Are Jehovah Witnesses serving God with selfish or unselfish motives?
by dysfunction in

i was wondering if current jws are serving god with pure unselfish motives, or only with a view to eternal life?

if there was no such thing as life after death, or the paradise, and this is it, would they still serve god willingly?

recently after reevaluating everything, i realized that even if this is it, i will still love god for allowing me to live and enjoy life.

Latest SAD--More Higher Ed Bashing. Did you know it's one of Satan's False Refuges?

well, folks, this little mermaid just got back from the sad she had to attend w/her husband so as to keep a measure of peace (we're in the process of working out compromises...you know how it goes) i was pretty mad by the end of the day (thank god it ended at 4:00) mostly because i learned some new things that i would never have guessed in a million years.. did you know that satan is setting up artificial "refuges" as a counterfeit to jehovah's "true refuge"which is...his organization???

now satan's "false refuges" are pretty damn bad, like, for instance, "independent thinking.

" no, siree bob, we don't want none of that!!

my dad read something online that i posted and told the other elders (he's the boe coord.).

they've read me articles about homosexuality and tried to coerce me to stay with the family instead of living with my uncle for a week.

i went to my uncle's anyway.

Could Watchtower Collapse Be Sooner Than You Think?
by metatron in
1. jw
2. friends
there have been a number of developments over the past few months and they paint an interesting picture.. witnesses can keep dragging themselves to meetings ad infinitum however, the future of the watchtower itself is another story.

the evidence of continuing cash flow problems is now overwhelming.

if you talk to well placed witnesses, most won't deny it but simply blame it on the publishers financial problems.. they have cut off loans to congregations many of whom genuinely need new kingdom halls.

Children in Bulgaria - CANNOT BECOME MEMBERS

dear friends, .

on various fronts there has been much discussion on the children of jehovah's witnesses being pushed into premature baptism.

the statement that the society prepared for the european commission on human rights, however, is quite revealing.
