  I just loved "Moley" life in the new system thread but I have more to add.

  moley i just loved your thread on life in the new system but i was also wondering what will happen if old testament patriachs such as noah, abel, moses and others decide they do not want to be jws in the new system will they be destroyed by jehovah and jesus after all of their faithful service?

  i have always wondered about this because they are not guranteed everlasting life until they past the final test after the 1000 year reign of jesus.

  what happens if moses is angry with jehovah after he is reserrected and cannot believe it took so long 4000 years for the great tribulation will he be wiped out instantly.

  I am kind of thinking it will be like Pro-Wrestling. Noah, David, Moses etc vs the Governing Body. I am guessing David will turn heel and join the Governing Body.

  Does anyone live by any Bible stuff?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is not meant to be a slag off the bible thread.. i had a question asked me the other day and it was: 'do you live by anything from the bible?'.

  i had to think about that one because i was force grown in the filthy, disgusting cult of the paedophile loving watchtower(r).. you know what?

  i really don't know if i just naturally am a great bloke or if any 'nice' bits in the bible influenced me......or has western culture been influenced by the bible for good and bad?.

  I consider myself Pro-life. Not that protest outside clinics or cover my cars in bumper stickers or anything.

  I have found myself in arguements before and people would say things like " Does your magicial man in the sky control womens bodies ". Till this day I can't really tell you what the bible really says about the subject, nor do I really care. I have just seen what a 22-24 week abortion looks like and it is freakin evil man.

  It is kind of like you when see that Awake " Children who put god first "cover. I actually told an elder that once, I consider he at about the level as an abortonist making children walk around with those blood cards. He was a pompus prick.

  Now where do we get our moral code from ?? I am just saying I don't think it is all bad. Just the cults.

  for those still "in" what's the mood

  in my area the general sense is bleak.

  many are in survival mode.

  even at the convention the appearance of the majority was unhappy and tired.

  This Saturday there was two cars in the parking lot in a congregation of 80 or so publishers. I really have no idea how we are supposedly all getting an average of 9 hours a month. I don’t even know how the pioneers are doing it. I know one has leached on to someone unemployed loser and they just hang out all day. I think the ones with children are just using family study night as a write off.

  To the single and childless people in the cong, man it has to be tough.

  That is true but I would imagined he actually entered his name on a piece of paper................so.

  Mind you, I have seen his wife reading Nora Roberts books when manning a literature cart. I thought that was kind of funny.

  convinced 95% of all active jw's don't have a clue as to where 1914 originates

  by goingthruthemotions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so talking with my wife last night...i was explaining to her about a conversation i had with a person at work about end times.

  he has a strange belief that some scriptures in isaiah perdict something huge is going to happen in september of 2015. she then states that no one can predict the future only the father knows and he is in a cult.

  lol on the inside.. i then stated "what about 1914 and the dubs perdiction and what it means today" she said no there was never any predictions.

  I was studying with an elder and when he tried to explain to the 1914 prophecy and I was like

  So failed prophecy actually means “ a marked year “.

  The dream in Daniel 4 about the tree and the seven times of Nebuchadnezzar madness is actually a prophecy about the end times ??? How ??

  In the book of Luke of Jerusalem actually means “ Heaven “ ??

  Gentile times actually means “ Satanic worldy rule “.

  And the generation that won’t pass away now means two life times in a row ?

  Where is the day for a year rule in the bible ?

  And you just noticed all this after the event you said that would happen didn’t happen??

  Why doesn’t anyone else claim 607 is the fall of Jerusalem ??

  Really ??

  I don’t know if anything I said got though. I like to think I showed him anyone with a little imagination could right this crap if up actually meant down and 2 plus 2 actually was equal to 7 , so on and so on.

  Praise For Witnesses On Welfare Who Full Time Pioneer!

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower has always praised witnesses who are on welfare and decided to pioneer.

  many in my congregation, including my mom, were given kudos, praise and assembly parts because they took advantage of jehovah's provision through the government....did you notice this, or was it obvious to me because i was raised in the inner city and many people recieved government help?.

  Since all goverments of the world are controlled by Satan, isn't it kind of like collecting a paycheck from Satan. LoL

  It is kind of like the sob story about the brothers in South Korean jails , then you ask " How many Dubs are there in North Korea ??? ".

  In the words of Nelson Muntz " I hope the Irony isn't lost on you, HA HA " .

  Bro Lett at Int. Conv in Israel last year.......

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having been recently introduced to governing body member lett's "unique" speaking style, i found another video on youtube (and also on jw.org) of bro lett visiting the international convention in israel.

  apparently his buffonery is not only reserved for video intro's to dramas, but also in real life as well.. i used to think those ol' time pentacostal and baptist ministers in tents would overdue it......i was wrong.

  this guy has them all beat.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltvx_e4xe4e.

  It just blows me away that anyone in Israel could actually be a Jehovah Witness. The whole religion seems to be rooted in Antisemitism where the JWs or the 144 or whatever have replaced Israel. Not really sure what they teach this week.

  It must be strange to see people get all excited taking a trip to the holy land ( Brooklyn New York ) while living in the land of the bible. It something I found strange in Canada, must even be extra weird in Israel.
