just wondering.. i find myself having little mini panic attacks about all this.

now that i have a little one to be responsible for, i am a little nervous.. i am strongly fighting the urge to have my car loaded up with a weeks worth of supplies for us (ie food, gear, clothes, diapers, water) so if something happens big here - i can head out to canada.. warning (haha) be ready my canadian friends - my daughter and i may be joining you.. anyone else feeling these "survivalist" feelings?????.

closer.

You Know,
I ask you to prove what you say. You can't can you? Please show me how, not following the WT is the same as not following the god you call Jehovah? It is not a nightmare for me in regards any thing the WT has to say about future predictions, the failing track record is well documented.

" plead with the governmental mountains to fall over them from the terror that is now apparently in the preliminary stages of being unleashed" for what purpose? Primary stages of what? Is this terrorism gods doing?

You sicken me. I think you are a troll, WT shill, or some other similar degenerate. So keep up the good work of scaring away any future converts, YouKnow, that's what were all here for.

I just do not understand........

by WildHorses in

maybe it's just me but, why is it that "christians" seem to be the most judgmental, unforgiving, hard hearted people?.

all my life for some reason or other, i have believed in god and jesus, but throughout history, and even in our time.

the cruelest acts have been done in the name of god.. i see "christians" claim they have love of their fellow man, but their actions (and words) are to the contrary.

Lilacs,

In my case I have to thank the WT for showing me the bad ways of other religions. Once I saw the WT was also a false religion it was easy to apply the "get out of her" rule and never return.

you are harming loyal jw.

i have been taken a closer look at many of the posters here on this board.

most of you are very critic about the jw and special about doctrines.

Boroea,

Maybe you should get some bug spray.

When Ambiguity Signals Betrayal

by metatron in

jw
friends

for quite a while now, the watchtower has been reacting to.

severe controversies with ambiguous replies.. this is a dramatic change from the decades when they plainly.

expressed their views on neutrality, the u.n., and blood.. it was felt that to do otherwise violated the sacred responsibility.

Met,

Like Clydsdales!

Donations to the WTS are compulsory?

by ozziepost in

jw
friends

the latest issue of the watchtower carries this statement:.

"because of the poor economic conditions in some parts of the world, many struggle to provide the bare necessities of life for their families............ many of our christian brothers and sisters are in that situation.

without help from fellow believers, they simply could not afford such things as christian publications or suitable kingdom halls.

HoChiMin

Ozziepost,

Good points. Second Corinthians chapter eight looks to me as to be talking about a spiritual equalizing, not monetary. 8:2 does mention poverty but the remainder of the chapter looks to be leaning towards spiritual understandings especially 8:8-9. That's the big WT always looking for the money.

The WT always pats themselves on the back with this one, and denouncing others as selfish, and they don't even have it right.

Witless Dreamers...

They want to "serve Jehovah" was mentioned many times. The witness mentality cannot separate the WT, GB, from their tenet of god. The teachings of C.T. "Kook" Russell and onward intertwined the two with the idea that they are the exclusive channel of god. Regardless of what they claim, the two are not the same and never will be. So I would say the majority of Witnesses are having pipe dreams induced by cult mind control. The disturbing part is they think ,NOW, that the stepping over many bodies is something to look forward to, then building a house or welcoming people.

This type of thinking is very similar to the extremist Muslims, where they would have many virgins to cater to their needs after death. We know the WT teaches you may not have to die to see your reward, so they put their spin on it, it's still an extreme teaching. The framework is in place for the WT to say almost anything and the followers will believe it. Many Witnesses are giving up their lives, goals and dreams, and replacing them with so called "spiritual goals" and a puffed up ego that allows them to stick their nose in the air at all others not believing as they do. It's a house of cards people, the bottom card is being pulled out, many will leave and less will come in, where educated of the facts.

why are the JW"S NGO"S?

by sleepy in

jw
friends

it been very interesting reading all this ngo business.. i haven't had time to read all the info.. what i want to know is this why did the society decide to associate itself with the un?.

what does it get out of the relastionship?.

are they using the un's dpi simply to get information to write about in their magazines, saving them the hassle of writing and researching their own material?.

HoChiMin

Sleepy,

One possible reason would be to further their preaching work in other countries. They can point to the UN affiliation as a way to show how main stream they are.

We know it's a smoke screen and a cover up that will bite them in the ass for a while. The WT will just proclaim "new light" has risen forth. When say, a witness house painter can't paint a church without getting df't the hypocrisy is blatantly obvious. Also remember, it's OK to lie to further the interests of the WT.
