Deuteronomy 22:8

8 If you build a new house, make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.

someone who only believes in god when car keys are missing, car won't start, police lights are in the rear view mirror, car is getting annual inspection, there's traffic when he's late.. sally: john's an atheist right?.

ted: no, he's a cartholic.

Hmmm.... i went to a Catholic School and college. They allow people of other beliefs attend and they don't believe they are doomed. We probably had a few Cartholics in there. They were okay people as far as I'm concerned. (Giggling)

I'm afraid there weren't any quite like Race in any of my circles.

Nothing shouts "cult" quite like being afraid of being yourself with your own family!

I'm seeing that more and more amongst my JW friends who are, I believe, more honest with me than they are with their own kin.

How many others are attending? Hopefully it's a packed house with many who are using their devices ....and messaging... Look for the cameras ...in the ceiling... like at the department stores. *sigh*

Why am I paranoid FOR you?

WT for this Sunday...You are My Witnesses

by Legacy in

wt 7/15/2014....page 27...question # 17...what will we consider in the next article...paragraph 17...but how can we be jehovah witnesses and at the same time be witnesses of jesus....well well well...i think they really got the point...all through the greek scriptures, that's what jesus has been saying...we are to witness about him....in the hebrews scriptures was about jehovah god, most of the world got that.

now jehovah, put another spoke in the wheel his son...jesus...that's who paul has been talking about all along...that he was witness of jesus, paul knew who god was.

i think the society monitors sites like these & others & found out....they may have been, uh...wrong....wonder how are they going to spin this one off....i won't read the next article just yet... comments anyone ..... legacy.

JW07 says, "Only 'apostates' will be hording literature at home."

But doesn't it feel good to know it will be preserved on a hard drive or in a cloud? Now you have garage space!

OH, how some on this board will envy those that are "in" for the literature grab. How much do ya' think that Trinity Brochure will go for in 10 years?

my husband and i (both born in jws with extended family all "in" except for one of my sisters who left when we did) left the church 5 years ago.

we did not fade, we just didn't believe it anymore, told our families so and left.

obviously, big drama in our family after this, messy feelings, etc.

Oh... sloppy... I had a conversation with an elder on Romans 6. He focused on verse 23. I asked him to show me where, in the chapter, Paul spoke of a physical death and not the death of sin at the point of baptism. He couldn't.

Ask her why, in the WDTBRT book James 1:13 is about God's will on page 10 and man's will on page 29.

How about... why, on the same page of the WDTBRT book, there's a sentence that says God is NEVER the source of wickedness you see in the world? Can that be reconciled with Proverbs 16:4, Isaiah 45:7, Exodus 4:11, Eccl 7:14, Amos 3:6, 1 Peter 4:19 and the point of the story of the potter as told in the Old and New Testaments? Go to Romans 9:10-25 and focus on verses 18-23. What do we do with THAT truth? Was Jeremiah lamenting Satan's activities in Lamentations (look at chapter 2) or the hurt caused by the Lord's wrath?

Who brought the Great Flood?... (I suspect she'll tell you THOSE people were evil!)

Who killed the 70,000? Were THEY all evil? Did those events "happen" or were those events "caused" by the Lord?

If you set the trigger correctly, you'll hear about "the churches" saying "a death is God's will"... ask what the WTS does with James 4:15 and to ask if "this or that" is scripturally defined. If it is, I want to avoid that activity.
