  Is there a slowdown in congregation get togethers?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just reading thelisteners post from an earlier thread, and it got me thinking just how little time dubs have to associate togther.. it seems to be more and more the fact, that the only time dubs see each other to "associate" - if you can even call it that - is at meetings and conventions.. even at conventions though, the dubs are told not to go outside for lunch, regardless of whether it is a nice day of not.

  (note, this may not be true at all conventions).

  where is a jehovah's witness supposed to get this period of refreshment so he can do more?

  How often do you see the Witnesses out on the ministry?

  by rory-ks in

  i only ask because i hardly ever see them out on the ministry.

  it is a very rare sighting to spot them actively engaged in the house to house ministry.

  or out on the street work, in the marketplace, etc.. the other reason i ask is because they are constantly pictured as being on the preaching work.

  http://www.upworthy.com/the-top-8-ways-to-be-traditionally-married-according-to-the-bible.

  this made me think, we hear so much about "traditional marriage" and living according to the morals in the bible, but marriage in the bible was quite different from what is practiced today.

  That's right Lisa. We have come along way.

  We husbands used to have multiple wives, too, but now women have become expensive.

  Do you pray over your meals? If so why? If not, when did you stop and why?

  by BU2B in

  to answer my question, no i do not pray over meals anymore exept for when i am with other jws i do a 15 second head bow for appearances sake.

  i just came to the realization god had nothing to do with whether i ate or not.

  many believers are starving right now whilst many non-believers are eating like kings.. also why should god give me food while he lets little children in dprk concentration camps starve to death.

  Faith and prawer go together. If you don't beleive in that form of communication with the Creator of food then prayer is a waste of time.

  I pray, but not before every meal. I don't pray in public, but in privacy. I appreciate the beauty, and the ability of our planet to sustain all forms of life, and I beleive in a Creator who has made this possible.

  That's just my personal comments

  law school is obviously not the hardest program to follow.

  it isn't something that can be replicated on the internet.

  a first year student can find the law.

  Sometimes I get burned out from this site. However, I do appreciate the updates and some topics. Some times a time out is what is needed.

  I have appreciated your legal insights to some of these, and hope that you come back.

  If Jesus is Michael, then why would he be afraid of Satan?

  by Pronger1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jude 1:9 shows that michael didn't dare rebuke satan.

  if jesus is michael, then why would he be afraid to do so?

  in matthew and mark it clearly shows that the demons were afraid of jesus..

  It doesn't seem to me that this restraint was based out of fear. It sounds more of a respect thing

  Well done, Blondie.

  Now and then, and it seems to be alot lately, the need for money has been hinted so many times. I seriously beleive that in the next few years there is going to be a mandatory monetary requirement.

  What they lack in accomodations, they make up for in their transportation
