  Because I'm clueless about politics (mostly), who are the Democratic candidates?

  Will Jehovah himself kill me, or will Jesus, Satan, or someone else?

  by InterestedOne in

  2. beliefs

  i've heard people here say jw's believe that jehovah will slaughter non-members of the jw religion when armageddon comes any day now.

  does the watchtower teach that jehovah himself will do the killing, or is it delegated to someone else like jesus, satan, angels, or humans killing each other?

  who is the actual killer in the picture?

  Well, doesn't the Bible say it's Jesus and the angels who does it? Dunno what JWs believe about that, it was never very clear.

  Pioneers Bearing No Fruit

  my father in law's sow has been a pioneer for what...twenty plus years now?

  she has yet to see any of her studies progress to baptism.

  i know this is an excellent thing but to jw's you would think it would be tragic.

  My mom only ever brought one or 2 women into the lie, and I don't think either of them are dubs anymore. I've never gotten anyone to the point of baptism, nor has my sister (who, like my mom, is still in.)

  Attended 2-Day Circuit Assembly--Highlights

  by Cadellin in

  since my spouse is an active elder, i accompany him to sads, cas and das, at least for the time being.

  anyway, i thought i'd share some of the more odd/disturbing bits from the latest "sanctify god's name" ca.

  there wasn't anything particularly new but the tone toward porn, higher ed, bad assoc, "habitual" murmuring and harmful gossip is definitely hardening, as are the cautions against social networking.

  If I was ever somehow forced to go to a DC or CA, I'd purposely laugh my ass off as loud as I could until I was thrown out.

  Your own personal Jesus

  interesting article on liberal christains vs conservative christains view of jesus.

  if jesus is anything like the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, i don't want anything to do with him.

  my jesus is a rebel!.

  We just talked about this in church recently, we saw these funny/weird teeshirts with Jesus holding an AK-47, a skinny Jesus that looked like he woudln't hurt anyone, etc. I'm more a Democrat than a Republican, (if I were to vote at all) but I think Jesus is kind, loving, but not a pushover and can exact judgement in a way that would be scary for people who deserved it. But I also think he's approachable and reasonable, totally unlike the GB.

  Honestly I don't think most of the teens care about CoC, or the cult's history. I think they're just tired of it all and want to have some fun. I wasn't interested in any of that til my non-JW husband converted to Christianity. I think most teens would think it was boring, at least the teens I knew.

  Do you or someone else know any tips to help my mom? She's a born-in like me, in her 50s and has never really been "outside." I sent her another Bible translation (ESV because it's easy to read and very literal) and she seemed happy, but then told me "Psalm 83:18 isn't accurate" (since it doesn't say Jehovah). Sometimes she seems like part of her believes it's not the truth but I have to be so careful what I say because if I go one step too far she gets all uber-dub on me, like right now she's pioneering and bragging about it to me, but before she'd been telling me how depressing everything is in her hall. It's like she wants to tell me but is afraid.

  may 30 for prayer and supplication

  in accordance with the resolution of congress of april 2nd, and with the proclamation of the president of the united states of may 11, it is suggested that the lord's people everywhere make may 30th a day of prayer and supplication.

  god was graciously pleased to cause the nation to be formed and to grow under the most favorable conditions in the world for the preservation of liberty, civil and religious.

  Question for elders about MEMORIAL EMBLEMS...

  by Alfred in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is done with the bread and the wine after the conclusion of the memorial?.

  is it normally tossed in the trash and poured down the drain?.

  if so, wouldn't that be simbolic of throwing jesus' body in the trash and pouring his blood into the sewer?.

  When I was a kid, my dad was an elder and our family was in charge of providing the matzoh and wine. The wine was poured back in the bottle and the matzoh back in the box it came in and when we got home from the meeting my parents would drink the wine while giggling and saying "we're so naughty" or "I wonder if we'll go to heaven now ha ha ha" etc. and even let my sister and I try a little bit. The matzoh was pretty bland and not great but it all seemed like we shouldn't touch that stuff, like it was "special" or something.

  i had an account on here sometime ago but forgot the login, but i often read the site.. a long-term friend of mine, a jw, asked me to go to his grandmothers jw funeral a few weeks ago.. i was hesitant obviously.

  i haven't been to a kh in over 5 years.. i am not df/da.

  i decided to quit in 2007 following my failed marriage to a jw.. the person who died was a very well-respected jw pioneer.

  Reading about all these JW funerals lately, I just told my husband (never was a JW) that I DO NOT want one at a KH unless my mom does one for me up north, I want it at my church and if my mom/family asks my husband if she can come to one down here that he should say only if she/they go to my church because there will not be one at the KH here.
