Happiness - Evidence of God's blessing?

by Esse quam videri in

people from dissimilar groups appear equally as happy.. is happiness a sign of spiritual blessings or rather minds manipulated by people or organizations?.

Personally, i was happy when i was blinded to TTATT. Life was good. I was happy thinking i Knew all the answers to all life's big questions.

Now I am awake to TTATT, i am still happy. I am happy knowing i had the mental capacity to wake myself up from this weird cult. And i'm happy knowing the world isn't such a bad place and i can achieve whatever i put my mind and effort to.

The phrase "JWs are the happiest people on earth" is a bit pathetic really. People are either prone to happiness, or are prone to sadness. EACH INDIVIDUAL makes that choice themselves.

I have met an equal amount of miserable JWs and happy JWs. Both Positive and negative.

I have known a few people before becoming JWs (when they were studying) and they were pretty miserable. After they got baptized they were still miserable. Basically, they are prone to negative feelings, and a sad, negative outlook.

Same has worked the other way.

It is the same with any en-devour in life, not just religion. Employment, education, wife/husband.

You are invited to sit down with the GB members..

by James Mixon in

you have the opportunity to sit and discuss what's on your mind.. what would you tell them??.

my question, do you men have a heart, how do you sleep at nights??.

why do you think jehovah pick you to feed the sheep??.

I'd ask why they wear so much jewelry.

Showy display much?

I would quiz them on current "WT troof", and see how versed on the bible (and their own theology) they really are.

If you are single and have married friends, . . .

by compound complex in

jw
friends

is your sense of loneliness (if you are lonely) heightened when you see what they share?

how do cope (if you are coping) with a sense of isolation, of not having a significant other?.

i know some single persons who are very happy as they are.

campaign of hate

A good 90% of my married JW friends, i would say, look unhappy. A lot got married young, and seem to moan about not getting "any action", or that the wife is being a bitch.....A lot recommend not getting married. An alarming number argue in public as well.

When i see what they share, i'm pretty happy being single and independent.

I have a few married non JW friends, most look happy. I'm guessing it's because if they weren't happy they would split up? Or maybe because they both have good careers..Go Figure.

The non JW married life seems a bit more My Thing.

I think that you are in the best situation if your in a good, happy state, and you decide to get married.

Do i get lonely? Yes, sometimes desperately lonely. But, it doesn't mean i'm sad. I'm quite a happy guy. The two, in my mind, do not go hand in hand. Loneliness doesn't = Sad. That is a Hollywood invention.

I've already made up my mind not to marry a JW girl, doesn't matter how nice they are. That's inviting WAY too much drama into my life knowing what i know about "the truth". I'll marry once i'm "out". And if i don't, well, it's better to have a life time of loneliness, than a lifetime of unhappiness, sadness & frustration.

How do i cope with any loneliness now? I like to have a few hobby's, and having a long term plan/goal on the back burner really helps.

Just my thoughts.

Religion is dying a slow death!!!

by ADJUSTMENTS in

jw
friends

religion has run its course, it was used as a way to control growing populations and to give the human race a sense of direction almost like training wheels.

religion has gone on a path of no return... that includes the only true religion of jw's!!!

I would say Christianity may be dying in western countries, but other non christian religions in other countries are alive and kicking.

Are we heading for III World War?

by abiather in

the leaders of russia, germany, france and ukraine are slated to meet in minsk (the belarusian capital) tomorrow to discuss a ukrainian peace plan!

some countries such as hollande believe there is going to be a total war.

when they met last year in the same place, they had put forward a peace plan (a ceasefire, withdrawal of artillery, prisoner exchanges and other concessions) that were never fully implemented!

campaign of hate

I believe the leaders in all countries believe that there is an out of control population growth on the planet.

People are also living longer in western societies.

To alleviate the problem, have a massive world war. cut down numbers from 7 Billion to 1 Billion.

I think it's highly plausible.

Matthew 1:17 & 42 Generations

by campaign of hate in

if we are to look at matthew 1:17, looks like there were 42 generations from abraham to jesus.. if we take 1948 bce (abraham's birth) and we take it to jesus baptisim (29 ce) we get to 1,977 years.. so lets divide 1977 years by 42 (the amount of generations), we get to around 47 years for one generation.. 1 generation = 47 years.. 1 generation + an overlapping generation (1 generation more) = 94 years.. this is all in the first chapter of the new testament..... comments welcome.....

If we are to look at Matthew 1:17, looks like there were 42 generations from Abraham to Jesus.

If we take 1948 BCE (Abraham's birth) and we take it to Jesus baptisim (29 CE) we get to 1,977 years.

So lets divide 1977 years by 42 (the amount of generations), we get to around 47 years for one generation.

1 generation = 47 years.

1 generation + an overlapping generation (1 generation more) = 94 years.

This is all in the first chapter of the New Testament....

Comments welcome....

New LDC Meeting KH Video

by wifibandit in

been away from the site for a few days...because i have been busy getting these!!!!!!

(pixel, thank you!

) they did not make it easy, plus technical difficulties.. for the main attraction:.

campaign of hate

I'm sorry, but when did people care about overcrowding?

Growing up, it was usually a good thing when there wasn't any seats left at the meeting, and some had to stand. It was more bragging rights for that particular cong, and in a weird way everyone felt "upbuilt"....

I honestly don't know what to make of it all. KH construction in the western world should be a non issue.

Why would the rank and file complain about overcrowding when, probably 90% (estimate), live in boxy accommodation due to the WT policies of no college education etc. Doesn't make any sense.

Why are the WT being so hostile and bullish with their approach, and pretty much ordering elders not to say ANYTHING negative.

It is obviously about money, but why?

GB do not directly benefit in a monetary way. FACT. Although they DO live a cushy lifestyle, you can not quantify it by money. It is not theirs.

People say lawyers and PR people benefit. Yes, they probably do, but they will be on a WAGE, like they would be earning working for any other cooperate company.

Wheres all the money going? What are they going to do with old buildings? What is the point of it all?

So many questions that only people at the very top would know.

It's about time for another high level defector, it's can only be a matter of time.

It must be of concern to the GB with all the information that is been leaked now

by joe134cd in

i was just watching cedars prank call to tomo3.

by the way lloyd very well done and totally funny.

but on a more serious note (and i think what must be of concern to the gb) are the amount of leaks that must be occurring at a senior level or at least by a person who has access to sensitive information.

campaign of hate

I don't think the GB have quite worked out that anything they in any video WILL be recorded and copied, and will NEVER disappear from the public domain. EVER.
