  FDS says - "No need to check our work. Besides, it will only make God angry."

  2. bible

  though i no longer believe the fds is indeed appointed by god, i guess because of what has been taught to me all these years through the wtbts, i still make an effort to try and look at both sides.

  and then i come across this number below, which is how i arrived at my title for this thread.

  ***w81 2/15 p.19 do we need help to understand the bible?***.

  BU2B, scriptures do not mean what they say or apply in a logical way, as evidenced by the article in the opening post.

  The WTBTS interprets as they see fit and/or convenient.

  What do you mean?! I ALWAYS go to the beach after service and wear long pants and button up shirts while I play a game in the sand with my family! Sometimes I wear button up long sleeve shirts too!

  the wts likes to imply how jws should dress in and outside of the hall.

  you always want to set an example.. so i couldn't help but share this beauty in the january 15th, 2013, study edition of the watchtower.

  i always go to the beach like this!

  my van broke down before christmas.

  i could not even afford to have it "looked at", let alone repaired.

  so, i have been praying that god would somehow work this whole situation out.. .

  STT, I'm just glad your god ignored the poor and starving people in other parts of the world. Or do they just need to pray more, wait more, and have more faith?

  KM quote? Examining the Truth is bad?

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been looking for a quote that i believe was in a km, but i just have not found it yet.

  it was about examining beliefs.

  it was not the quote that said " study is hard work, bethel will do it for you.

  Shameless bump for a thread I started about one of the articles blondie posted.

  Read FDS says - "No need to check our work. Besides, it will only make God angry."

  Glad to be of service.

  What is your experience when you stop turning in time?

  by gingerbread in

  2. experiences

  for the past year or so, i've been turning in just one or two hours of service time.

  it has been mentioned to me from an elder "friend" that i'm never seen at any meetings for field service.

  i get his implication.

  Amazingly enough, I've never been spoken to since I stopped turning in time. It's been well over a year, maybe even two.

  I do recall during a shepherding call, the elders said they "missed" seeing me out in service. I was honest and said it was hard to go out and talk about something I wasn't confident in anymore.

  Since then it has never been brought up again, even in other subsequent visits.
