  because following men at hq is exactly what they do!.

  Today's Text - You MUST Love Jehovah!

  thursday, september 1. you must love jehovah your god.—matt.

  22:37.. if you have a loving relationship with jehovah, you will be a ‘doer of the word, not a hearer only.’ (jas.

  1:22-25) a “doer” has faith that produces such works as zealous preaching activity and participation in christian meetings.

  YOU MUST HAVE LACKED FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Just remember, in WATCHTOWERLAND, the individual is always to blame. You either lacked faith, ran ahead of the organization, didn't trust in Jehovah enough, had selfish intentions, were blinded by Satan, had unclean 'private sins' , didn't pray hard and long enough, didn't go out in service enough, didn't answer at the meeting enough, grieved Jehovah's Holy Spirit, weren't reaching out enough, were not keeping up with Jehovah's progressive chariot, read your own personal interpretations into prophecy, didn't respect the authority of the Elders, didn't 'wait of Jehovah' and the list goes on and on and on! Jehovah, Jesus Christ, the invisible angels and his corporate representatives, the GOVERNING BODY OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (tm) never take responsibility for anything......................but you must love Jehovah in spite of the evidence!

  Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur?

  by shadow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  evolution paints human ancestors covered with fur.

  fur has several benefits as stated by britannica "the pelts of fur-bearing animals are called true furs when they consist of two elements: a dense undercoat, called ground hair, and longer hairs, extending beyond that layer, called guard hair.

  the principal function of ground hair is to maintain the animal’s body temperature; that of guard hair is to protect the underlying fur and skin and to shed rain or snow.".

  "You heard that it was said: 'You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those who persecute you, so that you may prove yourselves sons of your Father who is in the heavens, since he makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good and makes it rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those loving you, what reward do you have? Are not also the tax collectors doing the same thing? And if you greet your brothers only, what extraordinary thing are you doing? Are not also the people of the nations doing the same thing? You must accordingly be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Jesus Christ quoted from Matthew 5:43-48 NWT Revised

  As you know, Jehovah's Witnesses do not practice the 'Love of the Christ', but are mired in legalistic, paternalist practices that were forced on Christians by the Apostle Paul and his myopic interpretation of Christian doctrine. It is a sad commentary on the human condition and religion in general, when a human being chooses by reason of his practicing a certain religious dogma, to treat another human being as less than human and of no intrinsic value. What your friend did is rude, disrespectful and lacks common decency.

  Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.

  the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.

  surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

  When Jehovah's Witnesses start having 'religious' music videos like this, I might start tuning in to JW.Org broadcasting.

  Can you prove that our entire universe and existence is not a computer simulation?

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. social
  2. current

  if you were a computer programmer and you were to create a simulated automated world, that would constantly evolve and self run after initial designs.

  first you would have to code the rules, laws, and core elements of this world.

  while this is being coded, the program is not run yet, so none of it exists.

  TRON and TRON LEGACY were fantasy inspired movies made for entertainment. You do know that they were not documentaries?
