A Bethel Crisis

by metatron in

friends

i gotta wonder if the organization will be forced.

to make big changes because of 'reaping what they've.

sown'.. witness kids get critical thought beaten out of them.. new converts have dried up.

Parody WT Article
**Is Bethel In Crisis?**

Some may want to ask, is the hard working brothers and sisters of Jehovah's loving organization feeling the "hard labors"? (out of context scripture-PickABook 23:10). Certainly not! We are hard at work at ... [Oh my god! It's all a lie! This author is painting a pretty picture of a living hell! Please, send someone to save us. They're threatning to take our only know lively hood of free labor in printing away! I'm in grave danger in this revelation. I hear the footsteps of 12 old men coming up the stairway as I edit this column. Send help, anyone...please! I hear their moans as they approach, the low gutteral of "Braaiiinnz, Braaaiiinzz". I'm trapped, there's no way out. They've boarded up all the windows in guise of our safety! Just the other day, Brother Faithful disappeared after when he questioned the Governing Body about the lunch meal. He wondered why they were serving rats as the main course! The door is breached! I'm done for! Someone save me! -Ed]

So you can see, we are truly happy in doing Jehovah's work, and supplying Jehovah Witnesses world wide the "meat in due season".

Some of the Ultima games I remember were on the C-64. These are one I remember enjoy playing. I'm sure there's more.

True religion - anyone have a clue?

by Tin Man in

jw
friends

what is the true religion anyone have a clue?.

i would love to know, if anyone does have a clue; being a witness most of my life it gave me this feeling like i really was in the true religion and god really was with me cause i belonged to the "true religion.. i have noticed that witness's say the elders were appointed by holy spirit, how do they know did they see it, it just dawned on me that all of it has been based on the premise that i had to have faith in what they say rather then substantiated facts; all of what they say simply put is nothing more then words, contrived by men only, if you tell them this you get the treatment like your going to be destroyed which is paramount to going and burning in hell.

What is "THE" true religion according to the Bible?

Hinduism?
Islam?
Shinto?
Money?
Your career?
Bhudism?

hmmmm...

religion, religion....thinking thinking.....

I know that I believe in Christ...

Christianity?

Ah, that must be it. Yes...to me (some have their own belief in what "the" true religion is, and more power to 'em) to me...Christianity is "THE" true religion.

Now...let's ask: Is there a "ONE TRUE" organization? Can't recall any scriptures citing that there is, or should be. I just recall that Christ said I had to believe that he was the Son of God, and who ever believed this...that they would be saved. And, Love God with my whole M-H-B-S. Love my neighbor as myself. And that should cover all. And ah...spread the "word" around.

Don't recall him asking me to fill out time cards. Don't recall him saying that there was someone, some people, or some organization that had to be acknowledged to approch him. Or do service to him.

I do recall him saying that this message was for "everyone".

I have a personal theory that I apply to myself. It may help you, you may see it differently. But perhaps sharing it with you, may aid you.

I think that Christ kept the message this simple because he knew humanity would abuse, twist, corrupt, and alter what he said. That humanity would serve itself in this message. And I dont think I have to cite examples to show that humanity has done this...it's on a grand level for the past 2,000 years since Christ's death.

If you truly have a belief in Christ. Read the Bible and discern what it has to say to you. The Borg have taught that you are not capable of just reading the Bible without their help. I believe otherwise. I believe that the Bible was written for everyone. I believe that the application of what I've read in the Bible is to be applied to myself. That this is for me, and for me to live by.

For those who wonder: D8TA what do you think people should do in XXXXX situation?

My reply: People are going to do what they want to do. Believe in what they believe. I am commanded by Jesus to love them regardless. The judgement of Christ on other people is not my concern, where as the judgement of Christ on myself...I am concerned. Live and let live.
