Need a little advice on this

by hambeak in

the owners of my business cannot meet payroll and have not paid a lot of bills.. the owner of the place i used to manage wants me back at twice the salary i make now but doesn't want jake there.

i accepted and jake is very upset.

he wants me to look for something we can both work together and i really don't want to.

Hi hambeak

What a dilemma you are in.

IMHO you are being realistic and responsible

Christian Pasciviscm Leads to Eternal Life?

by AK - Jeff in

jw

on another thread a poster suggested that jw's inherently are 'christian' due to restraint in the matter of not killing each other in warfare.. i personally view this as ludricous, as such non-violence cannot of itself mark christians any more than could the absence of chocolate in a hot beverage mark it as coffee without question.

it is a riduculous assumption that leads to false acceptance of 'facts' that are not.. jeff .

Hi Jeff

The WTS like to draw attention to the fact that their neutrality and non participation in war is an identifying mark of true chrisitanity after all they view themselves as representatives of gods government. But look at the violence and oppression they heap on their adherents.

Personally I would like to leave all matters of war to elected governments and then in that way we are at liberty to make a protest to our governments if we don't agree with what they are doing.

Beliefs and sacred things are separate inmho.

Think I'm a little off point here but do you understand what I mean.

3. Never panic when seeing Witnesses

anewme, no 3 is a good one for me. There are lots of witnesses living in my area and at present I tend to avoid going to places where i know the witnesses will be at any given time of the day.

So no witness dominated thinking/restrictions on my going about my daily life .

Do you know how many faithful kind-hearted and intelligent people have spent their lives in anticipation of such events which did NOT happen? They could have had a more meaninful, full and rich existence, but, they squandered it on false opinion and exaggerated sales pitches.

Worship God in your mind where he actually lives. Worship God in your heart where he can be felt. But, don't waste your actual moments of existence fretting over an arrival that has been "any minute now" for TWO THOUSAND YEARS!!

Terry

For once i agree with you 100%
