  Speaking of WTBTS illustrations, what's up with all the dress clothes?!

  by Lady Zombie in

  gruesome armageddon illustrations aside, what's up with never drawing women wearing pants (unless they're worldly)?!.

  picturing them at the kh is one thing, but picturing "christian" women (i.e.

  jw women) outside of the kh wearing dresses is a bit ridiculous.

  I noticed more and more sisters are wearing skirts now because it is too difficult to find dresses. Although there are a lot of 2nd hand dresses at Goodwill and Value Village.

  Phone witnessing has been around for a long time, at least in my area. It is usually for the pioneers that can't get out much due to age or illness.

  I work at a radio station. What did you do there? I have been here 14 years and was Traffic Mgr for a few years and now I'm Sales Co-ordinator.

  What I would be remembered for? People say I am even tempered and if I swear, I must be really really mad. Maybe I'll have that put on my tombstone!!!

  If you don't hear about "the Kingdom" you won't be destroyed so why preach?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  witnesses believe in these last days, if you never spoke to a witness or heard about the kingdom, jehovah will not destroy you...you will have a second chance in the new system to study.

  so why bother preaching at all....there will be time in "paradise.

  " is this correct?

  The

  Rock,. . .aGodoffaithfulness,withwhomthereisnoinjustice;righteousanduprightishe.—Deut.32:4.

  Unlike the animal creation, which is largely guided by instinct, Adam had the ability to make choices. When Jehovah chose to lay a command upon Adam not to eat of "the tree of the knowledge of good and bad," He provided adequate instruction so that Adam could decide what to do. (Gen. 2:16, 17) What would Adam do? Jehovah apparently chose not to foresee what Adam—and Eve—would do, even though He has the ability to know everything in advance. It is therefore a question, not of whether Jehovah can foresee the future, but of whether he chooses to do so. Furthermore, we can reason that Jehovah, being a God of love, would not knowingly and cruelly predetermine that rebellion—with all its sad consequences—should take place. (Matt. 7:11; 1 John 4:8) Thus, as far as Jehovah’s exercise of foreknowledge is concerned, it is selective. w6/1/06 14-17

  So are we to believe that God just sat there that whole time thinking to himself, I wonder what Adam is doing today? I really have no idea because I choose not to foresee the future.

  Is it just me or does that text just seem dumb?

  Son sends "apostate" text message - Now the elders want to talk to him!!

  my 17 year old son told his dad that he didn't want to be a jw anymore about 8 months ago i think, and doesn't go to meetings or assemblies.

  he's been accepted to one of the best universities in the country and will start this fall, with his dad's blessing.

  their congregation had the summer convention this past weekend.

  Son: I don't believe what JWs teach anymore, and I can show you from the WT Library and the bible that they are false prophets.
  
  Sorry I am new to this... what was it he was going to show, I would like to look that up myself.

  Thanks

  p.s. Whether your son meets with the elders or not, it looks like he has his head on his shoulders for a 17 year old. At the end of the day, he will do what he wants. Good for him.
