  Are You Paul or are you Saul?

  this was the same man at different times in his life yet he changed his name because he completely changed his ideals and goals too.

  both were extremely zealous, both thought they were doing gods work, both thought they were working for the greater good.. acts 8:3 (new international version)3but saul began to destroy the church.

  going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.. soul thought gods work was to destroy the christians but paul.... acts 20: 19i served the lord with great humility and with tears, although i was severely tested by the plots of the jews.

  Reniaa you really can't even imagine how much help you give this forum. Please don't ever leave! Keep "fighting the good fight".

  You make it so much easier for lurkers to see exactly what it means to be inside of a cult/high control system.

  For the hundred if not thousands that come on here to get what there're not getting at the Hall, compassion, patience, a listening ear without feeling judged, looked at with suspicion, feeling not worthy, feeling that their not the only ones with these aching doubts, you in all your self rightous glory remind them of what they want to free themselves of. And for that we all thank you!!!

  You do for us what we can't even get close to doing. You are living proof, in the flesh, example of what being in this Watchtower envoironment does to someones mind.

  Sometimes I trully can't believe that I've been in this Orginization for over 30 years.

  Listening to you hurts my heart dearly, only because it reminds me of what I once was. It really is painful for me to remember i was like this.

  You wouldn't know what being a true Christian means even is Christ himself would come down and hung you on a cross/stake.

  I only pray that God one day when you heart is ready, will help you see.

  EMBRACE THE HYPROCRISY

  2. friends

  i respect those that have made up their mind, and left jw's and started a new life.

  i have thought long and hard about this, and read hundreds of your posts.. for now, i am going to stay in, and try to little by little help my family and friends get out.

  this could be a complete wimp-out, spineless move on my part, or it could be that i have the guts and the tenacity to really help people to get free while i am still in.

  Hey Reniaa, what exactly do you mean by:

  "You say you would make them free of the the Jws but offer them no alternate faith in God".

  Can you please explain?

  It's funny when you get apologists on here saying "it's not about the money". But this is a perfect example of when financial pressure is put on the "org" it does what it needs to do to survive financially. Screw the poor brothers lets cut our losses and get out. Holy spirit be damned!!!!

  And we sometimes think we have issues here... OH JEHOVAH HOW MUCH LONGER UNTIL YOU'RE VINDICATED. HOW SAD. Remembering our brothers in Zimbabwe. . . In a meeting where Brother Losch of the governing body was fielding questions from the friends gathered. I asked about Zimbabwe and if we've stopped building Kingdom Halls there. I mentioned that I read Zimbabwe printed a 50 billion dollar note and that we've stopped building Halls. He confirmed that we had to stop. He said, 'we put $5,000 in a bank in the morning and by night it's worth 50 cents!" He said the friends are existing on one meal a day, sometimes less. They are starving. The one meal is just sustenance. Neighboring brothers are trucking in grain as fast as they can. Subject: Zimbabwe Keep scrolling....... Greetings, We received this news letter from a brother in the Zimbabwe Bethel:Hi to you all, Zimbabwe is going through a very difficult time. We have just heard that the branch has had to release 24 brothers from Bethel . That will bring the Bethel family down to about 60 odd. Some will go into the special pioneer work and others back to supporting a local congregation. That is seven married couples and ten single brothers. Others may be asked to leave if the economic situation does not improve. The branch has also had to cut back on a large number of special pioneers. So far this does not include me....!!! Additionally the whole Kingdom Hall building programme has stopped and all construction brothers sent home. So far the programme has built about 450 new Kingdom Halls for about 530 congregations under this assistance to&NB sp;countries with limited resources programme. The reason for all this is the deplorable economic situation that the country and branch has to work under. Our inflation is so high that by the time money comes in to the country, goes through the banking System and goes out to be used it has lost its value. At present US $1.00 is sitting at Z$100 billion. It will be worse this afternoon..!! So you may think, for example, that you are going to receive the equivalent of US$10. By the time you actually get it the value has dropped to a few cents. We can only draw Z$100 billion a day in cash if the banks have cash. Cheques and swipe cards are limited. We have not had bread in months. Fuel is scarcely available but only in foreign money. No mealie meal, th e basic food item for the locals, no sugar, flour, salt, cooking oil, etc. Electricity and water are often off for long periods. Some areas for months and months. So it is all very trying. The whole country is on its knees and the politicians do nothing to help. But then this is Satan's system. On the positive side. We had our Kingdom Hall dedicated on Saturday. 239 came from the two congregations that will use it. One English and one Shona. The Hall itself was a major effort. The site is on clay soil and so we had to go down with eleven reinforced concrete pillars about three metres. It took as long to build our Hall as it took the brothers to build our new Assembly Hall. 15 months.....!! Just had a new peak of over 33,000 which is very encouraging as about five million have left the country for greener pastures in Europe, America , Australia and South Africa due to the problems here.. So a peak in publishers is welcome news. Just came back from doing some rural witnessing today. We have not been out to our calls in the rural area of our territory due to the political intimidations that have been going on with the elections. Many brothers have had a very difficult time and some loosing everything. Typica l of Satan. The brothers warned us not to go out there. But today it was quiet and we were very well received. The Truth is still good here. Sadly we may have to leave before the year is out as we can no longer manage economically and medically. The three of us will move to England . The Medical Aid Societies, we have been relying on to assist with medical expenses, have collapsed. Along with most other institutions. It has been so sad to see such a beautiful country go down the drain......but then the whole world will be following suit. But we are well. Amali a had a cold and cough but now coming out of that. So keep all the brothers here in your prayers, they need them. We will continue to fight the fine fight. Your faithfulness is such an encouragement to us

