  So is your wife going to start posting, too?

  Will you be setting up an account for her?

  Seems everyone is jumping on the bandwagon in two's these days.

  Door of this ark is still open, I guess.

  What will be the reaction in the congregation when...

  by JH in

  we have many older brothers and sisters in our congregation, and surely the same in many congregations all around the world.. what will be the reaction in the congregations when all these older ones, who were sure they wouldn't die before the end, pass away and leave a vacuum in the congregation.. i don't wish these older brothers and sisters harm, but eventually they will be too old to follow and they will die away.. it won't be the same anymore, when they see these old pillars who stood so faithfully crumble due to old age.. .

  Actually a variation of this question that I have, what happens when all the first generation witnesses pass away, when all that's left is the second and third generation witnesses who were never as gung ho as their parents who came in of their own valition. Maybe the orginization will become alot more leanient.

  Could this have anything to do with generational curses? There is some scripture that says those who do not keep God's laws will be cursed to the third and fourth generations.

  Being caught up in a delusion is certainly a curse.

  What happens to break the generational curse?

  Could this be any indication that wts will not exist after the fourth generation?

  What would you do if your bank locked its doors?

  now that most of the major news sources are saying that the usa is already in a recession - will there be a run on the banks like there was in the uk in the fall?

  i know that the government insists that will never happen because they insure your funds up to a specific amount but so far already two banks have reduced the amount of money that you can withdraw from your account.

  they say its because of increased theft from their atm machines but who's really willing to buy that excuse?

  Left to right, groups of words followed by a period (.) make a sentence. Now, go back and read the article. Then read about 1913 and how the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Read your history about Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, Lincoln, etc, and their thoughts on turning over Banking to a private entity such as the Federal Reserve.

  Brother Apostate...I know your identity. You are my 7th grade English teacher coming back to haunt me.

  OK. I confess. I borrowed the Cleft Notes from 5go.

  Now, please tell me....what are we going to do when the money goes pffft ???

  there is quite large community of them in this area.

  the more you get to know them or deal with them the less you like them.

  what a strange and ugly culture.

  How is this not a racist comment? I mean sure, it's a CULTURE, not a race but still...

  What if I made a similar comment about Jews? Or what if I called the inner-city black culture a "strange and ugly culture" just because a few of it's members shoot people or sell drugs?

  Bigotry is ugly, no matter it's target

  Thank you inkling.

  This is one of several books written by a gypsy.

  Juliette weaves her magic with stories of gypsies, animals and herbs.

  Some gypsies have made some beautiful contributions to this world.

  Brother Apostate said:

  we the people should skip the middlemen and create our own money, debt- and interest-free.

  so if we create our own currency would you put your face on a coconut or what?

  Are you suggesting a barter system? Or like the Indians...trade turquoise for sea shells? How would you regulate such currency.

  Lets hear it. Maybe you will be elected the Apostate Treasurer and we will form our own trade system.

  Get out of her "My People"

  by JH in

  2. beliefs

  if babylon the great is the false religion, why does someone in heaven call them "my people"?

  does this mean that god has followers in other religions?

  or maybe babylon the great is not what the jw's think it is.. .

  "And then she understood the devilish cunning of the enemies plan. By mixing a little truth with it they had made their lie far stronger."

  -C.S. Lewis

  All religions have this mixture. There are some true loving spiritual people who are referred to as "My People". They are being admonished to get out of all false religions, organizations, etc.

  "My People" are those that worship the Creator in Spirit (actions) and Truth (speech).

  The first reaction to truth is hatred.

  A man better have one foot in the stirrup when he tells someone the truth.

  when you tell the truth people will call it hatred (i.e. Apostate lies) but it does not change the truth. What God wants is for you to tell the truth (but don't expect to win a popularity contest.)

  "Because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved." (and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion (i.e. wts and others) that they should believe a lie. 2 Thessolonians 2: 9-12

  NEVER SACRIFICE TRUTH FOR UNITY.

  This is what spiritual warfare is all about.
