  Where Does Material Success Come From - The Devil or God?

  by Iown Mylife in

  how can you tell if your business successes are coming from satan or god?

  because if your work gets real busy and you miss some meetings and/or fs, is that how you tell that it's from satan?

  but then if you contribute a big amount every week, is it from jehovah?

  hahahahahhh... Hubby and i have had this exact conversation. Over a period of 60 years I heard God and Satan credited and blamed for everything under the sun in dubland. My father was a sucessful businessman/dub who had an interesting response to those who said he was lucky. (before the word was banned in Watchtowerland) Labor Under Correct Knowledge

  I missed a lot of TV over the last 30 years

  since i have stopped attending meetings i have realized that there are alot of good t.v.

  shows that i have missed as well as channels that i would not watch because they would no doubt be in opposition to the scriptures(har har).. .

  i have been watching the history channel and the discovery channel so much over the last few months that it is amazing.

  Hubby and my fav is Sons of Anarchy. The show is about a motorcycle gang (similar to Hell's Angels).The show is gritty,violent and accurate as to what really goes on. Even the towns in Calif. that are mentioned are true. My ex husband and 2 of his mistresses and friends were bikers/drug dealers so I have 1st hand knowledge of what goes on in their world. The 2 main characters are IDENTICAL to my ex and his 2ond wife.

  recently i was talking to my mil, ( an elderly 2ond gen dub) about an experience hubby had at work.

  i wanted to anti-witness.

  i told her that baalam was sent on a sales call where the client turned out to be an inactive sister.

  Sarah, Baalam really WAS sent on a sales call and the poor sick lady really WAS an inactive sister! Co-winky-dink. I decided to relate the story to MIL just see what she would say. Her shallowness surprised even me!

  Hi Lois! You're right, MIL is a real piece of work- not just because she is a dub, (although it helps!) but bc she is one of the most selfish shallow people I've ever met. She's starting to get Alsheimers as well, which adds to the mix. Funny thing is....... when she and her many siblings were young almost all were wild as March hares. The girls married sailors and the boys were in gangs . The pappa Dub was a rumrunner during the depression. Now that the ones still living are very old, they talk all witnessey like they are "spiritual". It's very annoying.

I explained that she has many serious medical and financial problems. the 1st thing out of MILs mouth was NOT "how is she?" It was "tell him he can count the time!" Sheeeeeeesh!!!!!!!!!!!! I replied, "Well Baalam is just as inactive as she is so who counts time on who in that case? I think counting time make people become TERRIBLE Christians, worried more about statistics than people." She was shamed and showed it. She actually agreed with me! cool huh?

  Appearently, Jehovahs spirit is rather sluggish and his people somewhat "untrustworthy". Why would the WTBT$ be surprised that it's followers are as greedy at they are.?

  intel on warwick project

  by stuckinamovement in

  the committee assigned to build the new complex was called into a meeting with the governing body.

  they were told " you finish this project by january 1 2017. we want the keys to the complex and will be headquartered there by that date, do you understand?".

  when the brothers protested and said that it would take 6 years for the project to be complete and if they moved that fast there would be many mistakes, the gb responded, "we don't care, that is your deadline".

  my favourite uncle died about two years ago (non-witness) and my mother couldn't tell me .

  earlier today i went round to the cathedral square of the city where i work for some lunch and i had the misfortune to sit near to an ol'boy witnessing to some people who were too polite to respond.

  he kept going on about truth.

  Hotspur, OMG, I was about to start a similar thread! Hubby and i are not Dfed or DAed nor have we ever said a word about disblief to ANY fam member. Yet, I have had 2 uncles (Both JW) die without anyone telling me. I can accept that my family doesn't want us at their reunions, campouts.,weddings etc. but not tell me about DEATHS???? One of these uncles was in my parents will to be my guardian should they both die. I dearly loved him so to find out via the "grapevine" months after the fact really hurt. The thing I try to remember is that I was spared suffering through 2 Witness memorials/informercials. You were too.

  i was just remembering some jw's i was especially fond of who left the borg when i was active.

  in my sincere dubbiness, i called or went to see them to beg them to reconsider because i loved them so much.

  (i didn't want them to become bird food) i literally cried for them.
