What is your standing in a congregation if you're a man of 40 and never married?

by dgp in

on a different thread (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/211210/3/my-life-well-the-first-part-at-least.

someone commented that.

as a sister especially you are nothing when not attached to you husband.. this made me curious.

Witness My Fury

I aint bloody gay and I fall into this category. ...Sisters want a "spiritual man" and I was never spiritual enough or so it seemed, titles like pioneer, MS, Elder go along way evidently. (I was an MS for several years but moved cong and wasn't made MS in the new hall, then moved again, then some politics in the hall got in the way and an elder kept blocking me being MS again)

I basically put my life on hold thinking the end was nigh and felt "so what if I get to be 40 and still single, in the greater scheme of things it won't matter".. Now, I am obviously pissed that I felt this way knowing now that it's all BS.

I'm good looking and a masculine chap, not some desk weed who could swing either way. What i mean by that is that some men do look effeminate and I certainly do not. (yes i know being gay has little to do with how you look ffs) At the moment I'd love a relationship but having just left "the truth", but it not being official in the cong, then my chances are nil with any JWs and tbh the last thing I need or want is a relationship with a JW, plus i cant start a proper one with a non JW without getting DFd pronto, so this is going to be on hold until i get myself sorted out a bit more. I'm basically going to have to move away and start over if I want to keep my family which sucks.

As to your question about status in the cong, then I am (or was) well liked and respected, no one makes an assumption in thinking I might be gay afaik. Though i'm sure it must get a mention and i'd be stupid to think it wouldn't. However when i was about 26ish one old stupid elder got it into his head i must have something wrong with me because i wasnt married and didnt have a girlfriend and basically insinuated that I was gay. The other elders had to sort him out on that one the stupid old pervert that he was.

Still doesn't get it does he. Nice change of personality on display there too no doubt for the benefit of the JW lurkers hoping that he comes off as "the victim" here and garners simpathy. (if you are a lurker, he's been quite unpleasant about you on here btw).

He's also very deliberately downplaying the significance of the year 607 making it sound as though it's no big deal and so what if it's a year or two out, again hoping to swing the lurkers and distract.

So lets just set this straight again then:

607 is intrinsically linked to 1914 as the supposed start and end years of the 7 times of Daniel = 2520 years. So much so that when it was realised that there was no year 0 between BCE and AD years they shifted the previously published date for the fall of Jerusalem back from 606 to 607 so as to KEEP 1914!!. (duh)

1914 is directly linked to the claims of authourity of the Governing Body as being chosen by Christ in 1918 / 1919 as his sole channel on earth.

Take this "fact" away and they have no authority and are in fact false prophets claiming false authority.

Mr Eggnog is skilled in the dark arts of bluff and bluster and a healthy dollop of subterfuge too.

Examples: His mention of the fact that Ann needed Whistons English translation of Josephus seems to give the impression he is reading direct from the Hebrew. He isnt and cant. Earlier he vaguely gave the impression he could be a CO in passing. These little tricks are just that, tricks and many more besides. We aren't fished in, make sure you aren't too.

What would you say to a friend who claims to have experienced demons?

by InterestedOne in

jw
friends

my jw friend says she experienced demons act on their own behalf even before she became a jw.

she supposedly used to be an atheist, but her experience with demons led her to believe in the "spiritual realm" before she ever encountered jw's.

she says her ex-boyfriend & his friend used to do the ouija board & as a result have a demon following them around.

Witness My Fury

Slightly OT but I find it ODD that being mute or epileptic or otherwise mentally ill in the accounts of Jesus in the bible are attributed to demons and are "healed" by exorcism, ....but being blind or other physical defomities is down to plain old sin and nothing to do with demons.

It never made any sense to me as a born in JW and still doesnt.

Ann kudos to you for showing up this idiot and your excellent input and for continuing to engage with this fool.

I read his latest jibber jabber and it's the same old same old, dodge, change the subject, avoid, twist the point, twist the scripture, insult, avoid, confuse, accuse, change the subject rinse and repeat...

There's no reasoning with this fool, so i'm not wasting a second of my life bothering until he shows some common sense which so far he has stubbornly refused to do so due to his great ego and pride rather than any actual FACTs to back up his claims.

Trying to delink 1914 from 607 in post 409 above is just insulting the intelligence of everyone reading his drivel. This is his MO and i'm done with it. He's nothing more than a troll.

Just bought "Diving Plan of the Ages"......Is there anything you can direct me to in the book?

by drewcoul in

i happened to find a studies in the scriptures volume of "divine plan of the ages" on ebay.

i was able to get it for about 12 bucks.

i should have it in a few days.

Witness My Fury

That's volume 1 right? Volume 2 is more about 1914 etc afaik. That's why I read Volume 2.

However I'm sure it will have stuff in yours re 1914 just not in the detailed "proofs" given in volume 2...

The diving gags been done, so I'll shutup now.

How should I respond to a JW friend? (Australia)

by summerinvincible in

jw
friends

sorry if this isn't the right place to post this - brand new member here.. i recently caught up with an old friend who is a jw.

she's been witnessing to me, and i've accepted all her handouts because i don't want to hurt her feelings.

but now she's asking me for my "thoughts" about what i've read so far.

Witness My Fury

1914 is the whole foundation of the religion and any claimed authority that the Governing Body gives to itself.

1914 is a can of worms the majority of witnesses never really get to grips with and those that do most will exit the JWs once they see it's bogus.

If you haven't already ask how they arrive at 1914. What she wont tell you is that they have had to shift historical facts back by 20 years to arrive at the 607BCE date for the destruction of Jerusalem, she may well be unaware of this.

I'm PMing you a link for your own research and that you can send to her once the ball is rolling. (do the double checking of PMs as there's a glitch with it here)

1914 signifigance

Yeah but if we play voodoo numerology on it we get 2015... ooooooooh, aaaarrrrrg, gasps followed by stunned silence.....

Now lets play with those numbers some more in a predetermined though round about way so as to impress on the the weak minded my prowess with numbers:

2015 comes from 1914, if you have to ask how then you are below thick on the Thickter scale.

Also of note is 1874 which became 1975 but not in the same way 1914 becomes 2015 as that would just be too easy, but the connection is CLEAR, thats right followers,.... 40 years.

And Lo, 40 years must pass from 1874 til 1914 (aka The Bitter Disappointment). This was a test of faith and many failed, mainly because they werent given advance warning they had a test to sit thru and so hadn't done any revision or prepared for it, some didnt even turn up not knowing the day or the hour of their test. A fair and righteous God we serve!

Thusly 40 years must pass from 1975 (aka Your Taking the PISS now) til 2015. This again was another unscheduled and suprise test inflicted by our all loving God. Many failed and will be executed as unworthy. Hail our loving God.

So there you have it chaps, CONCLUSIVE proof that 2015 is the BIG ONE. But it might just be another test, ONLY our all loving God knows and he aint tellin....(except me, because i'm special and hear voices)
