  Today's Text - Jehovah is my helper!

  by Divergent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  tuesday, october 18. jehovah is my helper; i will not be afraid.—heb.

  13:6.. “people often comment about how happy jehovah’s witnesses are,” says a longtime elder in a developing country.

  “they also notice that even poor witnesses are always nicely dressed and appear to be better off than others.” this harmonizes with the promise jesus made to those who put the kingdom first.

  HI All,

  I'm a witness...They also notice that even poor Witnesses are always nicely dressed and appear to be better off than others. Don't believe the hype, witnesses are not the poorest...they are the best at saying they are poor, it sounds more holy & think they are making points with Jehovah...I go to a congregation most of the folks live houses, condo's & co-op & not to mention they own property else where...they cry poor because they don't want the other friends to think they got money so they won't be asked. All of them have keys to a place to live. There are many users in congregation, looking for folks they can use...that's why many pioneer, so they feel the friends can take up the slack. Don't ask a married sister for no $$$...she'll say, I have to ask my husband...now most of you know the sisters are the ones the control the purse strings...also know folks who borrow & never give back, why? Because we are family.

  Jehovah provides for the friends, believe me....but when you buy something, they say, well the FDS says keep a simple life. Most of them have cars, but won't give you a ride. I've seen folks have one type of car one week then another car the next month...oh yeah, they park it far away so no one will know.....I've seen some say they got rid of their car so they don't have to drive anyone home...yet, if you stay a little past the meeting, they tip around the corner & get in the car, THEY DON'T HAVE...

  So JW's are not poor nor are they the least educated...they go to college, have $$, again, this is just for show for Jehovah & for the friends...

  They think having money is a sin & satan is the one supplying the money..

  Again, all don't believe the hype... if anyone reads the bible, ain't too many stories of poor folks & when it is...they are nameless...the bible was written by rich jewish men...

  Do they know what 7.5 billion dead bodies look like?

  by jambon1 in

  2. friends

  in their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.

  "let the eye feel no sorrow".

  sick bastards..

  Hi All,

  I'm a JW. I got out in service with them clean the hall...They are germ-a-phobic....they use gloves for everything. When we are out in service all they see is dog poo, we can't get to the doors for them watching out for dog poo, like stepping in dried dog poo is the worse thing ever...I've have & I know many of you have stepped in dog poo. Find some puddle or grass & get it off...they remind of Lucy when Snoopy kisses her...she runs around like a nut saying she has dog germs...JW's are too germ-a-phobic to clean up the wicked....I at times say, if you're this way now, what you gonna do when GT comes...(Silence)....The sanitizing business is booming because of the witnesses...they are always, sanitizing, washing, moisturizing...aka: wringing their hands....the problem is not dirt, it's way deeper than that..the dirt is in them...

  So when will the signs be for the end Matthew & Luke say....

  a few weeks ago, i think it was in the imitate their faith book or was a public talk, i forget, but anyway, luke 21:10 says: then he said to them: “nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11 there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs.

  the brother was showing the signs of the end & how it matches up to our time.

  but guess what folks, my eyes wandered to the next verse 12:but before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons.

  Hi You All,

  A few weeks ago, I think it was in the Imitate their faith book or was a public talk, I forget, but anyway, Luke 21:10 says: Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation,+ and kingdom against kingdom.+ 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences;+ and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs. The brother was showing the signs of the end & how it matches up to our time. But guess what folks, my eyes wandered to the next verse 12:But before all these things happen, people will lay their hands on you and persecute you,+ handing you over to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name. But if you read the other accounts, the same signs happen and then they will be handed over....so which is it ?

  Any thoughts ?

  Hi,

  Just off the top of my head..."We won't be fooled again" by The Who...at the end of the sketch...the closing song should be..."Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye...come to think of it...the opening song could be another one of his songs..."What's going on"

  september 21, 2016 to all congregations re: global assistance arrangement for the 2017 service year.

  ps to bodies of elders:.

  this postscript should not be read to the congregation, and this letter should not be placed on the noticeboard.

