this is a quick experience i have recently had and i have two questions at the end.. a couple of weeks ago, the dogs were barking at the gate on saturday morning and wouldn't you know it, it was some witnesses.
there was a father with his lovely wife and their young daughter.
the father did all the talking as mother and daughter just dutifully smiled and watched.
If you've ever watched a service demostration not one in all history has ever had the "householder" do anything other than nod in 100% agreement
No one is prepared for this.
I heard aN elder once sharing an experience like this and he basically said it finally dawned on him that the reason the HH wasnt playing ball with him is because he's worldly and worldly people are stupid!
The arrogance
the man asked jesus who is my neighbor jesus stated the one who acts mercifully toward other humans.
not good enough for watchtower neighbor must fit in three catagories only according to yesterdays wt wow changed the words of the son of god.
Lana longer, your missing the point
Read island man's post. .. he nailed it
The point is the WTS doesn't say anyone that needs our help. They said anyone we meet in the ministry. It's not about them, it's about YOU.... that is YOU being in the ministry and not off doing some other good deed
This is typical of the WTs. And your falling right in line Lana
The wts didn't say everyone YOU did. They didn't say NOT everyone, they weighted the intent toward the thing they want. Then they let the dubs put up their hands and say "everyone"
But when it comes time for counsel they'll show you what it really says, get out preaching
so said my pops one morning.
we were visiting my sister in eastern tennessee and the night before after everyone else went to bed pops was watching tv when all of a sudden and completely on it's own the tv changed to the tonight show, holy smokes!!
must be demons cause pops didn't change it!
Lol rebel fighter
That is EXACTLY what happens! !
hey ya'll!
i have been lurking for years on this site and others but never had the courage to post anything.
actually i was afraid of posting on an apostate site in the event i was wrong.
Your blood comment WILL come up in the conversation
It's important you make sure they know you concluded that of your own valition and not from Internet "research"
Perhaps a simple comment that wts seems to be going that way with the allowance of fractions etc
back in the early 70's there was a brother, well known in the circuit did the no no with.
a few of the young sisters in the congregation.
he was df and the word, he would never be.
I say false
But it ALL depends on the local elder bodies recommendation
All boe's are different
I knew a guy who was never given a single privilege in 10 years of working hard in the cong because he told his mother to "F off" ONE time and his old school PO nailed him to the cross for it
Even called his new cong and told boe not to appt him. That was how he found out what old PO was doing

I've heard so many "demon attack" stories
To this day I still frustrate my family when I refuse to agree with them about demons
My question to them is: "what are you doing that invites so many demons into your home?"
They don't like that question
At the end of the day, every person I've ever known that has shared a demon story with me had been a heavy drug user (legal and illegal) or alcoholic
Demons don't seem to like rational sober people
one of the biggest gulfs that life has had to cross was the transition from sea to dry land.. fish have conical shaped heads, reptiles have flat heads.
fish have no necks; their heads are attached to their shoulders by a series of bony plates.
land-dwelling animals all have necks; their heads can move independently of their shoulders.
The ignorance and arrogance of evolution naysayers astounds me
Evolution is do blatantly obvious and factual yet they always seem to resort to the foolish argument where animals somehow "decided" to change based on conscious thought
Reproduction is everything. Reproduction repeated 100's millions of times. Survival of the fittest so obviously drives evolution (predator & prey) in ways we can see even today over short periods of time
Show me a half human/half monkey! They mock
So rediculous
so thinking back about the times when someone has asked my wife what religion she is.
she sheepishly and seems almost embarrassed to say she is a jehovah witness.
when someone asks me, i just say i am a christian.
Oh yes I was this way
She wants to fiT in. when she's at the kh she acts the way everyone expects and when she's around non-dubs she acts normal
She may be battling a need to be accepted
I remember this feeling starting my path of eye opening
I couldn't understand why I wasn't so happy and bubbley like "all the other Bros & sis's"
If I'm doing everything right why aren't I happy?
I knew deep down I was faking it in the truth and I decided to PROVE it to myself I really did LOVE the truth
Within about 3 hours of proving to myself I loved the truth I knee TTATT and I was mentally free
It all made sense
"and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.
for the old world and its evils are gone forever.
" rev.
And what about if someone chooses to disobey jehovah in perfection?
Satan was perfect yet he disobeyed
Since jehovahs name will already have been sanctified the answer I've always understood is the disobedient one would be executed immediately
What of their family? No tears? No sorrow?
Living in a world where disobedience means instant death and survivors are incapable of feeling anything but pleasure all the time?
What a joke
