  Local Needs tonight

  by metaspy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here is something i thought was a bit weird.. tonights local needs was about depression.

  not so much in how we can help those with depression, but about getting over it.. the brother used the scriptures about elijah and the widow to show who was relying on jehovah.. he mentioned how the widow was obviously depressed.

  then showed how she should have been like elijah.. as i sat there and listened, i realized his underlying message:.

  Hypocrisy in expectations???

  by metaspy in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  ok, i am not very experienced in the field of females.. recently, my mother and i were talking about courting, and other stuff like that.. a sister recently stopped courting a brother because "he was ready to get married too soon".. i understand rushing into things can get you into trouble.. however, the sister had said (after the first date) "this is the one i want to marry".. so, my question is why the hypocrisy??.

  she was saying he was the one after 1 date; he was - after a month.. she broke it off because he was too quick?!

  this isn't the first time something like this has happened.. i can come up with at least 3 or 4 other relationships where the female has ended it because of the male being too eager.. yet in each circumstance the female was quicker than the male to jump to conclusions.. .

  I have done my part...

  by metaspy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  tonight i feel a bit of a relief.. there is a study in my congregation who has advanced to the point of being an unbaptised publisher.

  after learning all that i have recently, i felt i must warn him of the dangers of his decisions.. so tonight after the meeting, i told him to make sure of everything he is learning.. "do not take things for granted, look them up yourself.

  don't get baptised without proving everything to yourself.. once you are baptised you cant question the teachings of the wts.".

  Bible Reading - Jeremiah 5

  by metaspy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok this is kinda twisted.. a brother in my old hall, used to always complain that he got the 'bad' bible readings.. for instance, he got this weeks reading - it include jer 5:8.. who really wants to say that from the stage?.

  i got thinking, how many times does the wts have us read that verse when we are in jeremiah?.

  out of the 5 times we have read jeremiah in the last 20 years, 3 of those the wts had some poor shmuck of a brother reading 5:8..
