  My heart's not in it

  by What is Truth? in

  you know how when your asked to talk about something your not interested in how annoying it is, or difficult to debate something from the opposite side of your view.

  after learning ttatt i've come to regard the nonsense the org spouts as quite evil then to have to give parts about how great it is makes me hate it that much more.. story aside, what might you say to the elders to get them to dismiss it or get off your back if you told them your heart's not in it any more?.

  not the obvious it's a stupid hypocritical cult that needs to be wiped from the face of the earth..

  If you look back a little for SAHS post, he or she said what is below. That person said much more but I would just say, " I dedicated my life to GOD, and not to any human, any group of humans, any work, or any organization when I got baptized". And I prefer to and WILL keep it that way. And then just tell anyone questioning you that you don't wish to discuss it any further. And I would say that whether you still believe in God or not. It'll give you time to yourself to search online or /and your heart and come to a conclusion either way.

  There is a fundamental lie which I couldn’t help noticing today in the Our Christian Life and Ministry—Meeting Workbook for August 1-7, 2016. It is in the little supplemental page considered this week under the title “Improving Our Skills in the Ministry—Helping Bible Students to Progress to Dedication and Baptism,” in the first paragraph (labelled “WHY IMPORTANT”), third sentence. Here is that sentence:
  “A Christian’s dedication is to Jehovah—not to a human, a work, or an organization.”

  · for what reasons does jesus have the formerly demonized man tell others about what jesus did?.

  but jesus tells the man: “go home to your relatives, and report to them all the things jehovah has done for you and the mercy he has shown you.”—mark 5:19.. .

  (mark 5:18-20) .

  RubaDub ( ha ha ha! That's a funny name! ), NAH. It was just me trying to figure out how to scan and then find what I scanned and then learn how to post it. It took me hours to find my KIT, and then more hours to figure out the rest! If I had won something big in Las Vegas, I probably would have posted more than 3 times in a row. :-)

  peace,

  Not sure if I know how to insert what I scanned from my, "The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures but I'm going to try."

  Here are the scriptures from the NWT, smiddy ( the bolding is mine though )

  (Mark 5:19, 20) 19 However, he did not let him but said to him: “Go home to your relatives, and report to them all the things Jehovah has done for you and the mercy he has shown you.” 20 This man went away and started to proclaim in the De·capʹo·lis all the things Jesus had done for him, and all the people were amazed.

  
  (Luke 8:38, 39) 38 However, the man from whom the demons had gone out kept begging to continue with him, but he sent the man away, saying: 39 “Go back home, and keep on relating what God did for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.
  
  Thank you for catching my mistake! :-)

  FayeDunaway, I find it interesting too. Because when looking up on any year of WT cds, USUALLY both Mark 5: 18-20 AND Luke 8: 38-39 are avoided. There is a reason for that.

  And yes, I quoted from the NWT. And those scriptures have not been changed YET by the WTBT INC. Give them time! ;-)

  (Luke 8:38-39) NWT published by the WBTS Inc. ...

  . . .. 38 However, the man from whom the demons had gone out kept begging to continue with him, but he sent the man away, saying: 39 “Go back home, and keep on relating what God did for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.

  Per usual, I mix everything up. If any JWs are here, tell us all why the question was asked, " For what reasons does Jesus have the formerly demonized man tell others about what Jesus did?" after quoting Mark 5:19. When in Mark 5:19 reads:

  NWT

  19 However, he did not let him but said to him: “Go home to your relatives, and report to them all the things Jehovah has done for you and the mercy he has shown you.”

  My question is, DID JESUS HAVE THE FORMERLY DEMONIZED MAN TELL OTHERS ABOUT WHAT JESUS DID in the said scripture?

  
  

  Obviously NOT. So what did JWs do when reading that book/brochure? Was the book brochure written for NON JWs ONLY?

  From the book/brochure published by the WTBT INC. 2016

  Jesus, The Way, The Truth, The Life

  Chapter 45 Jesus, The Way, The Truth, The Life

  Did NO JWs notice anything?

  I would suggest that JWs SEARCH ALL the Watchtower publications using that scripture and Luke 8:38 AND 39

  (Luke 8:37-39) . . .. 38 However, the man from whom the demons had gone out kept begging to continue with him, but he sent the man away, saying: 39 “Go back home, and keep on relating what God did for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.

  
  

  DID ANY JW's studying the "Jesus" booklet/ brochure pay ANY attention to chapter 45 and notice ANYTHING wrong with the questions asked at the end of the chapter?

  If not, one of the 3 questions are at the BEGINNING if my thread! Read it and answer it!
