HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH DISAPPOINTMENT ? FORGIVE OR FESTER ?
by Sad Michael ini'm sorry for ruffling feathers here.
i seem to be quite good at it lately, as my wife has adopted apostate views ( you know what i mean) and seems to have found a new calling in trying to "free" all those who will listen.
i get all the other side of the coin i can handle right here.

Elder Says My Daughter's Promotion & Job Success From Devil!
by minimus inan elder and his wife paid my mom a friendly shepherding call and they asked how my ex was doing.
she said, "fine, as far as she knows".
then they asked about my daughter and my mother praised her for her hard work and the fact that she won a special award within her company in which she gave a speech for, and then the former bethel elder said, "well, that's how satan the devil gets people, through praise and making people feel that their work is more important than anything else".

The more I learn about the WTS, the more I believe that it is truly run by Satan himself. That's probably why they know so much about his tactics. If I had to make up a religion that's sole purpose was to destroy people's faith and destroy people's lives, I could never come up with anything more effective than the WTS.
I so agree, St. Ann.
My hubby and I came to the conclusion that the WTS was demonically inspired a few years ago. The sad thing is that the JWs are always so worried about others being under the guidance of Satan, that they themselves cannot see the diabolical influences that surround them.

Lying, deceitfulness, and abuse has its consequences, Sad Michael.
Since the WTS has lied, abused, and deceived people, then the WTS should expect nothing less than a tarnished reputation. It is the natural order of things.
Every day, in courts and out of them, men and women suffer the consequences of lying, deceiving and abusing their fellow man.
Why should it be any different for the WTS? Especially when they are unrepentant, and continue said actions?
And why should it matter to you if we lesser mortals forgive the WTS or not? You should be more concerned whether Jesus, Jehovah, God, or YHWH will forgive the WTS.
Deuteronomy 18:22
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Revelation 22:18, 19
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
According the Bible, anyone who does these things will die. And the WTS, through its twisted doctrines, has done all three.
Now if God thinks these actions are unforgivable and deserving of death, why should I or anyone else think otherwise? This is why your wife is taking the commendable action of trying to warn others, so that they can remove themselves from a hypocritical, pitiless, unbiblical, and morally bankrupt organization.
If you think that is 'JW bashing', then your argument is with Jesus, Jehovah, God, or YHWH, not with the rest of us.

Jw's use publications as proof and back up for their doctrines instead of the bible.
by LouBelle ini say this because when i was preparing to leave the organisation i did initially agree to have a bible study with an elder and a sister in good standing.
my only condition is that we use the bible as a means of proving or disproving doctrines.
they had agreed to that.

That alone should be a sign that this faith has strayed.
It was never in the corral to begin with.

Just avoid eating any dessert. Brazillian desserts are very sweet -- sweeter than most people are accustomed to (but yummy nonetheless)!
Feijoada is delicious, but filling. Make sure that you have a really keen appetite before digging in.
