The Diary of an Armageddon Survivor

by RAS in

jw
friends

i am not sure if anyone ever posted this but i thought it was worth sharing: (can anyone relate?).

the following is not fantasy, this is what we were taught to expect when we were jehovah's witnesses.. michael pendley .

day 1. well, the big a is over and i survived.

frigginconfused

Day one. Wake up and realize you made it. Go to local hall to se who else made it. Ride the streets and look for unbelieving survivors.

Week 2. All survivors are here and we need to decide what to do.

The plan is to go where the weather is temperate. Must be 20 miles away from any nuke powerplant or navy base.

no work is done. no farming. Just go to stores that sell good hiking gear and get to walkin.

Eventually we all feel a pull to a specific place. When we arrive we are greeted to some big city in what was canada. Its warm as florida there these days.

When we arrive at site you are given an aptitude test and asked what your interests and hobbies are. You will be shown a list of positions to be filled by people matching your personality type. You get to choose your job. NO assignments. Quickly infrastructure is brought back. There are plenty of materials to build a susstainable living cycle.

Some will be farmers. some will be teachers of children and some teach the resurected. For them its more like a debrief. Some will become priests.

Just as in heaven, everyone stays busy working on making a better universe. You will never be a slave. Your job will be a gift and will bring tears to your eyes because of the happiness you can finally enjoy.

I look forward to the day when elders are there by Gods choosing. The good ol boy club will be dismantled. Leaders will be loving and helpfull.

God's forced PLOT point (which just doesn't make sense!)

by Terry in

the bifurcation of christianity's dealing with the "plot" that drives god's "plan" is never more explicitly revealed as not logically reasoned out than when it comes to the "good" and the "evil" being judged.. what is the point in judging "evil" if god is going to simply call the same sinful, imperfect man "good" who confesses christ?.

it makes about as much sense as putting a zero on top of a zero and calling it 8.. justification is nothing more than calling evil "good" by reframing the context.

sin kills man.

Man is cousin to the angels. We are the same as angels except we are spirits manefested in flesh. This is how we were made to interact with the world. We werent created to fail. We werent pre determined to make these choices. Our cousins were jealous of us. They set us up in the garden. We coulda realized that we dont need advanced knowledge of the spirit world. We should be happy enjoying the word we can see and interact with. Not the hidden world beyond our eyes. But eventually somewhere, someone woulda had to peek.

Why must it go on for so long? The people that live through armegedon will look back after being alive for 10,000 years and see what weve gone through as a drop in a hat. In the consept of time we havent bee waitning that long. We must remember we are currantly trapped in a set life span. Like flies that only like a short time we are the same to god. The problem isnt him. Its were moving too fast to understand the scope of everything around us.

As far as goats and sheep.... goats arent as dosile as sheep. They would be the very ones to do greater good.. The sheep are people that follow easilly and with whole heart. They are just as important. But this stubborn goat is getting his ticket to paradise. Most goats wont make it out of pride. I am not easily swayed. But always open to new ideas. A goat if you ever saw one.

The Temple Prostitutes: Revealed!

by cameo-d in

some of you may remember an older thread i started about "fornication".

the word derrived from an archaic word which meant basically, 'something traitorous done between the arches'.

the arches represented the entrance to the temple.

Speaking of prostitues. Has anyone been to Adelida's in Tijuana? mmmmmmm mmm!

Is This God's Organization?

by monkeyman in

jw
friends

is this gods organization?.

after 50 yrs in, 25 as some type of servant in responsible position, i am beginning to wonder.. .

to me, gods organization should be exactly what the bible says.

frigginconfused

Can someone tell me why many people on here let man get in the way of God? If the WT and GB are doing things wrong why do we get mad at God? Why doesnt anyone stand up for themselves? So what about shunning and loosing familly. Real familly wouldnt stop talking to you because the church is mad. Why arent there more people challenging these things?

The dubs say they are the true religion because when apostates try to start another sect they always fail. I think they fail because too many of them have selfish motives. I think the JWs are the closest thing to the truth. But close isnt good enough. The hindu's and buddists are close too. Still dont make them the true religion. Why isnt there one true religion on this planet? Something easy to see and follow. I dont get it.

