DO YOU HAVE ANY GOALS?

by minimus in

one thing a jw has to have is a goal.

a goal for getting to the meetings, a goal for answering at the meetings, a goal to pay attention at the meetings.....a goal to go out in field service, a goal to talk at the doors, a goal to place literature.....a goal for everything under the sun!

do you find that you are sick and tired of goals and need a breather, or have you set new goals?

heathen

My goals are - I would like to live on a farm and live a quiet peaceful life .

we don't know what jesus was doing during the period of 1914-1919. contrary to the wt doctrine an elder during tonights bookstudy for no apparent reason made this statement after the last paragraph for tonights book study was commented on .most unusuall don't you think?

heathen

If I remember correctly they believe that jesus was busy judging the churches of christiandom searching for a religion that would eventually take up the name jehovah.It has to do with old testament scripture as much as new.

we were soldiers

by heathen in

any one else seen this one?.i thought it was very good about viet nam with mel gibson.the horror of war and the the display of brutality was very realistic .just wondering if any viet nam vets experieced anything close what was portrayed in this community.

heathen

Mike you say you literally threwup ,wow I could have never imagined a movie having that kind of impact .I just wonder how many vets would actually watch a movie depicting that kind of realism by special effects and be emotionally tramatized.

ghosts

not to get too deep of a "scary" subject, but wanted to hear opinions out there.. when taught at the kh, we were always told there is no such things as ghosts, but if there were one it was a demon.

i want to use that as an example to how dogmatic they are about so many things, that if they say it to be one way, then that is the truth period.. as it turns out, growing up, we had a ghost in our house.

don't laugh, it is true.

robdar I would have to say swamp gas ,I see you weren't bold enough to move in for a closer look ,wahahahhahahah I think that is so funny that people go ghost hunting and and do seances and quigy board but yet still have this fear of the unknown.lol I remember chasing a ghostly figure around my house one time to get a closer look and it did seem to have that kind of peculiar shade of off white and yes I could actually make out that it was some kind of spirit seemingly in the shape of a human with a head and arms ,waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

There seems to be alot of this kind of discussion on the tv and pretty much everywhere you go even talk radio such as Art Bell show.I have heard some jws claim that they were being terrorized by demons and alot of people claim to see ghosts of dead people.Alot of religions claim that dead people return to haunt the living or have unfinnished business that they need to take care of before they can rest in peace ....yadda yadda.I would have to say if you believe what the bible says about these kind of things then you would see that the spirits that are on the earth are the evil ones that were kicked out of heaven cause that's what it says, there is no mention of dead people haunting the living.

the choice is yours as far as what you want to believe.
