  "Let every person be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God. Therefore, whoever opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it will bring judgment against themselves. For those rulers are an object of fear, not to the good deed, but to the bad. Do you want to be free of fear of the authority? Keep doing good and you will have praise from it; for it is God's minister to you for your good. But if you are doing what is bad, be in fear, for it is not without purpose that it bears the sword. It is God's minister, an avenger to express wrath against one practicing what is bad." - Romans 13:1-4 RNWT

  So the JW.ORG is the only one who has love in all the inhabited earth.

  
  Try telling that to the 18,479,257 Seventh Day Adventists who are in every land around the world.

  Your being childish. Think about it, the light was prophesied to get brighter and brighter in the time of the end.

  Where is that prophecy found in the Bible? Chapter and verse please.

  Even Now, You Haunt Me...

  by Garrett in

  2. friends

  even after leaving the organization, it still lurks in the background like a shadow.. as some of you know, i met a wonderful girl a while ago (which i'm going to need your help with).

  she is a catholic and i am open and very respectful of her beliefs.

  however, i know there will be a time where i will have to tell her that i once was a witness... and to be honest, i'm quite scared of that.. i don't want things to be ruined between us because of a disgusting cult that i was in.

  It went terrible for me. She married someone else and the funny thing was that he wasn't even Catholic.

  Are single sisters happier?

  this question is for the ladies out there, but if you are a man and you'd like to share your thoughts on the following topic you are welcomed to do so.

  given the wt society's view on women, did any of you ladies gave up on the idea of getting married "in the truth".

  in such case, did you sometimes feel that you were missing out?

  "What's appealing to me is not the JW's as a group, but rather their devotion to God. Most of these people are very disciplined and virtuous. I wish I could display such qualities." - Esmeralda001

  First off, you must remove your 'rose colored' glasses. Many Jehovah's Witnesses are indeed good and decent people. However, when you scratch beneath the surface of most of them, their lives are mostly an act. They are devoted to and living a 'system' known as the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses. They are more interested in 'looking good' than being 'good'. Jehovah's Witnesses have just as many personal problems as 'worldly' people but they are just better at hiding them and keeping them away from the scrutiny of others. You seem rather young. My advice to you would be to work on yourself first before you even entertain thoughts of marriage. If you want to be 'disciplined and virtuous' than take it upon yourself to act in such a manner in all your dealings with people. You are a whole and decent person right now and you don't need a set of religious rules to tell you how to be a good human being.
