even though it has been years since i last stepped into a kingdom hall, it is only recently that i have accepted the idea that the jws are a cult.
the word cult has such a horrible connotation, i mentally reserved it for the most overtly offensive groups.
then, last evening, i went to mass with my husband.
Hi Fran
I agree with you on the comments you have made regarding cults,i went to a Christian meeting 2 nights ago they are called Life Spring and apparently they were founded in Brooklyn NY IN THE 50s I think. I decided to go because they gave out this leaflet saying how they are geared towards helping our young who have drug and drink problems.I stayed for 1 hour,i listen to some of the stories that were told by the teenagers themselves and how the had found Jesus,i was a little disturbed by that as i felt they were just putting a plaster over their wounds.I feel that organised religion is not the answer to these kind of problems as i feel that instead of finding God or Jesus the Key is to finding themselves first.Life Spring is part of the Assemblies of God,an offshoot so to speak.I also found out that The new Detective who has just moved into our town is a big Life Spring member.As the evening moved on there was a band playing Christian music and then praise the lord and Amens and the rest, were shouted out,then i made my getaway.

i think it's time bethel got a new sign out front, one that really speaks volumes and is far more suitable to their "read god's word the bible daily.
i was thinking: .
oh what a web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!
What about NO ROOM AT THE INN,
or BED AND BREAKFAST AT THE BETHEL BROTHERS BROTHEL
I dare you to say that fast without drawing breath.

i feel sorry for y'all, it's a shame millions are turning away from the bible> make note: you cant not believe in god the father & the messiah if you do not believe in the bible .
jesus: surely i come quickly> christ time period is different than man eyes... same as jehovah, but know that armageddon will come!
u2k: changing the world this dec, watch how i help the world, doing everything for jehovah god & the messiah, continue to watch 24/7 and survive till the end of age, and to stand before the son of man- luke 21:36 *crying* .

hi .
i want to direct this question mainly to those who are still jws who post on this board,xjws please feel free to comment.. if the governing body were to call on you all including your children to congregate together each at it's respective kingdom halls,as persecution of gods people has reached it's climax and you have to fight to the death,would you follow that call.

i was born in to your so-called visible earthly organization.
you taught me well; with the intimate details in the machinery you call the society.
you assumed that your strict exercises would suppress my ability to achieve a free mind.
HI D8TA
MORE POWER TO YOUR ELBOW,I WISH I COULD WRITE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT'S AWESOME.
the last time i saw my children the 5 year old brings me a new video tape she wants to watch.
it was from grandma.
there it was, the story of noah brought to you by none other than the wtbts...needless to say it went right into the trash.
Hi Valis
A few months ago my son went to stay at his big brothers house as he has a son a little younger,my daughter-in-law phoned me and said was it alright that my son went along with them to KH as there was no-one to look after him if he stayed home i said my son has the freedom to chose what he wishes to do,as my son wanted to stay at his brothers he said tes he would go.When my son came home a couple of days later he said Mum i will never go there again to KH it is the most boring place i have ever been too.Not a potential JW in the offing i thought.

i read lots of books on religion and spiritualality and have done for many years and when i come across words that make an impression on me i always right them down.i was going through alot of these writings the other day and i found this,could i share it with you all.. religion is to serve god by serving his children.
religion has little to do with the conventional idea's of the world.
religion is that which enables god in you to be revealed in your life.
Hi everyone
I read lots of books on Religion and Spiritualality and have done for many years and when i come across words that make an impression on me i always right them down.I was going through alot of these writings the other day and i found this,could i share it with you all.
Religion is to serve God by serving His children. Religion has little to do with the conventional idea's of the world. Religion is that which enables God in you to be revealed in your life. Religion is that which increases the tie between you and God and between you and His other children. Religion is that which makes you go out into the world and give service where ever you can,Religion is service and service is Religion.
All else does not matter. When the physical body falls away the creeds over which human beings have for so long fought and striven are shown to be empty and vain,meaningless and purposeless,for they have not aided the growth of the soul one iota. The growth of the soul is only increased by service,for has you forget the self in the service of others so your own soul grows in stature and in strenght. There have been for so long too many so called Religions,each with a variation of a message. The things they hold most dear are in reality no value. The things for which they have, in the past,caused blood to flow,tortured,maimed and burned do not increase the spirit of man one inch.They have divided mankind into opposite camps;they have created barriers;they have caused needless differences in countries and in families. They have caused disputes;they have done every thing that stands for disruption and disharmony.They have failed to unite the children of God.That is why we care not for buildings and conventional Religion. We are not concerned what a man calls himself. It is what he does that matters.
