Do You Remember When JWs Relished Explaining Their Beliefs?

i bet most witnesses could not explain their blood policy, their understanding of the slave, and even simple biblical doctrines....they are an embarrassment to any old timer..

Desirous of change I am sorry you feel that way. To me the GB are just like the people who wrote the Bible, in the sense that whenever they were in the wrong they owned up to it. Jesus said forgive not 7 times but 77 times. And the Bible says more information would be revealed and light of it keeps getting brighter.

I am a believer because anything you search about the other religions immortal soul, trinity, hell, all have traces to pagan origin. Which religion doesn't teach this, yet exalts the name Jehovah like the Bible said to? Other religions don't even say the name, it doesn't even occur in thier Bible but like 6 times. This is the opposite of what Jesus said to do when he said sanctity the name.

"We Had No Idea How Manipulative He Can Be!"

very stressfull and upsetting evening was had last night.

i dropped my 2yo daughter off to my ex-wifes home.

all seemed good until i got home.

Instead of claiming you're 2 year old is a liar, a group should be gathered with you their, and see if she will still say it.

i attended a sunday meeting today after missing a couple due to a bout of chronic apathy.

out of 74 publishers we had a grand total of 33. wonderful.

for those that attend, how are you finding the numbers?.

Yet their are still 8 million registered JW who take part in pionerring. Surely a good amount for a great crowd.

Are they beating us ???? According to Matt. 24:48..

it occurred to me the other day...the society is loading us up on all types of ways to reach others....jw.org, all types of literature, all types of different ideas, maybe you could use the tools jehovah gave us this way or perhaps you can use it that way, maybe you can volunteer, maybe you can go where the need is greater, maybe you can give more $$$, maybe you can give more time, maybe you can look at how you can be in the ministry more, maybe you can meditate more, maybe you can do this or that for your family study, maybe you can talk to a seasoned witness & find out how they.....& i know there are tons of other things maybe we can do....or yes, forgot this one, maybe you can quit your job....then maybe you can get some rest, because you can't serve jehovah when you are tired.

how can you get more rest if, you don't have no money to live indoors...anyway, with all these maybe's we can do..... it came to my mind that the gb isn't here as of yet & it seems the org.

is pressing the friends for bible studies...they are saying....we are giving you all these tools & so why are you not getting bible studies or return visits...it's almost as if they are brow-beating us...do more because the society has given you more...it's not us, folks just ain't listening to us at the door any more....they are not even opening up the door.

Scratchme1010 The teaching isn't supposed to dwindle down. Everyone has the opportunity to accept it until Jesus returns. Besides we still have a little over 20 lands to teach in. So of course they are making a whole effort to accomplish this.

I am not apathic friend. I really do get concerned for the former JW here. But I understand God said in the Bible that many would turn from the truth during the last days. So surely it will happen and has happened.

1350 in attendance 5 kids baptised.

the org charged $13,000 for the wonderful program!.

A Believer

Well it would be hard to maintain an org and publish and print the materials we read without money. It's why we give whenever we want, their is no requirement to.

Their is no bias friend. Only true understanding of the Bible. No Trinity, no hell. No pagan beliefs. (:

We don't charge a clergy. Just a donation box sitting in a corner. Sometimes it bes months before I put anything in it. Their is no passing of it like in churches.

2 Shepherd the flock of God under your care, serving as overseers, not under compulsion, but willingly before God; not for love of dishonest gain, but eagerly; 3 not lording it over those who are God’s inheritance, but becoming examples to the flock.

We still love teaching the truth to whoever will listen. It's been taught in 240 land. So only about 20 more to go. We know though whenever someone doesn't want to hear it, it's not us they are turning down.
