Look it up.....its a doozy in it's own right......and not known by many.

being as serena williams shows outstanding abilities and skills at that which she exerts herself in, such as tennis, it would seems reasonable that serena williams has the same high level of abilities in all of her worthwhile endeavors.

perhaps she has this level of abilities in her journey as one of jehovah's witnesses.

would it not be reasonable that those who need greater clarification and understanding of certain bible subjects, to make contact with serena and ask her such questions?.

She isn't a Jehovah's Witness.

In fact, NO ONE that doesn't live their laws, demands and schedule can say they're a Jehovah's Witness.

There are tons of 'baptized' JW's that aren't JW's at all........they are fake, living double lives. Their depth of spirituality.....as some call it.....is only measured in not getting caught and continuing to 'associate'

JW's are the hard core followers that obey and waste their lives on a daily basis.

"Theocratic Warfare" still alive and well within Watchtower in 2016!

by ILoveTTATT2 in

it seems like the watchtower is still encouraging "theocratic warfare".

in the no.1 watchtower of 2016, they (ironically) printed an article on honesty.here is something they said:"lyingwhat is it?

saying something false to someone who is entitledto know the truth.

You mean like "millions now living will never die"......or

....."this generation will not pass away"

or

......this proves they just laugh in the faces of their people. They know they're lazy, fearful or choosing ignorance.

Pictures in the Watchtower

by Sour Grapes in

jw
friends

after sitting through last sunday's watchtower i got so sick of seeing the bobbing/nodding heads when talking about the pictures.

they act like god himself took the picture.

there must have been 10 comments about the group in service and the one brother was looking at his phone with a smile, which is a dead give away that he was reading something interesting.. what got me was how the older brother in the posed picture had a bible in his hand had a stern look on his face looking at the young brother.

Do you believe in a personal God?

by StephaneLaliberte in

there may be a god, but i doubt he has anything to do with us now.

i cannot reconcile concentration camps such as auschwitz, which i have visited, and people praying before their meal, thanking him, who did nothing.

here is an example: frank has a kid named johnny.

You mean as a mere imperfect human, you wouldn't watch your children or loved ones tortured, maimed, starved, raped, sodomized, and slaughtered because a neighborhood bully said you didn't have the balls to watch it for centuries...over and over...and over...and over again?

Yeah.....that is the Jehovah's Witness doctrine called Universal Sovereignty.

If 'imperfect humans' wouldn't do that for a bully..... why would an almighty god?

You literally have to check your brain at the door. Beyond absurd.

Rivalry among the sisters

by Esmeralda001 in

when i was first introduced to the "truth", i was so distracted by the love and affection that the members were showing me that i was ready to convert into the religion without thinking twice.

i was conviced that jws were god's people (i still think some of them are).

i made it my goal to get baptized as i wanted to be part of the "only" religion that produce such good people.

daringhart13

Jehovah's Witnesses are a collection ground for people like these 'sisters.'

As an elder, nothing was more time consuming or brutal then dealing with all the petty fighting among 'women of god'

J.W. Women Should Stop Wearing Mascara!

by The Searcher in

the wtbts/ org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a bible truth/principle and what does not.

example: it-1 p. 319 birthday - ".....there is no indication in the scriptures that faithful worshipers of jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.

the bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of pharaoh of egypt and herod antipas.

I said the same in my blog. It's comical the level of hypocrisy they teach.

Literature being discontinued, including Isaiah's Prophecy and Reasoning book

by Richard_I in

jw
friends

congregations get an annual letter that tells what can be ordered for literature (it's mainly a list of audio cds/dvds for the deaf), but this time it included publications that will be discontinued, and this included the isaiah's prophecy book and the reasoning book, and i think i saw the draw close to jehovah book.

i meant to take a picture of the letter but forgot.

the branch is only going to give what they have on stock, when that stock depletes that's it, you won't be able to order those publications anymore.. this is in canada so i don't know if this is worldwide..

If you didn't think it was possible.............they are dumbing everything down.

Gone are deep articles filled with anti-types, modern day applications, etc.......... Its just dumb, dumb, dumb.......no study required.

Shunning ? did JEHOVAH shun Satan ?

by smiddy in

i don`t know if this has been addressed before , however it appears there is an inconsistency and a big one at that with the practice of shunning with jw`s.

elders / ministerial servants look out for the spiritual health of the congregation , and if they see something they feel is detrimental to the spiritual health of the congregation they are going to act to rectify it, .

they take appropiate action where they think is necessary .

daringhart13

He didn't even shun his OWN apostate people of Israel..

Comical how anyone can say shunning is taught in the Bible. Couldn't be easier to prove as a lie.
