  Its ironic they use the word "Christian" since they believe that Christ is Michael and give no praise whatsoever to Jesus Christ.
  Oh well, Who knows......

  LB:
  Your posts always make me laugh! Its good to have people like you here.
  If thats true, its no wonder all the J.W. women in my family are so crabby. Thats just not fair ya' know?
  Its kind of sad actually. I guess my advice to them would be, "Dont take no for an answer"!!!!
  Boy, am I glad I married a pagan catholic. He manages to keep me in a pretty good mood.

  GOING DOWN IN THE ONRUSHING FLOOD?

  by You Know in

  2. beliefs

  presently developing trends in the world are like a slowly rising mountainous tsunami that threatens to drown jehovahs organization.

  global warfare seems certain to erupt at the next spark of terrorism.

  the financial system is being rocked with increasing tremors of volatility in advance of the onrushing wall of water.

  You know:

  That is where you and I are different.
  I DO accept God and his word the bible as my authority. Actually sitting down and reading it, made me notice how the W.T.S had twisted it and misrepresented its contents. I do NOT however accept an organization as my authority because this wouldnt be scriptural.
  By the way, the "new world" translation is not one that I accept due to the alterations that the W.T.S has made to the bible to support their false teachings.

  Anyway, It is not that difficult to understand. If an organization makes false prophecies, they are not Jehovahs organization. God does not lie. The bible helps us identify false prophets.

  We do not need an organization.
  John 14:16 "No one comes to the father but through me, Jesus Christ"
  John 14:1 Jesus said "excersize faith in God and me". No mention of an organization.
  We all stand alone before God to be judged, not as an organization.
  Read, Romans 14:4,10-12.

  I pray for you and all misguided witnesses to know the truth. The society is using you and others like you to make their organization
  grow.

  This is too weird.
  If they used that as an opening line at the door, most men would slam it shutt. They must not tell them untill after they are baptized. "Oh, by the way, you and your wife cant have oral sex anymore". Give me a break!

  Ladies, wouldnt it be fun to corrupt a witness guy?
  I have yet to meet a man who doesnt love oral sex.
  What is he going to do, push you away? Highly unlikely.

  I have posted this before but it looks like this Scripturally literate person has missed it during his studies.
  
  You Know:
  Its ironic that you mentioned the word "presumptuous".
  The W.T.S is not Jehovahs Organization.
  Read, Deuteronomy 18:22 " When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word does not occur or come true, that is the word that Jehovah did not speak. With presumptuousness the prophet spoke it. You need not fear him."

  JW VS Apostate code words

  by Imbue in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every social group develops their own code words to identify themselves with that group.this is part of the study of semiotics.

  jws have many code words.then there are semiotics for apostates.

  i'll start the lists.

  "Sheperding call",
  To sheperd, "to take care of the sheep". As if! They are really trying to take care of the org. by snooping, showing up at homes unannounced.
  "Of the world", "fallen away from the truth".
  But (PAGAN) will always be my favorite. Me and my sister still laugh and call eachother that. It seems so dramatic.

  Lark: Free therapy? Im there!
  I do however think its petty to pick on someones spelling. By the way, what is (coupla)? I dont remember seeing that in the dictionary.

  Jerome: If you think your girlfriend shunning you would hurt, imagine how you would feel if she let your child die, by refusing nesessary medical treament and felt pleasure in doing so.
  Most of us are in the same boat. I would love for my family to see the truth about the org. I think they are so dependant on it, that they cant face the truth. They dont want to see it, the W.T.S is all they have ever known. You have to think for yourself. Unless you love her enough to follow her, regardless of her false beliefs. I couldnt be involved in a religion that I didnt feel was the truth. Some people could care less though, I know people who became catholic even though they didnt believe in it, just because the men they married were. I believe my grandfather became a J.W. because of my grandmother. We could talk for days on this subject. If anyone has a magic "make someone realize the truth about the org. pill"
  Let me know.

  Im so sorry about your father.
  Its hard enough to deal with such a loss and then the topic of money always comes up to make things even more tense.
  I remember when my J.W. grandfather died, my mom found a bottle of Viagra in his bedroom. We had to laugh, it actually lightened up the situation. Anyway, my J.W. aunt was mortified at the thought of anyone finding out about it. Good thing she never found out that he watched the playboy channel too. My sister was a little upset about it but only because she was jealous that grandpa might have been having sex more often than she was. Knowing him, he might have even left the pills out on purpose, he was always such a card, making people laugh. We miss him.
  Take care, Going through this is always emotionally and physically draining. My sympathy to you and your family.
