  I can relate this to children of parents.

  With lovingly father and mother, we as a kid will "complain" just to gain attraction, we will cry out loud, for instance, we will be kidding with our parents.

  As we grow older, we put all the burden to ourselves. We are the one to take care of ourselves, independently.

  With lovingly Heavenly Father, even we as adult feel likewise to our dear parents during our childhood. We will do what the JWs do as if God is hearing our complaints.

  Not Forsaking Christian Gatherings

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  at the meeting this week, there was a part about placing our trust in jehovah and not worrying about food and shelter (mat 6:33).

  the part was based on the 2013 yearbook p138 and 139 where there were two examples:.

  a family went to their convention leaving their chickens unattended for a number of days, worried about if they would survive.

  We worship God out of love, and with this great intense of love, we would not expect any favors in return.

  We do not worship God for sustenance and covering, do we?

  To 4 posters above:

  A great thanks for offering the tips and advice.

  Why not in your reply you ever think of making friend with me? JWN is my second choice, if not real JWs. After all, they were the ones who had brotherhood love that I am familiar with, or the closest to JW as a whole.

  I especially wonder xelder were you an elder?

  Tea Party with a Cultist

  first off, americans, i'm not talking the boston tea party, here.. .

  think more along the lines of the mad hatter's tea party.. .

  i was imagining the different approach we take talking our loved-ones, depending on whether they are in their cult mode or natural mode.

  What's with all the JWs unleashing the hate!?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of us here on jwn, while we can get a bit narky at times, can put forth intelligent arguments and sound observations.

  sure we can get bogged down with our opinions, but generally we back up our opinions with examples and evidence, and if someone has a different opinion with examples and evidence, we accept that without recriminations.

  that's what adults do.. so my question is, why in the last week or so, have a couple of posters claiming to be jws come onto this forum and berated, spewed hate and judgement, and in some cases verbally attacked members personally?

  I agreed with 3rdgen.

  WTS discourages any of them to even visit apostate sites.

  If anyone of them did, I do not think he or she is a genuine JW.

  I could not find any follow-up posts to my latest thread, so I do not know what had happened since my inactivity on this forum.

  While I do not criticize the WTBS, in fact, I still read their articles and online Bible, I am desparately in need of friends where no JWs will ever come close to me and say 'Hi'.

  I am in the dilemma. I do not reject their teaching, and yet impossible for me to return to their regular meeting, and I need real friends to talk about real subjects. What should I do?

Members did not speak to me; Elder did invite me to attend meeting again. From their perspectives, I am definitely not the same sort as theirs. What's my heart only Jehovah knows. I admitted that, though, I have a sick mind. What would the judgement be if I have splitted personality inside out and outside in?

  Any replies are mostly welcomed!

  I am surprised to see the new design of 3-in-1 JW.org. I thought I was taught that we should "quit being fashioned after this system of things".

  For a long time, I don't even know "minimal environmental impact" is part of Bible teaching. The new headquarters building will be "energy efficient" and "conserve resources", for example.

  You Can Remain Chaste in an Immoral World
  The Watchtower - July 15, 2000

  To married Christians, the apostle Paul gives this counsel: "This I say, brothers, the time left is reduced. Henceforth let those who have wives be as though they had none." (1 Corinthians 7:29) What does this entail? Well, the followers of Jesus Christ are to 'keep on seeking first the kingdom.' (Matthew 6:33) Therefore, married couples are not to be so absorbed in one another that they give Kingdom interests a secondary place in their lives.

  Stand Firm and Avoid Satan's Traps!
  The Watchtower - August 15, 2012

  To avoid adultery, you need to think deeply about what it means to be loyal to your marriage mate. Jesus said: "What God has yoked together let no man put apart." (Matthew 19:6) You should never think that your work in the congregation is more important than your marriage mate. If you are away from your mate for unnecessary reasons, your marriage may become weak. Your or your mate could be tempted to commit adultery.

  Did I misinterpret the message brought by the magazines?
