  THE CELESTIAL ORGANIZATION HAS MOVED AND WE ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND…

  the celestial organization has moved and we are being left behind.

  first the awake was going to a monthly issue.. buildings are being sold.. then came the 2005 service report and the stagnating figures around the globe.. then we all heard about the 2,500 bethelites sent packing off brooklyn and the 1,000s on the international branches.. when i first read the news i though they were sending out 2,500+ new apostates to the street.. i started to wonder how will they both address the simplifications and cost cutting and urge the rank and file to do more without pulling the big armageddon card out, since this has backfired on multiple occasions.

  downsizing and activity were mutually exclusive imho.. well they are certainly clever.

  Are Jw's spiritually or physically minded people?

  by Honesty in

  since 99.9% of all jw's do not claim to have the holy spirit within them in what ways can they be spiritual people?.

  a examination of 1 cor 2:10-15 raises some questions about jwism:.

  1 cor 2:10-15 now god has revealed them to us by the spirit, for the spirit searches everything, even the deep things of god.

  first let me start off by saying i am very sick myself right now.

  i have a virus that settled in my nerves (very very painful and no it isn't herpes), and now two weeks in i caught a very bad upper respiritory bronchities.

  i spent my day in bed as i have been for most of two weeks now with no end in sight (dammit).. not trying for sympathy points, but this just isn't a good time for this!.

  I am just glad he didn't put it in the box at the local klingdom hall. There would be buildings popping up in every neighborhood then!

  my wife and i have been married 6 years now.

  she was a jw when we married as is her entire family.

  i was, and still am, very attracted to her because of the way she carries herself and her compassion.. i would like anyone who has had a similar experiance or was a jw to better help me understand what is going on in their heads when it comes to birthdays and such.

  Yes I do. Why do some get to go but not others? I plan to spend eternity there singing in Gods Choir. You can't tell me that out of the 144000 that they can all carry a tune?
