  Does Jehovah Intervene - JW Teaching

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have been a jw my whole life and i have never been able to get a clear answer on this question.

  jw's do not believe that jehovah will intervene if someone is sick, dying or stopping a car crash.

  they feel that jehovah is letting "this world" play out before he solves all of these problems.

  I remember the young jw woman in Oregon that was kidnapped by a jw man and raped and killed. Where was Jehovah? All those people killed in that KH during that cyclone in the Philippines, where was Jehovah? Some guy gets a few bucks while going out in service for gas, Jehovah is great! Its called the god delusion and a lot of people have it.

  Everyone knows god only intervenes to have JW Books or Tracts fly out of the air and hit someone in the head so they can pick it up an learn the truth!

  Many!!!

  Contact - Alien: You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.

  Planet of the Apes - Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape! & You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

  Annie Hall - "Hey, don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love."

  Stand By Me - “I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12. Jesus, does anyone?"

  Star Wars - May the force be with you.

  Yes, That is a VERY good point Simon.
  

  99% of witnesses would NOT know how to do the mental gymnastics to explain 1914 to people. And that is what the GB counts on - "Just believe it because we tell you its true"

  YES TRUE _ maybe 99.9%

  The GB have been speaking out of both sides of their mouths on this subject for a long time. There was a WT that stated that - paraphrasing - "god doesn't do miracles today - but if someone thinks they were the recipient, let them think so." But just the other week we had the Do you see gods hand in your life, so of course the flock always thinks that they have had good intervene for them. Everyone thinks they are Job. I have always hated this thinking.

  You are wrong there. I know of gluttons punished! Jabba the Hut was once a brother and after ignoring loving scriptural counsel, was Disfellowshipped. Sadly after that, the spirit of the world took hold of him leading him to a life of galactic crime and villainy.

  Literature being discontinued, including Isaiah's Prophecy and Reasoning book

  by Richard_I in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  congregations get an annual letter that tells what can be ordered for literature (it's mainly a list of audio cds/dvds for the deaf), but this time it included publications that will be discontinued, and this included the isaiah's prophecy book and the reasoning book, and i think i saw the draw close to jehovah book.

  i meant to take a picture of the letter but forgot.

  the branch is only going to give what they have on stock, when that stock depletes that's it, you won't be able to order those publications anymore.. this is in canada so i don't know if this is worldwide..

  I hate the term "Read" Scripture - I find it annoying and somehow condescending.

  By the way those books are off the JWorg site - not downloadable any more.

  Can an inactive family member hold back a MS appointment?

  by Simon Templar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend asked me if a man can be appointed a ms if he has an inactive (inactive for 15-20 years) baptized adult child living in his home.

  the child lives by the rules and doesn't do anything wrong (jw-wise), as i am told.

  i know the child (adult) and is a good kid as far as i know.

  Probably not due the the qualification of:

  4 a man presiding over his own household in a fine manner, having his children in subjection with all seriousness
