  The Evidence that the truth is good for you!

  by JEMIMAH in

  a growing body of evidence suggests that being a jehovah's witness can be good medicine.

  new findings seem to emerge every other month: jehovah's witnesses live longer.

  prayer helps heart patients.

  "well we know JW's have the only TRUE "strong faith" so only JW strong faith can help people "cope"- ofcourse the cancer still kills them but thay cope so very well."

  If you read the thread on pets, you'll realize that they can cope with loss of family and friends due to cancer because:

  "The 'Drool' Overseer's remarks were something along the line of "We shouldn't let over emotionalism about animals impede our worship of Jehovah, the Creator."

  Just substitue humans for pets, and there ya go.. A message straight from God's mouthpiece!!!

  Hmmm,

  I guess if you discount

  A. ) High Suicide rate

  [C'mon all you lurkers, ask yourself, how many people do I know that have committed suicide.. Then ask people that are NOT JW's how many people they know that committed suicide.. Interestingly enough, out of all my friends, I only know of 2 people that know people who have committed suicide.. BOTH ARE JW's, and both of the suicide victims were JW's.. The rest of my 12+ good friends don't know of anyone who has committed suicide]

  B. ) The studies which show JW's have abnormally high levels of mental illness compared to other religions or groups...

  [C'mon you lurkers, you people are sooo well 'balanced' that you fall off a scale as compared to any other group of religious based people]

  C. ) The result of 'stress' caused by always feeling not good enough for Jehovah, and carrying your own sins with you without any way to get rid of them...

  [C'mon you lurkers, you know this is you.. How did I know that, it's almost like I was writing it directly to you, wasn't it.. Guess what, you all feel that way, because that's the way the GB wants it.. No Self-esteem, no independent thinking allowed.. You always need to spend more time in FS to feel better, and since you don't have a personal relationship with God, you have no outlet to rid yourself of your guilt]

  Assuming you discount all of that, then maybe the guy has a point :-)

  Pets

  i have noticed in a few posts lately that there have been negative articles concerning being owned by pets.

  the only bound volumes i have are 1991 through 1995 and the only things i can find in the index are a few snippets in watching the world except for an article in the 1/22/93 awake which was quite possitive.. the negatives that i read are that pets take time and money away from service to our dearly beloved printing society.

  can anyone give me some quotes?

  The dogs gave their lives to release him from bondage of the WT..

  The dogs were angels in disguise!!!!

  Oh, and can't you just "feel the love" of the overseer? Such a loving bunch, hope they are around when I have a loved one pass away to give me such "comfort"... <GAG>..

  This is one of the most repulsive things I've heard one human do to another in my life!!!!!

  Now that is amazing..

  I guess even the unconditional love of an animal is way way way tooo much to ask for while serving Jehovah's organization...

  Are there any negative comments about owning a car? Because, as we all know, maintanence costs add up, and then there is that pesky fuel bill, not to mention the washing and waxing involved.. It takes soooo much time away from the duties of the good Christian. Time much better spent out in field service (And they walk in FS anyway, so who needs a car??)..

  In fact, the car can be a tool of SATAN.. If you own a car, you might be tempted to get a job, once again taking away time from field service...

  Of course, it could be that the GB hasn't figured out how to make dogs and cats shun their owners yet, and since the GB cannot control the pets, they just prefer to discard them :-)

  Unconditional Love...No Carrot

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a question that has bothered me, even when pioneering and the strongest of witnesses is, why do people serve god in order to receive something in return?.

  the bible says to love god with your whole heart, mind and soul.

  if you take away the carrot of the new system, how many witnesses would go from door to door, study, meditate, attend meetings and assemblies or even show an interest?.

  Excellent point!!!!

  I've had a few witnesses tell me that they hate going door-to-door, and that they are doing things that "They don't want to do"..

  My guess is that even slaves in the 1800's had 'love' for their masters because they were afraid of the beatings they would receive if they were disobedient.. Wonder how many slaves in the south would have voluntarily stayed with their masters if all threats of punishment were taken away, and it was just "the love" that was left..

  Very good analogy!!!

  Oh,

  You've got to be kidding.. The WT is now claiming that pets are bad too?? Wow! I know of a friend of mine that may leave over that one.. He loves his dogs.. After all, what else in his life can give him true unconditional love?
