yes go to meetings and field service otherwise no "payday" for you!
witnesses spend many hours serving jehovah because they will live forever in paradise on earth.....yes, they won't die like the rest of mankind.....so is this really why people serve god...for a final payday in the future?.
Yes, and add to it, fear of not living in Paradise and being destroyed at God's loving war of Armageddon.
Just like the Crusaders lovingly converted the Muslims, "Convert or die!"
The JW's share the same hope of JG's loving message to mankind, "Serve me or die" and as an extra bonus, you can get one free eternal life in Paradise to go with that.
elders told me i shall give prayer for wine on the memorial this year.
what should i say in that prayer?
any advice?.
And I used to think it was such a priviledge to not only pray over the wine, but pass it around.......could we have been more holier than that?
Titus, say the prayer in Latin.
"A cruce salus" - From the cross comes salvation
i am one happy clam!
just got a job offer at almost 10k over my current salary plus another 10k after 2 years.
it's with an agency that would afford me many more professional opportunities, transferability, and promotion potential, and, most importantly, provides excellent benefits and job security and comes at a time when i need an offer since my current company is closing soon.. also, one of the more awesome things is that this job is under the dod, so i can stick it to the watchtower!.
Ah, the beach.......
Under the palms, relaxing in a hammock, watching the sunset at Kona, Hawaii, while sipping a Mai Tai, with my arms around my wifey.....
i figured that after reading the suicide thread through, we need a more positive thread.. so what makes you happy?
?.
Actually, I feel pretty good after having a glass of wine, while preparing dinner with the wifey. Tempered with all the doggies doing their best imitation of 'Oliver' begging for more food after we feed them.
"Yes master dissed, may we have some more?"
Yeah, we are getting cookies!!!
a week prior to my wife being baptized she and i discussed the reasons why people are disfellowshipped.
she says that people are disfellowshipped because they simply want to live their lives the way they want to and no longer submit to god's will.
in other words, they want to do something that is immoral and goes against bible principles.
Hi Heaven,
Ed didn't have a brain tumor. It was a rumor that was started to explain as to why he could leave the WT, because nothing else made any sense.
That all depends.......
Will you be sharing them with us? Or 'greedily, selfishly' keeping them all for yourself?

Many knew Ed Dunlap and couldn't believe he was DF'd. (Gilead instructor, wrote WT books, a most humble person) So the explaination?
He had a brain tumor that effected his thinking........

It goes with the territory. The WT has to put the label on anyone who leaves. They can't explain it otherwise.
