and a chance for a life requires sheer dedication.. fortunately i used some of the the things i was taught as a dub (like standing my ground when i firmly believe something) and managed to pull through like all of you have done or are doing .

  its a pity such an org exists as the wbt society...if i had the chance to end it now i wouldn't pass on it..

  Don't do it. Life is to short. Killing yourself is not the answer to your problems.

  The downside of rear projection is that the bulb is only good for 4,000 to 10,000 hours, depending on who you ask. At 5 hours per day, that's somewhere close to 2,000 hours per year. So I guess I should figure on 2 to 5 years or so before the bulb needs replacing.

  I have a 52" sony rear projection. I use to play video games on it and destroyed it. Ended up throwing it in the trash.

  Mis,
  
  I have no clue at what your post said. I couldn't read it as I was distracted by that very SEXXXXY pic on your bio. It gave me rather impure thoughts.

  Ran into a JW and DFed, DAed, or faded?

  2. experiences

  okay, i'm interested in experiences where you are dfed, daed or faded and you ran into a jw somewhere.

  if you are dfed or daed, most likely they'd just ignore you.

  this is unless you ran into them at work (like a restaurant, bank, grocery store) where it is there job to talk to you.

  My wife was in the grocery store two weeks ago and ran into the P.O.’s wife. It went like this Wife say’s hello. P.O.’s wife say hello. My wife says how have you been? P.O.’s turns her head and pushes her cart away with no answer.

  This was great for the wife. If she was even thinking of returning this woman’s conduct put a stop to it.. "Praise Jah you people."
