  1. Who do you listen to? Jehovah or His organization?

  2. If you listen to Jehovah, how does He speak to you?

  3. If Jehovah speaks to you through the organization, who in the organization does He speak to? The GB? The FDS? Who are they?

  4. Are the GB the FDS? Who elect them? If in 1914 Jesus elected them, they are now dead, so how about their successors? Who elected them, based on what? Directed by the Holy Spirit?

  5. What did the GB or the organization get their message from Jehovah? Do they pray, or fast? Do they live the life and do the deeds like the men of God in the Bible did - living out the fruits of the holy spirit, casting demons, healing people?

  6. If not (to Question 5), then why?

  Why I Stayed Married to my "Apostate" Husband for 30 Years. Help for those whose marriages are in trouble now that you have left The Lie.

  i have to say i am surprised and am quite saddened to hear how many jdub marriages fall apart when one partner becomes an "unbelieving mate" or even an "apostate.

  " i thought i might post my thoughts on my thinking process during the time my hubby, bethelyellowdollarbag, in my jdub thinking moved along the path from an "unbelieving mate" to an "apostate" over the course of 30 years before i finally woke up to ttatt.

  "-1 corinthians 10:13.. *** it-1 p. 126 apostasy ***.

  2. bible

  this is the parable of the faithful and discreet slave, put up from the three gospels, so you can see their differences (3 gospels out of 4 relate this):.

  matthew 24:42-51: (prefered by the gb/fds/gb).

  42 keep on the watch, therefore, because ?you?

  There was a knock at the door....

  or more like a thunking sound really, which set our little dog into a fit of barking.

  i crawled out from behind the fridge where i was doing a repair on the waterline for the icemaker, so i could go see what all the commotion was about.

  i fugured it was going to be my neighbor returning my ladder but instead it was jw's handing out memorial invites.. the woman and the young man (her 20 something son) were people i had known but hadn't seen since we faded 4+ years ago.

  FOUR FREEMASONS receive honorable mention in today's WT Study...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  that's right... 4 freemasons are quoted with honorable mention in today's wt rag study... anyways, these are:.

  paragraph 1: john greenleaf whittier (1807-1892) - freemason and quaker poet who wrote "masonic voice review".

  there is even a freemason affiliated lodge in massachusetts named after him... the john greenleaf whittier order of demolay which is part of the "freemasons of the eastern star"... paragraph 4: albert barnes (1798-1870) - freemason and presbyterian who was directly involved in the gnostic liberation front which, among other false teachings, attempted to dissuade their members into believing that lucifer is not satan.

  My husband MISSED the meeting today! AGAIN!!!

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yep, i was comparing the nwt with the greek, which, incidentally uses words like 'grace' and 'spirit' instead of 'undeserved kindness' and 'gifts of the spirit'.

  i pointed out these mistranslations to my dear husband.. then i showed him 2 tim 2:5-6 in the nwt and the original greek (strong's, westcott and hort) as well, where it says jesus became mediator for all and showed him in the wt where it says jesus is only mediator for 144 000. i also showed him an instance in the wt where it raves on about hating 'apostates' and others, then showed him matthew 5:44 "however i say to you: continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you.".

  i didn't have to say anything 'apostate'; just show him the contrasting texts.. then i showed him the "shepherd" book where it says one can get dfd for "deliberately spreading teachings contraryto bible truth as taught by jebovah's witnesses" (ibid, pg 65) and told him that i've deliberately told him something different to the wt teaching therefore in the elders' eyes, i can be dfd.
