  Regarding Quoting Scriptures All the Time

  by AllTimeJeff in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are you really thinking for yourself when you quote scriptures all the time as your personal answer?.

  i bring this up for two reasons: first and foremost, it became almost a game in jw land, a competition to see who had the better (wt approved) passage when something came up.. almost always of course, if it was "of this world", well, we know the nwt in particular is full of how bad "the world" is.

  can't be part of "this world") its bad!.

  I got sick and tired of hearing certain scriptures. Hebrews 10:25 was particulary nauseous after a while.

  Honestly, the idiocy of thinking that God or Jesus are bothered about how hard we try at sports or anything for that matter. When there is unimaginable suffering going on for some people who have no means to do or try anything, while God smiles with approval at rich sports stars or even relativley comfortable people like us in the West.

  If I was God, sports events would not even register with my consciousness, I would be focussed on helping people in real need, especially children, after all he does call himself a loving father doesn't he?

  Yeah, I like it that she has given the GB the two fingered salute. I know she infuriates a lot of witnesses LOL.

  have i missed the boat?

  never thought the system would go on so i would never face this situation....problem is my mum always told me how i was the firstborn after 4 baby deaths {this really messed her up and scared me} me and my sister who is married and 30 have had no kids....no grandkids for my family.

  i'm financially well off, and without kids i spend money on whatever i want and have pets but....still feels abit empty.

  I'm 42 with a 14 month old girl. She is a light in my life. Nothing can compare to meeting your child for the first time.

  Go for it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

  Michael Jackson is going to GEHENNA!!!!

  this was stated by a over zealous pioneer to another witness in my congregation.

  what a self righteous stament.

  being the fact that jesus has been given the right to judge(matthew 25:31-33).

  julie(i'll call her) is a friend of mine i met some time ago during a trip to california.

  with permission i would like to relate her story of endurance and the will to never give up.. coming from a military background her parents divorced at an early age.

  things were seldom "normal" at home.

  Jehovah's Witnesses found her and offered conditional support.

  I'd love to know what that was, I never saw any kind of support for anybody whilst I was a JW.

  I belonged to the sink or swim congregation, and believe me I saw a lot of people drowning.

  Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism

  by whereami in

  has anyone ever read this?.

  most atheists come from a family where the father was missing, dead, weak or abusive.

  paul c. vitz has written a very interesting book entitled faith of the fatherless: the psychology of atheism (spence, 1999).. .

  So, apparently, my sister is mature, wise and educated enough to make a life-or-death decision, but she's not mature enough to walk home from school with a boy

  Very good point.
