Sister Pioneer and Her 10 Year Secret of Porneia

by bluesapphire in

friends

when i was studying, the sister who studied with me was a pioneer and as "righteous-overmuch" as they come!

i wasn't even baptized and she was already pressuring me to pioneer since i didn't work.

nevermind that i had three little girls all under 4!!!.

As the saying goes, "Every dog get's it's day". She may think she's getting away with she's doing but she's only fooling herself. I wouldn't worry about her life.

i just purchased the 2006 annual report for the australian watchtower bible and tract society.

below are the highlights.

most incredible is that donations dropped by almost 50%, from 15 million dollars to only 10 million dollars.

Why worry? Think of the mass of "real estate" that is left to the society.

If SATAN could offer you something desireable, would you accept it?

by JH in

jw
friends

if it was possible for satan to offer you something desireable, knowing that god wouldn't approve of it, would you accept it anyways.. now, if you don't believe in god, you won't believe in satan either so this question doesn't apply to you..

"You can dance with the devil but you can't lead." 1 John 2:16, "...everything in the world - the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one's means of life - does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world."

Gun control logic

by Gregor in

the v tech shooter bought his guns legally.

gun control laws don't stop this kind of determined killer anywhere in the world.

the defenseless victims couldn't carry a gun legally on campus if they had one.

Repeat; "People kill people not guns".

Looking for a scripture...

by Tuesday in

any help would be fantastic.

the scripture is one that is lik luke 21:8 saying beware of those saying the end is near.

however i'm fairly sure it's in one of the books of timothy.

Since no man knows the day an hour of the end according to the account in Matthew 24, the scripture that I sent to the org for them to mention dates is in 1 Corth 4:6 which says, "Do not go beyond the things that are written," Matthew 24 gives no dates., signs yes, but no dates.

Also at Galations 1:6-9 it talks about good news "beyond' was it declared it should be considered accursed. I hope this helps. By the way, the org. never responded to my 22 page letter.

Duke Vindicates Jehovah's Ways

by Justitia Themis in

i found this on the "e-watchman exposed" db.

the post speaks for (or against) itself.

the duke case is a tragedy, but is certainly does not argue for the "two-witness" rule.

Can you cite some examples of unfairness? I give credit where credit is due, I apply this to organizations & individuals.

Did Being In The Organization Produce Anything Good?

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

did being in the organization produce anything good?everyone has his or her perspective and viewpoint about the watchtower society.. true, most of us on this board know the history and story behind the watchtower.

however, is there anything that you learned from your jehovahs witness past that .

you appreciate even today?.

I lived during some of the exciting years. Beginning in the late forties and fifties it was action filled. When I did street work as a kid I was called a communist. The organization battled against the C.C. They battled for the right to preach publicly in courts. As influential as the C.C was, the witnesses won their case to publicly preach. Not saluting the flag was interesting. This is but a few of other happenings that were exciting, hey folks, the times were much different. Witnesses of today can't equate to such experiences.

I've extracted the good out of such experiences and applied them to my personal life. I've done good for myself.
