  As a JW or Christian did you have a hard time explaining why God hasn't appeared in almost 2000 years?

  for the sake of less argument whether you're a believer or non-believer lets just for the moment say we can.

  take the bible as it is in current form at face value.. i'm just going to cite a few examples of bible stories of god appearing and if we had been alive back then it.

  shoulda been proof to all of his existence.. 1) leading the israelites out of egypt as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire at night.. 2) the waters of the sea miracously parting and allowing the israelites to go thru on dry land.

  I never thought about it when I was a JW, only now I think about it, especially when little girls bodies are found in suitcases too often. I mean, really, God didn't leave the Isrealites alone for more than just a few centuries. Isn't 20 centuries much too long to be waiting on God to fix things? How much suffering can humans take?

  How is the WTS preparing for the new system?

  Aside from the food and water miracles in the OT (ok, throw in a resurrection or two), Jehovah may have given instructions here and there, but the work among His people was done manually, like the construction of the temple, the ark, etc. It is naïve to think that those who participated in such constructions were men of no skills whatsoever.

  I am a woman of faith. I know wholeheartedly that God CAN make miracles. However, He gave us this planet. This is our gift from God, our miracle. He expects us to work it. If people want comfort, (electricity, running water, communication systems) then people should accommodate such comfort without damaging the environment. But that requires a great deal of studying. After Armageddon, it will be time to put knowledge into practice. There won’t be any time to study, nor will it be any place to acquire knowledge from.

  Hello all,

  If anyone has any knowledge regarding this, please tell me. However, I do wish that someone in the Watchtower is reading this and think about it for a moment.

  How is the Watchtower preparing for the new system? I mean, since they say that is around the corner, and that the destruction in Armageddon will be so devastating, surely they do not expect to have a functioning community after it. How then, are they getting ready to live after Armageddon? Do they have a substantial number of civil engineers, architects, scientists, agronomists, pilots, etc.? How about sufficient natural resources to run cars and airplanes, which will be essential to transport supplies? Maybe they are counting of Jehovah to send food like He did with the Israelites.

  Does anyone know if the WTS is making arrangements to have a smooth transition after Armageddon into the “new system”?

  If the WTS only changed the type of announcement, like saying so and so is no long a JW, but still require that the r & f shun these individuals, then, the end result for the people on both sides is the same. Only the WTS might benefit from this. Gosh! They are prime evil!

  Hello all,

  I'm sorry if I missed a discussion regarding this subject.

  My mother-in-law is a JW (not a fanatic). She goes to the meetings every now and then; she occasionally goes out preaching. She has a balanced view of her priorities when

  it comes to following the WTS. Good for her.

  Ok, my husband told me yesterday that according to his mother, the WTS will not disfellowship anymore. Is this true? I'm not sure that my mother-in-law really pays attention when she goes to the meetings. That's why I would like to hear from someone who is sure about this, and if at all possible, I want details, mainly the whys according to the WTS, and they whys (real reasons) according to ex-JWs.

  I'm just dying to know the gossip.

  If You Could & Still Attended, What Suggestions Would You Give The Elders?

  I would tell them that I, nor anyone in the congragation, have to listen to them because they do NOT have the Holly spirit. The Holly spirit compels the individual it chooses to speak up spontaneously; without consulting with anyone or anything. But since they ALWAYS consult with WTS literature and that stupid elder's manual everytime someone comes up to them with an inquiry, it could only mean one thing: elders do NOT have the Holly spirit.

  Questioned By The Elders. Lawsuit?

  by Hangin_on in

  2. experiences

  i was dfed for 3 years and could not get back in for the life of me.

  (long story one elder from my committee even held onto my letter and didnt give it to the other elders for 6 weeks) my current wife who i was dfed for back in the day (a few years ago) found out that i was text messaging and calling one of her friends (another sister in the hall) and she is very upset.

  instead of handling it like a family she "eldered up" and i got pulled into the back room with 2 elders.

  Though it's true that texting to someone of the opposite sex would make any spouse upset (whether man or woman), it's even more upsetting that a spouse would rush to a bunch of strangers to fix any marriage troubles. Your wife shouldn't have gone to the elders. To whom would she have gone if she was not a JW? No one. She would have had to work it out on her own; and if things got too hard for her to fix with you, then perhaps secular marriage counseling would have done the trick. But noooo! She HAD to go to "big daddy" elders who would give you a good whipping.

  If you remain in the borg., unfortunately, you would have to pay the price. There's no such thing as privacy, tolerance, confidentiality in this cult. You and ANY of your family members. including your child, will suffer sooner or later by this disgusting organization.

  I know that the WTS had no trouble what-so-ever to support Jimmy Swagger by writing to the courts on his behalf when he was being forced to pay sale taxes. Now I wonder if the WTS would also write to the Connecticut courts in support of the Catholic Church. I imagine how frightening this must be to the WTS. They must think that if the government has the balls to mess with the Catholic Church, then the WTS has no chance to keep their empire of wealth undisclosed and unregulated.

  I think the WTS will also support Babylon. They would sell their soul to make sure that no one comes after “their” money.

  Sad emo,

  I am only a little familiar with all this because I read a book by a former Muslin woman who lived in Egypt for 30 years ("Cruel And Usual Punishment").

  Anyways, you seem to know more. I really don't know if what this woman quotes in her book are out of context. But I do know that some (really a small group) of the Muslims living in the USA want to establish Sharia law in the USA. I also know that many Muslims are speaking out against it.

  If Sharia becomes law in the US, then secular courts will be meaningless. In that case, the U.S. would also have to allow JW judicial meetings to decide whether one is guilty or not, and this decision would be final, (and we know how "just" this meetings are). No. This would strip many people of their God given human rights.
