hi jwners,.
i was just thinking about how the lord likes a laugh and then this just arrived in the email :).
they're back!
It is rather cute that you have posted these Church Bulletin humourous liners. I had them recently sent to me. I had intented to use a few of them in our September issue of our Newsletter as I am the editor and chief. I can't believe July is over soon. We haven't had summer yet. So much rain. You'd think this was spring weather.
Anyway thanks for posting .

for those of you in other countries - how many times have you seen thousands of your own countrymen lying outside in a field waiting for health care?
sammieswife.. whistleblower tells of america's hidden nightmare for its sick poorwhen an insurance firm boss saw a field hospital for the poor in virginia, he knew he had to speak out.
here, he tells paul harris of his fears for obama's bid to bring about radical change.
As I mentioned earlier if I had to pay for my meds I would be living on the streets. One perscription alone is 400 dollars a month. Breathing meds. are over a hundred a month and one other is 145, and another is 350 dollars. When I lived in the province of Quebec the same thing, I got the same coverage. In fact Quebec's medicare is better than Ontario's OHIP or at least it was when I moved back home to Ontario.
I love the USA I have often wanted to move there into one of the warmer states on account of my asthma, and arthritis' but it can't happen as with my other health problems I wouldn't even be given a green card to work in the US.
I could never get insurance because of pre existing conditons.
could someone time me this, I heard it recently if you have or are treated for lets say a heart condition and it is cured but if this condition happens again because it is now pre existing that the insurance coverage will not pay anything like blood work or work up for surgery or even a hospital stay. Is this so?
A couple of years ago I was so upset with our government over an issue of grave importance it disgusted me to even call myself a Canadian and I told that to the government. Well I take it back I am glad to be a Canadian and there are some idiots in the government but you have to sometimes take the nuts with the good representatives in the house of commons. So thanks Canada for our health care system even if we are having problems of our own.

I thank God that in Canada we have a health care system otherwise I would be living in the streets.
My monthly medications alone are over a thousand dollars and if I lived in the US I be big trouble.
We are blessed in many ways in Canada. Our healthcare system isn't perfect, but I won't complain after r eading this.
Thanks for sharing.

http://traceyricksfoster.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/michael-jacksons-children-attend-local-kingdom-hall-of-jehovahs-witnesses-with-aunt/.
raising another generation in the "truth".. .
Here is the way I feel about the situation. The children should be given a chance to chose for themselves if they want to go to a KH or not. It is true Michael didn' t encourage his kids to become involved with the JW's which is a good thing.
Their aunt shouldn't force them to go to the Hall either. I hope that Michael's sisters are watching out for the children. At least she wouldn't send them to the JW's Kingdom Halls or churches as some say.
These young ones need a childhood free of fear not like what the WTS does to every child like scaring them and putting fear in their hearts and minds instead of love of God. I try to imagine Jesus Christ sitting down under a large tree maybe he is sitting on a huge log and all around him are young children and they are all over Jesus giggling and having a grand time. And then after a while Jesus sits with them and tells them great stories from the time of Adam and Eve or Noah or how about the tower of Babel. You see there is a place for everything a proper time. A time to play, a time to study, a time to cry a time to laugh, ........that is how our Lord taught children, he didn't scare them half to death. He loved children and tenderly took great interest in them for He knew of their innocense and their eagerness to please others. Given half a chance children can turn out to be truly beautiful God fearing children, like those in the bible, ex of Daniel, and the three Hebrews and how God preserved them in times of need or anytime.
Children are very special they are a gift from God, an inheritance, and so with lot of love and kindness we can reach the heart of children and then they can decide if they wish to worship God. Not JW's though as they are a cult as we all know. But rather a loving and caring God and one who wants to tenderly care for them.
Whatever happens to Michaels children I hope that they have a wonderful life and they will become young upstanding youths who would make any parent proud to say these are my children and they are a gift from God.

