  JW's being asked not to marry?

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok another poster just went to the two day assembly and i just went to the one day special assembly day sunday.

  at both of them it seems there was strong words against getting married.

  they had on the stage a group of young men about three of them an older sister who is not that attractive but she is really nice, of course not brother would give her the time of day, and this older brother who is in his 60's and nice but very strange.. they all went on and on and on about not getting married.

  i decided to update my resume and realized that i have to take out a couple of things.

  my pioneer school under education and bible instructor under volunteer experience.

  i can't believe i actually put those on there and got hired.

  I'd leave them in. Most good companies & even corporations like to hire people who have some 'public service' or 'charity' in their backgrounds. It tells them you care about something other than just yourself & you know how to talk to people. Plus it looks good when they decide to do some charity that you know what you are doing and aren't going to behave like a spoiled brat who doesn't wish to get involved in helping out.

  And if you can deliver the keynote address at some internal ceremony .... whoo hoo ... they really love you.

  I've done it and have gotten every last job I applied for.

  i guess you would have to be kind of old school to have met the guy.

  i've only met a current gb member before he joined.

  he seemed nice.

  I don't think the GB have "suffered" like those of the 1st Century. & the GB has too cushy a life to have ever "suffered "anything. [Well maybe the batteries dying in the remote control.]

  Now those folks over in various African countries whose villages get wiped out at machete blade (or imprisoned) for refusing to deny Christ ... those folks know the true suffering. Some Asian countries also & definitely some ME countries.

  In Western countries, folks have no idea what true suffering for refusing to deny Christ is about; specially not the US.

  Dubs - Paradoxes From Hell

  by Farkel in

  dubs - paradoxes from hell.

  jesus said his yoke was kindly and light.. dubs brag their religion is the "hardest religion in the world.".

  the bible tells children to honor their parents.. the wts tells children to betray their parents.. if dubs really live in a "spiritual paradise," why do their lives have to be threatened to stay in it?.

  Why is the bible silent on Lazarus?

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the only fully human man recorded to have been resurected from the dead and the bible says nothing.. the religious leaders of jesus day were all over people that jesus 'cured' etc, and the bible records these events.

  questioning them, the parents etc.. but lazarus?

  zip, nada, nothing save the account that he was resurected.

  My answer

  Just read John 11-12 ... the high priests were intending to kill Lazarus but too many in the village (probably the entire village) plus Jews who went there to console the sisters had witnessed what happened for the event to be questioned.

  today i was remembering how angry i used to get at the meetings and all the little irritations that in the end would just make my blood boil these included:.

  prayers that go on foreverstudy or wt conductors still taking comments when its clear that the point has been covered 20 times alreadymeetings over running by more than 5 minsmy favourite was this one elder who would play guess the point i am thinking of.

  he would keep rephrasing the question from the wt until someone would bring up the point he was thinking of.

  wha happened?

  That is also a biggie after actually reading the Bible and looking at the /apostles/disciples/elders therein position toward everyone else.

  The real and early Christian stance is quite different than the JW stance.

  If there is a God, is he an atheist?

  by DT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of course, any god would believe in himself, but would he believe in someone greater than himself?

  would he postulate an external cause for the realm in which he lives?

  you might expect that a hypothetical god would be all knowing, so he would know if there is another greater god, but he couldn't know if there is another realm that he doesn't and can't know about.

  God is God and according to the Bible has one mediator (his son) that he thought well of & appointed to such a position ... the men who want to be mediator are in the way & false. They didn't die for anyone's sins & they go against the arrangements. They're useless and not appointed to be in such a position.
