The “Good Provider”

by Captain Schmideo2 in

jw

anyone besides my mom ever use this term for describing their husband, especially one that was not a “spiritual lead” in the family?.

this sounds like a term to use instead of the more truthful “i don’t really love him anymore, he is a disappointment to me, but as long as he brings in the money to pay the bills and puts food on the table for my children, i guess i will put up with it.”.

thoughts?.

I knew of two witness women who kept living with their adulterous husbands because he put a roof over their heads. At least one of the was really stuck in a bad situation and needed the roof. She ended up with cancer, and while keeping his other woman, he did look after her some--and she wasn't going easy on him! The other may have been able to provide for herself but she said, he picked the bloom off of this rose and now he can have the thorns! Then there was the Mom of a girl who said of the girl's fiance, at least he will work.

Having a good provider in a family is a good thing. So many men want the woman to take care of them! A lot of women will KEEP a man, just to have a man around. So there are those who want sugar mommas and those who want sugar daddies. Then there are couples who both have to work just to keep a home for themselves and their kids. There are so called Spiritual brothers who expect their wives to work and provide for themselves. They couldn't take care of their spiritual obligations if the wife wasn't working as well. How many "brothers" can take off work and work construction for the org if their wives weren't working paying the bills while he got in his brownie points?

I always thought waiting to get reinstated didn't go along with the idea that God is ready to forgive. Well, Looks like God was/is, but the elders liked the power of judging others. As to marking, that will come easy for the judgemental JW. I remember well, before c19, I was often invited to go to lunch with some of the "friends". I was vocal about the jabs not being something God would approve and I never got them. When the lockdowns let up, I heard of the people in the group I used to go with getting together, but I never got another invite. I had been marked because I didn't drink the koolaid.

skim through the pages, and on page 5, I just thought the artwork on Jesus's now was very odd...is my imagination running wild because of other posting about artwork on this forum?

Hey, Regarding the "Resurrection" thing and the WT denial of the Mt 27:51-53 incident...

by FragrantAddendum in

so according to bible.

elisha's bones were there when jehovah resurrected some other dude.

jesus could heal from a distance by power of god.

I think this is a JW reasoning on that scripture but I tend to think it correct. The earth quaked. The tombs opens. Bodie became apparent. There is nothing I read in the verses that suggest these bodies were raised from the dead, but rather, the dead bodies appeared having been thrown out of the graves. If those bodies had been made aive, isn't it likely more details on the subject would have been provided. Why were they afraid? If dead ones were coming back to life, wouldn't someone have written about how the people were rejoiceing?

why don't german police just use guns?.

so I think it was an newcastor who used the word irregardless for the word regardless, and somehow the word irregardless ( which wasn't a word? ) has stuck in people's vocabulary

TonusOH...some of the questions I ask them, they ask me back, like would Jesus do that-as in expect money from the government? and I would say no. Sometimes when they queried back, I would pin them down with what do you think. At anyrate, they were in agreement with what I was saying about religions making money from the governments and investments in war equipment UNTIL I told them JW did it and it was how do you know and they started to down play it. I hope the conversation sticks with them and annoys them into research. I think they felt comfortable with my questions because they were clueless that JWs were who I was speaking of because I would say, what do you think of a religion that would..........?

JWs obtaining fake degrees from a US institution to teach English as a foreign language

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

teaching english as a foreign language in asian countries is quite popular for those looking to travel and explore and make some money.

if you have the tefl qualification you're pretty much good to go and don't need a degree.i don't know how lucrative these overseas jobs are but i do know one jw from my congregation in england who decided to move to the caribbean and teach english as a foreign language.

i'm not knocking this individual.

I had heard the JW get visas to go to other countries to preach by going in as teachers ( sign language comes to mind ) It's an opening they wouldn't otherwise have to get into the countries legally. So this "school" appears to be one step along the way. I wouldn't be surprised to learn a JW operates it. It really boils down to getting a visa under false pretenses if someone isn't actually going in to teach language-which those who think they are going where the need is greater are not!

Deep study

by road to nowhere in

wifes friend had to go home to deep study the sunday article.

does that mean not skimming headings?

the last deep thing i remember was babylon book and it was a perfect fit except none of it came true.

enoughisenough

that outlandish REV book we studied should have woken us up. I remember thining something along the lines of how do they know this applies to JW ( like the locust with the stinging tails being a stinging message that the witnesses brings and the witnesses being everywhere so they couldn't avoid it. ( something like that-it's been years ) But with that book and many others they twist scriptures into knots to make it fit the witnesses. Many times I thought this is just conjecture yet I was guilty of group think. As far as deep study an WT article, they have dumbed those articles down so a 1-3 grade student can get it. ( See Ted Run. Obey Governing Body )

I am thinking I was one of their more interesting encounters in the invite work! So do you think they go tell some of their friends of the weirdo they met today or do they keep their mouth shut rather than relate what i said? It is possible they will figure out I am "apostate" to them. Maybe not! I wish they would come back. I have more to say.
