TO ANSWER WHY WE WENT TO KINGDOM HALL TO EAT!

hello to everyone today.

some of you asked why in the world we go to the kingdom hall to partake of the emblems at memorial when we don't believe in them anymore?

was it just to cause an irritation?

JUSTAMOM

Who said we interupted ANYTHING? We went in peacefully and left peacefully.........

Question:
To the pharisees and Jewish system that felt they were the true religion and Abrahams seed....Do you think Jesus was showing TRUE love by telling them "their form of worship was unacceptable and false to its power. That they were hypocrites, shutting up the kingdom, concerned with the LAW over LOVE and that their temple was going to be destroyed.??"

Maybe not to them AT THE TIME obviously but it was ONLY LOVE that motivated him to beg and plead and die for them.

Just wondering..

Hello JBean and thank you for your kind response

I put THIS thread up in response to the other one as to the question, "Is ANYONE really welcome at the memorial?" There were a lot or views on this.

But we are truly blessed in that Jah through his son opened our eyes and NOT ONLY showed us their error, but showed us the real truth and where to go.

I may not have time to finish as I am getting ready for work but I will finish later. You may email me ANYTIME. I am here for you.

Four years ago we started seeing a lot of weird things happening to friends that had professed to be of the anointed. They would write into the society, call them and share "food at the proper time" as they as domestics help make up the faithful slave class.
Unfortunatley some of the things they were writing were not in full agreement with the society and therefore the society was either caling them "apostates" or "pushing ahead."
That bothered me as I always suported the anointed to furnish ME with spiritual food and trusted them. Why the division NOW.
So I started reading and praying like never before. I asked "WHY" Jehovah, please do not let me be misled. Show me what is happening. I trust you! "Show me the BIG PICTURE!"

When I read the Bible I started reading it apparantly not knowing at the time that the holy spirit was teaching me truly. I knew I had read it before, but never in this light. I heard a voice in my heart say, "Do not trust in nobles nor in earthling man to whom NO salvation belongs." I thought I hadn't before this.
Also, I heard, remember Solomon, "To the making of many BOOKS there is NO end and the studying of them is wearisome to the flesh." ECCLESIATES 12:12,13
WOW! The society publishes a BOOK for every subject. And explains it's meaning from THEIR point of view. Books, magazines, booklets, tracts, etc.......

I remember the society taught that the Watchtower magazine is NOT inspired...although it is where we receive our latest "food at the proper time" Inspired life-saving food from a magazine that is un-inspired. That really didn't make sense now. Not being inspired opens the way for "mistakes" "opinions that become doctrine".

When I realized this and starting reading and listening to the spirit for what it said and not allowing man to teach me, I too found division and error.

I knew at this time my husband and I must share with our brothers what we see and are reading. BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!

I, being ignorant, felt we as pillars in the hall and strong JWs had some credibilty to our words. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!
At least I felt they would see even if they could not agree.

Well, that opened up the can of worms called, "Apostates" and I will finish this afternoon. Thanks

Have a great day

JUSTAMOM

Hello again....

DEAR JOSEPH: Thank you for the advice. On many occasions we wonder, "WHY BOTHER?" They will never hear it.
And on many occasions we have used the WTBS mentality to try and support "truth" We have called, even written the societies so-called anointed, the legal and writing committees. We have tried to make personal visits to our families. Yes, at least to this point it has looked like "to no avail" but that is not entirely true. They will NEVER be able to look back and say, someone did not try and show them. Also, many question in their hearts and from time to time we never know when the father may draw them and something they heard "clicks" Remember ROMANS 10:14-15

So this is why even though for the minute it may seem like nothing is sinking in. But I do have faith that EVENTUALLY to someone, LOVE will conqueor!

Have a great day

JUSTAMOM

Hello to everyone today

Some of you asked why in the world we GO to the kingdom hall to partake of the emblems at memorial when we don't believe in them anymore? Was it JUST to cause an irritation? Or what?

Well let me answer PLEASE.

Whether or not it caused an irritation was NOT our intention. It was obvious that it did though. Why then you ask?

1. My husband and I were born and raised INSIDE the org, our whole life of almost 35-37 years. Married in the kingdom hall, both sides of family are witnesses, we pioneered, housed circuit and district overseers, gave public talks, and talks on the assembly program. Had bookstudy and meeting for field service at our homes and welcomed any and all! SO YOU SAY.....

Well EVERYONE WE LOVE AND KNOW are inside. They are our people and family "Israel." Those that profess to be Jehovahs true people, the true religion of today. So.... whenever Jahs people have left him as a whole, profaned his name and covenant (left it), someone HAS ALWAYS been used to help SHOW THEM.

The spirit of Jah that dwells in us moved us to try and HELP our loved ones and friends. The scriptural you could say, mission:

EZEKIEL chapter 3,
DANIEL 11: 31-35
JOHN 6:48-58
JEREMIAH chapter 7

So we went to try and show them the important danger of what they have overstepped and how they in denying the covenant causes THEM to commit "apostacy."

As to whether they "hear or refrain then" puts the responsibilty upon their shoulders and not mine. I am bloodguilt free. At various times we continue to try and reach our family and show love to them, but still to no avail.

You may have you own opinions about this. But my love for my family and my Lord compelled us to do this.

And to answer the latter part. YES we do partake regularly AT HOME with our children. That is where we worship also by "following the lead of our lord" walking by faith and no longer by man, and understanding truly how Jah does not dwell in handmade temples anymore but inside "people" as the true temple today.

So that is .....the rest of our story!

Hope you all have a great day

IS EVERYONE REALLY WELCOME TO THE MEMORIAL?

by JUSTAMOM in

hello to everyone this memorial season...... yes another memorial season is upon us and a lot of talk and questions as to: how many will eat and drink?

what will be the number?

or is it finally going down?.

JUSTAMOM

Hello to everyone this memorial season…..

Yes another memorial season is upon us and a lot of talk and questions as to: How many will eat and drink? What will be the number? Is it going UP? Or is it finally going DOWN?
To most of us on the outside now who have finally seen the WTBS for what it REALLY is, it may not really matter any more.

But to those that support the organization and think that the kingdom halls are REALLY “public meeting places” and that ALL are truly invited to the memorial, let me share this with you ALL.

A question was asked by writerpen as to those that have been disfellowshipped and attend the memorial and whether or not the emblems are passed to them….
Some replies are that they are always welcome and that of course the emblems would be passed.

Well, I would like to enlighten you ALL with regard to this.
MY husband, who ate and drank for 10 years inside the org, myself, and three sons who some of you know us from the board in the past, went to the memorial last year and started to enter into the kingdom hall. A brother was at the door waiting for us and told us that if we entered we could expect the worst. They would call the authorities and have us removed. Just then, the PO and another elder came out and told us we were NOT welcome and that it was private property and that if we tried to come in they would call the police.
I said, “ This ISN’T a public meeting facility?” They said, “Yes, it is, but not to us.”( this took place 2001, in the U.S.A. northern California, Mt Shasta cong of JWs.)
So we told them we would peacefully take our leave.

The year prior, we attended the memorial after we had been disfellowshipped. We ate and drank when the emblems were passed and that was what caused this reaction this time. They were NOT going to have it again. Us coming in and sitting among them and dare to partake of something THEY feel we should not partake of.
We preach that yes it is a personal matter between the individual and Jehovah.

Friends that is a LIE LIE LIE and you ALL know it!
They DO NOT and WILL NOT have ANYONE now partake and enter into this covenant. There are MANY who want to because they KNOW it is scriptual and the invitation is open to them at JOHN 6:48-58. It is the means by which we are to have everlasting life. They feel this calling but fear of what this organization will say and do to them prevents them from doing so.
So, they do exactly what the Pharisees did by “shutting up the kingdom” and the covenant to those that are Israel. Which is exactly what Jehovah’s Witnesses call themselves.

So, I wanted to share this to any and all who might take it to heart and once again see just far these people as a whole have gone to leave Jah and reject an open covenant of everlasting life.

To possess "perfect love" what an awesome fruitage to reach out for. If only I could display it more often. I will pray for it.

Is 1914 date flawed?

by badboy in

jw
friends

reasoning from the scriptures says on pp95-97 that months consist of 30 days.. years therefore would be 360 days long.. i have calcaluted(sic)that for every year in the `western'calender such a 360 day calender would fall 4/5 days depending on whether it was a leapyear or not.

now over a period of 2520 years,a 360 day calender would be 9,940 days behind a 364/5 day calender(25 years!

