  Be Couragous! - (Like The Governing Body?)

  by pale.emperor in

  i was watching lloyd evans rebuttal to the saturday program of the be courageous convention.

  lloyd pointed out something that had occurred to me as well:.

  all this talk and examples of courage, whether it be standing up in class defending intelligent design, putting up with being imprisoned, not running away from bullies, always having a reply to someone who tries to ridicule your faith... the young ones are encourages - nay, commanded - to stand their ground and be courageous.

  That is a link that a JW wrote excusing Losch's actions, words. If you have the stomach for it. The comments are even worse.

  @silentbuddha Thank you for sharing, I'm always up to hearing stories from ex-bethelites. I lived in Queens a long time ago and spent a lot of time at all the Bethel buildings. (I was secretly 'dating' one'). I have a few funny stories myself.

  @wake me-I would read that book! ha

  I know this post is 14 years old, but I'm bumping it for newbies like me. My spouse is so sure that these prophecies are now happening thanks to the latest convention. Thanks Leolaia!

  That was amazing, thank you for sharing! Gave me chills.

  But can anyone please elaborate on what he meant by CTR's biography being a lie? I have not heard of this in my research?

  you know when you are in a deep sleep and something happens that may put you on a different level of sleeping, not as deep.

  anyway, then i thought, 90 minutes for lunch?

  so, there is a group waiting to cross the street.

  Watching a member of the GB lie and mislead the audience with his answers at the ARC. I think he has and will continue to help many start to wake up.

  someone on jwtalk has shared their convention notes (for those interested in a jw perspective).

  jehovah’s people will experience hardships, so reliance on god is paramount!.

  prayer is essential and vital for our spiritual well-being.

  So what would "Perfect Life" REALLY be like?

  i wonder sometimes just how jws try and comprehend what perfect life would really be like if "adam and eve" had not sinned?.

  how would we live?

  what would the realities be like?

  Imagine my dismay when it was explained to me that the term meant spiritual "perfection".
  

  Wait, what? You mean I wont be a supermodel in Paradise that can breathe underwater, ride sharks and possibly fly??

  What is the most troubling or disturbing biblical passage you ever had to rationalise when a Jw?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  now that we have stepped away from the jw faith, how do you feel about the bible itself?.

  what about those awkward sections of scripture?

  how did you rationalise or justify those sections?.

  @pleasereasearch - Ezekiel chapter 23. The entire chapter is disgusting. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses

  Who talks like that?? Definitely written by dirty minded perverts.

  how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.

  here is an example i was told as a kid:.

  the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.

  @punk-wow so that one went across the pond.

  oh heres another--an elderly sister was preaching door to door when vicious dogs were about to attack her but she miraculously jumped over a 6 foot tall fence. (cane and all).
