  Pets are false gods

  i"m listening to the 2013 dc green bay saturday talk on false gods.. the speaker says no one would knowingly worship false deities.

  but could we inadvertantly give jehovah less than exclusive devotion he deserves.. he said:you have not allowed this deception power of sin to sensual desires, material comforts, pets, technology, entertainment or food to become objects of devotion to you.. anything that interferes with our spiriutal routine has the power of eroding or weaking our relationship with jehovah.. .

  my dogs can erode my relationship with jehovah.

  They are going to leave no hope, no joy, no reason to like anything about this world for remaining witnesses. Maybe in the new system you can have that pet but not now. I think this explains the lack of joy I witnessed at my sisters wedding. They're just not happy people.

  Jehovah’s Witness Expectations of “Eternity”

  by Cold Steel in

  or do they believe they'll be able to visit other worlds without them?

  when resurrected, would they be able to walk through walls as jesus did, or would they be able to create wormholes just by thinking about it and travel by their own power?

  and when they had visited every known place in the universe, what would they do then?.

  what if.... what if jehovah's witnesses spent their 70 million hours on something better than cartoon theology distribution?.

  would this world be better served by:.

  It always bothered me that JW's do no volunteer work. I never understood that.

  if they are going to try to guess what jesus should look like why don't they or haven't they created artwork that they would use to consistently show him as the same guy.

  this one is from sept wt.

  I know this sounds crazy but, what if?

  so i've been thinking about my jw family members a lot lately, especially since i just saw them a couple of weeks ago at my youngest sisters wedding.

  with all the current animosity towards apostates that seems to be more aggressive than usual it hit me when i saw this posted on fb today.

  would it be possible for the gb to demand that jw's kill apostates?

  That's what I was thinking Shador, the "New Light" angle is what concerns me.

  Is it a sign from Jehovah or just irony?

  so i signed up to volunteer at a local urban community center- first time i've ever volunteered for a non-jw effort.

  i thought i would end up cleaning, organizing, something like that, but the first thing they wanted us to do was go door to door in the neighborhood handing out flyers!

  face palm...