) therefore 2520 years according to book of daniel would fall in 1889!.

JUSTAMOM

Hello

Yes 1914 is the biggesr crock....In their history of arriving upon 1914, this was by pyramidiology something they later learned to be demonic therefore did away away with it. BUT they kept the date. GO FIGURE!!!!

Christ BEGAN his rule when he said "ALL authority in heaven and earth has been given me." Matthew 28:18 How much authority does one need to be reigning?
That started when he ascended back to his father 40 days later.

The famous scriptures the WTBS uses to prove "HE SAT" til 1914 is Psalms 110:1,2.... Yes, he says "SIT at my right hand" Doesn't mean he is not reigning as he is sitting.
Notice he says "til I place your enemies as a stool for your feet."

NOW read 1 Corinthians 15:25. "He would RULE as king until ALL enemies are put under his feet."

So....
He was ruling as he was sitting...

If he was waiting acording to the WTBS til ALL enemies are under his feet then.... technically he IS STILL NOT KING. Cause the LAST enemy is "death" is it not? And we are still awaiting its destruction. Being thrown into the "lake of fire."

It is quite simple my friend
May you have peace

Who are the true worshippers of God?

by AGuest in

jw
friends

may you all have peace!

(yes, i know i am starting a new thread when one already exists, but most of you know me by now...).

the 'true' worshippers of god are those that worship him... in spirit... and in truth.

JUSTAMOM

Amen my sista:

Hows it goin????

For anyone that may be lurking or new here that is asking, seeking, or seeing that what they have been taught their whole life inside the organization is starting to crumble.

They (the WTBS) call themselves "the truth." The ONLY VISIBLE way to Jehovah.
You have been misled!!!

There is only ONE truth, YES. But it is HE, the Christ that we must turn to to lead us as our shephard.
Pray for holy spirit to come upon you to lead you and teach you.
Truth doesn't keep changing as do doctrines of the WTBS.

Entering into the new covenant and coming into union with our Lord is not JUST for 144,000, it is for ANYONE. John 6:48-58
As ALL of Israel were in the covenant, but AMONG them were the priests. If you want to "live forever" (have life in yourselves) as the WT promises then you MUST "eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood." John 6:53

By continuing to "load down the flock" with heavy burdens and laws that THEY themselves make and refuse to carry.......
and prophecy continually dates, times and seasons that do not come true.....
by "shutting up the kingdom" by not allowing sheep to enter the covenant by eating AND DRINKING.....
by NOT showing the TRUE identifying mark of LOVE......
by JUDGING, not showing MERCY, COMPASSION or FORGIVENESS......

They make themselves "Pharisees" that have hearts that are "white washed graves" and inside "dead mens bones."

EZEKIEL 34 and JEREMIAH 23

They make themselves "false Prophets" that are "blind guides."

May you have peace and blessings

Follow up to "This Generation"

follow up to this generation!.

to all those who pray the prayer let your kingdom come in sincerity will soon experience a beautiful park-like paradise earth!

it is known from scripture that at various times throughout history jehovah god himself has spoken from the heavens.

JUSTAMOM

Hello Bill Parker:

My dear brother. That is a whole lotta "kool-aid" to be gulpin down at once. At least swallow in-between the poison.

My dear one, you continue to alow yourself to be misled...
This info on the "generation" is NOTHIG NEW. A few changed words to try to cover-up the false predictions that continue and it sounds convincing.

All the scriptures you quoted are excellent I must say! And YES, they do apply. Only not as your have it, "to the world"...They apply as always to ISRAEL. Thats who the prophets were talking about. Those supposedely that "belonged to Jah" and had left him. Apostate Israel as a WHOLE.
So when making this application, you CANNOT apply it to the world, but instead to "WITHIN" your own people who call themselves Israel, but do not NOT only live under 'the new covenant' they are NOT even ALLOWED to be in the covenant. What blaphemey on their part!
If this organization professes to be "THE TRUTH", to possess the "priests", to be the "covenant" (only a few which is NOT scriptural my brother) then everything that applies to Israel MUST apply to the WTBS!

Please do not allow yourself to continue to be led by man and "trusting in them" where there is NO salvation! Psalms 146:3

Instead there is ONE TRUTH and is he at John 14:6 and John 5:39&40!
Come to him. Matthew 11:28-30