  Hi,

  So, everyone one saw through this letter...I wonder how the elders felt when they read the letter in the backroom....I would love to be a fly on the wall...

  This is my favorite "The GAA is designed to prevent and pay for any losses from unexpected events (ARC/payouts/fines, etc), that could affect the Org. (Aka: Congregation).

  Do you think the money is leaking out the bottom of the org. bag?

  @Biblexaminer,

  Bingo...I love your comment...especially this one...."The "Kingdom of God" is an ideology. The man does not enter the Kingdom until first the Kingdom enters the man"....

  That's it in a nutshell.

  Hi All,

  The Kingdom of God is in your midst...that means it's in our hearts...doesn't 1Cor. 15:51-52 say:Look! I tell you a sacred secret: We will not all fall asleep in death, but we will all be changed,+ 52 in a moment, in the blink* of an eye, during the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,+ and the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we will be changed... it says in a blink of an eye, we will be raised up incorruptible...& be changed...so to me that means our corruptible hearts with be changed at a blink of an eye....WE (OUR HEARTST)WILL BE CHANGED WITH A BLINK OF AN EYE....that's why it says, it's in our midst....we are God's Kingdom...

  The invisible heavenly gov't is just for the JW's to fit themselves into the picture....As they do all over the bible...they even say, Jesus was the first witness, ah, how can that be ? He is what witnessing is all about...They see them selves everywhere in the bible...that's why I know they are delusional....

  None of us knows if this is all true in the bible...but faith is what we need just to make it through the day....not peoples interpretation of what they think God means.

  Many things they don't know what it means...so this is just one of them...there are so much more...

  @DOC,

  Oh, ok...Your Mom knows about the Child Abuse ? Wow. I think many have too, but like your mom they pointed a finger at other religions & so now they are eating crow....to me this is the real reason most of the friends don't talk about it...because someone they know or don't know will say, Hey you guys thought it was only the Catholics, but I see it's in your org. too.

  That has to be hard to have your own words come back to bite the in the behind...I wonder will the Society ever confess & just take their medicine...but look how long it took for the Catholics to be exposed...I bet they fought tooth and nail just like the JW's are doing...Good for your Mom for not donating...

  I'm so happy I know ttatt....it's so freeing to go into the hall, & know that....I love this site...as I always say, for those who are still in, it gives a place to go so we don't think we are spiritually weak, & we can vent...'til we get the nerve to not be afraid of man...& leave...

  @Wayward,

  Once I pointed it out....innocently....I showed them the first letter of the Meeting workbook. Then I said Clam...then turn to digging for gems...then I said...like Kingdom Ministry/KM...they just smiled...I told another one...it just didn't register...do they really think that calling the meeting workbook CLAM, that God cares about that? Yep, I do...As soon as a brother/FDS, says it...they'll think it's so clever...

  But you know what, they know...the silence of certain issues lets gives me the clue...there is always an elephant in the room...& when they may not agree, they clear their throat...or cough...dead giveaway...The know about the ARC, only because it's not a peep about it. I'm learning to observe the friends posture & reactions...even if they don't say a word...there are many that know it's CLAM, but don't want to blow their cover that they know TTATT.

  They claim they are making the literature easy for folks to understand because of the many foreigners that are coming in....Who said foreigners are dumb...many of them are way more educated then the JW's. Many of them speak different languages...

  I have heard many who have been in for a long time say, THINGS HAVE REALLY CHANGED.

  @ DOC,

  It was a part of CLAM Living at Christians the week of 9/12-18...A video: Jehovah has done so much for me. I think it was worldwide, but the video is of a sister who was sexually abused before she came into the org., but the sister and video was in Australia.

  Maybe all the congregations didn't show the video....but it was in the Meeting Workbook for everyone. It wasn't in yours ?
