  Hola! Bienvenida!

  Hi, Welcome! So happy that you will continue your studies abroad thou! I have been to Georgetown and Virignia area ... you will love it - be prepared for cold winters ...and in case you want to come to visit Houston, TX just contact me. Mi casa es su casa. Once you live here in the USA your point of view will change dramatically and you may not even want to ever be associated to JWs again, well except your mother, but here it is a different world!!! You'll be a mother soon, congratulations!

  My dear child, breaks my heart to see you dealing with all that JW stuff while you're expecting your baby. I have 2 children, they are teenagers now. Babies are so cute. Please if you ever need some kind of support here USA, contact me. Don't feel you don't have no one else here.

  You'll have a lot to deal with in the upcoming months, take care of yourself and the baby.

  Saludos,

  Welcome Michelle

  We're almost same age and my mom became a JW when I was 3. As far as writing to your parents, gosh my beloved, taken from my personal experience with my mom and other JW relatives, they don't care, it seems that their heart turned to one of stone, they have lost that natural bond/love, in many cases it was never developed or was twarted with that cult's indoctrination.

  I am sure you are a better person and way better mother to your children than your mom was to you; and that's A LOT to be thankful for and proud of. Keep on building upon that. Be victorious and empowered that you are not like them. You broke that cycle. They harmed you for a while but they didn't destroy you. Keep shining your LIGHT upon them (in spirit, mentally), dark forces hate the light, they couldn't stand against you and they never will ...

  What is the Gospel of JW's in a Nutshell?

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  let the honest-hearted person compare the kind of preaching of the gospel of the kingdom done by the religious systems of christendom during all the centuries with that done by jehovahs witnesses since the end of world war i in 1918. they are not one and the same kind.

  that of jehovahs witnesses is really gospel, or good news, as of gods heavenly kingdom that was established by the enthronement of his son jesus christ at the end of the gentile times in 1914.

  - (luke 21:24) the watchtower 5/1/81 p. 17 par.

  Wow! Geee ... it is the Good News or GOSPEL exactly as found in the Bible ...

  1 Corinthians 15:1-8, 15:1 Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel that I preached to you, that you received and on which you stand, 15:2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 15:3 For I passed on to you as of first importance what I also received— that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, 15:4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, 15:5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve ...

  You know, when I read how they have distorted the True Christian Gospel I can't help but getting mad ...

  Well, this "work" will make them more spiritually strong, then they can go on despising the widow, the orphan, the poor, etc. Makes total sense to me.

  New JW chain-email going around

  by FaithfulBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  apparently, the society knows exactly when the great tribulation is going to break out, but they're only letting the public know through subliminal messages in their images.

  here's a new chain letter that's being passed around between witnesses:.

  (daniel 2:34, 35, 44, 45).

  Billions of people around the world for centuries woke up and wake up every day after a good night of sleep ... that's a TRUE miracle too. Here in Houston almost 5 people gets kill everyday, which means that for the other 2+ million people thanks God we are "m iraculously" safe/spared.

  It is always good to see that people don't get killed in any accidents, but this HAPPENS ALL AROUND THE WORLD EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY, whether you are black or white, Hindu, Catholic, Buddhist, JWs, Mormon, rapist, murderer, thieve, liar ... I myself have had close calls BUT it is not because you belong to a certain protected group by "God". God is good to EVERYBODY, but JWs believe that they are SO SPECIAL and good things only happen to them ... LOL!!! What I like about being a Christian now is that I know that God LOVES YOU HIS CREATION ...

  The LORD is good to all,
  And His mercies are over all His works ( Psalm 145:9 ).

  How has Watchtower attempted to explain...

  by N.drew in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  2 timothy 2:16-18 please?.

  16 but avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, 17and their talk will spread like gangrene.

  among them are hymenaeus and philetus, 18 men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.. how were they saying the resurrection had taken place?

  I read this and gave me chills ...

  @ "They thought at the time that the old testament bible characters were coming back to earth in the flesh and supposedly built the Rutherford mansion for them to live in. Witnesses from that era told me that they would look around at assemblies and try to spot some old man with a beard - they were thinking that this could be Daniel, Ezekiel, or King David."