hi everyone.... just curious how many of you knew when you were active, about the societys official teaching regarding jesus the mediator.
i was floored to find in my research, that they teach jesus is the mediator for the 144,000 only.
and it is only by our association with them that we might have salvation.. i don't know about you guys but i was blown away when i learned they taught this.
All Jews were required under the law to offer sacrifices, the very best of their flock, the yearling and with no broken bones, and even Mary made a sacrifice in the temple after Jesus was born in accordance with the Mosaic Laws. She as well as the nation of Isreal knew this was the way they mediated their relationship towards Jehovah. There were certain kinds of sacrifices for certain festivals. If an Isrealite didn't have a yearling to offer Jehovah they could offer as in Mary' s case two small turtle doves or pidgeons as they were poorer then others. Yet this was still acceptable to God. As long as there were no broken bones and the animal or birds were young. Seems right to me. And was acceptable to the Lord.
I find though this interesting even prior to the Jews became a Nation Jehovah demanded sacrifices, as in the case of Cain and Abel, and Eve, and Noah and his family, Abraham and his family as well as many others mentioned in the bible.
This was the balance of mediation between Jehovah and his people on earth until the coming of His son who would be the ultimate perfect sacrifice for human kind. Was Cain and Abel a part of the nation of Isreal? Or Noah and Abraham? No they were humans who didn't belong to a nation as there was no nation at that time, so does that mean that God didn't except their sacrifices as being valid. No way. They were pleasing to the Lord. Not so as in Cain's case.
Do you see where I am going with this?
We all are God's children we all belong to Christ when we give our life to God the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. We have Christ as not only our Saviour but our mediator to God. Plain and simple. And yet the G. B of the WTS can't see this very simple fact. Like do they wear blinders????
I know this scripture was quoted earlier but I like the verses above this text ,as well it includes all mankind not the JW's anointed.
1Ti 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

It never ceases to amaze me the way people soak up the organizations lies by believing every word the G.B. teaches them like sponges. ( I don't mean to be critical of decent God fearing persons seeking out the truth of God's word as I know many sincere witnesses are out there. I hope they see through the lies before it is to late.)
It is as if no witness has their own thinking capability left anymore. Why can't they see the lies? Or maybe they do and it becomes a fear factor thing for them and the high price they would have to pay for resisting MOM or for whatever reason they don't act upon this exposure of light, only the Lord knows.
Sometimes you wish you could just shake the witnesses up and say wake up, look the WTS is lying to you. See we can prove it to you.
As a side thought: What I find interesting here is that the church teaches Christ as the mediator between us and God. They didn't get it wrong. And look how the organization hates other religions.
As far as I am concerned it is outright arrogance on the part of the Society to say that Christ is the mediator only between the 144,000 and God. They have warped the scriptures to suit themselves and hold millions of witnesses subserviant to their brainwashing tactics. It obviously works, as there are so many witnesses. They can't all be wearing blinders. Can they?
I just hope that witnesses keep coming to sites like this and learn what they are being taught is not scriptual but made up by the WTS to fit people into their moulds. Making witnesses good Chirstian soldiers.
I thank the Lord above for Him giving me the strength to get out of the witness albeit 38 years. It is never to late for an awakening and a spiritual rebirth.

i had heard recently the wtbs may have changed their policy on the ymca.
it would be helpful to me personally if they have.
i did know of a couple of people in my last congregation who went but i also heard some elders talking against it.
You know they have some nerve disfellowshipping your wife over the YMCA issue. They say it is committing apostacy to join anything affiliated with another religion. What a laugh~
Boy do they have a lot of explaining to give the Lord up above, for their being members of the most disgusting thing that God loathes more then anything else and that is the image of the wild beast and the WTBS was part and parcel of the Harlot that sits on that image of the wild beast by being a part of the United Nations, for TEN years. They committed fornication adultry, pornia whatever word you want to call it, they did and then they tried to make light of it by saying it was no big thing. Well it sure is a BIG THING GOVERNING BODY....YOU LAYED DOWN WITH THE DEVIL!!!!!!!
You are so eager to condemn every other religion but you got caught with you pants down and since then your hell bent on getting as many witnesses out of your organization that stand up to you and expose your lies, cons and deciet. We know you are from your father the Devil and you sat right beside him for ten years. Who disfellowshipped you? Who reproved you? Who did you answer too? Maybe no one but soon you will stand before the judgement seat of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and then you will know what judgement is all about..
And by the way I am not passing any judgement on you or your organization, I don't have to. The writing is on the Wall and I am just reading it.
