Even if it maybe a meander to go to bethel, you do it your way. You will be part of the cult WORKFORCE.

But Im sorry about your wife who has no other choice, because she cant decide for herself? Gratulation.

Interesting find in the bible last night

by Crazyguy in

so i was reading genesis chapter 10 and 11 to see how it explains the man who supposedly is the offspring of noah and he and his offspring become the nation known as egypt.

in some bibles they actually call him egypt.

well as i was reading chapter 10 i noticed something.

TheWonderofYou

Wayward: just the fertile imagination of nomads sitting around a campfire.

i would say even that it was the worldview of best educated jewish elite and priesthood who lived in the rich metropolis in Persia or Babylonia in the period of writing down genesis as legend of origin. Scholars say that the Table of nations orginates in the texts that the priests collected.

Revised New world translation in other languages

by TheWonderofYou in

jw
friends

i think the translators are now very busy or even in the endspurt to present next year the editions in many other long expected languages like spanish, french, dutch, german...perhaps there will be even two spanish versions.. this will spark a new fire in the hearts of the publishers to go out and evangelize using the bible.

month to month a new translation is available on jw library app, like portoguese since july.

but they will not use the paper in door-to-door but the app.. insiders have already access to parts of many of those coming translations and are very happy with the translation comments like "really beautiful translated" are typical..

August JW Broadcasting in Under 2 Minutes LOYAL LOYAL ETC ETC

by Watchtower-Free in

Many forget that LOYALTY does not mean the same as OBIDIENCE to GODzzz Organsiation.

I mean, First and foremost it is God that is loyal to us, withouth God this whole cariot would not function.

Only after that he his merciful to us we can be loyal.

As Gods loyalty doesnt mean that he his obidient to US and we can train HIM or mode him to follow our human directives to transform him into a mannered civilisazed JEHOBER DOG, our loyality towards God as well not turn around being trained and modified or obidient like animals but around stability, responsibilty, merciful acts, imitating gods unchangeable mercy and kindness.

Memoir of a Lonely Afternoon

by TerryWalstrom in

lonely afternoon : memoir.

lonely afternoon.

i found it!.

TheWonderofYou

I had spent already some hours of a lonely day in an afternoon in the open air bath of my town playing sometimes with my daughter diving in the water, when I sat on edge of the pool, sunbathed and looked around.

Suddenly the most beautiful women on earth I could ever imagine made a beeline for me. She stopped 1 meter in front of me and looked deep in my eyes. She looked good like this famous french film star, with curled hair and perfect shape. Her eyes were most attractive. I remember the moment like a picture - her face, her bikini and behind her face the trees and the blue sky -.Her bikini had a blue flowerprint and it emphasized her delicate figure.

So how did i react in this very important moment?
I sat on the bench and looked in her eyes too. She stood and looked in my eyes.

Why ...did she say nothing? She looked like an angel, really. I instantly had the thought, girl you look like an angel but why dont you say anything. She only came to me and kept silent with a look in they eyes that makes you wanna care for her. Perhaps she wanted spy on me. If an angel of god came to me to bring a message it could not look better.

I looked at her and became silent and humble in the face of her beauty.... imagine you encounter virgin Mary...then I looked at my daughter as if I wanted to say

"I am not free anymore, I am married, I'm so sorry, its useless"and made desperate facial expressions without saying anything.

After long 40 seconds of gaping on each other she turned around and went off, the seconds in which I recorded eternal memories in her, which I pull out in moments of loneliness that I should not have as married man at all after all.

What I can't bear is: I should have said some nice words, it wouldnt have been a sin. Simply to know her would have not been a sin. But in front of her I was simply taken aback.

However Terry, I like your song.

just watching this video about a bethel member, single again - gives advice at morning worship.he tries to convince young 16 year old girls who visit bethel and eat in the cafeteria to marry him.he offers the full blessings as wife of a prince in the new world and gives arguments that speakfor a fast decision... shocking stupidy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4udiaarpay.

in another video of ex-bethelite (how women are treated) a bethel elder is mentioned who talked to brothers at the table and gave advice abouth marriage and said that it would be the best to marry a women when is as young and pretty as possible, (at 8:45) so you have the possibilty to train her and to mode her in to what you want and get her used in the roles you set for her..... other bethelits made big errors and married older women 24,25.women that would have their own concepts of what bethel or marriage should be.

All guys were smiling and agreeing. Women who have a lot of MOUTH, ATTITUDE and OPINON.

That contradicts the bible!.

The bethel elders are USING their women as willingful pretty puppets, and USING is the first step to "misuse". They not only disobey Christs command for marriage but teach young brother to USE their wifes.!

Perfect Example of JW Dumbing Down

by thedepressedsoul in

just take a look at this video.

i think arguing or debating scriptures is the most pointless thing ever.

everything at their meetings are so basic with no explanation.

TheWonderofYou

The sister is very sympathic. Its a pitty that those sisters are not sent to us DFSed to explain us in detail the LAW OF LOVE without bible, but instead discuss endless with funny Israelites.

The subject that was discussed in the beginning was the evil in the world, who is the wicked. The Israelites said that the wicked are people of Edom. That was surprising change of argumentation. And then to the nation of Israel.

The householders expected obviously that the JW are more well-versed in the bible if they go door-to door and abused the visit for their purpose.

Feel like starting a New Ministry! True Bible Students

by SonoftheTrinity in

i think studying the king james bible, and the jacobean flavored translations of the apocrypha and pseudipigrapha, whether you believe in them or not, is an essential part of being a culturally rooted english speaker.

i used to belong to an organization that advocated reading a chapter a day, but had no actual faith requirement to be a member.

20c a week and read the kjv a chapter a day, no lifestyle requirement, no doctrinal litmus test.

Will you come to my door?
