  GOING DOWN TO THE WIRE

  things are gettn interestinger and interestinger every day.

  on the international scene any number of scenarios can serve as triggers to set off wwiii, or the tribulation, whatever you may prefer to call it.

  the next cross-border atrocity by rogue militants could easily detonate a conflagration between nuclear-poised india and pakistan.

  Brothers and Sisters, i have read all of the posts on this subject although i didn't manage to see the show myself. I have been quite disturbed by some of the things i have read here. Not because of what they are about, witnesses aren't dumb - we know this does happen. The trouble is, the lines of reasoning that are presented here are similiar to what i have read when in the past i have stumbled across apostate material.
  Yes you can all sit there typing away telling us how bad you think what happens is, and why isn't this done, and why doesn't the society do this and that. It seems to me that you think the society is a fault in dealing with these matters. Unfortunately, you have left out one major factor. The society, and the congregation today is Jehovah God's. It belongs to no man. Jesus is the head of the congregation. These are basic facts that all of you should know yet you seem to forget about them when problems arise. Do you not think Jehovah and Jesus see what happens? Of course they do. And they see infinitely more situations (and infintely more OF the situations) then you, a judge, or a tv programme ever could. Do you honestly think that Jehovah would allow his society to make mistakes in dealing with children abusers? The Creator of the universe, the most powerful and awesome being, can't sort out human problems?
  Don't be silly. Of course Jehovah can. And it is him that will sort it out. It isn't up to us to sit here and knock how the brothers (chosen and selected by Jehovah) handle things. They are controlled by Jehovah. If they don't get their punishment now, they will get it in the future, for sure.
  So are you trusting in Jehovah? Do you trust the people he has chosen to make decisions, whether they make mistakes or not? Because that is part of our worship, it is part of the organization.
  Personally, sitting here reading all the posts of what should happen, i feel more inclined to trust a perfect loving God who can see and understand all the facts, then imperfect humans who only see one side of the story most of the time.
  Brothers, take a look at the bigger picture. The congregation is in Jehovah God's hand. It will get sorted in the end.

  Lady Lee,
  While your getting the message out why not email people like David letterman,Jay Leno,and Conan O'brian letting them know about the show,im sure it will give them some material for there shows,i watch letterman and he's always making jokes about the catholic priests.

  p.s im from the u.k so i only get to watch the 3 shows mentioned there must be more types of shows in the U.S,the idea is to get as much exposure as possible...

  Tell them you both suffer from claustraphobia so you can't attend meetings because there are no windows and that makes you condition worse!

  .....married with children

  by sadiejive in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a few quick questions.... how did you who got out of "the truth" deal with having a spouse who is still involved?

  what did you do about situations involving your children (such as holidays, birthdays, blood issue, religious upbringing, sports-ymca/karate)?.

  since i am the "wife" i feel like i am in a doubly awkward position due to the "submission" issue.

  Fred,is it true that the JWs systematically distorted the Bible to make it fit your preconceived beliefs?
