"The end is nigh"

by PopeOfEruke in

just got a message from a relative attending the dc.

this seems to be the big announcement from the convention:

the end is nigh!

Shmoe

OF COURSE "THE END IS NIGH" ! I PRAY THERE IS TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF THESE WORDS FOR ANY & ALL READERS!

Humans seem to have a terrible time really grabbing the Fact that each and every life time is a TINY TINY TINTY fraction in eternity!

God is Eternal. Life is a "test" of spiritual strength in a physical world!

The End is near as soon as you are Conceived because this PHYSICAL body is TINY and the time here is just as SMALL! Simplify your life but do it from a "higher" perspective than being just a talking monkey. See there are limits to doing bad things, but there are absolutley NO LAWS AGAINST NOR NO LIMITS TO DOING GOOD! We just need to learn what the good things really are & learn how to use these good things rather than just being how we are programmed by this modern society / world.

The JW's have abused this "predictionary" hoopla.... The Time is Nigh.... Yeah... 1914, 1915, 1917, 1918, 1922 - 1925, so on & so forth 1975, to present day. WRONG is As WRONG Does. (Evil IS as Evil Does.) THOSE OF GOOD HEART! Know that life has enough stresses without these kind of mind games being thrown at you! Test the Spirit! God IS There for those who seek him and his wisdom!

PEACE!

Woman in doghouse over Jehovah's Witness sign

by roflcopter in

this is slightly amuzing..... http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20060728/od_nm/jehovah_dc_1 .

woman in doghouse over jehovah's witness sign .

london (reuters) - a british woman has been ordered by police to take down a sign on her garden gate which read "our dogs are fed on jehovah's witnesses.

ROTFLOL! Oh.... I do not mean to laugh so hard but for some goofy reason, I found the sign funny. I feel bad for the sign owner having any trouble because of it, but ya gotta admit, it probably worked to keep JW's from pestering them.

It reminds me of something that someone told me years ago when I was under the JW influences in High School. This gentleman stated to me,

" I beleive you are smarter than just becoming a doorbell worshiper."

LOL! I didn't think it was funny then but I giggle now. He was right!

If the sign was on their property and it had been there for that long, who was it really hurting? REALLY!

I've seen people let their 8 - 14 year old daughters wear shirts that say "SLUT" ; "PORN STAR" ; "TRAILOR TRASH", "SLEEPS WELL With OTHERS" let alone the other vulgar & violent statments. Why aren't these people approached for advertising pedophilia. (bunch of sickos)

What about the METH billboards? Those are offensive. (That is what is seen here out our apartment windows. Nothing like waking up in the morning, opening the curtains and seeing someone's big rotting face to greet you. It's Nasty!)

Well, post on! PEACE!

Greetings All!

There are alot of people out there that have no clue where to turn or even where to begin looking for those answers we all individually ask. I'm not here to church bash because I know they serve a purpose but let me explain something; after years of growing up in an abusive JW home, many years & thousands of hours searching & researching other religious organizations world wide as well as not so orgainzed beliefs, I have only found spiritual wisdom and God's TRUE love within myself. There are SO MANY scriptures that clearly advise us as individuals. Organized religions have thwarted individuals' spiritual growth for CENTURIES by controlling and manipulating Historic writings, some of which are in the Bible and others that have been kept away from public eye for what ever reason and or FEAR the "church" leaders have had let alone adding bunches of man made hoopla.

Basicly, NO ONE needs a church or any other orginzation to have a relationship with their family members like a brother, sister, cousin, or even a friend, WHY WOULD YOU NEED ONE TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR FATHER, OUR CREATOR, THE ONE THAT KNOWS ALL? THOSE WHO SEEK SHALL FIND! I sought with all my heart to know God and be a true servant. I pray and over time, I am learning more than any human could ever teach me. GOD BLESSES ALL WHO SEEK HIM IN LOVE AND TRUTH but I'm not saying it's easy. Scripture even states that the rightous path is the least traveled. There is not and there never has been a life without problems, but it is the presence of problems and the way we choose to handle them that determines the QUALITY of individual's life. LIFE is a TINY fraction in eternity. Why would one limit learning in a man made / controlled "church" when there is the ideal place known as the Whole World which was created by God? The world is my Church! I believe & pray to God no matter where I am and I love it!

No offence is ment to anyone by this posting.

PEACE TO YOU ALL!
