  Armageddon Is Right Around the Corner!

  by Cold Steel in

  if one were to poll present day jehovah's witnesses, what kind of a timeframe do you think they have for armageddon?.

  do they still discourage higher education despite the fact they've been wrong so many times?.

  one more thing about armageddon...how do they think it's going to start?

  JW's will foam at the mouth if you pray to Jesus? Do they try to tell you this prior to the big sting?

  it took me 7 years to figure out that jeho's are mortified to sit in the room if you pray to jesus.

  i've prayed to jesus my entire life.

  i tell my estranged spouse that she can pound sand if she doesn't like me praying to jesus with my two little girls.. i tell her and her mom to pound lots and lots of sand if you think i"m going to stop praying to jesus.

  How do you figure " But so that we may not cause offense" were Peter's words?

  It's obvious Jesus paid the tax so as to "not cause offense". Not because it was the "right" thing to do, or because they were enthusiastic about it.

  mP:

  Jesus says the same, after all he encourages people to be obedient to all government paying their taxes multiple times. The story of J & Mary travelling is another example of extreme obedience. Even with a pregnant wife Joseph will do anything to pay his taxes.

  Jesus didn't sound too overly enthusiastic about paying taxes. It sounds more like he paid the tax begrudgingly.

  24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”

  25 “Yes, he does,” he replied.

  When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own children or from others?”

  26 “From others,” Peter answered.

  “Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him. 27 “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”

  I suspect a lot of the older ones see it for what it is. They cling on because all their friends are "in the truth", they gave up on worldly friends decades ago, and it's really hard to make new friends at that age. They're just going through the motions, putting in a token amount of "field service" each month. And like you said they're waiting on Jehovah to fix things.

  Fondling the breasts of someone you are not married to on numerous occasions

  So it's OK a few times? Just don't make a habit of it.

  It's a bit disturbing that "Associating with disfellowshipped nonrelatives" is higher up the list than "Child sexual abuse". I'm assuming the list is in some sort of order. Having murder first, then, adultry, fornication ... etc.

  They're still playing the same game. I can't tell you how much pain shunning caused our family when growing up.

  Shunning is based on a fawed interpretation of 1 Corinthians 5:11-13.

  by Frazzled UBM in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  it is hard to work out where to begin.

  i have been reading excerpts from this websikte for a long time and it along with a lot of the other sites have been incredibly helpful in helping me to understand what i have got myself into but i alos have no intention of getting out.

  i love my wife dearly but in the 9 years i ahve known her and the 2.5 years we ahve been married i have gone through the full gammit of emotions, trials and trbulations and tactics to try to get her to understand that the society is not what it claims to be but to no avail.

  I'm saving up those pre "Stay alive till 1975" propaganda clips for when my kids are of college age. The ones that say it's pointless to study.
