  Shunning and persecution

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jws see shunning as a loving provision.

  but if a mennonite gal is shunned by her parents and friends for converting to jwism, would this be seen as a loving provision or as evidence of persecution?

  how about parents beating a daughter who converted to jehovah's witnesses?.

  Why can WatchTower call the expulsion of Mennonites cruel while calling expulsion of JWs a loving provision?

  "Rules for thee, but not for me!"

  Quote "with the new hour requirements for pioneers, many us us can share in the pioneer work." Let's read between the lines on that.

  Okay. Let's read between the lines on that. Quote "with the now minimal hour requirements for pioneers, all of you must now take up your share in the pioneer work. Those who rebelliously choose not to will be judged as 'not of our sort' and shunned accordingly."

  I heard that type of comment in passing by a still-in JW who said, "With those low hours NO ONE who is faithful should not be pioneering now that we are soooo close to Armageddon!"

  some said "perhaps they had a secret sin..like Achan..that blocked god's holy spirit.

  Yeah, kind of like when they intimated on their broadcasts when the COVID Plandemic was getting up to speed that following all the orders and mandates of the governing body would protect JW's from getting COVID.

  Answering JW Conversation Stoppers

  2. beliefs

  jws often try to justify their religion as being the only true religion.

  questions like.

  which other organization is doing this or that?

  So, it doesn’t matter what you personally believe; preach what the people expect from you, preach what the society asks.

  My answer to that would have been: 2 Timothy 4: 3-4, "For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths."

  @Freemail - re: your post 21 hours ago.

  How very grown up and intelligent your comment makes you seem.

  By the way. . .that was sarcasm. So now even a fucking idiot like you can understand!

  Sometimes I get irritated and let it show. My apologies to the rest of you members here.

  Made up field service experience at yesterday's Public Talk

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  remember the made up stories of witnesses in djibouti,africa where they had to walk 2 days in alligator infested waters with no shoes in the blazing sun to attend the meetings?

  they made it to the meetings in these terrible conditions.. talk about made up stories!

  here is a field service experience that was told at yesterday's public talk which would fall into the made up stories!.

  A few years back there was an experience on one of the broadcasts.

  It was the wife of a C.O. telling how she was the ONLY member of her immediate family who persevered in Bible study and JWism while the rest of her family pursued "worldly" goals. She said she had the help of her granny. And it was through HER that they all eventually (returned to Jehovah) took up the JW burden.

  I grew up with her family. Her parents and mine were close friends. I knew her grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and siblings.

  Her story on the broadcast was at the best very close to outright lies. That is one of the now "missing" broadcasts from what I have been told.

  hi everyone i’m not pimi or pimo i’m pima.. i don’t think the gb have everything right but i’m sitting on the fence that maybe they do some things.. if the great trib starts i will jump that side of the fence.. this is a definite little sneaky advantage dodging but even by their own doctrine last min some could come in.. i suspect many are like me.. i spent years in bethel and am very disappointed and disillusioned by it all.. but at the end of the day i love the bible and think it is the word of god and i don’t see any other religion that comes as close to what jesus describes his true followers or who are fulfilling mat 24:14..

  would not a more severe punishment be meted out to one who spurns the Lord’s Evening Meal...?”

  SPURN: reject with disdain or contempt.

  
  

  Sounds a lot like going to memorial and sitting there and then REJECTING the crackers and wine that Jesus instructed to eat and drink! Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body which is to be given in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me."

  
  

  Now who is it that tells the R&F JW that they are to spurn the bread and wine?

  Stress of Going to a Summer Convention

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  spotted this picture on a friend's page, he was highlighting the mental health issue.

  however,we thought the magazine on stress was deliberately placed in the summer months because for any jw going to a convention, paying high season hotel rates for themselves or their whole family to stay near the convention centre, fighting coworkers and managers to get the time off work, travelling expenses, buying their own meals for the family, buying new shiny suits and dresses to impress (particularly if you have teenage girls who are looking for their prince), and more.... by the time they come home again and straight away back to work, their nerves will be so frazzled that their stress levels will have sky rocketed!.

  as brother elder says to them, "don't worry.

  ONE new watchtower, and ONE new awake?

  Sounds like "The Slave" is cutting down on the food at the proper time. Nothing like trying to starve people you are supposed to be feeding!
