Finkelstein, what scripture is that? I like to read it and ask any JWs about that one the next time they happen to come to my door!

Q. about an old Kingdom Song (needs an old timer to answer)

by snugglebunny in

jw
friends

back when i was a boy, we were using the old green songbook entitled "songs to jehovah's praise".

one of the songs contained the lyrics: "happy is the man who stays awake and keeps his outer garments".

i don't know what the song was called.. i'm pretty sure that the melody to this song was another rip-off from an already existing tune, in this case the maine stein song.

somebody

Interesting! I only remember the purple soft cover song book from the 70s. Two songs I remember some of the lyrics to:

"We're Jehovah's Witnesses, we speak out in fearlessness. Ours is the God of true prophecy....What He foretells comes to be."

And:

"But as for me, determined I shall be.....blah blah blah....In my integrity."

I loved the piano and loved singing but resisted the urge to just belt it out. LOL I've heard that there is no more piano playing and the music just sucks nowadays.

peace,

Two JWs came to my door recently. I asked one of them to read Ecclesiastes 9:5 for me. I then asked them if all living JWs are knowing or believing or are conscious that THEY WILL DIE. Neither one of them would answer but hurriedly told me about the dead. I again asked them to read the scripture over and asked the same question. Neither one would answer the question but tried to talk about the dead again! Hmmmm.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5 NWT) 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.

Bolding mine. Just food for thought. :-)

My heart goes out to you and my heart goes out to your daughter too. Because when she wakes up, she'll realize she cannot go back in time and she will need all the help and support she can get. And please accept my deepest sympathy at the loss of your wonderful MOM. (((((BONEZZ))))) I pray that your daughter wakes up SOON so that you can enjoy your grandchild!

For the Supporters of Those Who Love Jehovah

by lovesjehovah in

jw
friends

i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.

i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.

i do not condone any crime.

somebody

I love threads like this. It shows that JWs Love "Jehovah" who did NOT die to save them. Jws would NEVER start a thread stating that they Love Jesus Christ, the ONE SAVIOR. Anyone who is a Christian would. Rather, they leave Christ OUT of the love.

Matthew 25:31

by lambsbottom in

so many changes throughout the wt history!.

.

is matthew 25:31 concerning after armageddon or during/before?.

somebody

Great question, lambsbottom! It's odd that if you include verses before and after Matthew 25:31, Jws run into problems. Even MORE problems than they did trying to explain the WBTS Inc's teachings, which JWs claim were "their own", BEFORE 1995!

(Matthew 25:31 NWT) 31 “When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.

scum bag elder

by Crazyguy in

so last night i had a family meeting and told my kids that i was quitting as a jw and then gave my wife my da letter to give to the one elder i like at the hall tonight.

so this morning i see a text from the co elder the one that met with me and is gunning to get me out and had already tried to get me to a jc meeting this week.

so the text reads "your wife has informed me of your letter and its sad to hear, would like to meet one last time not as a jc, to be sure this is what you want.".

somebody

A simple "No thanks", as another poster responded, would be my response too.
