If I read this as a still-in Witness, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

A "still-in" witness most likely wouldn't read it as they have been ordered by the G.O.D. not to read material like that. Just saying.

How do you deal with people who do not like you?

hi guysin the last year i have started to socialise a lot more.

namely comedy and a tennis social club.. for a variety of reasons i find socialising tough.

in my tennis club a couple of women have been extremely rude to me and i have blocked one from my phone and refuse to speak to both.. is my behaviour extreme?paul.

Time is the most valuable asset we have. Mine is much to important than to spend it worrying about someone who doesn't like me, or trying to get them to do so. That is one of the things that I got chastised for many times. The eldurrs hated the fact that I didn't run around kissing up to people in the congregation who did not like me, trying to "make peace" with them.

I haven't read it yet, but what is the bet that the outline has something in it about Porn or Sex or University education again?

Or "encouragement" to donate more $$$$?

Today's Watchtower :Paragraph 5

by jwdoctrine in

1 cor 13:5:"keep testing whether you are in the faith; keep proving what you yourselves are.

or do you not recognize that jesus christ is in union with you?

by ‘testing whether we are in the faith.’ to do that, we do well to ask ourselves: ‘do i really believe that i am part of the only organization that jehovah has approved to accomplish his will?

I noticed that par 4 was classic F.O.G.

Fear of being killed at the Big A. Obligation because meetings were so "important". And guilt because Jehovah and Jesus see you not making the meeting unless it is physically or circumstantially IMPOSSIBLE.

so the wife was sick and stayed home from the meeting.

she tuned in through the phone so she could listen.

she had the phone on speaker and therefore i could overhear what was said.

JDubs just finally catching up with Christendom!

Plastic Card Donations
“A growing number of Canadian churches” are adopting “modern banking practices, introducing bank cards and credit cards as convenient ways for parishioners to make collection-plate donations,” says the Vancouver Sun newspaper. Debit machines have been placed in church halls along with “donation envelopes with options for automatic account withdrawal and credit card payment.” Individuals simply swipe their card, key in the amount they wish to donate, and then put a copy of the receipt in the collection plate. As one pastor stated: “A cashless society is where society is going. Why not the church?” A church treasurer joked: “You get air-miles on your card, plus you go to heaven for donations. Just think of it as double reward points.”

Church Money
◆ Some religious organizations are going to new ends to acquire money. The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in Buffalo, New York, now accepts credit cards, not just cash donations. One finance committee member says: “A church can’t survive on 50-cent [cash] donations.” Credit-card donations are up to $30. Admission is now being charged visitors to London’s thirteenth-century Salisbury Cathedral. A London Observer article calls this “a last-ditch attempt to find a way of meeting the desperate need for funds.”

A funny idea about dating in the paradise...

by JW_Rogue in

how in the hell would it ever work?

everyone is youthful, everyone is perfect, everyone's personality is loving and kind.

how would you choose somebody?

FedUpJW

How would you choose somebody?

Maybe "Nulite" will come floating down on one of the "princes" and we will be allowed to choose someone to date like we buy shoes, or buy a vehicle. Try them on, or take them for a "test drive" before buying them.

I'm getting disfellowshipped

by Letty in

hi everyone i'm 19 year old and i've been a jehovahs witness for 3 years now.

i've followed the rules and i'm even a pioneer.

but i've hid the secret of a boyfriend i had from india.

FedUpJW

I'm not sure crying helps all the time, but prob can't hurt to try it.

Many years ago a woman (also who regular pioneered) got involved in an adulterous affair. The P.O. of her congregation said, "It is of great concern to ME that you do not cry." She relied, "I am cried out because of my sin. "He said, "THAT is no excuse!" She was DF'D. Those "men" get off on the ability to make women cry. It sucks but that is the truth of the matter.

If you want to stay in...then play the game. Rub some onion on your finger tips and rub your eyes as you use your best broken voice to say how sorry it is that you let a weakness overcome you. Make sure you cry. The more they SEE you grovel the more chance of "forgiveness" you will get. Read about Davids reply when confronted with his adultery and murder. Then copy that attitude. After all you did nothing as bad as intentional adultery and murder!

The strange case of Gerrit Losch

by Gorbatchov in

jw
friends

one of the recent molest cases had a signed declaration of gerrit losch, stating he has no relation with watchtower and that he has no control over watchtower and he does not answer to watchtower.. this month he is hosting the watchtower broadcasting show, on a watchtower media chanel, with a watchtower president starring as co-host, with statements, media and music that have intellectual ownership and copyright by watchtower.. gerrit is asking on broadcasting for respect for “the slave”, just like jehova and jesus respect “the slave” and will even reward them.. are the writers of the statement too stupid to see the correlation between teaching and practicing?.

these man are proven liars.. how can hold this firewall stand?

it’s so thin.. a judge can see this mismach isn’t it??.

‘I do not answer to Watchtower. […] Watchtower does not have, and has never had, any authority over me.’

He speaks the truth according to his view. He does not answer to WT...WT answers to HIM.

And WT has no authority over him...HE has authority over WT.

It's all in the way the question is asked as to how it will be answered. Just like Jackson's answer during questioning by the ARC. He said it would APPEAR to be presumptuous to claim to be the only channel for God...not that it WAS presumptuous.
