Apathy carts - Apathy D-2-D

by Zoos in

i think it was punkofnice who came up with the phrase, "apathy carts".

how apropos.. yesterday i encountered a car group of witnesses in my community as i was coming home from the gym.

actually, their van was blocking me from entering my driveway.

Evidently, they returned invisibly.

I believe the new Field Service Report slips have not only a place where you may count your video "showings," but also a column for "Invisible Return Visits."

We cannot abstain from blood. Our bodies need it and they keep producing it. If bodies fail, a transfusion would be acceptable.

by quincemyles in

god prohibited the eating of blood.

in genesis, leviticus and deuteronomy the edict is clear: "do not eat blood !

" when the apostles said "abstain from blood," jewish christians must have contextually understood that to mean "do not eat blood.

From the people who brought you the logic behind "generation = contemporaries" comes an explanation of "abstain from blood" that could possibly kill you.

Great.

The Watchtower are humans

by WireRider in

the watchtower are humans.

they have never had any conversation with any god, let alone one by a made up name.

they never had any power at all bestowed upon them.

ATT: WARNING

by EJ257 in

please be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.

this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.

at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

Start to stock food and start to learn anything you will need to know how to survive without a proper home that has running water, heat, and appliances for food storage of cooking

Let's see. . . . so far I have enough quinoa and bottled water to last a week. . . .

I have a big, scary-looking stick to ward off anyone who thinks they might steal my quinoa.. . . .

The iPad is fully charged so I'll be able to surf the net. . .

We will have Internet in this doomsday scenario, won't we?

Did I imagine a brief thaw in the Watchtower injunction against going to university?

by slimboyfat in

okay i was talking to an elder and he said me going to university was a bad idea and i should have listened to the society and not gone.

but i said that when i went to university the watchtower was saying it might not be a bad idea to go to, as long as you do it for the "right reasons", don't associate with worldly people, and keep clear of "damaging ideas".

but basically they said it was okay, in this "changing world" and job market to go to university.

So it seems the thaw lasted roughly from 1992 to 2005.

This is absolutely true. Quite a few went to school of some kind and -- not-so-shockingly -- all of the kids in "that generation" are still "in the truth."

They make a decent living, serve the Borg on weekends, and do OK for themselves.

Keep 'em happy, they don't question.

However, not only did the "thaw" not last, but with the recent AMIII JWBroadcast bashing college, the stance on college has been frozen in place harder than ever.

i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

i do not condone any crime.

Notice during the thread I never mention the doctrines penned by the governing body as my salvation. Though some of it is truly enlightening and encouraging none the less.

Could you please cite exactly what "doctrines penned by the governing body" are "truly enlightening and encouraging" to you?

I would like to look up the references so I can GROW in my LOVE for JEHOVAH.
