I’m so sad . . .

by HappyBlessedFree in

so my husband asked me if i’m going to the memorial.

i said “no”.. he asked would it be okay if i take the kids.

“i would prefer that you didn’t”.. why can’t he see the lies!

H.B.F you have been given a lot of encouragement and advice on here so far that I hope will benefit you .

I can only give you my 2 cents worth that also helps you .I know its not easy .

So here goes :

The G.B.of jehovah`s Witnesses claim that God -Jehovah approved them as the "true' religion and rejected all other religions around the time of 1919 on what the International bible Students as they were then known under Charles Taze Russell were teaching.

The thing is ,if that were true and Jesus christ /Jehovah God did in fact approve of all the teachings that the IBSA preached and taught all of those years ago in 1919 and approved them on that basis .

Then i`m sorry but Jesus Christ /Jehovah God would have to reject them today as his "true religion " simply because the Jehovah`s Witness religion does not preach or believe what they taught back in 1919.

So simply stated if they were approved by God in 1919 on what they believed and taught and now in 2019 they reject as old light what they taught in 1919 and not applicable today ,they would be rejected by Jehovah God and Christ Jesus as the true religion.

they can`t have it both ways .

I hope this helps

Take care .

The difference of walking into a Cathedral contrasted with a walking into a Kingdom hall their is no competition.

The Cathedral wins hands down .

Their is no real comparison ,Kingdom Halls are more like and feel like community centres ,

Whereas the traditional Churches / Cathedrals give out that spiritual divine feeling of reverence that you certainly don`t experience in a KH.

Churches / Cathedrals give off this reverance , of spirituality ,holiness ,something sacred about the place a place to worship God .

On the other hand Kingdom halls are just like market places ,community centres ,nothing sacred or spiritual about them at all .

I would go as far to say I believe Muslim / Islam places of worship are far more Spiritual than kingdom halls are.

Watchtower analysis on Tony Morris

by corruptgirl in

jw
friends

i never post on here.

i am sanchy's wife.

i posted my coming out story about 3 yrs ago.

smiddy3

The fact that Tony Morris enjoys an alcoholic drink like whiskey which is not wrong in itself, however surely will give the R&F the impetus that they too can go full tank now that its out their in the public domain that a GB member can do it so ,why cant we ?

That`s all the excuse they need.

Alcoholic problems are going to escalate in the Jehovah`s Witness ranks in the next few years .

How Do They Chose Someone To Be A Member Of The Illustrious Governing Body?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i'm mean were talking making someone a policy maker for the corporation that can have serious financial consequences.

i'm sure intelligence is not high on the priority list for this noble office being they hate higher education and consider it a waste of time.. i'm sure they would thoroughly know the party line as any self respecting mind control would never choose an original thinker.

i'm also sure a lot of ass kissing happens before one gets chosen as a ass wiping helper which seem to be a sort of initiation into governing body corporate politics and a sort of proving ground to show your determination protect the organization from the enemy be they what ever source.

I got my invite today for a "Special" talk that has already been given 3-4 days ago ?

by smiddy3 in

is that stupid ,lazy, crazy or what ?

i`m talking about a brochure ?could you call it that ?.

"you are welcome to attend ".

smiddy3

Is that stupid ,lazy, crazy or what ? I`m talking about a brochure ?could you call it that ?

"You Are Welcome To Attend "

Of course I`m referring to the invitation to the Annual commemoration of the death of Jesus Christ Friday April 19,2019.

However the brochure also advertises a "Special" talk that is to be given

"Reach out For The Real Life" on Sunday April 14 2019 which took place 4 days ago.?

You would think they would redact that in light that it has already past but no,not this lot.

As a side note : keeping in mind the GB members 12 bottles of top shelf Whiskey,

the address of the KH is 87 beveridges Road Lakes Entrance .

I thought that was funny.

The illustration given of that last supper shows only 10 people ?

And i noticed it was printed in Japan.

Thoughts anyone ?

Have You Been Invited To This Year’s Memorial ?

by minimus in

jw
friends

last year was the first time i didn’t get an invitation to the lord’s evening meal.

i think they finally gave up on me..

smiddy3

Hooray ! We recieved our invite today, sadly though I was sitting on the throne when they knocked on the door and mrs smiddy didn`t know who it was and wasn`t dressed to answer it .Was ealy in the morning.

Something that struck me as funny in light of the Tony Morris & his twelve bottles of booze.

The address of the KH is in Beveridges Road and the "Special" Bible talk to be given on Sunday is

"Reach Out For The Real Life"

to be given on Sunday april the 14th 2019 at 10:00 am

Which is well and truly past ? WTF ? Giving you an invite to a talk that has already been given ?

And in the illustration their are only 10 people shown including Jesus apparently.

And the invitation is printed in Japan.

Is it just me or is their something seriously wrong with these people ?

The recent "Special " talk ,how many times was the name JEHOVAH mentioned VS the name JESUS

by smiddy3 in

the jehovah`s witnesses have long charged christendom`s religions falsely i might add of hiding the name of god jehovah /yahweh from their congregants ,by not using it or putting that name on the back burner so to speak ,and just using it minimally .. i`m just wondering if the jehovah`s witnesses /wtb&ts are actually guilty themselves of doing the very same thing with the name of jesus.. in the nwt of the bible 1984 edition i have in the section bible words indexed they have the name jehovah listed 80+ times ,.

however the name jesus is listed less than twenty times .. while i concede the bulk of the bible is contained by the o.t./hebrew scriptures and the n.t./christian greek scriptures are a smaller portion of the bible jehovah`s witness theology do place a lot more emphasis on jehovah than they do with jesus.. arent they guilty of trying to downplay the role of jesus christ in christianity ?

and exulting the name of jehovah which by the way goes against the christian teaching .phillipians 2:9-11.

SBF

Can JW`s or anybody else for that matter name one scripture in the New Testament where Christians were called to be Jehovah`s Witnesses ? ..... just one ?

However their are twenty or so scriptures that state Christians are to be witnesses of Jesus in the NT.

Acts 11:26b ' ...and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians " ...by divine providence mind you , they were called Christians not Jehovah`s Witnesses.

I`m surprised at you SBF in using Acts 4:10 while acknowledging that " in the name of Jesus Christ...and that their is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved"

you resort to the meaning of Jesus name to imply that scripture is bearing a witness for the name of Jehovah .

That is dishonest .I`m disappointed in you Slim

Nowhere in the KI word for word translation into English published by the WT in 1969 of the New Testament is the Tetragrammaton found the four Hebrew letters for Gods name nor do they appear in Greek.

Yet that name Jehovah appears in the NWT of the bible in the NT.section. Another dishonesty.

Isaiah 62:2b ..."And you will actually be called by a new name which the very mouth of Jehovah will designate"

And that name proved to be "Christians" followers of Jesus Christ .Acts 11:26b ....by divine providence.
