Whatever you do reflects on Jehovah

by dgp in

i heard a witness say this.

sorry if my question seems stupid, but i'm not a jw and i don't know any better.

i have the feeling that this phrase means that you have to carefully weight your every word and action so the worldlies won't have a bad opinion of the wts?.

"And this also means you will often do what you wouldn't"

No offense but that statement doesn't mean any since....

I think what you mean is... "why does my JW/NonJW boyfriend or girlfriend oscillate between being a prude and being consumed with lust. It's because JW's are people with all the same emotions and feelings that "wordlies" have. We just think God is going to kill us because of them. There fore we give in but then get scared the second after that we are going to either A) be caught and disfellowshipped in public humiliation and losing our friends and family or B) die at Armagedoon and be humilated and never missed by or friends or family because we were evil.

i am an ex jw and happy.

my sister is an ultra jw married to an elder.

my non jw grandfather just past away and my sister has said for the last 15 years that she wanted nothing to do with that side of my family including me and especially my grandfather.

And FYI, I don't think Mrs. Elder's wife uber-witness is going to be listening to any of your inspirations on the scriptures anyhow.

Wow Kicked out you came on THIS board to ask people how you can twist scripture to dick your sis out of something someelse left to her that is none of your business... I am very surprised the responses have been so civil.

How is this any different than twisting scripture to convince someone to be a JW? I hope you see the error of your ways very soon.

to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you have peace!.

a week or so ago i ran across a post asking what happens when we die.

i had meant to respond then, but got distracted and then could not find the post again.

Brocephus

I'll let you know when it happens. Might be a while (I hope)

Were you ever offered unconditional love by worldlies?

by dgp in

when you were in, or at the moment, if you are in, were you ever offered unconditional love by worldly people?

if so, what did you feel about it?.

thank you very much for your posts..

Brocephus

Oh so are you dating a witness?

Yup, a few friends and my non-JW family... It made me feel not as persecuted as the WTS would have me think I am. It got me thinking they just might be full of Horse Sh*t. Why all the questions dgp?
