Can "Wordly" people go to book studies?

by Double Edge in

jw
friends

never being a jwi have a question.

my dub friend invited me to her church (whatever) one sunday, which i of course i went - it was ok - nothing special, except i know what you mean about being "love bombed".

my question.... do any non-dubs go to the weekly bookstudies?

lydia

Yes - they can especially if it is one held at the hall

- But a bigger question needs to be asked

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I would encourage you to read some threads from the past and make sure you know what it is that you are getting into!

Everything is not as it is presented - the book studys are a lesson in Mind Control -

The paragraphs are laid out with a set of questions to ask for each that will encourage the responces they wish you to hear.

QUESTION EVERYTHING!!!

Once you are in they will not allow ANY QUESTIONING OF THE BORG!

Peace,

September 11, an opinion from Mark Price

today i am hoping very much that your anniversary of the twin towers catastrophe and the pentagon/pittsburgh goes well with all of you, god forbid, anything else happening today.

in some of my posts, it would appear to some that i might have a few problems with the american people.

this is not wholly true.

lydia

(((((Celty)))),

Thank you for you words of compasion and understanding towards this day - Last year I sat in horor andwatched as the towers fell to earth. Then I heard that yet another plane hd hit the Pentagon.

I thought - oh my - I live in between those two sites. My fears were realized when the 4th plane went down in Sommerset County Pa - only 2 hours from me.

I do realize how this has effected us in the USA, and I appreciate the feelings of the world - this was not a lone attack on the US - it attacked all th other countries too - by taking out not only US Citizins - but those of many other countrys too.

Today we face a world that is in turmoil with what to do with Terrorists.

I applaude the US and UK in their efforts to work to the riddence of Sudam. I too hope that this may be done with little cost to the people of Iran who haved lived under the Horrble Leadership.

May God Bless those who have dealt and are still dealing with the effects of this day.

Peace to all..

Radio Broadcast..Pledge of Allegiance

by dungbeetle in

jw
friends

i didn't know which forum to post this, so i just take the easy road and post it here.

there has been some discussion of this in several threads on the board, and so when i was asked to pass this around, i will do it here... .

internet radio broadcast .

lydia

I have to agree with Cowboy on this.....

I think that the Athiests have done enough of the this they are imposing their beleifs on those of us who are Christian.

They have tken Prayer out of Schools...one is trying to have a plaque that is inscribed with the 10 Commandments down from a wall where it has hung for over 84 years because it offends her -

I am a bit sick of hearing that - if it offends you so - don't look at it!

Maybe that father should take a lesson from the Borg (I don't believe I wrote that!) he should teach his daughter not to say that phrase - but to be rspectful of those that do.

Will he no longer use the money of this country to get his way because it has the words "IN GOD WE TRUST" written on it?? I doupt it - he will continue to use it.

I think he needs to do what he is trying to force us to do - teach his child about his beliefs at home .

"One Nation Under God"

Sorry but this really upsets me!

Talking to the dead

by Kep in

jw
friends

as the borg hammered us into thinking that anyone who had contact with the dead were in fact speaking to the demons, however, now we know that a lot of their teachings are full of sh*t.. i lost my dad at the start of this year.

a couple of months later i bump into a close friend who has known dad for many years.. this guy was stoked that he was getting married and mentioned how it was a shame dad wasn't around for the wedding.. yesterday i called in to see him and he told me something that had happened to him.. he was talking to his sister, who lives in another town, and she is active in some spiritual group.

she said she had never met jack, my dad, but that she has been talking to him and that he had a message he wanted given to this friend, her brother.. dad wanted him to get out of this relationship fast.. he never took it seriously and carried on as usual.. not long after that, this fiancee of his smashed up his 4x4, was on a restricted drivers licence and spent the money he gave her for his hire purchases.. so, his truck is wrecked, he can't claim insurance to get it repaired, he still has to pay it off, a lot of his possessions have been repo-ed and that basically he is in sh*t street without a shovel.. do you think it was a message from my dad ??.

lydia

I have no doupt that the dead can speak to us.
...and show themselves at times..
..I have had some experiences with it..
... and my sister did too
A few months ago she had a baby
- and one night she awaoke to see her husband standing holding the child....
.Only when she spoke to him he did not respond..
... she went to get up and realized her Husband was still in bed with her..
...It had been her father-in-law who died years before.
It freaked her out for a bit...
But then she calmed down ...
Just my thoughts..

Glad you are here... Look forward to chatting with you too...

Don't worry too much about the Dubs.. right now they are all scrambling to cover the tracks - by spreading the rumors that your son has heard..

Hearing Kingdom Songs on Dateline.......sickened

by Mulan in

jw
friends

did anyone else have the bile come up, when you heard those "kingdom songs" during the dateline show?

it made me feel ill.........and almost like leaving the room.

i wonder why i have such an aversion to anything connected to a kh meeting?

lydia

It reminded me of how sickening those songs were - and how misleading they are - its a form of the brainwashing they use to keep those in - remember - all other music is Satan's Seed...

The same thing happened to me several years ago judge overruled my X & I request not to have our daughter recieve blood - a thing that I was so secretly glad for I could have cried!!!
I felt that if I questionned the beleif of the Blood issue
- I'd be D'fd -
and that had been threatened to me too..
Thank God that he provides a way to protect our children from this cult belief.

I know it was 70 hours then it was reduced to 60 I believe...

If this is a way to increase their ovrall hours - It will definatly backfire.. just as lowering the standards of anything allows a definate backward movement of the goal..
