Did you feel contempt for Non Witnesses

by Steel in

the other day i went to this farm owned by this jw lady with my wife being a jw and my mother being a non witness.

later taking to my mother she noticed this vibe like this jw lady really hated her.

she just had these little slags like when we tried to pay for the fruit we picked , she looked directly at my wife and said " don't worry about it, i only charge wordly people ".. i also have this aunt who is a jw we are estranged from.

Never, and I never saw it either. Only once I heard from a not so exemplarly brother that worldly people were the dead men walking, and it was quite shocking.

They hate "the world" as a whole, not the individuals living in it, and they also look down on witnesses doing something they dissaprove of, like starting a relationship with a worldly person, dressing worldly or displaying any other worldly behaviour.

Not mixing with the world can be missundertstood as contempt but it's not. They truly want to help those people they keep their distance from.

I don't get it - Marriage in WT world

by menrov in

in wt world, a marriage is only seen (considered) as legal if it is registered in the municipality (or similar governmental organisation).

now, if you look at the scriptures, there was no requirement to have a marriage legally registered in order to be considered married.

is it not strange that the wt subjects themselves to and adopts an worldly arrangement setup but governments rules by satan when it comes to a marital status?.

The Supreme Court says marriage is a constitutional right. Thus there is no need for a license or permit. If preaching is a right and we don't need a permit, then same with marriage.

I think is very romantic to be married in the eyes of God and also in the eyes of Satan, like Jehovah's Witnesses do without giving much thought to it.

The most honorable way to start a family is still getting legally married. Of course if you believe the State is in the hands of the Devil, it doesn't make any sense to do it.

And they say Feminism is destroying families, not alegal practices like prostitution, concubinate, poligamy or marrying for fiscal purposes.

Watchtower Study 23rd August

by BluesBrother in

the subject is searching for lost sheep.

how do the congregation view the inactive ones who no longer associate?

not with disdain, we are told but as lost sheep “still our brothers “ it is said that god loves them and they too must do what they can to help them.. why have we strayed ?

I've been there. I've been that sister in the bus thinking to myself: they look so much better from the distance.

I don't get it - Praying before eating while ...

by menrov in

i noticed recently.

there was an item in the news on some terrible / horrific child pornography in germany.

really disgusting to hear what these people were doing with children as young as a few months.

Thanking god for the food he's provided for you is also saying that he is responsible for NOT providing food for the millions who are malnourished or starving.

Maybe you are the one feeding yourself, which is also saying you are doing it at their expense.

Was It Designed? (My head hurts)

by Cadellin in

i know i shouldn't--i tell myself this over and over--but i can't help peeking at these silly articles.

and then i see this and my head really starts hurting: so the gannet, if you don't know (and why would you?

) is a seabird that feeds on fish.

Animals eat meat as they are all part of a natural circular ecosystem. If they were all vegetarian, what would happen to dead corpses?

Humans probably started eating meat in extreme conditions, as the human being doesn't need to do the job of any animal and eating meat is quite disgusting if you think about it.

Unless you believe that humans are just evolved piranhas, termites, sharks or vultures.

There's a theory that humans are not the last link in the food chain and humans have an invisible predator.

If you want to end the evil you see in the world you'll have to do your part, remembering that every good gift comes from God.

Those masks are a great idea. You can count the time while shopping groceries, working or attending class.

What is it you don't get? Jehovah's Witnesses are strict followers of the Law of the land in everything, as long as it doesn't conflict with their doctrine.
