Praying for others?

by pixel in

i’m looking for an article, from the watchtower, where it says that we should not pray for other members from the stage.

does anyone remember an article saying this?.

Do you still debate with JWs?

by punkofnice in

i was talking to an ex-jw.

not been out as long as i have.. cut a long story short, i came to realise that i can no longer be bothered to debate jws if (on the rare occasion), i have encountered them.. i think that because i am somewhere circling a nihilistic atheist it seems pointless.

i just don't have the energy because i rarely even think about jw related garbage.

In my experience, if you can find a JW who will debate as opposed to run, they get very angry very quick. Not quite hostile, but aggressive and the conversation picks up speed and it's hard to slow it down.

I remember an article from 2014, 2015 saying not to pray for disfellowshipped persons.

there is a "jehovahs witnesses discussion forum" that ask for people to share "non first hand experiences you feel compelled to share."..

so stories about smurfs wandering about conventions for example.

yes "non first hand experiences you feel compelled to share.".

The elders as wolves is pretty funny, I gotta say. Not far off from what I hear.

Will You Still Wear A Mask Even If You Don’t Have To?

it seems that some people just aren’t ready to put those masks aside even if they are fully vaccinated!

some can’t help but think their brains aren’t ready for “normal”..

That's how I feel too hybridus. Not saying COVID isn't real: it is. Not saying COVID isn't dangerous: it is. But I'm sick of my freedoms being limited because I might get sick. I might get sick anyway in non-COVID times.

According to the article, the Lego guy used copyrighted material. Yeah, fair enough, he probably shouldn't have done that, but this is supposed to be an organization that embodies Jesus' teachings. What happened to love your enemy, forgive those who hurt you? Nah, sue the pants off them.
