Since the $US is twice the value of the $AUD, perhaps the Americans here could chip in $5 of their money, and that will convert to $10AUD!

New light, new light!!

Setting: A sister and her householder, as per a #3 talk.

The Talk: The sister and her householder has a chat about the material for the talk, say on the subject of blood transfusions, prophecy or any other so-called Biblical subjects.

In the course of the talk, the householder begins to ask questions, such as:

"Where's the biblical backing for rejecting plasma, but not other blood fractions?"

"How can they say that Jesus 'returned' in 1914, when they were themselves preaching he had already 'returned' in 1874 during 1914?"

"How did the Governing Body decide that they were the GB?"

The sister then tries to explain, using non-logic and pretends to get flustered, unable to explain the answers, while the householder brings up WT quotes and plain reasoning!

Result: Gives the sister, who was planning to leave with a great exit, the chance to show up the WT's unScriptural and false explanations and reasoning on things.

And the audience will be talking about that talk for a VERY long time to come!

did you talk to the elders?

by Moxy in

on your way out, did you have the 'talk' with an elder?

(or elders?

) the kind of, 'excuse me, brother only-elder-who-i-really-trust, i've been having serious doubts about such-and-such and i would really appreciate it if you could help me see if i'm missing something, i sincerely want to know...'.

Prisca

I had a couple of "shepherding visits" aka we-wanna-know-whatcha-been-up-to visits, where I tested them out on some minor issues. Their lame explanations and lack of really understanding the problem(s) I was presenting helped me to realise there was no point to try them with the heavier stuff.

So in a way, it helped me as I was on the way out, as it showed me if I had presented them with the heavier stuff (ie my "apostate" ideas) then I would have been putting my head on the chopping block.

As far as I'm concerned they are as useful as a wet towel. I'm not knocking all elders, but it does help to realise God's Spirit isn't acting behind them, otherwise you'll be sorely disappointed!

Each day with JW boyfriend....

by Camay in

is becoming more & more intolerable, this fool has now taken.

to sleeping on the sofa and thinks he will be able to get a apartment.

with horrible credit.. i am trying not to become bitter and mean but its very hard, to see a grown man whine about his "soul" and the more i think about it.

Prisca

Camay,

I'm sorry that your b/f has decided to choose his religion over you, especially after spending 4 years with him!

As Stephanus and slipnslidemaster have said, it's time to kick him out and make him act his age and face the consequences. It's sounds brutal, but you deserve to find someone who respects and appreciates you.

Wishing you all the best.

the master spoke saying,.

"no one knows the son except the father, and no one knows the father except the son.

and to whomever the son is willing, he reveals him.".

JT - I love you man!

while i would never tell you what to post, but there is something about being on a jw board and having some poster come out and say
YOU NEED TO BE SAVED
it is as if all the posters go: "HERE WE GO AGAIN"

How did you read my mind??

After reading this, I'm glad that I didn't knock on the doors of those that had "NO SOLICITING" signs on their doors. I respected the householder's right to say who he did/didn't want to come calling, even if I didn't agree with it (I was one of those enthusiastic publishers, lol).

Prisca, tempted to print out one of those signs, LOL.
