95I *witnessed* to the *Christians* last night--LOL!
by LDH inthought you all would enjoy this.. i went to a b'day party for a friend who is a bible-thumper in the worst way!
(10x worse than most jw).. i'm sitting around like a zombie while everyone is talking about how "blessed" they are to "know christ" blah blah blah blah blah.. then my interest got peaked as one of the women started quoting scripture talking about how the reason her life is blessed is that her great great grandmother was a russian mennonite blah blah blah and the bible says that god will bless your offspring if you come to know him.
blah blah blah.. so i start asking a few well placed questions like "well what does that mean for the poor muslim sop whose great great grandmother was a muslim?

Another little tidbit. The daughter my son is going to marry was in the emergency room on Thursday, with some neurological problems. I called the mother, who lives in another town, and told her that the neurologist said it was not Multiple Sclerosis, for sure. She replied "thank you Jesus." My husband deadpanned, "I didn't know the neurologist's name was Jesus?" I asked my son this morning how they will explain her illness if it does turn out to be very serious, or if she dies. He was totally dumbfounded. I asked if they will say Jesus didn't hear their prayers. No answer. Maybe he will think a bit. I don't wish that on her, by the way, but I want my son to THINK!!!

Hi LDH. I have a similar situation most of the time, with my son's fiancee. Her father is a fundamentalist pastor, and a great guy, but the mother and daughters..........deliver me, please! Everything is "thank you Jesus". I just want to gag!! We went to her 21st birthday party, at their home, last year, and I had to listen to that crap all day. Finally, I had had it, and I said, "how do you know that your prayers, are nothing more than goal setting?" I do a lot of that, and have wondered about the connection, and if there is one. The mother said, unbelievably "Isn't it wonderful? Jesus can answer prayers even if they don't believe it's a prayer!" I give up.
But, I used the same reasoning on them that you did, about Muslims, and they all caved. Every last one of the family had to acknowledge that the whole world does not have to accept Christ. My point to them was that "a Christian may have a greater responsibility, but doesn't it say that he died for ALL men?" Interesting that we used the same points. I just want them to quit trying to convert me. It will never happen. The father (Pastor) seems to recognize this, but the others are too dense.

Sick of "prophecies"
by lookingnow22 ini'm going to ramble (rant) again!.
i am so sick and tired of hearing about this prophecy in the bible, and that prophecy in the bible.
i'm sick of hearing they were fulfilled by this person, that organization, some event.

One way to deal with Bible prophecy is to look at it as already fulfilled. The Bible was written 2000+ years ago, for a people long gone from this planet. My belief is that all the prophecies have had their fulfillment, and do not apply to us. The prinicples are ones we can learn, and benefit from. To see the prophecies as anything else is frustrating and a waste of time. Get on with your life. This is the one you get. Don't waste a minute of it.

I made a sign for the back window of my car today. It is bordered by children's hand prints, and says "Is a pedophile knocking at your door? www.silentlambs.org " I won't know if it gets results but it makes me feel good to have it there.

Convention Apostatizing Brings Gestapo Response
by outnfree inmy flyers merely said: if as a jehovahs witness, a member of your family has been molested information is available for further information see: www.silentlambs.org or call 1-877-wtabuse.. nothing overtly inflammatory, actually more like a public service announcement.. i guess thats what most of the local organizers and friends thought in my neck of the, woods for the first two days of the district convention!
but once the 'friends' realized that the website i was promoting with my flyers and moving car billboard was not an approved wt site, the powers that be got ... well ... pissed is the word!.
nobody bothered me on friday as i went smiling about my posting flyers on the light and utility poles on the routes to/from the convention site.

Ashley, there are some active JW's here, but most of us have learned the truth about "the truth". Please allow yourself to be open minded and don't leave just because someone tells you not to listen to people like us. I am not disfellowshipped. You can ask me anything.
