  New Paranoia -- Medical Forms are the newest tools of Satan

  by fyerstar in

  2. beliefs

  my sister (a well-meaning, sweet drone) sent me this email and although i don't get a chance to post often, i thought that this was just too ridiculous to keep to myself.

  i don't have the heart to tell her that there are other people on the planet that have things they'd rather the medical community didn't do to save their lives.

  scary people we used to hang around with.

  if one is assigned to do a public talk.

  prepares for it and proceudes to give it.

  if that person gives the talk but does not give the information that is spoon fed but shares his or her own researched material and it still relates to the topic is that person immediately taken off stage?

  (Matthew

  28:19-20) ". . .Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU.. . ."

  So nope, where doesn't matter, just as long as it is in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

  You can technically get dunked by anyone, even in your own bathtub.

  ok, i know this has been talked about before, but now's a good time to bring this up again.

  my wife (active witness) and i (inactive, haven't attended in over a year) just got memberships to the ymca today.

  it's the only fitness place in town with a swimming pool.

  If the "matter of conscience" doesn't fly with her Elders, she can always apply submission to husbandly "headship".

  This is my biggest "issh"!

  They expected me to develop a "bible trained conscience".

  Then drop-kick the Holy Spirit from the baptism, so as to create a un-sue-able membership agreement?

  And questioning this makes me an apostate in the Service Dept's eyes!

  So which "spirit" directs the "spirit-directed organization" since the Holy Spirit isn't credited?

  *** w0610/1p.23par.12CourageStrengthenedbyLove***

  The spirit of the world promotes greed and materialism—"the desire of the eyes." (1 John 2:16; 1 Timothy 6:9, 10) Even though material things and money are not harmful in themselves, if our love for them supplants our love for God, then Satan has gained a victory.

  arrrgggggggg

  (2

  Timothy3:4-6) ". . .betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 6 For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households . . ."

  sorry for the rant

  Golden Compass Movie, to be avoided?

  by cab1000 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a chance to be with a group of jw's yesterday.

  my wife thinks she overheard a couple of them talking about an announcement from the platform about avoiding the "golden compass" movie coming out.

  i know that other religious groups have spoken out against this film, but i would not have expected the witnesses to announce that formally.

  Not from the Podium directly perse.....but cautioned about "intent" of entertainment.

  The movie theater in my town(rurally isolated) has already decided not to hold any showings. This has been going around the JW grapevine as with other denoms

  Pumpkins in the Kingdom Hall yard....now Christmas lights...you can too

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been a pretty serious practical joker my whole life....some say i am stuck in adolescence (i hope she is 17).

  but anyway, right before halloween i took a couple of pumpkins too close to the road at a farmers place and put them in the kingdom hall front yard....i know i should have paid for them but no one was there.

  it was sunday night, and was hoping maybe no one would notice till thursday meeting, but they were gone on wednesday.
