  Grasping "new" points when reading the Bible?

  by GOrwell in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'm always surprised when reading the bible of things that i've missed or never saw in that manner before.

  how often does this happen to you?.

  for instance, i've probably read the book of john about 8-10 times.

  Being responsible for your behaviour

  by Luo bou to in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i make excuses for my ex and witness relatives telling myself that they're not responsible because they are under mind controll.

  but is that good enough.

  can treating someone as if they don't exist be excused ?

  I think an elder has sussed me out as an apostate. :-S

  an elder phoned me up the other day to see how i was.

  he does this every couple of months, as part of his shepherding routine i suppose.

  (at least this elder takes shepherding seriously) i have not been to a meeting for a few months.

  Did you ever know of a elder wanting montary comp for doing a sheparding visit?

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i knew an elder who would help and support those in the cong, but in return he expected some kind of compensation such as: goods brought for him or his family, services given for free etc.. this elder had a working class job but lived a very middle class life style because of this unspoken arrangement.

  great holidays, new cars and his wife was very much the queen bee of the cong.

  hardly wore the same thing twice and delighted in patronising the other sisters who she considered beaneath her.

  2. beliefs

  if you ever felt that you really did love god, but no matter what you did, ended up on the outs with your family and with the watchtower anyway..... these words have comforted me.. .

  66. thus saith the lord, the heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me?

  and where is the place of my rest?

  no disrespect meant but -

  by therevealer in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  barr was certainly a man with the appearance of kindness and since he is now deceased no disrepect is meant or inferred.

  but does this elderly gentleman inspire thoughts of one who could or should help direct millions of followers.

  The Story of Suzie

  by whereami in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "look at our world through the eyes of suzie, a devoutly religious girl who sees divine love and intervention everywhere.

  this cocoon of comfort keeps her ignorant of science and safely away from critical thought, but it sure makes her happy.

  if you've interacted with the deeply religious, you've probably met someone in your own life that is just like her".
