That line about Jehovah not forcing anyone to come here...it's such total horse crap.

Do the elder's really sincerely believe that born-in's don't feel stuck and forced when they start having doubts?

I'm so tired of these people.

Today's (4/12) WT study - all about Jesus

by OneEyedJoe in

today's watchtower study article is all about jesus.

this stuck out to me after a year of hanging out on here where one frequent point of criticism is that jws claim to be christians but never talk about jesus.. anyone think it's a coincidence that today was the "special talk" follow-up to the memorial?

i think not - this is the most attended sunday meeting of the year, complete with many ubms, studies, and miscellaneous other potential victims who have been subjected to a coordinated effort to pressure them into attending.

Don't forget about this year's Regional Convention theme: IMITATE JESUS!

Exclamation point is actually part of the title.

WT instructions on NOT copying the 'Shepherd Flock of God' book.

by Esse quam videri in

shepherd the flock of god.

1 peter 5:2.

this publication is congregation property.

cappytan

So, any thoughts on sending the PDF to my entire congregation email distribution list? Obviously I would use an anonymous address.

It would probably freak the elders out.

National Sibling's Day?

by thedepressedsoul in

i'm not sure how many of you are aware but today is national siblings day.

what i find odd is that social media, fb, instagram etc... i see tons and tons of witnesses posting pictures of their siblings with the caption or hash tag, "national siblings day".

how is that any difference then fathers day, mothers day and so on?

cappytan

Yep. All my uber dub friends shared a pic of them with their sibling and the hashtag.

WT addresses the "rapture" teaching.

by wifibandit in

look at paragraph 15 of the 2015 july 15th study edition pg 18-19.. http://imgur.com/3wparys.

.

basically they admit to teaching the rapture (for the anointed remnant), just don't call it that!.

cappytan

I was a full time servant for over six years and a high hour publisher when I wasn't pioneering.

I have to say, I have never met anyone in the ministry who believed in the rapture and believed that it would be their physical bodies taken to heaven.

PSALMS 83: 18 What is the name of God ?

by william draper in

so many of us have been taught that the name of god is jehovah , if like me many have come to really appreciate god's name .. .

more accurately we , at least many or most love the name of jehovah , or more accurately should i say this pronunciation .

does god care what we call him , of course he does , he had his name written in the bible as yhwh ( best i can do on this computer ) , more than 6000 times .

cappytan

Honestly, who really cares how a fictional sky fairy's name is pronounced?

Scripture Challenge: Theists, atheist, anti-theists, absentheists, satan worshippers whoever can help...

by freemindfade in

can anyone give me one or more scriptures in the first 5 books of the bible that would describe yhwh the tribal desert god as loving, kind, merciful, etc?...

and by loving i don't mean, "in order to release all the jews from slavery god @$$blasted the egyptians with ten plagues because he was so loving to his chosen race"..

cappytan

Good find, it doesn't really give an example of his being so though.

Nope, but it is describing him as such, so meets your initial criteria. :P

Check this out, "Cappytan, Cappytan, a Dude amazing in bed, rich and athletic, skilled at everything he does, farts rainbows and poops golden eggs."

Just because I say it doesn't make it so.

Described by whom?

Ex. 34:6,7

Jehovah was passing before him and declaring: “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful+ and compassionate,*+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loyal love*+ and truth,*+ 7 showing loyal love to thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.

Symptoms of Spiritual Weakness - Elder's Manual

by cappytan in

lack of self-control in eating, drinking, and pursuit of pleasure;.

so, let me get this straight.

enjoying a fancy meal, appreciating the finer qualities of libations and deciding to enjoy life by pursuing pleasures (bike riding, hiking, camping, fishing, reading, movies, golfing, etc.

As to searching "spiritually weak" try separating the words spiritually weak, no quotes

Blondie's right. Search on WOL brings up a bunch of results.
