today my mom called me three times at work to tell me how "worried" she was about my spirituality.. i so wanted to tell her some ttatt but just said, "mom, i am fine spiritually.

if i am ever in trouble spiritually, i will tell you.

meanwhile, i would really appreciate it if you left my relationship with god a private matter.".

If Someone Says_______

' My minister said that Jehovah's Witnesses are false prophets '

You might reply : ' May I ask, Did he show you anything in the Bible that describes what we believe or do and that says people of that sort would be false prophets ?...May I show you how the Bible describes false prophets ? ( Then use one or more of the points outlined on pages 132-136.)'

Or you could say : ' I'm sure you'll agree that specific evidence should back up such a serious charge. Did your minister mention any specific examples ?' ( If householder refers to some claimed prediction that did not come to pass, use material on page 134, and from the bottom of page 135 to the top of 137.)'____Reasoning from the Scriptures Book page 137

LOL Jus' don't use the scripture deliberately omitted. Dueteronomy 18:21-22

cuz that's exactly what describes a Jehovah's Witnesses best

Prayers that God answers. Any examples?
by punkofnice in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
when i believed in god i tried not to pray for anything selfish.. after a while i began to think that a lot of things i was asking my imaginary friend in the sky for were selfish for some reason.. i do not ever remember a single thing i prayed for ever being answered.

if there was the appearance of an answer it was because i did mental gymnastics to make it fit the delusion that god had actually answered me.

there was never an obvious message/answer from god.

Hello Punky

I still ask why also, God is not supposed to be partial

but it seem he has his picks

.

.

I often see car plates that read " Favored "

I feel that the outward expression on a car plate

flies in the face of the less fortunate like an advertisement

April 2014 WT is up, more attacks on career and unbelieving family!
by EndofMysteries in

here are some highlights from the magazine.

the first article, "imitate the faith of moses", teaches how moses didn't remain in pharohs court, they then skillfully spin getting a decent paying job and career as equaling "enjoyment of sin", and how those who have "enjoyment of sin" will die at armageddon with everyone else who enjoys their job.

here are some quotes from the article.... "when tempted to engage in sinful conduct, ask, what future do i want for myself?....

Young people, take these treasured gifts ( talent ), but don't open it

Store these treasures in heaven.

.

.

Where accordin' to what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach , you will never use it

Because as your reward for your services, you will remain on earth in the new system

where you will be put though another test of loyalty

after you passed the first

.

.

And even then, you still won't get to use the treasures you stored in heaven.

because you'll be able to live in a paradise on earth

full of broken Promises

.

.

So don't expect beef tips and gravy, or ham

As for the little kiddies, don't you dare ask for a cheese burger in " Paradise "

Cuz it'll make Jehovah sad

.

.

Wives, don't look sideways at you husbands, don't even think about that former thing

for Jehovah will plucketh your eyes out

Because there's a ban on meat in " Paradise "

JWs are Quasi-prophets. The best of both worlds!
by Londo111 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
out of curiosity, i was taking a look at jw defenses email channel, in the discussion section.. one poster said: that article read in context is saying that the churches failed their privilege of being a prophet of god.

but jehovah's witnesses didn't.

if the 1972 wt is read with context then we can realize jw's are the prophet of god and not christendom, they had their chance.. jw defense says: keep in mind that in that article, when the word 'prophet' is used in reference to the witnesses, its always in quotations.
wasblind

LOL. Quasi- Prophets

They put thier right foot in when they made their predictions

then pulled the right foot out, when it didn't come true

.

.

Then turned it all about wit an overlappin' generation

.

That's called the Hokey Pokey

The Gall & Hypocrisy!!
by Simon Morley in

2. bible
just got a call from my daughter that she got word that the jw honeywagon (literature stand) has set up in the university she teaches at.

one (and there are many) of the reasons we left was due to the stance on higher education, she was persecuted by the elders for attending the very university they are now set up in.

my daughter eventually got a masters degree overseas and now teaches at the same unversity, is self sufficent and will not have to eke out some pittance of a living while fighting a very delbilitating health condition.

Unless you have a degree that can serve the WTS. It's from Satan

They don't need a " Philosopher " trynna tell the Boys in Brooklyn how to roll

and who needs the Philosophy of Jesus, or anybody else

When they claim to get the word straight from

Jehovah's mouth

.

But they do need Lawyers a plenty

Thanks Simon Morely

I suppose that Jehovah's Witness feels that his degree in philosophy is now a product of Satan's " independant thinking "

based on the line of reason from the WTS

.

.

' What is the origin of philosophies? '

" They come from people who have limitations : The Bible informs us : " It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step "

.

" They are developed by humans who are imperfect : " ( Because of such imperfection, human philosophies often reflect a basic selfishness that lead perhaps to monetary pleasure but also fustration and much unhappiness.) "

.

" They are influenced by demonic spirits : " The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one "_____Reasoning from the Scriptures Book pages 289-290
