  "I'm anointed...it's important you listen ...

  by terafera in

  2. friends

  get this.. a knock at my door... i answer it, it's a sister who claims to be anointed.

  i used to study with her but lost contact for awhile after i moved.

  so anyway, she is standing in my doorway making idle conversation and manages to ask her way into my living room.

  Right on Thomas!

  Have you ever got the oppurtunity to ask a JW about their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and what he has done for them in thier life?
  You'll get the same ole' line of generalities.. i.e. the Watchtower is growing by leaps and bounds, looking forward to the New System..yada yada... Infact, I asked a person to claim that they were anointed what Jesus Christ has done for them in thier personal life, and they said it was personal and none of my business. The reason why they can't is because they DON'T have the Holy Spirit nor Jesus Christ in thier life.

  GLOBAL HALT ON KINGDOM HALL CONSTRUCTION?

  by stevieb1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on another post a number of days ago it was rumoured that the society were going to announce or had already intimated that due to financial constraints there was to be an immediate stop to all kingdom hall construction worldwide.

  if this is true this would be big news!!

  can anyone on here, especially jw insiders shed any further light on this matter or offer some sort of evidence that this is/is not so.

  It might have to do with their stocks tanking in the market.

  i have a question that puzzles me and would like to receive some ideas.

  i used to be a witness for two years before fading away, leaving quietly.

  i was not disfellowshipped and i did not write a letter of dissasociation.. the way i got babtised was such that noone from my congragation saw it since the babtisees were taken by buses from the convention to a private swimming pool.

  ELDERS JUST HERE, and now I'm

  confused.

  was in the middle of sending out some last minute "seasons greetings," cards.

  any way, he spoke of the events of the last year, how they were significant, about the brothers going to the trade center and offering comfort from the scriptures, while priests and ministers only offered water and towels, and about the change in subscription arrangement.

  I follow the same sentiments as most here...

  "water and towels"

  yep.. the water was for washing their faces off from the mess of the debris and rehydration. They have been suffering from scratched corneas and irratation from the skin.. (remember there was absestos in those buildings, along with fiberglass, the uncounted toxins caused by the smoke.)

  Towels were for them wiping the blood from their hands, trying to clean debris off of the dead; the sweat - from their hard labor; and the tears for the sorrow caused by cowards.

  And all the witnesses did was talk.

  Better to be DOERS of the Word.

  Reproof

  by ninjaturtle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if someone is reproved by a judicial comittee but not disfellowshipped, how long does it remain on their record?

  5 years and then it's never seen again?

  or is it always there in their publisher record?.

  Logical-
  You are dead on.
  I'll take it one step further. Writing down sins means that you don't plan on forgiving them immediately. Very unscriptural.

  Children and the Christian God

  by Skeptic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my thanks to yoyomamma for inspiring this post.

  yoyomamma got me thinking about how god views children, and the rules regarding children who are not "saved" and why.. is this a god you want to worship?.

  i'll start with the merciful versions i personally know of: .

  Six:
  Have to disagree with you one more time.

  General Christians, as you put it, beleive that they are born-again. The term "born-again" means that they have been given a "new birth" by means of Christ's blood when he died. That is one of the core belief of Christianity.

  I am a "Born-Again" Christian, and by no means beleive that children who are not saved go to hell even if they die within hours of being born.

  Many people catagorize "Born-Again Christians" under "Fundlementalist Wackos" ... I am not a fundie-wacko.

  Quite frankly, I'm tired of reading or listening to that ignorance.

  Dinosaurs killed in flood?

  by bboyneko in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was thrift store shopping as i always do on saturdays, and came across some older jw literature (as i often do at thrift stores) it was a very simple tract, i forgot the title, but it had a picture of the flood, and if you look closely you see a dinosaur drwoning in the flood.

  was this really the official position of the society, and is that still the case?

  you'd have to be astoundingly ignorant of science to beleive dinosaurs walked the earth with man only 6,000 years ago.. -dan

  Did Crisis of Conscience damage you?

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been suggested, by a man we know, that those who read crisis of conscience, are left with a feeling of despair and are "cast adrift" after reading it.

  it is his opinion that the book shouldn't have been written, because it does harm to people.

  i do not agree, and would like to hear from anyone who has an opinion to share, so i can print all this out and show it to him.. comments, everyone, please????

  I had it. To be honest I gave it to my brother. When I started reading it, it was about corruption that I had already learned about from websites.

  Ginger or Mary Anne?

  by crownboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no doubt one of the most ask questions ever.

  no matter what age you are (in my case fairly young), you've seen gilligan's island, and heard the inevitable argument (especially amoung men), who do you prefer better: ginger or mary anne.. well, i decided to bring the debate here to jw.com, see if there's an (ex) jw consensus on the issue.. my personal favourite is mary anne, by the way.

  they were both very attractive, but mary anne's personalty was more down to earth (or naive) to me, and i find that more desirable.

  My condolences to you and your sister's family. I know when my friend had her 5th miscarrage, and the baby was 5 mos., we held a small service at the church for her and her family. It helped them out alot.

  Ususally in times like these, it is hard to say anything that can comfort someone. It's best just to be there.
