If God exists and ordered a Purge how would you react?

by sabastious in

the reason why god killed everyone in the days of noah was because of the demons who came to earth.

according to the story their direct presence and impact on us had a poisening effect.

we became corrupted and god felt the need for a total purge.. that's what the witnesses say is happening today.

Imagine it's Christmas Eve. You're tucking your children into bed, and of course they're excited about Christmas. You tell them they better be good and go to sleep; then Santa will bring them gifts. But if they're bad, Santa will sneak in their room during the night and stab them, and other children will get to play with their toys.

Isn't that sick? How different is it from the teaching that God has been standing by watching centuries of human suffering, and doing nothing about it, and that at his "own appointed time" he is going to kill all the bad people and let the good people live in paradise.?

Not much anyone can do. Except maybe wonder why it hadn't happened sooner?

Yay! Finally 2 Jdubs at my door.

by cyberjesus in

so i was posting on the forum and 2 neatly dressed jws came.

they didnt know who i was so i opened the door.... .

they started with their regular fear inspiring statements that god will destroy the "world", so i asked if he was gonna destroy me..... and thats where the fun started.

They always have to arrange for a return visit. "Why don't I come back at this same time next week and show you the answer to that question."
I'm glad you said, "Why not show me the answer right now?" ha ha

We can say, "Why not show me the answer right now? What if Armageddon comes before next week?"

May 22, 1969 Awake! promises "you will never grow old" - Creative Writing

by Mad Sweeney in

the year is 1969. faithful followers of the watchtower society are gearing up for the imminent end of the system of things just as they had been for the previous ninety years.

a young witness named andrew is trying to decide what to do with his life.

andrew is a smart kid and he has an entire lifetime ahead of him.

Great story! Sadly, it is not fiction. There are thousands of people who make up the "Andrew class". The Andrew class are those who listened to the Jeremiah class and the Jonadab class...

If Witnesses Really Cared......

by metatron in

jw

being "in" a religion and actually believing its doctrines are two different things.

i have little doubt that there are probably many leaders in the major religions who are actually agnostics and simply go thru the motions of being faithful to whatever ritual is asked of them.. this is possible because most religions put forth some effort to help people in some organized way - whether soup kitchens, public charities, hospitals or the like.

it gives people who are zealous - but privately heterodox - a chance to be supportive.. sadly, this will never be the case with the "truth".

snakeface

You're right. The witnesses DO help "wordly"people in some cases. For example, after natural disasters brothers go to devastated areas to help their fellow believers. Afterward they help other people.

However, their reason for helping the others is so that it will make a good witness. True Christians show unconditional love to their fellow humans. The church I now attend - and most others that I know of - for example, feed the homeless on Saturdays, knowing full well these people probably have no intention of joining the church.

Assemblies

i was raised a jehovahs witness from birth, but even as a little child i had my doubts.

that's why i was never baptized.

i believed in jehovah but i just thought it was somehow a load of bullshit.

I've always hated assemblies too. They were WAY too long! The material could be covered in a WT study article rather than incoveniencing everyone. It is so difficult for the elderly, the handicapped, people with babies or small children, to travel and sit in those cramped seats all day. An entire day's worth of material could be covered in a one-hour WT study.

Ran into not One, not Two, but THREE elders at the same time!

by Soldier77 in

so i'm out doing some shopping at the supermarket and as i'm walking to the checkout, i see my so and his wife (in full fs attire) talking to someone just past the checkout registers.

i am looking for the furthest checkout at this point making sure not to be noticed by the so or his wife.

well, just my freakin luck, there is only one checkout open.

Just shun them!

Does anyone out there understand how i feel?

by TimothyT in

my name is tim, im 23, from the uk, and im currently a jw!.

ok... to cut a long story short... i love serving jehovah but ive begun now to embrace my sexuality as a gay man.. although im still attending the meetings, praying to jehovah and trying my hardest, i can no longer lie to myself about my sexuality.. i have had enough of feeling depressed and confused now - its killing me!!!.

does anyone else know what i feel like?

snakeface

(((((Welcome, Tim!)))))

The words, "Love your neighbor as yourself," show that you need to love yourself. Loving yourself includes knowing yourself and being yourself. If you view life as a gift, you will not waste it, but rather, you will live it to the fullest.

No Part of The World Circuit Assembly Highlights

by DavinciCodeBreaker in

well this past weekend was pretty much as predicted, the demonstrations were probably the worst i have ever seen.

you know the ones i mentioned on a post last week where in the middle the participant has a sudden epiphany!

here is a sampling of just a few.. .

We should have our circus assemblies, with our own themes. "No Part Of The Org." And songs, such as "To Whom Did We (really) Belong?"
