Never Quit! Never give up!

by wannabe in

never quit - never give up!it may well be, i put this post on once before, but when did a litle extra encouragement ever hurt anyone?

we need all we can get during these last critical days, don't we?.

how many of us at various stages of our life have not felt like king david, because of our inherited tendency towards sin?

Who and Where are the Chosen Ones?

by wannabe in

who, and where, are the chosen ones?.

" {1 john 2:27 niv} now, these chosen ones today can say as did the apostle paul did in the first century, which was:.

{revelation 12:9} it is only the chosen ones that satan cannot mislead!

I have listen to some video with a "name" like yours , and I apreciate that "testimony"

wannabe , you said :

These chosen Ones will not only know ALL TRUTH they will even come to know what is yet ahead in the future.

===========================

we have the testimony of a Chosen One named apostle Paul who said : ( 1 Cor. 13 )

9. For we know in part and we prophesy in part;

10. but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

11. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

12. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

Wannabe , how do you reconcile your declaration with that of a Chosen One ?

thank you in advance for answer!

wannabe, you said :

The devil would just love to be able to induce the Chosen Ones to participate in the World-Wide preaching activity of Jehovah's Witnesses; but there's not the remotest possibility of that ever happening, because they would know that, that is the work of a false prophet, designed to mislead the entire inhabited earth.

=======================

the preaching work did begin in 1922 , the "name" of "Jehovah's witnesses" was adopted in 1931 ...

NOW , the question is , would you say that no "Chosen One" was involved in this group of people , and from what year they should NOT be there , 1922 or 1931 ?

if you were living in that period - 1922 or 1931 - being so faithful as you are today , would you have been in or out of that group of Christians ?

-- I am waiting a sincere answer !

sorry if I cannot be more explicite in this language ...

In Remembrance of Raymond Victor Franz

by snowbird in

my thoughts on ray franz.

living down here in the backwoods of alabama, we were privy to very little of what was going on in wt world.

most of us never heard about the shake-up at headquarters during the 80's.

I am of a few words

I trust in YHWH and His SON

and I know His declaration is worthy to be believed :

Psalm 116

15. Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His godly ones.

I don't end my words here with "rest in peace" , because I want him to rest as short as possible , and then ,

to be raised in God's Kingdom , with the purpose to "Live in peace , forever ! "

I know he/Ray was a man of peace

Matt 5 :

9. "Blessed are the peacemakers , for they shall be called sons of God" .

I want he / Ray to be my neighbor there .

Time to lift up the Son of Man!

All I can say is, I try to do the best I can. Can I expect to please everbody? Maybe I come across sounding like the Governing Body, but when you yourself feel you know something are you not going to display a positive attitude about what you feel you know? If you come across sounding that you yourself doubt what you're saying, why bother trying to convince anyone else of what you yourself are not sure of? I know my articles are far too long, and I myself don't like that; but maybe in time, as I progress with this, I'll learn how to get things said without writing a Book about it, as I do now. If you are a skilled writer, share some of your knowledge with me, and show me how you would edit my post down to get it all said. but in fewer words. I never made it through grade school, so didn't learn as much as I should have. When I first started out with this I never believed I'd end up having to apologize to people for trying to help them, because they felt I didn't meet their standards. I do my best! I'll keep on trying to do my best. Maybe at some point in time, I'll be up there with all of you, at your level of learning.Then just maybe my writings will be acceptable to all of you. The question is: Would they be even then? Wannabe

words of encouragement (for you) from Brother Paul :

15. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

brotherly greetings,

Who supplied the food at the proper time?

by wannabe in

" {galatians 4:25,25 nwt} our means all of the anointed class.. the apostle paul, was, for certain, one of the true anointed class.

" she was the mother of all of the anointed class, according to paul.

the following three scriptures will buttress my point, and definitely show, jehovah's organization, is now a heavenly organization, no visible earthly organization is needed now.

Wannabe,

I would like to hear from you : Who does say "peace and security" and , eventually, When ?

thank you in advance !

Religious Christendom's Heavy Blood Guilt!

by wannabe in

religious christendom's heavy blood guilt!.

to pair the word hate with christian, would really be foriegn to the hearer of that combination of words, wouldn't it?

that would certainly be nothing the founder of christianity would be guilty of, would it?

What does the Religious Christendom means to you ?

How do you FOR SURE jw's Do not have the truth?

by whatistruth in

jw
friends

i personally believe they do not, but what solid evidence can you provide me so i can try to convince others?.

wantingtruth

It is written "the truth ... came through Jesus"

then , let's compare -- when does Jesus says his Kingdom starts in Heavens ?

and ... (if you remember..) -- whend does the Jw's say Jesus started reigning in Heavens ?

the answer will say if the Jw's have "all truth"
