  The Anti-Type of ancient Israel! Can we learn who?

  by wannabe in

  2. bible

  {matthew 25:41} {revelation 20:7-10}.

  "{genesis 28:10-14 asv} three times jehovah made the same promise, so we can be absolutely certain those promises will be carried out to the letter, because the god who made those promises himself, because there was no one greater than he, stepped in with an oath, and put his own guarantee on them as paul will now explain:.

  18 so god has given both his promise and his oath.

  this post was motivated by another thread, namely.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/188552/1/onereason-for-a-gentleman-fader-to-stay-reasonably-associated.

  this thread makes reference to the fact that a 40 something brother has a real chance with twenty-something and less sisters.

  Interesting. I don't think that age differences in of itself makes any more difference then 2 people from different cultures who try to make a marriage work.

  However, the reason why JW's do this is what I was commenting on. There are plenty of sisters who choose a marriage mate based on the lies the GB teaches, and as a result, it is my anecdotal observation that a disproportionate amount of sisters have chosen someone older then them if the brother was an elder, MS, etc.

  I think its appropriate to scrutinize many marriages in the borg. I don't think that age should be a major criteria. Having said that, age, like culture, does weigh on compatability and that is why its good to be sober about that reality for marriage.

  Having said that, age is relative and life is short. Enjoy!

  Sinis, the big difference there is that Brad Pitt isn't a JW.

  And he's rich.

  And he's Brad Pitt.

  Otherwise, great analogy....

  But I don't believe that the bible is gods word. So this means nothing to me. Sorry.

  there is no honourable way of leaving.

  So true, and that is by design. It is a built in mechanism to ensure that anyone who leaves is always viewed as a deluded, selfish, Satan worshiping moron. It builds fear into the congregation, and tears you down as well.

  The GB is insidious.

  *sigh*

  First of all, this does happen a lot. There are a lot of young sisters who want to hitch their wagons to an elder star and think of it as love. I can't help but think of my marriage to my ex. We both married each other WAY TO FREAKING YOUNG and we based that on the goals we thought we wanted at 17. And bigger then damn it, we actually reached them.

  Which killed our marriage.

  Ever notice that the best marriages in the borg are had by irregular/inactive ones? Because they actually devote their times to their families instead of the borg.

  Sadly, there are a lot of deluded sisters who think that a happy marriage results from getting a borg approved brother, instead of doing it the old fashioned way, falling in love with someone who loves you and who gets along with you and likes the same things you do.

  In this, the GB is absolutely culpable for the many bad marriages that exist among JW's.
