Next FDS Stunt?

by sweet pea in

shopoholic is of the opinion that friday's dc talk about obeying/following the faithful and (not so) discreet slave no matter what, is indicative of some dramatic stunt the fds are about to pull.

.

any suggestions as to what this might be?

They need to replace the batteries in their flashlights to get some 'new light' otherwise they are and always been in the dark

JWS and Ex JWS....Is the Mark of the Beast taught in the Hall?

by A-Team in

a few jws were stunned when i pointed out revelation 13 to them, they said they have never heard such a thing about the mark of teh beast or it's effects.

im beginning to wonder if its even taught in the hall.

icyestrm

If one believes in 'god' and the Bible is not some fairy tale book of lies, then 'the mark of the beast' is something to be concerned about.

If someone here got a mole in Crooklyn, its not that hard to find out what they are doing next well in advance. I wonder what is next to be sold?

You Need To Give Credit To The Society For Your Education

by The wanderer in

you need to give credit to the society for your education.the watchtower and awake magazines have been helping individuals receive a g.e.d .

or high school diploma.

where did you learn the art of public speaking?

icyestrm

I'm not the typical JW. I finished all of my higher education before being contacted by the JWs maybe thats why I get shunned for being *smart*

I don't feel angry or resentful, do you?

by Orgull in

i'm new here (my first post yesterday: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/138721/1.ashx) and i've noticed only one thing that i don't have in common with a few people here.. i'm breaking free of my beliefs after more than thirty years and i feel great.

i feel calm, free and in control.. i feel no anger, resentment or hate towards my so-called brothers and sisters or towards the fds or the organization.

i don't see the point, it doesn't help me any.

The best is to just move on because one can choose to dwell on the past or work at a better, brighter future

Former Jehovahs WitnessAre Hypocrites

former jehovahs witnessare hypocritesit amazes me how these people who once donned three-piece suits .

with book, bag and bible in hand are now singing the blues.

these former jehovahs witnesses, who would annoy a man and his.

icyestrm

The problem with this 'worldly' man's statement is that he never was a JW and doesn't realize what many went through. If it was a former JW that said that, the reaction will be different because people would see that person had lived this false lie and understood the things that went on.

What is the Society's stand on illegal immigrants?

by cruzanheart in

i've been away long enough (thank god) that i don't know what the party line is anymore about this.

when i was "in" i studied with a nice woman from venezuela and, when my mom found out she was in the country illegally, she stopped the study and told yomaira that we couldn't study with her until she got her immigration status cleared up.

this was back in the late 1970's.. however, i spoke with a jw friend this past weekend and it was taken for granted that a family member's caregivers -- who are witnesses in good standing going to the spanish congregation -- are not here legally.

icyestrm

I don't know how to quote here but: 'Despite a federal law that requires local governments to cooperate with Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency, many large urban cities (and some small) have adopted so-called "sanctuary policies." Generally, sanctuary policies instruct city employees not to notify the federal government of the presence of illegal aliens living in their communities. The policies also end the distinction between legal and illegal immigration -- so illegal aliens often benefit from city services too.' Caesar's Law is convoluted in the US when local governments circumvent federal laws for their own gain. Nobody knows where the US government stands on those that come to the country illegally. Are they securing the borders or are they granting amnesty? They are sending mix signals especially President George Bush. Its not just JWs who harbor illegals, other religious organizations do the same.

The Mark of the Beast.....

by A-Team in

the real id act, to go into effect may 12, 2008 or december 2009.

starting three years from now, if you live or work in the united states, you'll need a federally approved id card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect social security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service.

practically speaking, your driver's license likely will have to be reissued to meet federal standards.

Its good we have differing opinions on this subject. The microchips are similiar to a grain of rice. There will be no second guessing once the edict is passed to implant or be beheaded. The time of it happening is still up to debate, whether it will be during our lifetime or our children's.
