Where can I get one of those goblets? As for deviating from the faith with "knowledge". they are masters of doing that. A lot of us worked all our lives, including "overtime: when it was available, and didn't buy any boats. And we syure as hell did need a retirement.
As for Timothy; is the one todays broadcast used the snot nosed teen or the 30 something. they have portrayed him as both at times to fit the narrative
there is a new video on jwtv the california fires, how things are being handled.
it seems almost everyone managed to salvage his tie and razor.
i will not comment on those who lost homes, sad no matter what.
there is a new video on jwtv the california fires, how things are being handled. It seems almost everyone managed to salvage his tie and razor. I will not comment on those who lost homes, sad no matter what. They do mention that they will even offer aid to next door neighbors, not too sure how many doors away this still works. AND naturally, the big thing is they give spiritual comfort. They have put up meals, a lot in private homes, but not all, and the refugees are being housed by other families. The kicker is all this is being done by locals with local funding, except for maybe the mobile kitchen. I did not find any hint on donations, but expect the letter to be read soon at meeting.
Like no one else will do relief work, or aid their neighbor!
for family worship last night, our family watched remember the wife of lot movie since it will be discussed in the meeting this week.
there’s a few things i noticed that i didn’t think about last time i watched it.. first, the dad is very of course against his daughters going to college or even trying to find a good job.
yet he does accounting, which is a very good job that almost always requires a college education.
Not to differ, but Duck Soup IS a documentary on modern politics.
As to the middle class lives portrayed, I would even call them upper middle. And remember, there are lots of JW's who did manage to get college and become accountants, nurses, lawyers. They are the ones with an extra bedroom so they can take in a visiting dignitary and wine and dine him. None of the hideabed and hope the damned old truck will start.
If I ever get a time machine, I am gonna go back and bump both those girls.
how many people here can sincerely say those words to someone?
i take it most here do not say prayers, right?
?.
I don't know someone elses belief all the time. And as far as I can tell a lot of prayers go up in smoke. I will give best wishes/thoughts to anyone, including mentioning prayer if I think it is appropriate to make them feel better.
i have a nephew that has just recently being diagnosed with a life threatening disease through bad choices he has made in his life over the last 20 years.
now he has asked myself and my sons to be there for him and without being judgemental we have being up at the hospital every other day for the last couple of weeks.
now this is the part where i am just pissed right off.. one of my nephews other cousins goes to the hospital and starts giving him a guilt trip, saying that this was all his own fault that she couldn't talk to him for the last 20 years and his sickness now is all because he left jehooba organization blah blah blah.
what of all those faithful ones who get cancer, and all the other ills? or get killed on a trip to a convention. How about the ones who do not have good insurance (money) and have to forego treatments?
Maybe that is why the part about casting the first stone has been deleted
i have been out a good 10+ years and until recently didnt pay much attention to what the jehovahs are up to.. why have they taken this turn with the bunker videos and making all the brainwashed people like my parents pack a go bag.
now let me just clarify.
im a military man i believe everyone should have an element of preparedness canned goods,bottled water and a bug out bag is a great addition ( ill stop waffling on about that now).. but what concerns me is the fact they are advising elderly people to bug out.
Being prepared and having a go bag is a popular movement among all sorts right now. it is an offshoot of the troubles had during recent catastrophes. it is encouraged by the government,, just look at the Awake information and compare it to what the gov. encourages. What I will carry that is not on the list is a .22 pistol.
Nobody has told what is going to happen here, we are too far away from coasts to have hurricanes, are not in earthquake country.
You can count on the family being in separate areas when whatever happens anyway. My take is we have some really good neighbors if it hits even if they don't go to meeting. As for the elders, who is going to look after these duffers?
what is the strangest picture drawn or other you ever saw in a jw article?.
any of the new water color or whatever things they put in the new WTs. Or the stick figure videos.
used to be the wt said timothy was maybe 30 and still considered young.
this last study has him a snot nosed (my take) teenager, who is moving up.
the actual bible account only tells him being raised as a believer.
Used to be the WT said Timothy was maybe 30 and still considered young. This last study has him a snot nosed (my take) teenager, who is moving up. The actual Bible account only tells him being raised as a believer. None of the drama stuff about having a materialistic father (if he was even around), skipping "college", having worldly friends trying to influence him.
My own opinion is he was in his 30's, that is how long it takes to get a handle on life. But never let facts get in the way of an argument.
if a decades-long apostate decides that they should marry a semi-active jw, what odds would you put on the viability of the marriage?
if not viable, how long before the shit would hit the fan?
jk.
despite all the hype, marriages are made or broken on similar backgrounds and common goals, not the 10 hours and spending vacation at conventions. A semi in witness would probably be OK with missing meetings, and compromising on holidays (just don't get too blatant).
Can the two make a decent life in things like housing, family, recreation, common goals?
hi guys!
i thought you guys would be able to clarify something for me.
according to jw’s what qualifies you to become an elder and who does the appointing?
here there are not any new appointments to either "privilege". must have to do with the old boys club. the CO did notice it last visit there are a lot of beat men trying to make a living and make sense of the direction??? the WT is taking
