  (Not)Preaching advice

  by paradisebeauty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having recently had an "awakening" - not from reading awake .... i realize i can not preach doctrines i do not believe anymore .

  but i do not want the elders to start following my every move, because i also have plans to check other christian denominations.. so i am thinking, should i chat for an hour or two with an old visit and report the hours, should i tell the elders i have some doubts and i do not want to preach for now or should i just stop reporting and avoid the elders attempts to talk to me?

  what do you think is the best sollution to get away with this?

  Paradise I don't see anything wrong with having a chat with an old return visit and counting the time.

  this has nothing to do with my facebook endeavors.

  when the elders visited us last week, they also discussed my father.

  my mother called them about him.

  I agree with Giordano he's insane. He needs professional help.

  You know something cookie I have killed a lot of animals but only out of self preservation or because I needed food. I never enjoyed it. The idea of going after a stray dog with a bat or kicking a pregnant cat is insane,

  Cookie in the Canadian Arctic we kill animals only if we have to. For example polar bears we shoot with red dye first when we see them. That way we know if a bear shows up repetitively with the red dye he's probably hunting us instead of just passing through.

  Sorry if I offended any vegans out there.

  I would be very careful dealing with anyone who beats innocent animals. Make sure that he doesn't have access to firearms. He's got a lot of pent up rage.

  I'll bet if you asked JW women that question the majority of them would answer as rebel18 and Finkelstein answered and mean it! LOL

  I think a lot of the fear contained in JW's forecast's in the 70's and 80's were linked to the cold war and the fear of a thermonuclear catastrophe. It seemed like the end was near and the WTBTS played into that fear so well.

  Do you think you should have the right to decline business on Personal or Religious grounds?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  should individual businesses have the right to pick and chose who they serve?

  if a muslim decides he won't bake the cake of a radical zionist that says "reclaim the temple in jerusalem" should the government be allowed to punish the muslim baker?

  maybe you can help me understand the issues more clearly because were becoming hyper-sensitive and soon your going to need a handbook what's the proper thing to say.

  Do I have the right to refuse business on personal or religious reasons? HMMMM I think so! As you go broke because you don't have enough customers don't come looking to tax payers for assistance.

  Went to a Catholic Funeral Today

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it was for a dear friend of the family that i have known all my life.now, bear in mind that i was born and raised jw, so my experience with catholic ceremonies can be counted on three fingers, a wedding, a "regular" mass, and this funeral mass.once they got down to the actual speaking about the deceased, i felt emotionally involved, but prior to that, i was watching and had questions about aspects of the services (these i have seen in common for all three times i have been in an rc church):why the "sing-song" voice during the prayers?

  does god hear it better if you sound all spooky tenor?i observe that every time a reading from one of the gospels takes place, it is preceded by a big musical number:"alleluiah!

  alleluiah"( "and nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww, heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's jesus!".

  What are JW funerals like? Not respectful?
  

  No I don't think they are.

  They are a recruitment drives.

  I have been to many including some of my immediate family.

  When I went to my Father in law's Catholic funeral,his was about the celebration of his life.

  I am certainly not advocating for the Catholic Church.
