Life advice to pass on ...

by free2beme in

jw
friends

i was thinking.

if i died today, what advice would i want my children to know after i am gone.

ever think about that, if so, then add on.... 1. know in life that people will always tell you their side of the story, and when they do they will always be the hero and everyone else the villian.

you cant please everyone----so best just to please yourself

Conversation I had with Elder, "It's Ok To Lie If they don't deserve the truth!" Who created this dogma?

by AuntConnie in

what is the origin of "theocratic warfare" and jehovah's witnesses being able to freely life if they feel it's for the "greater good" of the watchtower?

i asked the elder if jesus christ ever lied, he said "yes, jesus refused to answer questions from people!

" can you show me where this is in the bible?

eight constipated old men!

you know this for certain ? have you any evidence ?

Do you detect an underlying sadness ?

by Phizzy in

jw

whenever i talk to jw's, and even in some of the jw official videos, i detect a definite vibe of sadness coming off these people.. i am very sensitive to "atmospheres" and to peoples emotional state, you wouldn't think so, because more often than not i do not react to what i detect, i just let people get on with it.. but i do get this feeling that they are sad, probably because very, very, very deep down they realise that it is all false, maybe ?.

bigmac

its sad to think god isnt going to kill everyone in my lifetime.

i just knew it was too good to be true.

photo snaffled directly from stephen lett's desk.

the society has received a lot of letters complaining about c t russell having been demoted from being a member of the faithful and discreet slave.

in response to that, the society will be announcing at the forthcoming agm that the new modern style contribution boxes will be installed worldwide from 1 january 2014 especially to mark the 100th anniversary of jesus' invisible kingdom rule from 1914 and to give due recognition and honour to brother russell for his invaluable contribution in revealing this identifying feature of the true religion, which all truth-loving jw's continue to cherish and boldly preach.
