Simon and Minimus

by zeb in

i have a post on simons "how i came to be (part5)..

Be honest. Am I an abusive Father??

by DATA-DOG in

i was angry with my kid for questioning me.

i work, i pay the bills, i provide food, clothing and shelter for them.

instead of respect, i get attitude.

Fernando

Hopefully this too will pass and tomorrow will be a better day for you both.

I asked our COBOE who counsels elders...

by stillin in

i observed how they were always "helping others" by applying god's word and helping people to make adjustments, but who helps the local elders to see things more clearly?

his answer?

circuit overseers, of course!

Fernando

Good question.

At least a truthful and predictable though pathetic answer.

Is disagreeing with the GB rebelling against God?

by kneehighmiah in

the other day an elder mentioned that not following the gb direction is the same as rebelling against god.

this in harmony with the ominous tone set forth in the respect jehovah's authority video.

in this thread i'll point out several gaping holes in that argument as time allows.. 1. the gb/fds does not speak "mouth to mouth" with god as did moses.. jehovah condemned and punished mariam for speaking against moses.

Fernando

Logically you cannot disagree with the GB without disagreeing with the god of the GB.

The god of the GB is our self-appointed step-father, the "god of religion", aka Satan the Devil.

He transforms himself into an angel of light, but when scrutinised and questioned is revealed to be an imposter, pretending to be the "God of Abraham".

It is no accident that those following the "god of religion" are led away from the "God of Abraham" and away from his liberating message, the explicit and unabridged gospel (or "Good News").

The elders came by and my DA letter

by Crazyguy in

the lead elder co of my hall said he was going to push for a jc meeting.

i could tell all along all hes interested in is protecting his god the org.. so i'm 90% sure now of going on the offesive and first having a family meeting telling them i'm offically quitting and how its going to play out and how i'll will be shunned even though i have commited no sin.

i also may explain a little of why and how i came to this decision with out bashing the org to much out of respect for my wife.

Fernando

Great letter.

What are your thoughts on sending to branch/es (first/only)?

If you'd like to compare with a similar DA letter, you're welcome to PM me.

Does anyone have a link to a video of a JW guide explaining the suit of armour? It will be much appreciated.

This video powerfully demonstrates WBTS spiritual blindness (for me at least).

The spiritually blind JW guide cannot discern the spiritual suit of armour at all - if I remember correctly he does not mention or explain a single component of it, whilst indeed talking about Eph 6:14-17.

*** w55 1/15 pp. 42-43 Is Your Best Good Enough? ***
Satan and his system hate minds that think for themselves, that do not conform to the mass mind molded by propaganda. If a person thinks deeply he may be called names, such as “[apostate]”.

"Education shows you how to think. Propaganda tells you what to think."

I agree but needed to see for myself - and there it was in the Awake!

Thanks for sharing DATA-DOG.

2013-Apostates are Antichrist!

by Atlantis in

this file is now being passed around by jws!

.. .they claim: ..

(" john specifically mentions apostates as among those of the antichrist by referring to those who went out from us, abandoning the christian congregation.

Fernando

The (real) truth remains important to me.

I cannot accept false definitions of what an apostate is.

Apostasy is "spiritual unfaithfulness".

The Watchtower by claiming a relationship with the "God of Abraham" whilst prostituting itself with the "god of religion" is GUILTY.

It is no accident the so called "publishers of the Good News" are ignorant of the "Good News" according to Paul, Moses, Isaiah and Psalms. It simply is not in their hearts or on their lips.

The are simply too busy lusting after the "god of religion" and his VISIBLE golden calf the WBTS.

FrankieGoesToHollywood, whilst the GB will not admit it they have seated themselves in the seat of Moses (mediator).

Their publications have advised the R&F that Jesus is not their mediator.

Several decades ago we were told to stop ending our prayers with "in the name of our mediator Jesus".

*** w53 5/15 p. 293 Watch Out for the Pharisees! ***

“THEN Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying: ‘The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the seat of Moses. Therefore all the things they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds, for they say but do not perform.’”—Matt. 23:1-3, NW.

These words of Jesus Christ, the Messiah and Prophet of whom Moses spoke, clearly identify the Pharisees as men who had taken authority to themselves.
