  Did you Believe

  by WildTurkey in

  as an active jw, did you really ever believe that you would survive armageddon?

  with me, i served as an elder, regular pioneer, was over the book room at district conventions, but i always felt it was not enough, i was never real sure i would survive the big day of god almighty!!

  the reason i ask y'all is, i don't think you can feel real sure in a organization that is legalistic and work orientated .

  Britboy you said this:
  

  The funny thing is that a few days ago I thought, thank god there is a war in Afganistan as when all wars cease and the cry for peace and security happens then WHAM!! So even all these years later I still get shakey at times... guess that is what deep rooted cultish mind control does to you.

  Britboy, Hope your recovery is going well. Just a thought, did you know that people usually return to the religious beliefs of their family of origin when faced with senility, old age and death.
  Just think you maybe wandering around a nursing home one day trying to sell WT mags lol. Hope this cheers you up maybe not.

  among the latest instructions to the rank and file witnesses is this one:.

  "following bible principles, we will avoid trying to live (or demand others to live) by an extensive and rigid set of dos and don'ts that go beyond the teachings of the bible.

  " (the watchtower - issue of april 15,2002, page 22, para 15).

  anewsperson who are you talking to? Me! If you are then you don't have a clue what I think or believe. Get a life please!

  I'm a realist I know the WT will go on with or without me. I'm not delusional like someone here.

  ... on the news yesterday they announced that president bush had made a statement regarding the elections in zimbabwe, that they were 'severely flawed' or something, and that the result shouldn't stand.

  this caused her much amusement.

  i know there's not that much of a comparison, but it's funny how people forget, isn't it?.

  Yes, but we all know the Saudi Arabia arrangement is relative. The Saudis have their own agenda. The US doesn't need a base in Israel they already command of the Israelis. Money Talks!

  SS do you spend your days searching for these articles or do you have them stored for when your master returns?

  If you read my original posts I noted that but I'm not a NAZI. Many groups have considerable influence and power in the US.

  Storage who said anything about storage. Isreal is a foot hold for the US because of the AID(money) given. If the US wants to use Isreal they will or else they will cut the Aid and support. I never said anything about storage. D'uh

  I'm MUCH younger than you but I've been reading the Times since I was 10 years old. I wasn't raised a JW so I was allowed to think.

  It's anticipated that scores of rules and regulations formerly applied in the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses will be erased.

  Ozzie it's so strange that you keep posting subjects I've been discussing for years. I've seen the principle concept being introduced somewhat in the WT instructions but then they revert back to do not do this or do not do that. I think that a list of shoulds and should nots is straight from Babylon The problem is their are so many untreated adult children of alcoholic parents in the JW congs that all they know is how to be harsh and judgmental. It is a sickness.

  It's mostly the individuals behavior. I see that many want a list of should/should nots it's the level they are on. An example would be: The Wt society suggests that married couples should not take separate vacations. A sister in the audience writes down DO NOT take separate vacations Is this her fault or has she been conditioned by Babylon inside and out of the org. We're instructed not to rebel or make our own decisions. Men can't even decide whether to have a beard or not. It's up to the local elders.

  I do hope principles are the way JWs go it would be cleaning out more of Babylon.

  I've even discussed this subject with a WT lawyer in our cong. He's actually not that bad he's advocated for sisters that have been abused in our cong This is my issue with the WT but implementing this into the cong is impossible. They would need to be hit over the head repeatedly

  Note my name imbue means principles. After considerable thought and discussion of this subject it was a natural choice.

  The US always backs Israel for the Jewish vote and the money. Then it's their only real foot hold in the Mideast. The chosen people theory may be true for a few in office but not the majority.

  Your GF has a good sense of humor. Does she read your posts here? I'm interested to know what post-JW spouses think about it all. Especially if your come so far from the life. Think your GF may write about it for us Abaddon?

  Zimbabwe in Europe? Since when?
