  i have been df'd twice, this time for over 6 months.

  an elder called me the other day and wanted to know if i'm renting my house or buying it.

  also, he wanted to know who keeps my children while i work.

  It IS like he was questioning your ability to care for your children properly. time to dummy up, you may be fealing there love soon. you might like to look into JW's and custody cases.

  Any thoughts on this quote from the Bible?

  by siegswife in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  in luke 13:20,21 it says: "and again he said: 'with what shall i compare the kingdom of god?

  it is like leaven, which a woman took and his in three large measures of flour until the whole mass was fermented.".

  i've been thinking about this.

  luke 31.18-21
  i think it is a mistake to take too small a quote out of the bible so i'll talk about both parables if i may.

  two parables used to illustrate the future proportions of the kingdom of god that will result from its deceptively small beginning in the preaching and healing ministry of jesus. you can find hem paralleled in Mt 13.31-33 and Mk 4.30-32

  these are parables of remarkable growth conveying the living, dynamic sense of the "kingdom of god" fulfilling promises
  like Dan 4.10-12 Ezek 17. 22-24; 31.2-9

  hi birdie,
  looks like some people don't think you are who you say you are. i must admit i thought the same thing, but decided to respond to you as you presented yourself. if you are a kid you need kindness if your not a kid you need kindness too. so what is the difference.
  a lot of girls and women think thay can "change" or "help" there boyfrends. well thay can't change them, at best some can help there boyfrends but at a price to them. i think the posters that ate advising you stay with your frend and "help him" are looking at the benefits to your frend ignoring what it could do to you. you are not his savior. you don't owe him. take care of your self. life is confusing enough as it is without taking on the job of junior exit counselor. trying to help someone else to find himself can get you lost if you are not well crounded and stable. being a frend is one thing, seting out to save a lost sole is somthing very different.
  pray for him, care for him, but don't get wrapped up in his problems.

  little_red_birdie hi,
  i'm sure your frend is a great kid but he is involved in a very dangerous cult. at your age in life it might be best for you to move on to boyfriend nuber two and leave the WT and your boyfriend behind you. i wish i could say somthing else. somthing like it'll be OK just geve it time, or you can help him. but i can't, you are in a difficult position for adults to handle, for a young person entering there teen years it is too much. i'm sorry and wish you and yours well.

  hi Victor,
  well said, i get a sense of peace and understanding from your thinking, it sounds like your in a good place now.

  If we view ourselves through the eyes of JWs we can easily understand how JWs are victims themselves unable to freely and objectively treat us any other way other than what the Tower has mandated to them.

  
  i think, the towers mandate has a profound effect on not only how we are treated but how JWs treat there kids and wives. When I hear how JW must bare sole responsibility for there actions. i can't help but think the tower is only a sand castle disappearing beneath the waves when the water of responsibility gets to high only to be built up again when the tide of consequence withdraws

  Help me out here, I'm having an argument

  by ballistic in

  what i'm debating is this.... and creationist probably wont be able to help.

  reproduction is the driving forve of evolution, so why does evolution not simply favour the genes of those that reproduce the most...i.e.

  not the most fit, intelligent, etc.. and if this is the case, why does the world not fill up with rampant nyphomaniacs?

  NT Only for the 144,000?

  by ItsJustMe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is the lightbulb that just clicked over my head correct?

  does the society teach that the entire new testament is written only to the 144,000?.

  as i have come to understand the WTs "truth" the NT is only for the 144,000. only thay need to "feed my sheep". only thay are commanded to teach the "good news". only thay will recieve the heavenly rewards through Jesus's grace. the rest of us can only live by the law and wate for the end time.
  if i may say, i think, the WT has made one class "christian" and left the other class "jews". but gave the "jew" class all the work of the "NT christian" class but none of the reward, and never grace.
