  Why dont Jehovahs Witnesses target the Muslim religion as they do Catholics and the protestant religions

  by smiddy in

  o.k.

  fair enough they do not have the same freedom to go from door to door in muslim lands , and of course their are so few of them their to make any impact with their incidental witnessing .. however with modern day technology ,the internet , blogs ,tweets ,social media , etc,etc.

  they could saturate /flood these countrys with their brand of " truth" if they were serious about it .. the fact that they dont, : means they are not serious about spreading the good news of the kingdom in all the earth , making jehovahs name known in all the earth , or witnessing to everybody on earth so they can have opportunity to gain salvation .. or are they afraid of what the muslims will do to them in retalliation .. smiddy.

  i heard through the grapevine this weekend that my second cousin and her husband made a trip to india to investigate possible outsourcing of printed docs for the wtbts.

  he is a uber bethelite in the purchasing dept and my cousin is a good bethelite wife.

  they were living in brooklyn but have been moved up to wallkill in the last few months.

  dear friends:.

  forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.

  this was not so unusual as the family was jehovah's witnesses.

  my experience, and shame on me.

  in a snowstorm in pa on a highway, i ran out of gas.. this was one of many mistakes for the evening.

  the general rule is that a person should stay in the car and wait for help.

  So where is all this supposed worldwide persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by Reality79 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for years, it was drummed into our heads that the whole world lies in the hands of the wicked one who hates us and a result, mankind particularly hates the jws with a passion.. now that i think about it, i've seen very little evidence of that.

  i mean yes, in places like malawi, germany and some other countries the witnesses have been through real persecution - not the type that the average dub would call it like doors being slammed in the face.

  but what have they experienced that many other religions in other countries haven't?

  Why did you pick the name you have now

  by label licker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.

  one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.

  when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.

  The account of Ananias and Sapphira at Acts 5 categorically proves the Bible is not inerrant

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  go and read it again at acts 5: 11. ananias and sapphira drop dead at peter's feet for "playing false to god/holy spirit" by not giving all of the money to peter that they got from a field they sold.

  ananias and sapphira were christians.

  they wanted to help the poor and so sold one of their possessions, a field, and gave most of the money to peter.

  do you prefer regular brew or the fancy offerings?

  can you drink it -- the leaded stuff -- any time, night or day?.

  no survey here, just curious.
