How do you Spell Disfellowshipped?

by RayPublisher in

the reason i ask, is that if you search the wt publications, you will see that it is spelled with only one "p" over 600 times, but also spelled with two "p"s 600 times.. .

very confusing!

any linguistic experts out there that know which it should be?.

when i was younger (20s) i remember hearing an experience at a district assembly about a best-selling author who, in his book, wholeheartedly recommended employing jehovah's witnesses because they were honest, good workers ... etc.

it seems like he couldn't recommend jw's enough.

the speaker went on to read a page or two from the book, and stated it was a glowing recommendation from a 'worldly' author who regarded jw's very highly.

"in constant demand" in various fields"

Jehovahs Witnesses Plan on Looting the Dead

by God_Delusion in

hi guys and gals,.

i've written a new article on what some jehovah's witnesses plan on doing after armageddon strikes.

i am sure you've been around witnesses that have said something like "oh i'm moving into that house after armageddon.".

I truly believe the same ...

@ "I honestly believe there are plenty of JW's that would have picked up a gun and shot innocent people had they been told to do so from the platform "

My mom salivates at the thought of the killing of her own non JW family in Honduras ... including her non-JW children here in USA ... she will gladly help ... actually she has stated in the past that she cannot wait for us to be killed ...

leaving your family for jesus

by serein in

jw
friends

matthew 19:29 says,.

anyone leaving there family home or what ever for him will gain 100 fold,.

i asked this question once and the answer was it ment the ones who dont stay with the witnesses,.

Have you read the Context ... read it many times ... and then read it again, you have to being at Matthew 19:16 and see what makes Jesus said those words (started with the rich guy or something like that). Ask God to give you insight into this - to send you the Holy Spirit to teach you.

JWs don't follow Jesus ... the Christ ... they follow a CORPORATION ... they mention Jehovah a lot, but if you read the Bible Christians get to the father THROUGH JESUS ... if you read what the Apostles wrote we have to follow CHRIST ...

My mom and most of my brothers and sisters are JWs and follow the Watchtower CORPORATION... I decided to follow Jesus, The Christ, if they want to shun me because of that they can take it up with my Father in Heaven I am done with them but I am always here for them, Jesus will never leave me, will never forsake me.

I don't think Jesus is advocating breaking families apart, but if it comes to a point when the condition to be with them is to denied JESUS when you know in your heart and Spirit that the Christ has been revealed to you, wow then you are in a big pickle but I believe by personal experience that the Holy Spirit helps you navigate all that ... but mostly only cultish so called "christian" groups will make you leave your family even if they don't oppose you to follow whatever god you want to follow ... JWs will ask you to stop associating with your family and friends even if they don't oppose to your beliefs... they want total control of your being ... so cults are very different and we have to see the difference ...

Stand Up For Truth this Sunday

by The Searcher in

in paragraph 14 of the watchtower study article for this week, the g.b.

declare that they are already priests on earth.

in paragraphs 15 & 16, it gets worse; this is the question asked - "what benefits will the royal priesthood bring to mankind?".

by Christ Alone in

joseph rutherford, the second president of the wts, believed his spiritual enlightenment came from angels because the holy spirit had ceased functioning since 1918. the angels channeled information into his mind from god residing on the star alcyone.

The following is an excerpt of the Times Magazine, full version is available to Subscribers ... Rutherford also bought cars for ..... LOL!

Thank you JESUS for set me FREE and FREE INDEED !!!!!!

Big, blue-eyed Judge Joseph Frederick Rutherford, 60, lives in a ten-room Spanish mansion, No. 4440 Braeburn Road. San Diego, Calif. Last week he deeded No. 4440 Braeburn Road, an adjacent two-car garage and a pair of automobiles to King David, Gedeon, Barak, Samson. Jephthae, Samuel and sundry other mighties of ancient Palestine. Positive is he that they are shortly to reappear on earth. Said he: "I have purposely landscaped the place with palm and olive trees so these princes of the universe will feel at home when they come to offer man...

@ Rutherford was asked by a reporter how he would know if a person claiming to be King David was truly who he claimed, Rutherford replied "I realized the possibility of some old codger turning up bright and early some morning and declaring he was David. The men whom I have designated to test the identity of these men are officers of my societies. . . . They will be divinely authorized to know impostors from the real Princes." - Time Magazine, "California Cults", March 31, 1930"

It is funny the pickles people puts themselves in when going above and beyond the Scriptures ...

So What Would You Do If You Won $550,000,000?

by Mary in

jw
friends

ok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.

if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?

other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........

Bella15

I'd buy an island for my me and my family alone (just 4 of us actually) as vacation retreat!

I say this because I want to go on vacation to a nice place by the beach this summer ... can't wait ... any place around Florida would do right now to get rid of this winter blues ... (if you can call it winter here in Texas - LOL )!!!!
