Name Some JW "Double Standards"

by minimus in

here's one: you can't give blood but you can take a blood fraction (which someone else has to give).

Witnesses are taught that the Bible is God's letter to the anointed, but the "other sheep" or great crowd are expected to keep its laws and are held accountable to it but not share in its total reward as the anointed do as sons.

I feel for you onthewayout, tough course and tread lightly. Not easy leaving without leaving everything. My ex left and I can honestly say it didn't bother me except the divorce from the standpoint of hurting Jah, He didn't deserve to have His name dragged through the mud. My case was easier from the standpiont I didn't care if she left, nothing left there but I hope it all works out for you. Patience is a virtue,

Percentage of men who don't wash hands after pooing

by *jeremiah* in

i just left my work desk to go to the rest room.

this guy came out of the stall and clearly just finished his business and didn't wash his hands.

i see this a lot.

I think it is because of construction design and many people would get hurt with a door opening out instead of in, I agree though, or at least the trash can should be next to the door to open it with a piece of paper then hold with foot then insert into can, if you see paper on the restroom floor it may have been me, but my hands are clean and you can shake it without fear of disease.

Guys, What is intimidating about women?

by Wendy_Warden in

okay, so a guy friend told me i was intimidating.

.

wendy.

avidbiblereader

I think some men are intimidated by pretty, sexy, gorgeous bodied woman, rich, powerful in business or successful. To me I think we are all the same, I don't really fear people. I am no better than they are nor any less, we are the same and I treat them as such, with respect.

It is a high percentage, I was at a Hooters one time and the COOK came out without washing his hands and I told my wife we are leaving and asked to see the manager. I told her that her cook just took a sh$t and didn't wash his hands and he was gross. She took his side and said he probably washed his hands in the kitchen and I said how do I know, how many doors has he touched and infected and the kitchen is not the place to wash your hands after taking a sh$t. This is why I never touch a door in a public restroom without a piece of paper or kick it open. It is gross and far more rampant than one would consider.

PS Never eat the peanuts or snacks laid out at bars or clubs,

Who is Jesus

by soulfinder in

hey everyone, i'm new here and i would really like to discuss your views on who jesus is.. please feel free to list any scripture, and i will do the same.. here are a few scriptures that may help:.

1. in the book of isaiah 7:14 jehovah prophesied that there would be a child born of a virgin, and that his name would be immanuel, which means god with us.. 14 therefore the lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him immanuel (which means god with us).. 2. in the book of john, jesus also encourages us to pray to him by saying "if you ask anything in my name, i will do it.".

john 14:14. if you askanything in my name, i will do it.. 3. here are a few instances of people worshipping jesus:.

Welcome soulfinder and I hope you find forum informative and enjoyable to speak your thoughts and feeling from your heart. Jesus is Lord and the most underrated person in the Org, they focus too much on self and works, they serve a God who cannot be satisfied and over look our Lord and Master, He is the key figure to our salvation, our exemplar, our Mediator, our King, our Ransomer, our Judge, our High Priest, he is God's mean of reconciliation.

THE PREACHING WORK PROVES IT IS THE TRUTH

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

the preaching work proves it is the truth.

my best friend is now out of the organization.

however, he still defends.

avidbiblereader

That is what you would expect from a man made point of view, they try to find something that makes them unique but interesting Jesus said nothing about preaching to identify his true followers he said in John 13:34,35

34 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. 35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”

It is love not preaching that identifies one as a true follower and I believe there is many stories here and more to come that would eliminate there ability to lay claim they are truly loving to either family, to each other or others who disagree with them.
