  Witnesses called for a bible study

  by umbertoecho in

  2. experiences

  hello all.. i haven't been here for some time to post as mainly i read the comments and such.

  yesterday was a really interesting, unnerving experience though.

  two sisters had called last week when i had an abscess on my tooth and was sort of sick from it.

  Ask them if they are there to share the good news with you.

  Then ask them to read you Galatians 1:8, 9 because the good news is what's important to a follower of Christ. The apostle Paul says this is very serious.

  Tell them you know about their literature and how it says announcing Jehovah's Kingdom, but you are really interested in the Good News of the Bible not what some magazine says. How is this the good news of the Bible that Paul talked about?

  Ask them if they can tell you what exactly are the good news they preach.

  Then could they show you from their Bible where it says what they said.

  And you open your Bible to 1 Corinthians 15:1-8. How does that match with what they preach, because if not, they are teaching another good news, and if so, then they stand condemned as Galatians 1:7 says.

  Go back to Galatians 1 and now read them verses 6 and 7.

  So if they preach another good news they really have deserted God, as verse 6 says.

  "illustrated Bible Stories" on jaydub.org site

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. bible

  i stumbled onto the section on jaydub.org (i'm not putting the proper address in for them).

  it is called "illustrated bible stories" under the "children" section.. why is everyone of the 12 stories from the old testament / hebrew scriptures??.

  so much for a "christian" religion!!.

  I prefer JW.borg :-)))

  So much for a "Christian" religion!!

  Even the new logo, JW looks like it needs an "e" in between the two letters. I think they do this on purpose.

  BTW I'm from Sephardic ancestry so the wannabe WT spiritual Semites/Israelites thing they got going feels almost like identity theft to me. :-(

  the conti verdict was made in mid-april.

  presumably, the wt&ts has until a certain date to decide whether to take the case to supreme court or not.

  does anyone know how long this period is from the date of the court's decision?

  Of course they'll wait until the last minute. It's in their "best interest", why?

  Because the more they wait the more the big sums of money stay in their bank account gathering interest.

  The first video up above where the little girl wants to get an icecream cone but feels bad because her conscience compels her into thinking she needs instead to give her money to the Organization is just typical WT brainwashing.

  Isn't this just like stealing candy from a babe?

  How low can the WT go? Bunch of greedy money grabbers!

  when the rnwt was released, we were invited to go to the local assembly hall.. there was a sister right next to me and she started bragging that it was her 8th year in an annual meeting.

  (typical thing, all spiritual).

  when was time to sing, i listened to her beautiful voice.

  A young brother who loved to sing loud, really loud, what he lacked in musicality he made up in volume.

  Well in the old song that recounts all the things Jesus did he sang the next line "For this Christ was exhausted"

  Several of us also young ones in front of him heard him loud and clear, he went on singing and we just about cracked up because the words should have been "for this Christ was exalted".

  Ah, those were the days when it was thrilling to be asked to rove with the mics!

  For sure many of Rutherfords elemental collisions were caused by "ethanol".

  
  

  It just goes to show what kind of "spirits" were talking to Joe Rutherford--and he seems to have listened a lot.

  so if I log in and they can track "My Donations" how is that different from other churches passing out donation envelopes with names of parish members? They'll know who and how much, and also who doesn't contribute at all.

  Welfare and Witnesses

  by adjusted knowledge in

  2. friends

  i'm ignorant to the social welfare programs outside the us, but listening to others i have to assume in europe it is more generous.

  i've not had deep personal conversation with active witnesses for nearly 20 years.

  last year i made contact with a family and some elders came to my house.
