  Dec 15th WT - Our Watchfulness Takes on Greater Urgency

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i picked up this copy of the wt, i couldn't believe what i saw in the two study articles.

  the first one is entitled "our watchfulness takes on greater urgency" and the second article is "prove yourselves ready for jehovah's day".. i'm not going to go into these articles in depth, as that is blondies job!

  but i will elaborate on a few points.. before i begin, let's consider a recent comment at the annual general meeting by bro barr, a gb member to put things into perspective:.

  What about the idea of having to run to the Kingdom Hall itself when the Big A started? That was the part that sounded new to me. But maybe this is just my mum's take on things. Are they now stockpiling cots and blankets and C-rations so people can wait out the tribulation in the KH? Wouldn't that be fun? - a good poster (forgot name...duh)

  I remember in the early 70's that it was DRILLED into our heads that our local KH - and primarily our Book Study Site was our Link To Information When The Great Tribulation Started. That's the primary reason we were supposed to go each week........so we'd get the most immediate information on how to save ourselves & our jw family.

  Remember those horrible experiences of brothers being gunned down in front of their tv's - because they stayed home & didn't go to The Meeting. Those Faithful Witnesses were saved because the evil soldiers KNEW all in the KH were Good Christians.

  The conducting elder was The One Who Knew Us. What if the phone lines are down? No foord or water? Dying of apostate gunshoot wounds? Pestilence all around us? Loose wild animals trying to devour us? Blood running like a river through our front yards? Well.............our Book Study Conductor would know what to do.

  No food/blankets/medicine - as any good jw is taught that "we do not stockpile as that would state we don't trust in Jehovah to save us." Just WT information.

  Ahhhhhhhhhh, The Good 'Ol Days. augggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh!

  2. beliefs

  a pebble out of your neighbors eye.

  such a wonderful statement about judgement of others.. as we fight wars on the other side of the world in an attempt to rid the world of terrorists.

  i would like to bring out the fact that we have terrorists right here in our town and every town in our nation.. it is called domestic violence.

  Well, certainly glad you DID say that being gay WAS evil. Unless you're grammatically challenged - double negative = positive. waiting daughter of gay. daughter in law of gay (was). neice of gay. mother of gay.

  Welcome free-to........

  Nice to meet you.......and we'll REALLY meet next weekend. Btw, Patio's my sister, who just got back from Europe. She lives in CA - so I think she'll be the woman costumed as a French Floozie.

  I'll be joining those who drink too much and sloshing around in the ocean. I suspect there'll be quite a group. Lampshade optional.

  Let's seeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Computer literate posters having no place to post about their religion.....and losing their on-line friends for the most part.

  Where, o where, can they go in their spare time? Who will say "howdy" to them? *Invite* them to discuss their beliefs, hopes of Armageddon devastation, etc? Make new friends with like interest in religion?

  WELCOME JW FRIENDS! Star Trek names are still available for free! Bring your own pictures.

  I've bought yelloware pottery, jadite dishes, etc. We've collected for years - so I was pretty sure of what I was buying. Not been stung.

  I've also bought Radko ornaments - and ONE seller screwed me. I was so mad. $15.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I'm cheap.

  I know a guy who sells racing stuff - and he's screwed soooooooooooooo many people. He just lays low for a while, changes his name, then goes back on.

  It helps to know the basic value of what you're looking at BEFORE you finish bidding. Empty Coke bottles should never go over $5.00.
