--read 1 john 3:16.. comments.

q 18, 19. how should we view any counsel that we receive from a christian friend, and what example did the ephesus.

why not the david example here...david's servants and family had to know.. q 21. what will all of us do at times, but why is it vital that we maintain strong friendships in the congregation?.

2. Today, what a pleasure it is to be associated with a worldwide organization whose members follow the pattern set by

those first-century Christians!We are determined to obey Jesus' command to display genuine love for one another.

However, during these last days, people in general are disloyal and fail to show natural affection. (2 Tim. 3:1-3)

Leave it to the 5th grade writing department to write this garbage. (Are the attending any Kingdom Halls to see what's really going on?)

How many times have you seen fueds between Elders where some don't even talk to each other?

How many members leave the congregation and join another congregation because of genuine hate for one another?

How many are ''marked'' because they are spiritually weak?

How many cliques are there in the congregation?

How many are sick at home or in the hospital where no one visits or calls?

BLONDIE:THANK YOU FOR WALKING IN THIS BULL FOR ALL OF US WHO LOST ALL RESPECT FOR THIS ORGANIZATION!

Service groups on Christmas Day.......Can't they leave people alone for one day?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

my wife took our dog for a walk this morning around 9:30 a.m. and saw a ''service group'' leaving my uncle's house this morning.

she said there were about 8 people getting in 2 cars.

she asked me, ''why would they go out today when people are celebrating christmas''?

She asked me, ''Why would they go out today when people are celebrating Christmas''? I explained that everyone is home today and the WTS thinks that householders are more happy today and will listen more than usual.

I always thought that out of all the days people shouldn't be bothered by the preaching work...... it would be today. How come it's alright for Witnesses to bother people today but you couldn't bother them on meeting nights?

Was the Jehovah's Witnesses sect called into existence to undermine Christianity?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i have just finished the book ''worldwide evil and misery'' by robin de ruiter.

the book is about how approximately 300 men and unseen powers pull the strings and determine the fate of the world.

the new world order govern our politics,business,social,and intellectual process.. on page 100 titled ''undermining the faith in christianity'', he writes that many destructive religious sects were formed in the nineteenth century by the clans of the rothschilds,warburgs,and rockefellers.

The Mormon's,Jehovah's Witnesses,and many others were called into existence to divert people from true Christianity.

I believe that with the wacky teachings of both the Mormon's and Jehovah's Witnesses this could be true. They both started in the late 1800's and have had a cult following since. What do you think?

February 2010 Study Watchtower - Millions Now Living 'May' Never Die

by Marni Mai in

just noticed that in the february 2010 study edition of the watchtower, they refer to the "millions now living will never die" talk in 1918, but they have changed the title to "millions now living may never die".

only problem, they included the picture of the invitation to the talk, which says 'will'.. ooops.

it's on page 16. enjoy.. .

Great find!

They have a way of changing things in a subtle way. Most of the members have neither read or ever seen the book. Now,the word ''may'' will be ingrained in everyone's head. The ''light'' is getting darker and darker for the WTS.

Flipper : I'm the biggest Led Zeppelin fan out there. I had all their albums(before c.d.'s came out) and saw them live in concert in 1977 sitting in the 5th row. It was so loud that I couldn't hear for 2 days. I purchased a poster that night of the band and taped it on my wall when I got home. My mom (who was just starting to study with the Witnesses) took the poster down and ripped it into pieces. She said that the band and I were all posessed from the DEVIL.

I think that the album ''PHYSICAL GRAFFITI" was their best album. One thing I really liked about them was that no two albums ever sounded alike.

Here is a group called DREAD ZEPPELIN who mixed Elvis with Led Zeppelin. See what you think.

All around the street markets and shopping areas we saw Jehovah's Witnesses street witnessing . They were all sitting around in the shade holding a Watchtower magazine without ever talking to anyone. They held up the magazine while talking to each other. I watched them for about 20 minutes while my wife shopped and never saw anyone approach them .

Did you ever street witness? What were you told to do when you went street witnessing? Is holding a magazine really preaching or just getting in service time?

January 2009 Awake - Where is the quote source listed?

by AdaMakawee in

i just took my dog out for a walk and found an awake laying on the ground, all wet where someone threw it.

so i picked it up because i thought it would be worth a few laughs.

i'm absolutely stunned by the amount of statements they make, statitstics they quote without naming a source.

RULES & REGULATIONS

AdaMakawee : Where were the quote sources about the brothers and sisters in Uganda who travel 10 miles without shoes thru mountains and alligator infested waters to go to their meetings while we have the comforts of cars and air conditioning?

That was their way of telling us that we were all slackers!

To you what was the Watchtower Socity's biggest lie ?

by The Almighty Homer in

yes, what was the biggest lie that you can think of, that persuaded you to realize that they were not who they said they were ?.

for myself it would have to be the year they picked as the destruction of ancient jerusalem 607 bc.. i have an assumption this was done purposely to coincide correctly with making 1914 an a important pivotal date.

in human history, which by all factual evidence it was not.. unassuming and deceiving manipulation for self marketing purposes.

RULES & REGULATIONS

The biggest lie..................................That a bunch of old white men who live in New York represent themselves as the ''faithful an discreet slave.'' They use a ''parable'' to fool everyone into thinking that God chose them in which all members cannot question their authority,beliefs,doctrines,and practices.

Dec. 15th WT - WT Society REALLY Minimizes Earning a Decent Living

by flipper in

jw
friends

it's ridiculous.

i saw this so much in my 44 years in the jehovah's witness cult.

whether it was elders, pioneers, or other people in the cult criticizing others for working too much at their employment or missing some service or meetings due to employment.

RULES & REGULATIONS

flipper

Our Kingdom Hall had numerous talks on how missing meetings due to working overtime and working second shift were due to brothers not being spiritual enough. We were told to look for new work even if it meant lower wages. The brothers who missed meetings due to working on meeting nights were never called to say a prayer for the congregation. Also,no book studies were ever held at a brothers house who was working on meeting nights.

We had a brother who never graduated high school (who worked as a welder working second shift making over $30 hour)who was told numerous times to seek new employment because he missed too many meetings. He never listened to them. Where was he going to get a job making $30 hour with no high school education?

My brother quit his job at a grocery store working long hours because he was hounded by the elders. We also had a brother who worked in concrete construction quit his job because he worked too many hours and missed too many meetings. After he quit his job,he was unemployed for over 1 year. His wife went back to work to help the household.
