  God answers JW prayers about trivialities while ignoring the abuse of little children

  by jambon1 in

  i've heard many experiences about how jehovah answers the prayers of jw's - convention items about pioneers gas bills, car repairs, job opportunities.

  now, if this is true, you are actually stating that god has directly intervened in your life.

  taken action on your behalf.

  kingdom hall south dakota live stream.....i found this video on youtube.com.

  it reminds me of my old kingdom hall where hardly anyone is sitting in the front rows and doesn't seem like they have a large membership.most kingdom halls sit around 200 people at the most and seem to have a hard time filling the seats.. my old congregation had around 45 members when i left 4 years ago.we always seemed to have a hard time meeting the monthly expenses.some months,i was told that some elders would contribute extra money so the congregation would not be in the negative for the month.. how many members did your congregation have while you were still attending and did meet its expenses for the month?.

  blondie’s comments you will not hear at the february 19, 2017 wt study (december 2016) (throw anxiety jehovah).

  14 Some anxiety may be caused by a person’s past actions or failings. He may be plagued with guilt about something he did in the past, even many years ago. At times, King David felt that his ‘errors loomed over his head.’ He admitted: “My anguished heart makes me groan aloud.” (Ps. 38:3, 4, 8, 18) In that situation, what was the wise thing for David to do? What did he do? He trusted in Jehovah’s mercy and forgiveness. With conviction he said: “Happy is the one whose transgression is pardoned.”—Read Psalm 32:1-3, 5.

  BLONDIE'S COMMENT
  But what about the other repentant adulterers and murderers in the nation of Israel? Did God show them mercy and forgiveness? Why do we not read of any ordinary Israelites not being shown mercy?

  
  

  Great comment from Blondie! God seems to forgive grave sins but somehow kills ordinary citizens for petty sins. Here are a few examples I found on COMMONSENSEATHEISM.COM

  
  

  God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet.
  In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and pay off the debt.

  God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping other gods.
  In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife, children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.

  God incinerates 51 men to make a point.
  In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven to prove he is God.

  God kills a man for not impregnating his brother’s widow.
  In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother’s widow.

  ''i liked it better 2000 years when i preached in synagogues,in the fields,by the sea,in the temples,on mountaintops and valleys.now,i've been reduced to making small talk and handing out leaflets to our summer convention titled,''remain loyal to jehovah.''.

  ''this stupid convention is 80 miles away,3 full days in the middle of summer,bagging your own lunch,paying for hotel and food,and ''making sure you do not reserve seats.''.

  Dear Brothers:

  This fine 3.5 hour has been reported to cause excessive daytime sleepiness. Brothers have fallen asleep without warning, anywhere, anytime. For example, you may suddenly nod off while listening to our brothers give monotone talks. You may sleep for a few minutes or up to a half-hour before awakening and feeling refreshed, but eventually you may fall asleep again.
  

  You also may experience decreased alertness throughout the day. Excessive daytime sleepiness usually is the first symptom to appear and is often the most troublesome, making it difficult for you to concentrate and fully function.

  We have a coffee station and wet towels for those who may need to wake up and get their brain back in working order.Please use only one towel per person!

  
  

  YOUR BROTHERS

  WATCHTOWER MAGAZINE APRIL 2017:

  
  There is no way to undo a dedication vow, taking back what we promised God. If a person tires of serving Jehovah or of living a Christian way of life, he cannot claim that he was never really dedicated and that his baptism was invalid. * To all intents and purposes, he presented himself as one who was wholly dedicated to God. He will be accountable before Jehovah and the congregation for any serious sins that he may commit. (Rom. 14:12)

  This whole article is based on a Strawman argument. None of us EVER dedicated our lives to a corporation. We certainly never agreed to support ungodly behavior.

  Look how they twist Romans 14:12! We all dedicated ourselves to Jehovah and not to an organization.With the new baptismal question,Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?,they make you accountable to the Watchtower Society!

  SNEEKY BASTARDS!
