  you know,

  the frist thing you need to know is the saints or as you might call them the "annointed" are ALIVE in heven.not like a dead anything. you say thay are worshiped then you give no evidence of worship only the asking of favors. i ask my live relatives to help me why can't i ask my live sants too?

  but it is obvious that many Catholics do venerate those types of images.

  wrong maby you need to read the catechism. venerate or worship?

  At times when disasters strike Catholics have been known to pray to certain saints for protection or to kiss or clutch a cross in hopes of evoking some magical blessing from above.

  lol like i said asking is not worshiping.

  "blessing from above" only you could make those 3 words sound like a negative. maby you never recieved a blessing from above

  patio34, your first Al-Anon meeting. your bigest step to understanding. as far as the Catholic Church, you will find that the WTB&TS inc. never ever told you the truth about them. every thing you think you know about them you will find to have been half truths or lies.

  IF WE LIVE ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD, WE RECEIVE JEHOVAH'S HOLY SPIRIT."

  i think what thay are trying to say is "if you as a WT slave, you will be in good standing."

  my daughter was babtised at the houston disrtict assembly over the weekend so i was more or less forced to make that one day attendace.. there was a pioneer sister who was explaining how she was getting so many japanese and phillopino bible studys.. she said that her and her husband took some foreign language classes so they could at least communicate with these people a little.. here is what they do; they find these ones that speak very little english and they tell them they are going to help them to speak english by studying the bible with them.. that really blew me away when i heard that.. should it have?

  Free literature?

  by Andyman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't been over here for a long time, looks pretty busy.. i am in a discussion on another board about the "donation" arrangement.

  the jw's claim "all" literature is free, and nobody id pressured into "donating" for what they take from the hall.. now in my old congregation that wasn't so.

  we were reminded all the time about "donations" and making sure we asked for donations in the field service.

  what kind of conmen would give free stuff to the mark? you take, take, take then when thay are dry you cut them loos and keep them from talking to the other marks about it.

  did any one ever get from the WTB&TS inc. or any of it's other companies?

  Gleaning at Bethel

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  want to see bethelites act like greedy scavengers?

  just check out the tail end of bethel family breakfast, lunch or dinners.

  for those not familar with this phenomenon, gleaning was when bethelites could basically bring their tupperware dishes down and store up on the leftover meals once the family was dismissed (usually by prayer, except for the bethel dinner).

  "AND AS FOR YOU STUPID ONES..."

  by You Know in

  "as for you stupid ones, when will you have any insight?

  " is a question jehovah asks of you.

  the question is part of the 94th psalm, and is directed toward those who imagine that jehovah doesn't see or understand what is happening.

  Hello apostate YOU KNOW, you must now go off line and not return to the net for the fest of your life, good jw you are.

  Yes, of course there is wrongdoing. Jesus said as much

  Jesus never talked about you or the WTB&TS inc. in any way. just sell your miracle wheat or maby, maby you could think, stay online and give up all that hate.

  that paragraph beginning with 24:9 tells us that presecution if the result of christian confession, of the good news. 14:13-14 persecution does not preclude mission

  LATEST INSTALLMENT OF APOSTATE "DOOM"...

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as the last days wind down to their dramatic conclusion, prophecies that were heretofore obscure, over time have now come more sharply into focus.

  one such prophecy that bears review is the oft-quoted verse concerning the "increasing of lawlessness.

  " typically the watchtower has pointed to increasing criminal lawlessness in the world as evidence of the fulfillment of that particular feature of the sign of christ's imminent arrival.
