  How to believe you deserve to relax

  by rebel8 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was brainwashed to believe you generally shouldn't relax much.. demons can enter you if you meditate or even relax your brain too much for one second.

  always be on guard.. scriptures criticizing laziness were repeated often.

  https://www.openbible.info/topics/laziness "be kind to yourself" and all that.. you need to strenuously exert yourself for jehoopla and you're worthless if you don't.. most forms of fun were extinguished.

  Since I began learning TTATT I have begun to relax more and more. I found out that the end is not just around the corner, so why rush around. I love to wake up in the morning or sometimes the afternoon and just go and get my hot cup of coffee and then prop myself up in the bed again and sip coffee reading posts like this. I do that for "a while", don't keep track of how long and don't care. Then, when I finally get out of bed I start my day, stress free. I love it, I just love it.. Now, not everyday can I do that, but when I can, I take full advantage of it.

  Feb. 2017 "Who is Leading God's People Today?"

  by Saethydd in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i know that i am not by any means the first person to take note of this article, but today i finally got around to reading it.

  i quickly found the now infamous line "the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

  " in the interest of fairness, however, i decided to finish the paragraph, which led me to finish the lesson.

  You make some very valid points. I wish the average JW could hear them, but they won't. They will just cover their ears and run.

  a circuit overseer friend of mine serving in latin america called me today to say hi.

  i asked him what's new and he dropped the news that they have received notification that the branch in mexico will be closing!!

  this branch also called the central american branch (although located in mexico) oversees all of mexico's 800,000+ publishers plus all 7 countries of central america of over 100,000 publishers.

  LITS - sorry you had to go all of that. I bet you're much happier now.

  Balaamsass2 - sounds like the org maybe politically motivated to sell the branch in Mexico. Interesting...

  If you think back even 15 years ago, never would we hear of such a thing. Hopefully this is a beginning of something good for those who are out or are desiring to be out. Good to hear.

  Whats going on with the 144000 thing? Spiritual people in the org...

  by megaboy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  kind of a two fold question, use to have discussions with witnesses about the 144000 and how i didnt agree with it being spiritual because tribes are defined, also mentioned that early on in revelations that a measurement was given for gentiles and i explained that i belived that that was basically foundating that the prophecies proceeding would have nothing to do with gentiles as in they are not measured in these concerns.

  never did get any decent reasoning from them on that.. but i haven't heard about that doctrine in a while or online.

  granted there are a lot more messed up stuff they teach but these things gave me the impression that it would effect the org if anyone could claim to be of the 144000. are these people suppose to be spiritual?

  No, I think it IS setting off alarms for people, they just aren't saying anything. Well, there have been a few posts on here that mention some people saying how they really feel about the broadcasts, and these are hard core JW's too, usually the old timers. But for the most part people just aren't saying anything, but they are aware of things.

  I think people are waking up more and more. We'll see.