2012 Prophecy

by brotherdan in

now, i know that the 2012 issue has been blown out of proportion.

and i know all the reasons that believing in them are wrong.

but has anyone else noticed a growth in this type of conversation?

frigginconfused

I think something natural will happen. But not earth threatening. Im more focused on what the sun is doing these days. And the earths crust.

separating the sheep from the goats

by James_Slash in

i would say that the jw's are right on this subject.

however, i wouldn't be too comfortable if i was them in thinking that this is taking place within the congregation.. i would say that this is definitely happening where god is concerned.

he is obviously highlighting the paedophile problems and allowing this to take its course.

THE GLADIATOR

Once we have a definite opinion we stop examining other possibilities.

I always try to tell my JW mom this. People learn the "truth" and cling to it. All of a sudden they put blinders on. How can you be open to truth if you made up your mind that your sticking with your current beliefs?

I on the other hand have my beliefs. They are always up to be challenged and if someone makes a better point I immediatley switch my ideas. Thinking like this has allowed me to make huge spiritual progress.

Too bad the GB wants blind followers. Someone that searched and found for themselves is gonna be a stronger believer. And always being open to real truth will make you a more aware person.

What constitutes going to church?

by TJ - iAmCleared2Land in

i beg to differ!

it can be quite the spiritual experience!

.

Take a trip to the mountains and climb one. Look out over the planet that God made just for you. Feel awe. Enjoy the rest of the day. Thats church for me.

Jehovah correcting the organization

by sabastious in

read the account of moses taking the credit for the water provision miracle and that of king david's folly and his consequences.. ...read them.... ...you are still reading.... ...ok now you have that fresh in your mind.. jehovah had a correctional arrangement in place for all his spokesmen.

story of jonah would work great too.

the point being that in the bible god has always had this correctional arrangement for the leaders of his earthly organization.. that being said, where did that arrangement go?

frigginconfused

I dont like how people on here are acting like God is a murderer. I dont care if 10 billion people die. I will know that they were not lovers of brotherhood and love. The badguys should die. I would kill every one of them personally if I could read hearts.

Alice,

Good work! You got the reference.

(When the angels of death sweep over this planet how do they know to "pass over" you?”

. . .you may pick from the young rams or from the goats. And it must continue under safeguard by you until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it between the two evenings. And they must take some of the blood and splash it upon the two doorposts and the upper part of the doorway belonging to the houses in which they will eat it. Exodus 12:5-7

(Exodus 12:13) . . .And the blood must serve as your sign upon the houses where you are; and I must see the blood and pass over you , and the plague will not come on you as a ruination when I strike at the land of Egypt.)

Are you suggesting I slaughter a goat or a ram? Don't have any of those.

No you silly goose! Lol. Many of the things in the old testament are a model for the new one. Same themes. All you need to be holy is to be washed in the blood of the lamb. Jesus christ. To do this you must take him on as your lord and saviour. Like I said. Youre being disobediant by coming on an apostate site. This is not showing that you fully submit to his rule. No white robe for you, missy!

Seriously though, why do you come here? Have you been a witness long enough to know they forbid this? If so, what are you gaining by your disobediance? You wouldnt sacrifice your eternal soul just to go on a discussion board. So what is here for you thats so important?

As for me...I tested what they have to say. They are so close to the truth I see how they trap others. Most false religion is easy to spot the lie. But the WT looks very real at first glance on paper. When you go to pick the paper up the bear trap underneath snaps on you and before you know it youre trapped in their mind games. What better way to confuse the ones that really have a love for peace. So I can tra la la all over this site because Im not bound by the Governing bodies orders.

The Promised Land

by cameo-d in

why do most people not get the real gist of the story?.

they never got to the promised land.. it was always just a carrot dangling on a stick.. wasn't moses supposed to be god's favorite?

didn't moses waste 40 years of his life and everyone else's stomping around in a desert on a speculation?

frigginconfused

if you are right i need to test it. how can you prove this.
