The GB, jehovah and correcting grevious errors

by greendawn in

what do you think about the doctrine of the gb which maintains that it is no one's business to meddle in the way they run god's org (in fact their org) because god himself will put things right in his due time?.

isn't that a disgusting excuse to let them carry on abusing the r&f with false knowledge?

just think of it there are many errors many r&f are pointing them out and god is sitting there mysteriously ignoring the errors and as if by a whim he will at some time later decide to direct the gb to correct these errors.

Star Moore

Hello Greendawn...

What is R & F? When you said this:

Why don't they follow the advice of the R&F and correct things there and then? Why is God taking so much time to set things right?

I was thinking of a scripture..refering to the 'man of lawlessness' ... which I'm not sure if the WT is a part of or not.. but this part of the scriptures fit..

II Thes. 2:9 'But the lawless one's presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs......as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth .....So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.'

Greendawn, I know that God lead me out of the WT. And maybe he's using this time to try to lead as many out as possible.. That's my guess .. What do you think??

what do other religions believe about jesus ruling " invisibly"

by candidlynuts in

jw
friends

as a jw we believed he was in power after 1914 .

do other religions believe he rules or will rule "invisibly"?.

and if he is in power, what do you think of his job performance so far?.

Star Moore

Hi Candidly,

I think Jesus is returning visibly, and audibly.. As the sword comes out of his mouth. To me that fullfills the scripture..in

Is. 11:4B 'And he must strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the spirit of his lips he will put the wicked one to death.'

So, people would hear him speak..in judgement.

I think the reason he always arrives 'in a cloud'.. is because his identity is hidden or fogged over.. at first. As Rev. 19:12B says..

'He has a name written that no one knows but he himself. '

I also think his coming does cover a period of time.. the parousia, or presence or (great tribulation) (not an instantaneous event)

You said

and if he is in power, what do you think of his job performance so far?

I think his job wouldn't be to help people deliver WT and AW's, but to expose the corruption in a judgemental type of way.. and to take down the evil system.. as shown in

Ps. 110:5....will certainly break kings to pieces on the day of his anger. He will execute judgement among the nations. .....

How do you anticipate the Watchtower's fall?

by JH in

slowly and progressively, or rapidly after a specific date?.

Star Moore

Hi there:

Unfortunately, I think, it will only happen when Jesus comes and judges and establishes pure religion.. Yes, I think it will take that, to bring them down..

A Good Creed For All Religions To Adopt?

by lovelylil in

jw
friends

the dalai lama said that the basic creed of all religions comes down to this: love god/love each other.

what are some other creeds that you think all religions should adopt and why?

lilly

Star Moore

hmm....sounds familiar...

Math. 22:36 - 40 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" He said to him: "You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this: 'You must love you neighbor as yourself' On these two commandments whe whole Law hangs and the Prophets.'

But, let's see all religions.. ? Should be against:

immoral sex (rape, incest, children, adultry) , murder, stealing, false testimonies

Who/What is the faithful and discreet slave?

by KW13 in

jw
friends

i know its not the dubs, but so that i have an answer to any dub.

who/what is the faithful and discreet slave mentioned in matthew?

Star Moore

Hello KW13,

I'm thinking...#1 that the slave would be giving spiritual food to the domestics, (or ones already in the household of God).

#2 that the slave would all be united as one, or an individual. (I would say, considering the context, all, united as one)

I do believe there are 2 groups of christians with one hope, (the earth)...So, I'm inclined to believe the slave would be the 144,000, all united together in Christ, and concerned with the sharing of the good news with one another.

The evil slave would have to be the ones who got power hungry and oppressive to their fellow slaves.. like the GB as a group.

Favourite Biblical verses

by greendawn in

did you have any favourite biblical verses as jws or after leaving?

for me it was: "everyone believing in me will have eternal life" as spoken by jesus.

Star Moore

Yes, Greendawn...for 26 years, never heard this one.. didn't even know it was there!!!

I John 2:27 And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you, but one to be teaching you; but, as the anointing from him is teaching you about all things, and is true and is no lie ....

How do you say good-bye?

by hambeak in

my doctor called me today and told me i have a very aggressive case of colon cancer.

i go back on monday for more tests and maybe surgery and chemo i don't know.

my partner is a total mess over this and he is all i have.

Star Moore

Dear Gary,

I have stage 3 breast cancer.. I did have a radical, modified mascectomy.. but I am not going for the chemo and radiation.. I've decided to go with the holistic..

I have read a little bit on how cancer cannot survive in a alkaline body. It has to have a acidic body to spread.

This is supposed to be true.. and getting a clean colon is an enormous help.. I've been making vegetable juice, (supposed to every day) . Up to a quart..

May God bless you, with the treatment you choose,

Love, STAR

need advice on this

by BlackSwan of Memphis in

jw
friends

ok so this is the scenario:.

yesterday my husband was jogging along the road.

my brother stops him.

Star Moore

Hi dear one..

I like Unique's advice:

I say give him your email address and go on your merry way, especially if you are happier that way. My parents not speaking to me has actually been a blessing in disguise.

But then again...You have to go where the spirit leads you... And Auld Soul is right.. It's your call.. and you have to do what you can take or can't take.. But, Jesus' advice.. about turning the other cheek.. is good. We don't want them to somehow turn it around that, we were the mean ones..

The ideal christian church should be how?

by greendawn in

the wts claims that it is the true christian religion but it obviously isn't, it is a heartless business more than anything else.

but how do imagine the true religion to be?

it obviously should be very spiritual but how exactly is this to be manifested in its life?

Star Moore

Ideal Church? Well, really ideal, would have to be in the new world. Without the men and women in the fallen flesh... and with Jesus in person, telling us exactly how to run things.. Now it's a hopeless, mess of power struggles and backstabbing.. and divisions..

Waiting and hoping for the day to come.. and in the meantime, I just do very small home studies..
