so yesterday was the wt on vows.. it spoke, in part about two vows.
the vow you make in dedication and the vow of marriage.
here's how it describes them.. the most important vow that a christian can make is the one with which he dedicates his life to jehovah.
There were two unbaptized that got married in the Elmira, On kingdom hall. they were only a year in the religion. An elder said it was better to marry them soon or they were afraid that this couple would have sex before marriage. They were only nineteen years old. After four years, the kid was made an elder.
Anything goes when the elders like you.
shocking video from jw.org shows the "new light" that there was no slave class handing out spiritual food for 1900 years!!
so the original governing body became apostate and fell apart.
charles russell re-started the faithful slave even though the watchtower admits he learned everything he ever knew from the "second adventists".
Watch them change the number of the 144,000 since there were no FDS until 1919. More bull crap to come.

I had read in their mags that from 33ce to when the temple was torn down in 70ce, that is when the FDS existed. Then there were no FDS until 1919. If that's the case, then from the book of Jude to Revelations, these books were not inspired even though some of them start off as Peter a bondservant or slave or Jude who also was a slave. These books were written from 70AD and on. When there were no FDS to give them the proper food at the right time???????? You might as well rip those books out of the bible then.
update on mouthy (grace gough)this is graces granddaughter.
i wanted to send an update that today my beautiful grandmother passed away - surrounded by friends and family.
- may 22 1927 - sept 2nd 2016. mouthys_granddaughter.
Thank you, Susan for letting us know. Your never ready to hear news like this however with Grace, she wanted to and was ready to leave this earth. She use to make me laugh when I would call or go over and see her. She could never remember my real name but as soon as I would say it's me, Label Licker, she would laugh and we would then be at her table looking over pics of her and her family. She was very proud of all of them.
It was Grace who introduced me to this site and for that I will never forget her plus her love for all of us who had been deeply hurt and wounded. You could go to her and feel safe coming away knowing your not the only one and that everything will be ok.
Good night, Grace and god bless. Now you can rest. The used bookstores will also miss you:)
after hubby skipped out on the memorial his parents and close friends started getting more assertive with him.
before they took on the role of the concerned let me rescue you from your apostate wife's clutches.
it's 100% my fault he stopped being a witness according to the inlaws.
so the wt today had some paragraphs that told young people they could make their own stand for da troof.... 2 since we live in a fierce, loveless world, it is no surprise that many children have to grow up without the benefit of loving, protective parents.
(2 tim.
3:1-5) many christians today come from painful family backgrounds, but they have built close friendships with jehovah.
Yeah Data Dog, or the fact that it's god that gives us free will and it's him alone that can take that free will away from us. Ask a poor molested child if they had wanted to report the creep that molested them and they will say yes! But who silenced them and took their free will away from them so they couldn't report the crime. JW.Org, that's who.
Or ask a child if they want to live instead of die and they will say they want to live. Yet, it was this cult that said no blood transfusion for all these victims. They must die. Absolutely no free will allowed in JW.Org Cult.
during co visit, i took him for a bible study i was conducting.
during the session, the householder said he believed satan was not a person, but personification of evil within us.
i left co to handle householder’s doubt.
Stuckinarut2,
it's not hard. We had two uneducated goon elders at the end of our lane look at my husband and say the very same thing: YOUR DISFELLOWSHIPPED! They yelled at him so loud that I could hear it from the house. They are showing how desperate they are.
i was contacted by my ex sister-in-law yesterday.
she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.
it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .
in our congregation, the elders rarely comment.
the majority rarely comment, 2 sisters, vehemently, and often comment.
since in their case, it can not possibly be" teaching in the congregation", is participation in the wt "study"in general an affirmation of faith?
this is the jerusalem council of faithful jewish christians addressing what obstacles gentile converts must hurdle to be accepted by them.
(note: this statement is a paraphrase of a much earlier law of the sons of noah.).
acts 15: "it is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the gentiles who are turning to god" (v. 19).
Excellent Terry! It's writings like this that will make a jw think and look into it further then to criticize or try to convert them to another kind of belief. This site use to be good that way with different ones using only the scriptures. This one made me think once again.
Thanks!
