by ballistic in

jw
friends

i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

qwerty

South Yorkshire!

Whooooooops have I said too much?

P.S I carn't see the map, just a red cross!

i live on the east coast and tonight on channel 9 news there was a story of a family who had been disfellowshipped because of a child abuse case.

i am not sure what it was all about but they showed a kingdom hall and the family was interviewed.. .

This bit is makes it sound like the WTS report........

An Urgent Problem
Assaults on children are often cloaked in secrecy, so much so that they have been called perhaps the most unreported of crimes. Even so, such crimes have evidently spiraled upward in recent decades. In the United States, a survey on the subject was conducted by the Los Angeles Times. It found that 27 percent of the women and 16 percent of the men had been sexually abused as children. Shocking as these statistics are, other careful estimates for the United States have run considerably higher.

Help this little boy!

i found this on the internet, and just had to post it here.

enjoy!.

subject: help this little boy by doing what this email says.

qwerty

I found this on the internet, and just had to post it here. Enjoy!

Subject: Help this little boy by doing what this email says. NASA and Bill Gates will help, YOU CAN TOO.

My name is Billy Evans. I am a very sick little boy.
My mother is typing this for me, because I can't. She
is crying. The reason she is so sad is because I'm so
sick. I was born without a body. It doesn't hurt,
except when I try to breathe.

The doctors gave me an artificial body. It is a burlap
bag filled with leaves. The doctors said that was the
best they could do on account of us having no money or
insurance. I would like to have a body transplant, but
we need more money.

Mommy doesn't work because she said nobody hires
crying people. I said, "Don't cry, Mommy," and she
hugged my burlap bag. Mommy always gives me hugs, even
though she's allergic to burlap and it makes her
sneeze and chafes her real bad.
I hope you will help me. You can help me if you
forward this email to everyone you know. Forward it to
people you don't know, too. Dr. Johansen said that for
every person you forward this email to, Bill Gates
will team up with AOL and send a nickel to NASA. With
that funding, NASA will collect prayers from school
children all over America and have the astronauts take
them up into space so that the angels can hear them
better. Then they will come back to earth and go to
the Pope, and he will take up a collection in church
and send all the money to the doctors. The doctors
could help me get better then. Maybe one day I will be
able to really play baseball. Right now I can only play third
base - literally.

Every time you forward this letter, the astronauts can
take more prayers to the angels and my dream will be
closer to coming true. Please help me. Mommy is so sad,
and I want a body. I don't want my leaves to rot
before I turn 10. If you don't forward this email,
that's okay. Mommy says you're a mean and heartless
bastard who doesn't care about a poor little boy with
only a head. She says that if you don't stew in the
raw pit of your own guilt-ridden stomach, she hopes
you die a long slow, horrible death and then burn
forever in hell. What kind of cruel person are you
that you can't take five minutes to forward
this to all your friends so that they can feel guilt
and shame about ignoring a poor, bodiless
nine-year-old boy?

Please help me. I try to be happy, but it's hard. I
wish I had a kitty. I wish I could hold a kitty. I
wish I could hold a kitty that wouldn't chew on me and try to bury its
turds in the leaves of my burlap body.
I wish that very much.
Thank You, Billy "Smiles" Evans

P.S. You can send money to the person who sent you this because
that person is very trustworthy. Send as much as you can.

Help from anyone on where this JW is coming from?

by stocwach in

i received this email from a jw friend:.

"another topic we got to talk about is the scripture at james 4:5. i would.

love to know your understanding of who the writer was quoting from.

qwerty

Mmmmmmmm a few other translations say.......
After there are a few WTS Quotes.

-- King James
James 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

-- New King James
James 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously''?

-- American Standard
James 4:5 Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?

-- Living Bible
James 4:5 Or what do you think the Scripture means when it says that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us, watches over us with tender jealousy?

-- Revised Standard
James 4:5 Or do you suppose it is in vain that the scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit which he has made to dwell in us"?

-- Simple English
James 4:5 The Scripture says that there is a spirit living in you that makes you want to do wrong. Do you think the Scripture says this for nothing?

