United Brotherhood - even in the reverse...?

by johnnyc in

its a bit odd to me to finally understand what "united brotherhood" means from this web site.

even though i traveled for work, i was not the guy to make sure to go to every meeting abroad.

in fact, i didn't even once go to another "branch" office.

I remember being very impressed, when I was studying, that in every corner of the world, either the jungle or the desert, everyone was taught the same thing at the same time. I didny even click then about control Very clever

JW runs when he hears the word "Jesus"

by Honesty in

this morning i was in the office of a company that i do business with.

3 women were in the office and they all asked me how i was doing since i had major surgery last month.. i told them that i was recovering but it was kind of disappointing when i woke up in the recovery room instead of at the pearly gates.. one of the women said, "god must have more for you to do here.".

at which i replied, "yes, there are so many lost people who don't know jesus.".

Im sorry but you said " Jw s are not afraid of discussing Jesus.............and anyone saying otherwise couldnt have been a witness" How dare you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also you said "im not liar" Sorry but you are saying that everyone here IS a liar !!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

I know they didnt like "Jesus" speak, it was too born again sounding

Ask a witness who is their favorite bible character is and they will say Moses or David or Paul. Ask a born again or just a christian and they will say Jesus. Try it I have

Blood transfusion.................and I felt sick.

by Summer wine in

jw
friends

although my opinion of the use of blood has dramatically changed.

i was surprised with my reaction when i recently visited someone in hospital and the blaz a way the nurse said that the patient had been given 2 units of blood to "build him up".

when i looked at the hooked up line of red blood, i felt physically sick, not because of the sight of blood as some people are, but that he was was been intravenously "fed" blood.

I still feel the same now, days later. I feel something was not right.

Has anyone felt this way, when actually faced with an non threatening life blood transfusion?

God gave FREE WILL...WT does not ALLOW IT.....and a ???

by oompa in

having experienced the shunning of nearly all my old friends, i realize that although wt can not stop you from expressing your own thoughts (free will), they certainly do have enough control mechanisms in place to make you less likely to do so.

i was an open apostate for awhile, not on purpose, was just expressing myself to anyone who would listen about how we had been duped.....lied to about certain things.

i chose to shut up and shut down for the most part since i knew a full df would be even harder on my wife and our marriage.

Most JWs I know dont think, believe, only JWs will survive the big "A", my daughter included. Maybe thats the road of reason I should take with her !

In memory of Charles Taze Russell who died 92 years ago.

by AndersonsInfo in

pastor charles taze russells wife, maria, divorced him in 1906. the writings of maria russell e-document contains an eleven-page enlightening introduction that outlines her fall from her husbands affection because he said she was endeavoring to take over the editorship of his religious journal, zions watch tower.

is that true?

also discussed is the question of mrs. russells acumen as a writer which her husband and followers called into question.
