  Are you religious or are you spiritual? Wake up to what?

  by Deltawave in

  there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.

  been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.

  however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

  I woke to the fact that for thousands of years people were being encouraged to be generally good to one another. Hamurabi's laws going way back before any ten commandments the Jews used ,prove this. I also realized what the Bible writers were trying to get across with thier teachings concerning and about Jesus and now I live a more Christian life then any JW I know.

  Governing Body Needs To Fight For Social JusticeCalifornia’s low-wage workers now earn less than in 1979

  jws with good jobs need to thank themselves for not quitting their job because the trend is things are going to get worse as wages drop and inflation eventually moves upward.

  the housing market shows this mess happening right before our very eyes, think about the rental markets, their really tight because people don't have money to buy houses and they don't have the down-payment.

  many have fear their investment won't grow like they did prior to the 2008 meltdown years, their lack of conviction is driving rental prices higher.

  This is more proof of how allowing illegal aliens in to the country can kill it's over all wealth. Of course this is only one of many factors.

  New arrangement from C.O.

  i think most on here will be familiar with the caller hook up system that many congregations use.

  visit about 2 months ago.

  during our servant and elders meeting he was talking up the importance of meeting attendance and how we "gods spirit appointed men" must take the lead on making every meeting.

  I thought I read somewhere on this forum that the term Jehovah's Witnesses wasn't even originally a Russell or Rutherford term and that another Christian writer made up the phrase.

He was also the one that called a JC on me when he said I was trying to teach him something. Anyway found out last week that his oldest child which recently moved out on their own has now moved in with her worldly boy friend. Oh snap! lol

  Everything seems to be changing... why not birthdays?

  by StarTrekAngel in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if we look at all doctrines, we see an overall effort to conserve unity and control.

  - assuming most birthdays, if allowed, would probably be oriented to children, then that means 40 celebrations per year.

  so all in all, this give a total potential attendance to a birthday of 30 families (120 attendance / 4 family members).

  Your reasons are good, I would also add that by not celebrating holidays the JWs become separated from their worldly family members and this is by design. If one is not associating with worldly family members then they are reduced to hanging out with only members in the congregation. This is what cults do they segregate their members to only be with their own.

  I hate to say it but your 30 and in the JW world that's way to old since most JW's get married before their 20 at least in north America. If you live in this area you should consider opening up your options to Christians of other sects not just only JW's . You also may find better people and a better match by looking out side JW's.

  He Jesus said something about just giving one of his followers a little help and that one would inherit the kingdom. James talks about charity and the woman Dorcas in Acts was also described as a good person doing charity. One other thing to note Jesus was never quoted as saying "when I return those I see going to empty door after empty door and exalting themselves at a church while answering a third grade level questions, I will surely make them my people"

  Types, anti-types, starting fresh?

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you think these changes are being made so they can start teaching the r&f a new set of doctrines?

  or is this just a fly in the ointment just to continue to confuses the masses so they don't know what the hell to think anymore?.

  and if you think its so they can teach new doctrines, do you think their going to go more main stream?.

  I think what they are doing Is that exactly. The Catholic Church never got into details much and this religion is going to make it real simple just have a few doctrines that are a bit different and that's it. This way people can't blow up thier teachings as easily and maybe they can keep the young ones in since that's thier only real hope of surviving.
