  is it possible to have an effect from the inside?

  with well thought comments that reveal more of the history of the organization?

  the next book we study will be "god's kingdom rules!

  One day I had enough and walked out..
  There`s no easy way out,you walk away or stay..

  Don't think I can do it that way, too many people will push me until the truth comes out. Then it'll be off to a JC for me. Nope, gotta take it slow but steady.

  Hell, I've barely even started fading and am catching some negativity. When they announce I'm no longer an MS my mom might have a mental breakdown. I know it's nonsense but for them it's the only thing that matters.

  Outlaw - That is really easy to say when you are already DF'd or DA'd let me give you a break down of my situation.

  Immediate family: All JWs except one, includes an Elder and auxiliary pioneers. We've all been together in the same congregation since I was born.

  Sister In Law and Nieces: All JWs

  Wife: JW

  Wife's Immediate family: All JWs

  Childhood Friends: JWs

  Social Circle: All JWs

  So yeah I'd love to write a letter of disassociation and never go back. I could do that but that would not end things, that would only be the beginning of my troubles. If I have to put on a bit of act then I will do so. I have been doing it for a long time anyway.

  so that other thread was fun but now i need some help with something.

  i was born in the truth most of my family is in.

  although they aren't outwardly super spiritual i doubt any of them would ever leave.

  It's a big responsibility. People step down from demanding church assignments all the time and are often given a "thank you for all your service" party.

  LOL If JWs did that there would be no Elders or MS so instead they use fear, obligation and guilt. They want you to be afraid of what others will think when the announcement is made from the platform. They want you to feel obligated to the Elders to continue whatever responsibilities you currently handle. Of course guilt is used to make you feel like you're not giving enough to Jehovah.

  Mid Week Meeting. The book of Job....what does this teach me about Jehovah

  is it me or are you having a hard time commenting on what does this week's bible reading teach me about jehovah & what points from this week's bible study reading can i use in the field ministry ?

  i'm having a hard time commenting because what does job show about jehovah....well, # 1 he allowed job's suffering, but he didn't let satan take his life.

  # 2 what scripture could one use in the field ministry regarding the book of job...talking to a householder, see if you don't behave, god's gonna get you....or allow satan to get you.

  No historical evidence for bronze age men living to 500yrs old?

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower

  the bible tells us that noah etc lived to 500yrs old as did many other characters who lived apparently to incredible years.. yet archaeological research tells us from looking at skeletons that have been dug up that the average lifespan was very short.

  if a man got to the age of 50 they would have considered that quite an achievement.

  when i was in i always wondered about this?

  Historical evidence? The bible clearly states at 2 Tim 3:16 that every word is inspired and true. What other evidence do you need?

  today's wt has the below scripture as it's theme.

  friday of the rc has the same as it's theme.

  the silver nwt is alone in using the word loyalty in this verse.

  That's strange, that was one of their go to scriptures when they wanted to make God sound loving and merciful. I'd like to see how they went from kindness to loyalty. My guess is that the word could also denote loyalty which would be shown through kind acts. The original writers probably had in mind family, friends, and fellow Israelites not a religious corporation.

  What was your first public bible reading? And when?

  by Mandrake in

  i perfectly remember that, rehearsing with mom, trying to read with enough emphasis and in a proper tone.

  i was 5 years old, back then in 1996 i think, and the portion was james 5:1-13.... i found today that i still know the first verses by heart!!!

  it's actually a cherished memory for me, i came to memorize those because mom had me starting the reading all over again until i got to read it properly... and in time!!!

  I was nine years old and just joined the school, I got assigned a portion of 1 Corinthians, went pretty smoothly except I left off a verse at the end. If I remember correctly in those days you had to do a small introduction before you began your reading which later they dropped.

  I like how Job gets tested by having all his family and livestock perish. In the end it's okay though because he's blessed with double the amount. LOL What did his kids do to deserve that? Just another tip off that male heads of the household were the only ones not thought of as possessions in those days.
