december 25, 2020. to selected bodies of elders assigned to the covid-19.
re: adjustments to arrangements for meeting family food needs during the covid-19 pandemic.
dear brothers:.
review 1 Timothy 5:3-21
What a horrible application of that scripture.
It applies only to widows with several catches.
Only over 60, no other family, must be a sycophant, and god forbid you became a widow twice.
So pretty much find a reason not to help.
And not sure if it's just me but that chapter seems to be saying the Elders should be getting paid
so what is this weeks watchtower trash about.
wife is in cult mode and trying to see if there is a link.. thanks.
It always boils down to: (1) Send money, and (2) obey whatever we tell you even
ifthough it doesn't make sense.
Fixed that for you
as i get ready to go to sleep, i realize that it is already christmas day for everyone in se asia.. i know not everyone celebrates, but it can be a big deal to exjws who were denied the fun and wonder as children.. i have been out since i was a very young adult and have celebrated christmas first with my in-laws and then with my own child and absolutely love the season.. i am also enjoying this quieter covid christmas.
just my direct family tonight for christmas eve.
my son is 19 so i don't have to wait till he finally falls asleep and build all the toys, then get up super early on christmas day anymore.
With the days now getting shorter, I feel bad for people in the southern hemisphere this time of year.
what questions should be asked to a jehovah`s witness when confronted with them.. a jw gives his sermon.
"you" immediately ask him by what authority he has from god that you should take notice of him ,seeing their are over 40,000 different christian religions in the world who claim to represent god,.
jw.
What has your religion ever been right about?
Why did you become a JW and take it from there.
You need to give them something to think about later but we all know the constant stream of information from the WT keeps them from really ever thinking about anything but that.
Really thought there's probably not much you can say unless you happen to say it at the right time. Even JWs admit that most of the preaching work is coincidence based. Go to the same houses over and over and over knowing that eventually some tragedy is going to make some people receptive. I know some people that would find people to write to by reading the obituaries.
thought i'd put this out there to see if you knew of people in the jehovah's witnesses who were falsely accused or mistreated by the " police " or elders in the congregation.
many times it's been by experiencing injustices that get us to get shaken out of our cult thinking mode and reality kicks in and the scales fall from our eyes that the wt society is just a man made organization whose leaders are no better than us - actually in many cases more unscrupulous and conniving than any of us would have ever been to each other !
i was falsely accused 2 times .
Wow the resurrection is real!
* first i would like to say.....i apologize to my son's everyday for getting them involved in this cult because i took so much from them as far as celebrating holidays go.
they are now 22 and 17 great kids.
they want nothing to do with the cult.
JWs seem to keep enough trivial stuff around so they can claim to be normal when necessary.
And if they are supposed to be no part of the world why do they try so hard to look like worldly corporations and politicians? And now we are seeing even those folks wearing beards and dressing more casually will JWs follow suit? Pun intended.
some people want limited government involvement in their lives.
the less government, the happier they are.
others feel there’s not enough government intervention.
Problem is it sounds good on paper.
What I'd like to know is why the government thinks it is a good idea
my brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.
he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.
he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.
First thanks for illustrating the folly of claiming to speak for God. But why are you asking here?
I believe the literature says if someone commits adultery to get out of a marriage they should remain disfellowshipped for a very long time. My opinion is that they if they do get reinstated, they should not have any privileges for a much longer time if ever.
But of course it is all baloney so he should just figure out what the right thing is to do and do that.
a vaccine is here!!!
the light at the end of the tunnel is visible!!!
so what happened to armageddon?.
Can I take it or does have any non-approved blood fractions that were removed from the blood in a centrifuge before it was poured out on the ground?
JWs don't put the past and the future together. They've been conditioned to think of the past as old light and move on to the next thing.
so, the famous 607 calculation to 1914 involves the above prophecy.
the common explanation is that time is one unit, times is an unsubstantiated number of units.. to prove you can make it say any date, we must write it as a formula:.
date = t + nt + 0.5t where n >= 2. so simplified:.
I gave a talk once where I pointed out, based on my research in the literature, how nonsensical Nostradamus' predictions were. Nothing like the time, times half a time, a day for a year timeline from the bible.
