Leaked New Songs 139-142

by toweragent in

http://jwtalk.net/forums/files/download/498-songs-140-142/.

i don't know if anybody has seen this (or if anybody cares).

but it seems that some of the "new" new songs have been leaked by somebody at bethel.. just a bit of a warning, do not click on that vocal rendition of song 142... it is awful.

Remember this scripture: kindly yoke, light load, refreshment for your soul...

by Muddy Waters in

matthew 11:28-30 "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

29 take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.

30 for my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.. do you remember this scripture?

The hardest part is overcoming the conditioning that Jws endure that basically tells them they are worthless.

Shutting down the Judicial Committee "invite".

by kairos in

jw
friends

judicial committee invitation comes, with be there or be square consequences.. ( come or we will df you ).

what are the sure fire, tested and true tactics that will keep the elders off your back?

( for good ).

I'm with flipper on this one. Demand for the witnesses to the alleged offence to be there in person. Then question the hell out of them. Remind them that under the mosiac law that false accusations were punishable by stoning. Then question the elders if they will form a judicial committee to deal with the false witness.

Elders are bullies. Bullies back down when they are stood up to.

Those darned apostates

by berrygerry in

july 15, 1992 wt.

"apostates capitalize on errors or seeming mistakes made by brothers who take the lead.

our safety lies in avoiding apostate propaganda as though it were poison, which in fact it is.".

Just like they use the term perceived injustice.

why report more partakers?

by rebel8 in

jw
friends

of all the threads here about the number of partakers increasing, i don't recall theories as to why they report this.

they could stop reporting numbers altogether or lie.

instead they say, in essence, "our teachings about end times and heavenly hope are still wrong"..

hoser

In the last congregation I attended there was a "brother" who started partaking He did this for. Few years until his wife died then he stopped because he wanted to be with her in the new system.

He is a little off. A little creepy too. Kind of a pervert type of guy.

Is the organization actually gaining more members or losing more?

by yogosans14 in

last time i was at the kingdom hall they were praising themselves about all the growth in members they have been having.

is this "growth" they are having statistically accurate?or are a lot leaving?

hoser

The city I live in has experienced growth in the congregations at the expense of the surrounding congregations closing down.

Is the Watchtower is blind to Jesus' teachings?

by Fernando in

jesus ate with common sinners declaring that they were in (matt 21:31).. jesus denounced religious leaders declaring that they were out (matt 23 esp v15).. still the watchtower persists in making their own determinations, according to their own rules, who is in and who is out (prov 17:15).

.

this is why the apostate watchtower ruling religious clergy class and hierarchy surreptitiously and contemptuously hate and obfuscate the unabridged gospel which teaches that a right and clean standing is imputed on the basis of grace (faith) and not merit (works).. are their similar instances that come to mind for you?.

hoser

Jesus? Never heard of him.

Find happiness in the peace of god

Jesus spoke to people who were unhappy. Sermon on mount seek spiritual things you can be happy.

Happiness is not dependant on things done well. Happiness is an elusive word. Lasting happiness lies with Jehovah.

Problem for many of Jws not happy. We blame ourselves for Jehovah not being pleased with us that we are not happy. Ps 102 a prayer of the oppressed one in despair. Ps 102:1-6 Payne talks about pelicans that we don't have them in canada. compares pelicans with depressed witnesses

Description of one who feels depressed. Is Jehovah interested in you being a happy person. Jesus died for you. Proverbs 12:25 not good to be anxious. Anxiety in a mans heard weighs him down. Never be anxious for the next day. We don't want to be anxious to the point where it makes us unhappy.

Elderly sister in bethel working in service with little child. The little child was so guilty that she said she wouldn't be in new system.

1 chron 8:29. Serve with complete heart

Mal 3:16 book of remembrance. Some brothers are stronger than others in the truth he said but he also said that Jehovah didn't segregate of the 8 million witnesses.

James 5 if conscience is troubled go to elders and confess.

Ps 32 happy is one who's sin is covered and there is no deceit. When I kept silent my bones groaned. We don't have to be unhappy because of hidden sin

Phil 3:13 forgetting the things behind. Paul had many things to forget more than any of you ever have had.

1 cor 15:9,10

None of us deserve everlasting life.

Unhappiness can be caused by change. Nothing is a sure thing or guaranteed. People work to earn money and it can be wiped out. Have to learn to deal with change.

Phil 4;6,7 do not be anxious over anything.

James 1:17 every good gift from above

Jesus doesn't change

Job 41:11

We think we are not good enough we think sometimes. Jehovah can see a sparrow as he falls. He cares for us.

Anglican minister learned the truth upset at the King James Version of the Lord's Prayer. She emailed bishop about the problem. Resigned at minister. Attended district convention. This lady started a study with one of her friends. Both were baptized.

Isa 65 interior rooms he referred to brothers missing meetings life is like that. Juggling. We can juggle two balls. Another ball parents sick lost job satan throws more things at us so we miss meetings.

by maksutov in

of course jws have the 'perfection' rider and the ability of god to intervene at any time to skirt round the logical flaws, but here is an amusing look at what might really happen if we could live forever:.
