WTS vs The Smurfs? 2011
by kzjw in

with the release of the 3d movie the smurfs, will the wt once again bash the little blue people as agents of satan?

we see the focus on twilight bashing, so is this even a relevant call for the society to make?

or will they rely on their past attack of papa smurf and the gang?.

from the perspective of your local kh heirachy, what role does the wtbs play in your real life?

i come to this site as the spouse is a witness, curious to find the answers as to why bible-based babble from the wt can be taken as the truth.

but then i look at the jws my spouse likes and know in my heart that they arent bad people - in fact save one, most i actually like too.
In this system, is there security?

heard a public talk today, mentioning that jw's don't have security....the question is in the midst of a world gone mad, with so may df'd & possibly unstable jws out there, is it true that the wtbs essentially has no earthly agency within the company to protect them?.

curiously..... kzjw.

JW Baptism speel

i was baptized in 1965 at age 6 after coming before my congregation, professing my love of god and acknowledging christ sacrifice.

i was baptized "in the name of the father,son & holy ghost", and 44 years later, i have never forgotten that blessed event.. my wife, however studied for years, answered the baptism candidate questions, hit the baptism pool at an assembly and can't remember hers.. where can i find the statements used by jw's at baptism?

i know there was one used before a certain date, and the one used today.

2. bible
i'm having the whole heaven & hell discussion again w/ the wife...brought up matthew 25:41-46 as proof it exists,then the wife balked & looked to the friends for help.

the good news is that my wife now respects the fact that i won't read anything printed by the filthy slave, but the fight's still not fair.

can anyone give me more scriptures of the bible to use?

it is my understanding that at one point, witnesses were taught that after armeggedon black people would be turned white, since they were inferior.

so when was this teaching rescended, and what was the progression of minorities the borg?.

been almost 8 months since posting...peeked a little -- but i was becoming consumed by the big "w".

my wife's the jw, but i hold the hatetred!

i had to back away...since then i've managed to remove old publications(she stores them now), i'm an opposer now, so i've not really had any elder contact, she's still doing bs & fs, but not much talk.

so i drive to the kh @ 10:30 to pick up the kids (i allow them to attend the pubic talk, but not be poisoned by the koolaid wt study).

as i'm in the parking lot, i see elderx, with whom i've had spirited wt debates heading to his car - he doesn't speak as he now knows i fully oppose the wt.

well from the car his wife sees me, and in her excitement gets out to come over to say hello.
