  not sure if this question was addressed yet, but does anyone know what the next book is that will be studied at the congregation bible study?.

  i'm pretty sure we're close to the end of keep yourselves in god's love, or maybe it's finished already, so if anyone knows what the new study aid will be please let me know.. .

  thanks-dig.

  "Book Study" sounded too cultish, so they changed it to "Bible Study". You can guess that the Bible is just as used as at any other "Bible study"... that is to say hardly at all. "Book study" at least was the proper name.

  I felt I did a great job at making it a Bible study with the current book just used as an outline. Also gave Jesus his proper emphasis and respect. The GB and F&DS got very, very little mention by me. I thought all the over mentioning of them by people was weird.

  I'm one of the rare people to never have wisdom teeth. Never had them and never will.

  How do you respond to: "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one?"

  2. friends

  i get this statement all the time from my jw family.

  that this system is in satan's control.

  or that "this or that" is put here to test our faith.

  That's an easy one......if they don't already know about the WTS's relationship with the UN, then lay a trap and lead them right into in.

  Use your theocratic training man!

  2. experiences

  hello everyone, i have been reading the different topics and haven't seen this discussed..... i was raised in the 'truth' and decided when i was 19 this was not for me...but unfortunately it took years after that to finally make the clean break.

  during that time and up until about a year ago, i was having strange and disturbing nightmares..it finally came to a head when i dreamed that i cussed out the elders in the congregation i had left.,..woke up in a sweat but felt great!

  has anyone else experienced this?

  New WT Article on "grieving" Jah's HS

  by daniel-p in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so an old jw friend just contacted me on facebook to tell me to check out some new article on not grieving jehovah's holy spirit--he said everyone was talking about it and that i should check it out.

  he knows i've been inactive, and this is the first time he's contacted me in years.. of course, he's known to get excited about things quite easily, especially in his manic states (bipolar).. anyway, does anyone know the article of which he was talking about?

  probably just a bunch of gobbledygook, but i thought it would be funny to read the latest gb tirade..

  I can't believe they didn't mention masturbation.

  F'n a-holes.....when are they going to quit trying to guilt everyone else and admit that they are the one's grieving God's spirit.

  poor little wokeup1 was all excited for her first day of jw discussion.

  she picked out a new outfit, polished up her saddle shoes, rolled down her bobby socks and off she went.

  she was hoping all the posters would like her.

  How could JESUS not be thought of as a DEMI-GOD? He couldn't!

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you and i were born we started absorbing the beliefs and culture that surrounded us.. as we grew older we absorbed the beliefs and cultures we experienced among our friends.

  if we moved to a new city or state or country we absorbed the customs and culture and language in order to be a part of society.. jehovah's witness kids learn to dis-believe along with what they believe.. but, early in history among jews and pagans there was a sharp contrast of culture and belief.

  jews were monotheistic.

  I started this topic especially for Perry to peruse.

  I sense a trap.

  Reminds me of the battle of Gettysburg.

  General Longstreet: Sir, it's a trap.... I advise to not attack the ridge, but to go around and head for the Capitol.

  General Lee: Attack the ridge!

  Longstreet: "General, I have been a soldier all my life. I have been with soldiers engaged in fights by couples, by squads, companies, regiments, divisions, and armies, and should know, as well as any one, what soldiers can do. It is my opinion that no fifteen thousand men ever arranged for battle can take that position."

  We all know how that battle ended.

  The term "Organization" and its implications

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah's witnesses commonly use the term "jehovah's organization".

  anyone who questions doctrinal points is one who "questions the organization".

  the term, as any informed jw would know, was born in the era of j.f.

  Excellent work! I've thought on this analogy before, but not to this extent. The literature counter is "eat in" and field service is "take out."

  Ridiculous Talk Given By CO

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mother told me of the co giving a talk and telling everyone to get their hankies out because they would be sure to cry, which evidently some did.. a 5 year old boy was dying in the hospital and his parents were by his bedside.

  he was drifting in and out of consciousness and then he opened up his eyes and asked his mother if he was a catholic.

  the mom told her son he was not.

  What a ridiculous thing for a CO to say. Out of all the things he could chose to talk about....he picks this? Ridiculous.
