  in regards to AAWA

  oh how i wish i could just write out something that would cause you all to know and understand that what i say is true.

  or i wish i could tell yall that i am going to do something like cause an earthquake (with jehovahs spirit backing me) at a certain place and time, then after i posted such info then it occurred just as i said...then maybe you would listen and believe what i say.. .

  and even more so, your lack of knowledge and belief in jehovah and in his word the bible.

  if Jehovah is allowing this to happen - to what end? I don't see how a benelovent god would need an early organization let alone allow it to have doctrines that are counterproductive to human psychology. When is it EVER right to shun a family member? If someone wants to leave, why can't they do so with no strings attached?

  He Is Risen, the axial component of christianity

  by designs in

  2. current

  sunday hundreds of millions and possibly up to two billion people will join in some service in observance of the resurrection of jesus.

  it is the central issue which takes the teachings of jesus from the philosophy of doing good to others to the ultimate truth which it claims.

  it was the axial argument of the apostle paul in 1 cor.

  Christians are all late with Easter. The spring equinox has passed. I will go to service but thankfully it won't be about Jesus. I think maybe Jesus was a historical person or persons but no more divine than any of us.

  i don't have children, and my wife and i decided not to have any, so we have kittens.

  I wish we didn't have to get our cat spay but since we got her from the rescue it was mandatory. Unfortunately it got infected so make sure kitty does not lick the incision.

  My choir is not as lively but I always wanted to sing in church. The above link is hosted via google drive but it's public so everyone should be able to view it.

  Crazy stories of JW's sacrifices

  i remember hearing of a failthful older brother who was attacked by vicious dogs while in service.

  even though his clothes were shredded and he was bleeding he continued walking door to door to finish his assigned territory for that day.

  Any "experience" that involves a child hearing the troof but the parents remain uninterested and even against it. Child studies and goes to meetings in secret. Child leaves JW publications around the house. Parents read it and become interested, get baptized, and whole family of pioneers is now in the audience with us today

  Faithful and Discreet Slave parable through the three gospels

  by pixel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is the parable of the faithful and discreet slave, put up from the three gospels, so you can see their differences (3 gospels out of 4 relate this):.

  matthew 24:42-51: (prefered by the gb/fds/gb).

  42 keep on the watch, therefore, because ?you?

  I agree with Apognophos. It's a parable not a prophecy. FDS is like a straw boss. He only has power because the owner gave it to him. The Matthew account seems to suggest that FDS was given a little bit of responsibility and then when master came back and saw that things were in order, he was given more responsibility. Mark's account suggests that more than one slave was appointed over various things, like having a cook, gardener, maid, etc. The doorkeeper or butler was told to keep watch. Maybe he was in charge of the rest? Luke seems to support Mark with there being multiple slaves; the butler, maid, cook, and gardener all help keep watch, perhaps on a rotating schedule that the butler set up.

  Great idea putting them all together! I agree with Londo111 as well. Parables are supposed to make one think about some issue, like the Good Samaritan.

  just found this on youtube.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1eic5fiywe.

  not that i blame them for making the most of an otherwise dreary event, but i've never known a memorial to be treated like a high school prom before!.

  Yup. only time other than school starting to get new clothes. We used to color coordinate or dress like twins. Then we went out to dinner afterwards.

  it was released a few months ago.

  it is not religious propaganda.

  written by dr eben alexander, a neurosurgeon, who went into a coma for a week, and his subsequent journey into the afterlife.

  Is the WTBTS Responsible for What Attendees Do After an Assembly?

  by PaintedToeNail in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is in response to jim tx's comment on another thread.

  the wtbts claims that the organizers of events such as a congregation picnic or a party are responsible for what the attendees do after the event has ended.

  example: if several people meet and engage in 'fornication' afterwards, the organizer is culpable.

  only "responsible" that any bad behavior taints Jehovah's name.
