'Respect Jehovah's Authority' .................thanks dan and dmouse
dan im wondering how many other ppl it will be a watershed for
your gonna love it dmouse....gaurenteed motivation to submit out of fear
im not sure what its called..but the newest video release really did it for me.. its about moses and those who rebeled and how they were destroyed.
its was not as subtle as others before that ive seen .they make no bones about it ,your not left to come to conclutions, the discussion bit at the end makes it quite clear that in dealing with wts your dealing with the eqivalent of moses and shows a lovely destruction sequence of how your gonna die if you ever question the wts authority in any way .. which is amazing since moses never once made a prophecy or promise without it happening he made prophecys that all came true ....showed amazing power via god ...had visions of god and met god himself on a mountain (glowy face etc).most imporatantly god didnt do these thinsg in secret he did them infrount of the isrealites so they had proof for themselves the moses was right.
wts failed prophecys , no visions ,no word form god,everything invisible not seen so no one a can see proof the wts is right .

the ultimate taboo of being a jw is the unforgivable sin, a direct action of going against the leadings of the holy spirit.
did this used to bother you, and do you think you are seen by jw's as having committed it?
for instance, is apostasy the only occurance of it, or in you opinion would it include adultery etc.
they said it didnt count as i wasnt in the truth when i did it
yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.
i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.
as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?
is it possible for members to claim part of the societys assets since they created it with thier own money?

which is amazing since moses never once made a prophecy or promise without it happening he made prophecys that all came true ....showed amazing power via god ...had visions of god and met god himself on a mountain (glowy face etc).most imporatantly god didnt do these thinsg in secret he did them infrount of the isrealites so they HAD PROOF FOR THEMSELVES THE MOSES WAS RIGHT
WTS failed prophecys , no visions ,no word form god,everything invisible not seen so no one a can see proof the WTS is right . no proof of leadership given to the WTS by god
giving people proof of who his workers are doesnt seem to be a problem for jehovah at all.
all through the bible even with jesus he gave proof to people that this person is indeed who he says he is hes no another nutcase ...... yet somehow the WTS is above proof
i failed to see the comparision between the 2 at alll.
kingdom melodies did it for me everytime.. i tired so hard not to have uncharitable thoughts about the ppl who wrote the tunes and words to the kingdom melodies.
there were about 2 that i could stomach.. the rest were so totally uninspiring and mechanical.. .i can say that apart from maybe 2 i didnt get any up lifting joy from them.. elders complained that ppl wern't learning the tunes and singing properly.they got realy irritated over it .but i really really hate the dam songs .
eveyone sounded totally joyless
as some of you know, my main form of transport is a motorbike, and having just got a new one, i'm really enjoying it.
however, i find that in my local supermarket i have no advantage as to speed and maneuverability.
all the trolleys are the same.
whats the score for little old ladies who bash your legs with the trolley?

we keep in mind peter's words: "it when you are doing good and you suffer, you endure it, this is a thing agreeable with god.
that was great
it really said what i was feeling but couldnt quiet put my finger on.
the subtle subtle suggestion year after year .that just didnt feel right

a news byte from the beacon journal (local & state news).
<...> about 4/5 down the page.
doesnt sound like patrticipation sounds like advertising. the other JW's were prob there to witness after and get some names and adresses.
did you where black?
the last sentence in paragraph 14, chapter 4 in the new book being studied, " worship the only true god.".
"our faith will be evident from the conviction with which we tell others about this magnificent gift from god.".
it seems to me that a better thought would be, "our faith will be evident from the way we live our life and the way we treat our fellow man.".
filling in the time, sheets counting up the hours .what away to declare your faith
felt like being at school again .
did you ever tell any non JW that you filled in a time sheet evrry time you spoke to them ?.
i kept mine hidden. i was to embarresed to tell ppl .that when ever i mentioned jehovah to them i scribbled down 10 minutes on my time sheet. i began to see ppl as minutes on a time sheet.was like trying to score points with god.
but then doing good deeds became to be like a propaganda exercise. i knew i was only encouraged to do them by WT articles so i could mention jehovah or helping someone out had to be with the purpose of witnessing so they would join the society .in the end i felt like i was being dishonest about the reason i was helping..
now i do somthing cause i feel moved to help :) not because ive got an alterior motive
