  I would like to thank the Lord I am OK

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i saw this on facebook: "i would like to thank the lord i am ok. had a serious fall yesterday from my garage landing to the cement floor and landed on my back.

  i suffered a closed head wound, severe cervical sprain, 2 broken ribs and multiple contusions on hand and arm and shoulder.

  could have been a lot worse.".

  Let’s not ignore the need to “share.”

  People could just “thank the Lord” silently and privately and be done with it, and no doubt many do.

  But there’s a whole lot more going on that causes other people to be so public about these kinds of experiences.

  Obviously they want others to know about their trials and tribulations, but at the same time they need to turn it into an opportunity to advertise their faith and/or spirituality.

  It’s a way to get a dual emotional and psychological payoff, a two-fer of sorts: “Woe is me (can I get a little sympathy here?), and while we’re at it—look at me. Aren’t I the spiritual one? God loves me, this I know and I just had to tell you so!”

  It’s a weird kind of dysfunctional attention getting behavior delivered in a virtue-signaling wrapper.

  What exactly is the JANUARY 2018 WT trying to tell J.W.'s?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the needle has been stuck on the record for over 130 years - thanks to mr. russell and his successive cohorts:.

  page 11, paragraph 19 - “as this system nears its end,....”.

  page 13, paragraph 5 - “do my actions show that i truly believe that these are the last days and that the end of satan’s rule is near?”.

  "the way you walked was thorny, through no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end.

  now you will have peace for eternity.

  Karter, that’s “damn” with an “n” at the end.

  I’m pretty sure Rhett Butler wasn’t talking about “a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, the resulting reservoir being used in the generation of electricity or as a water supply.“

  Spelling counts!

  Watchtower illogic

  Claim that the wild beast of Revelation is the United Nations...yet the WT joins and supports them for 10 years so that they can get a library card.

  That’s not illogical, it’s hypocritical.
  

  But that’s okay because it was this particular hypocritical act on the part of the WT leadership that started waking me up to the fact that JWs are a cult.

  I've noticed that the tone of these letters is identical to the one Trump has when he talks about "his accomplishments."

  So there are only 12 magazines left!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok, so hot on the heels of the announcement at the agm, we have been told that there are probably only 12 magazines left!.

  yes, there will be only 3 wt each year, and 3 awakes.... and that they will do this for two years, then reprint those issues.... so yes, the "abundance of spiritual food" is limited to 12 more magazines..... surely, this is proof of the end coming so soon!?!

  With only six magazines being published a year it will now take 32 years to get that "college education" that the WTBTS used to tout so loudly and proudly.