-- Transliterated, Pronounceable
James 4:5 Ee' dokei'te ho'ti kenoo's hee grafee' le'gei,"Pro's ftho'non epipothei' to' pneu'ma ho' katoo'kisen enheemi'n,"

-- Transliterated, Unaccented
James 4:5 E dokeite hoti kenos he grafe legei,"Pros fthonon epipothei to pneuma ho katokisen enhemin,"

-- New American Standard
James 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: "He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?

-- New Jerusalem with Apocrypha
James 4:5 Can you not see the point of the saying in scripture, "The longing of the spirit he sent to dwell in us is a jealous longing."?

-- New American with Apocrypha
James 4:5 Or do you suppose that the scripture speaks without meaning when it says, "The spirit that he has made to dwell in us tends toward jealousy"?

-- New Revised Standard with Apocrypha
James 4:5 Or do you suppose that it is for nothing that the scripture says, "God {Gk [He]} yearns jealously for the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"?

NWT
*** Rbi8 James 4:4-6 ***
4 Adulteresses, do YOU not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God. 5 Or does it seem to YOU that the scripture says to no purpose: "It is with a tendency to envy that the spirit which has taken up residence within us keeps longing"? 6 However, the undeserved kindness which he gives is greater. Hence it says: "God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones."

A few WTS literature quotes...I hope these help....

Cross Ref's of James 4:5...
*** Rbi8 Genesis 8:21 ***
21 And Jehovah began to smell a restful odor, and so Jehovah said in his heart: "Never again shall I call down evil upon the ground on man's account, because the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up; and never again shall I deal every living thing a blow just as I have done.

Explaination the Borg give....
*** it-1 1253-4 James, Letter of ***
Some had fallen into the snare of looking to those more prominent and rich and showing favoritism. (Jas 2:1-9) They failed to discern what they really were in God's eyes and were hearers of the word but not doers. (1:22-27) They had begun to use their tongues wrongly, and their cravings for sensual pleasure were causing fights among them. (3:2-12; 4:1-3) Their desire for material things had brought some into the position of being friends of the world and therefore, not chaste virgins, but spiritual "adulteresses," at enmity with God.-4:4-6.

*** w95 9/15 4 What You Should Know About Jealousy ***
True Christians do not take part in this world's wars. (John 17:16) Sadly, though, individual Christians sometimes get embroiled in verbal fights. If other members of the congregation take sides, these fights can turn into harmful verbal wars. "From what source are there wars and from what source are there fights among you?" the Bible writer James asked fellow believers. (James 4:1) He answered that question by exposing their materialistic greed and added, "You go on . . . coveting," or being "jealous." (James 4:2, footnote) Yes, materialism can lead to coveting and being jealous of those who seem to enjoy better circumstances. For this reason, James warned against the human "tendency to envy."-James 4:5.

*** w97 11/15 19-20 Faith Makes Us Patient and Prayerful ***
4 Worldliness, envy, and pride existed among certain early Christians. (James 4:4-6) James calls some "adulteresses" because they were friends of the world and thus guilty of spiritual adultery. (Ezekiel 16:15-19, 25-45) Surely, we do not want to become worldly in attitude, speech, and actions, for that would make us God's enemies. His Word shows us that "a tendency to envy" is part of the bad inclination, or "spirit," in sinful humans. (Genesis 8:21; Numbers 16:1-3; Psalm 106:16, 17; Ecclesiastes 4:4) So if we realize that we need to fight envy, pride, or some other bad inclination, let us seek God's help by holy spirit. That force, supplied by God's undeserved kindness, is greater than "a tendency to envy." And whereas Jehovah opposes the proud, he will give us undeserved kindness if we fight sinful tendencies.

*** w98 9/1 12-13 Keep Safe as Part of God's Organization ***
19 Whom can we blame if we find wrong thinking taking root in our heart? Satan? To a degree, yes. He is "the ruler of the authority of the air" of this world, in which such attitudes are widespread. (Ephesians 2:1, 2; Titus 2:12) Usually, though, the roots of wrong thinking lie in our own imperfect flesh. After warning against friendship with the world, James wrote: "Does it seem to you that the scripture says to no purpose: 'It is with a tendency to envy that the spirit which has taken up residence within us keeps longing'?" (James 4:5)

The above from a JW point of view might help you see what the Dub is trying to get at
