Muslims know of Christ. They believe he was the great prophet sent to the Jews (to whom the Jews didn't listen).

So we need to preach by phone, letter writing Monday nights, go out during the week, saturday mornings and afternoon, sunday afternoon blah blah blah. Never once commended the cong. but ended the talk with don't we want to be called "good and faithful slave"?
Lol!!!!!! Someone should tell that fellow, no one can earn their way to salvation. With man, WTBTS, or the GB its not possible. Also, returning to places where it's evident no one is interested in being bothered with you is dumb. Vomit returners.
And fisherman don't go out at night. Early morning yes, but night, no. -

Break a promise okay with watchtower?
by punkofnice in15:4. unless we come to the realization that we have made an unscriptural promise, we should do all we can to fulfill our word, even if it is very difficult to do so.

An unscriptual promise is telling people if they hang out with only you following your crazy unscriptual rules, they can make it into a paradise earth.

The problem with some people is they aren't satisfied with living their lives, they want to live yours too.
Don't allow it, live your own life and raise your own family. The parents have already had their turn, it's your turn now.
Leave so you can have peace to raise your kids.

Everyone is Equal in God's Loving Organization
by new boy inthey said we are all the same in god’s eyes.
that everyone is equal.
to prove this they call everyone “brother and sister.” sadly, this really isn’t the case.

Lol, Peony, he did for a time. Then you read where, "they've all left me". Too needy in prison, I suppose. (Could someone leave home, travel 500 miles to bring me a pen and paper?) Particularly when everyone else's families were being killed or fed to lions at the time. -

Not the Author of Confusion

I find Christ quite simple and non confusing. No stupid rules, no intrusion into every minute detail of one's life, love God, do good to others. How hard is that?
I find Christian groups to be a bunch of fools when claiming their way is the only true and right way. Rules out the behind, judgement of everyone of another group, hostile and plain mean sometimes. Certain points in history, outright murderous.
Christ had "a way", not you ... and we can read about it for ourselves.
With most organized religions it's about having power over others. Christianity today is no different. So yeah, confusion galore.

Yeah, we know. Its a big lie. Nothing new with organized religion, it's been that way since the originals died and Western nations got a hold of it; it was made in the form of their societies, hierarchical.
Try pulling a Paul with the JW GB ... It would be the fastest exit from a building in human history.

Adam buried at the foot of Christ's cross. Are you kidding me.
by James Mixon ini heard this on "the story of god".
his blood trickle down through the rocks into adam giving.
him life.

Lol, why would anyone care about Adam's head first of all? And Shem was way too distant a progeny to have it or even know where likely Seth and Cain buried Adam.
Besides, the rest of his descendants, which was everyone alive, wouldn't let their ancestor be dug up just so one person could take his head from its original resting place. A resting place chosen by his sons.
Ridiculous!!!

Another generation....
by joey jojo init has been 21 years since the 1995 article that pretty much buried the idea of the '1914 generation'.. remember those guys?
the ones born in 1914 that would still be alive when the end of the system arrived.. i'm glad i'm old enough to remember going from door to door, preaching this belief.
the reason i say that is because i have a lot of 'still in' jw friends and family.

Remember: They HAVE to spin it.
If they throw out 1914, they aren't just throwing out "this generation". They are throwing out the whole kit n kaboodle.
1914 - Christ's "invisible" reign begins (after failed earlier visual rapture dates)
1914- "This generation" (Predicated on the start of invisible reign)
1919- Being picked to be God's special peeps on Earth. (Predicated on 1914 date)
Without those 3 things, the GB has absolutely ZERO claim to fame. They're trying to stretch the 1914 date as far as they are allowed. The "generation" has to be round to see all 'these things occur' (from the enthronement of 1914 to end).
What they're doing and why is quite clear to me.

Did you participate in a Drama?
by Hecce ini am bringing this up because even it was a lot of work, for the majority of the friends this was a rewarding experience.
camaraderie, joking, costumes, props and when the time came the celebrity status of being in the drama.. back in the 50s and 60s, conventions could be as long as 8 days and from about 1966 the dramas became an integral part of the program.
we had one per day and the brothers looked forward to their presentation.

Had a different part but always wanted to do a dress Bible drama. Those were the only things at conventions that kept young people from falling to their deaths from windows.
