3Who might possibly mislead the Chosen Ones?
by wannabe inthis preaching work would have to be done by the one that might possibly mislead the chosen ones; due to the fact that, they would be doing a similar work to what all of the first century christian's did.
luke foretold, to the letter, exactly the work this false prophet would be doing, and leaves us with no doubt, as to who this false prophet would be; note now, his words on this:.
8 he said: "look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, i am he, and, the due time has approached.

is food a big thing in his life?
if in the presence of others, does he selfishly ignore their needs and take more than his fair share?

Its okay to beat your wife.........afterall, when you get married you are 'one'.......and Paul said to pummel your body and lead it as a slave......therefore, its totally okay to abuse your wife.
I like that one, I'm gonna borrow it.

Validity of JW Baptism
by maputo95 inplease could someone tell me what is said in a jw baptism?
i was told that jw baptisms are invalid because they do not baptise in the "name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit.
because of this invalid baptism a catholic cannot marry a jw with church approval, i think.

While agree the questions are odd, and actually makes the baptzee making a dedication to an organization. We shouldn't get bent out of shape over the "father, Son and Holy Spirit." because you will be hardpressed to find that formula in the Scriptures. NOne of the baptism were done in the name of the Father, Son and holy Spirit. They were ALl done in the name of Jesus.
Either way, the Society does neither. Instead of being recognized as a Christian, a follower of Christ, you are identified as a JW in association with an organization.

Glutton...fails to show love for Jehovah. Is food a big thing in his life? If in the presence of others, does he selfishly ignore their needs and take more than his fair share? Is he grossly overweight but shows no restraint over food, habitually gourging himself? Does he feel uncomfortable, perhaps even getting sick because of eating too much?...he has no place in the Congregation of Gods people...he will not inherit God's kingdom... Watchtower 1974 p.167
At a meal the gluttonous person may make it impossible for other diners to eat to satisfaction. For this reason the glutton may even be dispised...he actually isolates himself from others...they may shun him...he may incurr God's displeasure and lose his life...In the near future God's kingdom through Jesus Christ will bring law dyfing Gluttons to an end...then persons will "hunger no more. Watchtower 1978 12/15 p.9
Consider also that the scriptures mention only one fat person.
Judges 3:17: Now Eg′lon was a very fat man.
Fat Eg'lon was not a servant of God. So we can deduce from this, that only pagans are fat, and just like only pagans celebrated birthdays in the Bible, fat people will not inherit God's Kingdom.Makes sense to me, after all, how are you fat people going to squeeze through the narrow gate?

new watchtower, new songbook, new funeral arrangement *gasps*!!!
by make yourself inok so i went to a jehovah witness funeral last week and i noticed a lot of changes.
first of all it did not start with a prayer, and they had one brother come up in the beginning and talk about the diseased relatives family and their qualities then had another brother come up and do the scriptures and then the brother who came up at the start to close with a prayer and no song.
and also there was only one prayer the whole time and that was at the end.

Mohl says she sustained minor injuries in the attack. -

What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?
by flipper ini'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.
and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.
so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .
