under instruction from the slave, any brother not properly dressed for a meeting is not to have any congregation priviledges (hold mics, talk, attendent, magazines, reading).

Looked like a lesbian?
Portia DeRossi has pretty, blond, long hair.
So I guess that means sisters can't have long blond hair either?

Just sayin....

Christ's Intent

by jgnat in

i was recently challenged by someone who sincerely believed they were speaking for christ.

if christ spoke dire warnings to those who would not follow him, can't his mouthpiece do the same today?

there are so many assumptions tied along that road i barely know how to start.

Of course most of the examples are from the book of Acts....that's when the Christian congregation began to take root. And those of the congregation were Christ's followers (ergo, the name "Christian"), and they were persecuted, just as Jesus said they would be.

Jehovah`s Witnesses are a religion of HATE . And God is a God of love

by smiddy in

jw
friends

does that sound harsh ?

well lets see now ,i was a faithful slave/servant/ member /volunteer (oops cant say that ) for 33 years , and i was taught to hate all that was bad , any and everything the watchtower said was bad , including my own shortcomings and sinful tendencies of youth , to be approved by jehovah i had to hate what was bad ,especially , false religion , not just any religion but false religion.

now while i had my ups and downs with my own imperfections ,sinfull state and desires of youth , i maintained a steadfast hatred of false religion.. now who were they saying was false religion , why it was the various jewish faiths (which jw`s had a foundation on ) certainly the eastern religions ,hinduism ,shintoism ,the islamic , definetly the african demonistic practices ,as well as the south american superstitious religions,in other words every religion other than the jehovah`s witnesses.. but they have a special hatred of christendom and an even more pronounced hatred of the catholic religion.

The Jehovah's Witnesses worship a god with a split personality: They teach that he is merciful, loving and kind, while at the same time teaching that he is vengeful, rigid, and inflexible.

Sex Offender Sues For Right To Go Door to Door - Betrayed by WT for Lying

by Mythbuster in

what he claimed was "required":.

http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/03/10/25418.htm.

lawrence bullard says he should be allowed to proselytize door-to-door twice a week with other witnesses, as their religion requires.. .

JWOP

Isn't there 15 minute increments, incidental witnessing, telephone witnessing, letter writing witnessing, and such? This guy is OBVIOUSLY trying to get some "one-on-one" time with potential victims, because there are PLENTY of other opportunities for preaching beyond the door-to-door method!

"Kingdom Hall Survival Guide" Cooking For The Kooks!

by Bubblegum Apotheosis in

sister kook's husband was admitted into the emergency room for a pain in his chest.

the phone rang on a sunday night, and elder joe asked if i could make a meal for "dear sister kook", "you know she has been a pillar for our congregation?

" i thought to myself "really, she seemed like a foul old bitch, angry at any noise a child or infant would make.

JWOP

Wow. What an ungrateful "w"itch.

I remember twice when the congregation cooked for us:

(1) We were living in one city, and I was bedridden with a severe medical problem. My poor hubby had to take care of me, two toddlers, house duties, cooking, and whatever. My congregation was kind enough to feed us a large supper each night (even though hubby was not a JW) for the six weeks that I was bedridden. And the meals were DELICIOUS, and we ATE them.

(2) A few years later we were living in another city. We had survived a major car accident which left our children in the hospital for about six weeks. This new congregation also fed us every night AND gave us transportation to the hospital to see our children (40 miles away) practically every day. Again, the meals were DELICIOUS, and we ATE them.

I can't imagine wanting people to cook for you, and then throwing it away.
God saw that. It'll come back on her.

There are so many assumptions tied along that road I barely know how to start. My awakening began as many of those base assumptions have been demolished. I can no longer hang my life on a bible verse.

Is it reasonable or even likely that all revelation ended 2,000 years ago? If so, that's severe divine neglect.
Christ made a fundamental error in prophecy. He sent out his followers to preach the message and told them to expect persecution. They did not.
After this failure, Jesus tried to force a conclusion by offering up himself as a sacrifice. His prophecy was buillt in the context of his culture and his time.
His prophecies have no currency.

Assumptions demolished, new foundation.

We have had great thinkers since Christ.
We are released from fear of imminent doom, expectation of persecution, and the division of the world between damned and angels.

There you go. This is where thinking has got me.

My Response:

Many things revealed in the Bible have already occured, and yet many more things revealed in the Bible are yet waiting to occur. Since we are STILL in the process of going through these Bible revelations there is no need for more at this time, since we are still working through these current ones. Once these things come near their finish, then further revelation WILL occur when the End Times happen (Daniel 8:15-19; Daniel 12:4,9-10; Acts 2:17-21 ).

Therefore, revelation did not END 2,000 years ago, as I believe the Scriptures say that more revelation is to come when the time is appropriate.

Christ's followers did not experience persecution? Really?

Let's look at this:
Matthew 14:1-11 -- John the Baptist was imprisoned, and eventually killed for speaking the truth.
Acts 5:17-21 -- Some unnamed Apostles were imprisoned for preaching the Gospel.
Acts 8:3 -- Saul was dragging all Christians out of their homes and imprisoning them.
Acts 12:1-2 -- James was killed by the sword for the Gospel.
Acts 12:3-5 -- The Apostle Peter was imprisoned for preaching the Gospel.
Acts 16:19-24 -- The Apostle Paul, and Silas, were falsly accused, beaten, and imprisoned. In fact, Paul never got out of prison as far as I know.

Jesus didn't "force" ANYTHING. According to Scripture, His primary reason for being on Earth was for the sacrifice, and several hundred prophecies prove this.(I can give Scriptural proof on this if you wish)

Unfortunately, you are listening to a person who is NOT listening to the Bible.
