  Brothers Be Happy - WT Study for October 25-32, Earnestly Seek Jehovah's Blessing...

  it's no good just to go through the motions.

  to achieve jehovah's blessings, the brothers and sisters must have the right heart motivation; to conduct their work in joy and love and remind themselves that the load is not burdensome.. but what if the work is boring and burdensome?

  what if in the organization and scheduling of "god's organization", the spirit of the law has been lost?.

  Debator:

  He recognised it as hard, tiring, emotional, difficult but joyful work.

  He only did it for 3 years. My Mom has been doing it for over 40 years. The only relief in sight is her death, or get off that treadmill. Your logic is tiresome. Jesus hasn't only left the building in Brooklyn, I doubt he was EVER there in the first place.

  Burns, the banks were just in too much hurry to make fast money. Being responsible, your mortage was probably researched and obtained through an HONEST lender.

  And have you read how they are still tacking on fees for re-writing the mortgage? This went deeper than your Average American realized. So many people are simply saying "fuck it". People who always paid their bills ontime, not the slackers who rack up debt and file bankruptcy are just fed up.

  The Doctrine of Hell

  by Yizuman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is the doctrine of hell a hindrance or a help in witnessing?

  many evangelicals are ashamed of this biblical doctrine, viewing it as a blemish to be covered up by the cosmetic of divine love.

  but this dishonors gods word.

  Then it's yours!!!!

  Yep, they were NOT worried about repayment. That's why they fudged the facts and home ownership and home prices skyrocketed!! Now the people who could not afford the home, or have lost their jobs, can't repay. They cry fowl? If I loan someone money knowing they can't pay it back, that is irresponsible if I need that money later on.

  And kp, don't worry about the "apostate" label. It's just a name they throw around to shut you up.

  I embrace it. While I don't actively go around Witness bashing, they view me as apostate for SIMPLY NOT AGREEING WITH THEM. So fine, I don't agree with them---they resort to calling names??? Third grade, anyone?

  Welcome, kp!

  Our parents thought they were doing the right thing and saving our lives. Your Dad was just doing what he had been taught, he loved you and wanted you to live. The lousey father comment is very sad, the desperation of his final act is even more sad.

  I'm in my early 40's and I distinctly remember the "Malawi" incident. I was terrified!!!! Who wants to be tortured and raped and beaten? Not for me!

  Panic attacks from watching the news? Yes! I was constantly looking for signs of the "end". I'm happy it didn't come back then, because I've met so many great people and enjoyed so much of my life since leaving.

  My story is on here, you'd just have to click my user name and read my posts. It's been quite a journey!