  Subject: Bethel Bus Groups Visiting US Holocaust

  Shooting at US Holocaust Large Group of Jehovah's Witnesses from Mexico Touring at the Time After attending a spiritually encouraging and upbuilding International Convention in San Diego CA a group of Delegates from Mexico found themselves in the middle of a horrible incident Tuesday while touring the US Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. Over 100 Jehovah's Witnesses from Mexico were touring the US Holocaust when a armed gunman stormed the Holocaust museum killing a guard. Like Satan, the ruler of the world, the gunman was full of hate. The Holocaust Museum documents the prejudice and hatred of Satans world; that point was then driven home by the shooting and killing of a guard literally before their very eyes. Not something peace loving people should ever have to witness and soon will never have to experience again as God's kingdom takes over earths' affairs. Soon after the incident everyone in both bus groups were back in the caring hands of their BCT Tour Guides and being comforted by their loving fellow travelers and brothers and sisters. Upon arrival back at their hotel some Elders from the US Branch were their giving scriptural comfort and encouragement, to everyone in the group, into the late hours of the night. One family was given special attention by the Bethel Elders because as a result of their son witnessing such a traumatic event he suffered an asthmatic attack and was taken to the hospital for treatment. The next morning, tired yet determined, everyone was back on the bus looking forward to visiting Bethel and were warmly welcomed as they arrived at the various facilities to enjoy their tours. It's the love, support, and hospitality of the Brothers that they will never forget. As they continue their trip of the World Headquarters and US Branch of Jehovah's Witnesses in NY their hearts are being warmed by the promise from their God Jehovah found at Rev 21: 3 and 4: With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." The BCT Crew and Staff (especially those in NYC) expressed how, as the enemy tried to divide, scatter, scare, and confuse the group all he actually achieved was them drawing closer and closer to Jehovah and to each other. BCT is looking forward to providing more details about this incident as time goes but for now we knew you dear friends would want to know that all the brothers and sisters, from Mexico, touring the DC Holocaust during that demon inspired incident are ALL doing fine as they rely on Jehovah their God and each other. How ironic: Americans are warned that it's not safe to travel in Mexico! Bethel Coach Tours has been offering trips to NY Bethel since 1989 and consider it a privilege to assist the finest people on earth with their travel plans to visit and tour Bethel facilities worldwide.
