  Hello Trolley JW's...

  ...at 1 peter 3:15 it says that if someone asks a christian about their christian hope, they should always be ready to explain it - with mildness & deep respect.

  may i ask you about just one belief which jw's have?.

  jw's have been instructed that god & jesus personally selected mr. rutherford and several of his associates as the first 'faithful slave' 101 dalmations years ago, in 1919. .

  Wt. April 2020 Revised Joel Prophecy

  by BluesBrother in

  2. bible

  if this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.

  ”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.

  they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.

  Court overturns $35 million sex abuse verdict against Jehovah's Witnesses

  by iwantoutnow in

  shocking!.

  the montana supreme court has unanimously overturned the largest civil verdict against the jehovah's witnesses in u.s. history in a closely-watched case on the requirements of religious leaders to report suspected incidents of child sexual abuse.. the ruling, issued wednesday, erased a $35 million jury verdict to alexis “lexi” nunez, who was abused by a member of the thompson falls, mont, congregation.

  elders at the local kingdom hall knew of separate allegations against the man, but did not report those to law enforcement after relying on legal advice from headquarters that clergy in montana are not required to report allegations deemed by religious organizations to be “confidential.”.

  If you speak against the Governing Body you will be punished.

  this was a comment from the meeting(tm) on sunday.. the person that told me about it, is very confused about the validity of the corporation.

  somewhere between a pimo and a pimi-lite.

  the thing that angered me was that this person has cancer.

  if a JW begins to have doubts about God and/or the Bible, he is viewed as being weak and is to be helped. However, if he begins to have doubts about the GB, it's off with his head.

  Speaking against the GB is worse than speaking against God."

  well put Magnum - well put.

  so this weekend my girlfriend and i will move into our own place together.

  it turns out that “a cord of three strands is stronger” is bullshit and two people in a relationship are perfectly capable of being happy without outside influence.

  what a journey i’ve had since leaving 3 and a half years ago!

  Jesus said Truly I tell you This Day...

  by JohnTron72 in

  2. bible

  adam was told not to eat from the tree of knowledge for upon the very day of eating from it, he would die.

  i had someone say that god lied because, adam didn't die that day but, the scriptures say to god a day is as a thousand years so, since adam lived 900+ years after eating , he indeed died within god's view of a day.

  methuselah the oldest to ever live 969 years still within god's set time of a day.

  Could have been that the idea of 1,000 years being 1 day to God, was presented to us to cover off the 969 years that Methuselah lived.

  Bending the story to fit the facts perhaps?

  Rec'd a letter from my Dad - need some advice...

  by Fadeaway3pointer in

  2. experiences

  fader here - last meeting was in autumn 2005. lurker on this site and others.

  not one to get all controversial.. typical situation, pretty much a born in and left the church at age 38 and never looked back.. i'm 53 now, parents getting older - late 70s but very active, dad is still an elder.. parents, in laws, brother and brother-in-law still uber active jws.. my family (wife and 2 adult children) out since 2005.. we have stayed close to our parents - we have treaded religion lightly and have had a pretty good relationship and have kept our personal lives and beliefs/opinions separated from them.

  this was intentional - as we love them and do not want anything to cause shunning since they are getting older and want to be there for them and we respect their beliefs.. got this letter today.

  Sorry this is happening. You have done your best to keep your life separate from them - for one reason and one reason only...to ensure you are able to continue to have a relationship with them. Now they do this? It hurts, it hurts bad. What should you do about it? What can you do about it? The reality is there is not a damn thing you can do about it.

  Should you respond to them? To what end? Will it make you feel better? Most likely not. Make them tell you in person so you can both look into each other's eyes and see the hurt? Again to what end?

  They are not going to change their minds. The decision is rendered - you are shunned and that's final. Leave it as it is.

  Go about your life, and live it the way you want to.

  Forgive them - for they know not what they do.
