Genesis 11:6

by darth frosty in

there were some great comments from wtcomments on this weeks wt study.

but i found this subject very profound and wanted to get some more direct thoughts on this scripture.. .

jehovah said look!

wozadummy

Excellent point Darth ,it does seem unfair that he did'nt realy leave us tour own devices did he?

It then leads us to our day then ,what if man goes much further in his scientific endeavors like what we see with cloning, grandmothers giving birth to their daughters children etc ? Where will it end and when does God say again what he said at the tower of Babel .Does he again step in because we might crack the DNA code to live forever with no sickness? Will we still need him or will he just kill us all for having the audacity to prove that we can use the brain he gave us? mmmmmmm.........

Hi Aguest ,sorry to be so long replying ,been busy , I'm not going to anylyze point by point your reply for you are sincere in your beliefs but I would like to say that humility is really important to the lord .

Not that all approach him on bended knee but that they have a capacity ,even an inner humility that we with our eyes may not see for people may be, say, in an important job for instance and that gives them a demeanor that may hide this potential humility that others wish to extinguish within themselves as a percieved weakness ,but the lord looks for this .

Scriptually this can be demonstrated by the disciples trying to shoo away the children from the lord but he chastised them for the Kingdom belongs to such like ones ,that is ones willing to humble themselves .

That is why I disagree with you confessing the lord expects faith first for faith is not gained unless knowlege is given first so a humble heart can respond to it .Otherwise we would be saying the lord is racially prejudiced in the end for he and the spirit are rejecting millions of chinese,indians etcetc for not having faith first when geographically they have'nt been given any knowlege because of where they live and never had the predominance of opportunity that you've had in America to her the lords voice - in other words how could the lord ever call on someone who has never heard of him simply because of their geographic locality! How can that one put faith in him ,you make itsound like it's their fault for not believing in him.

It's that type of thinking that reminds me of the WTS who say Armaggeddon could be tomorrow and therefore condemning billions simply for their locality.

letter from my MOM(response to COC)

purplesofa, .

thanks for sharing this book with me.

although i'm sure this book is accurate and these things have happened within the governing body, it did happen a long time ago and even the "annoited" are imperfect men.. after alot of thought and prayer i chose to stay a witness- an active witness to my ability which is now limited.

wozadummy

I think you've done well Purps ,it must be very hard for her to leave something she sees as helping her through some difficult times.

She has read COC and the seeds are there and your continued love will help your relationship and even an accord of tolerance is better for now than the spiteful hatred that some spit at their relatives.

It can't be viewed as a situation that needs to be won for she has her own dignity even through her misconceptions of the WTS and patience is needed to hold your your treasured relationship. Some of us wish we had love from parents even though it's conditional at times.

I liked your presentation but I'm afraid it does sound a bit like someone just re explaining what the WTS has said. How come it's so unclear what the bible is supposed to teach ? It should be easy to understand for humble people like those Jesus taught and accepted him?

It seems reasonable that proud at heart would be blinded to the "truth" for Gods spirit would not accept these ,but we have a dilemna of a world with millions,possibly billions ,who seem humble but are not aparently accepted by the Lord and only those that pretend to be humble and are fairly intelligent IQ wise that seem to pick up the power trip that is being a religious leader and then command obedience to themselves in the name of the Lord - should'nt the call be distinct?

I also question your statement that Ministerial servants are men and women and that you come on here proclaiming clarity of the bible message given to you ,Is this then a hidden agenda on your part on taking to yourself headship that the bible and the lord may not wish you to have.

I respectively await your reply as just another bewildered ex whose perhaps a little tired of the uncertainness of the promises of religion .

Did you get offended when people would refer to you as 'a jehovah witness'?

by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit in

jw
friends

and correct them and say, 'no no you hump, i'm one of jehovah's witnesses', as in, 'i'm not alone fella, i'm one of many.

you mess with me, you mess with all of us.

do you not know that at any time i could summon a legion of other witnesses?'.

wozadummy

I think near the end I just whispered "quiet down not so loud"

I phoned London Bethel re Michael Porter / sex offender

by ThomasCovenant in

i rang london bethel and asked to speak to someone about the recent case in the british press about a jw child sex offender.

the lady at reception asked if i was a witness.

i replied that i can't see what that has got to do with it i just would like to ask some questions.

wozadummy

Nice post Thomas

As far as I'm concerned it's always been the understanding of the JW's that Elders were appointed by holy spirit ,and they don't like it being brought up to them and I'd bet you'd get alot of different answers .

I questioned the local elders about one of them who was made to step down after it was discovered he had commited adultery .The thing is though he had done it 14 years previous to his owning up ,and he did it before he was appointed an elder ,which was not long after his adultery.

They invariably look down at the floor searching for an answer.

blood fractions not allowed

by pippy in

i just spoke to a friend who was a witness years ago when we were kids and she told me an interesting thing.

when she went to the hospital to discuss things due to her being pregnant and going to have a baby at this hospital , they told her that the brisbane and gold coast hospitals were no longer going to offer jw's blood fractions.

they are sick and tired of all the unclear sayings and that ppl dont even know what they will accept or not , and they are having so many problems that they have a new form to be filled out.

wozadummy

I think the issue is more clouded in QLd because they have different paperwork handed out at the JW meetings to the other States because Qld'rs have different state laws.

anyone writing about Dave Madzay obviously never new him!!!!!!!!!!!!

by donna4174 in

i am writing because i am tired of people talking about rumours that they heard about dave madzay,he was the kindest , most intelligent man i ever new, yes he was df but only jehovah can judge him for things he did, no one else.he was an elder very high up in bethel who gave the most wonderful talks, helped many people,brought a lot of people into the truth and yet when he died not one jw attended his funeral.

how sad that a man who was so high up in bethel could be treated like this...........i was brought up in the truth until i was 15 , and turned away because of how dave was treated, even though dave had jehovah in his heart right up until his last breath and did everything he could do to be reinstated but sadly never was.........................i know i knew him

wozadummy

Yeh I'd like to know more too ,never heard of him by name ,but if he was DF'd was it for homosexuality ? for I did hear of someone of that description a couple of years ago being talked about.
