  To those desiring to be of the anointed..

  by kes152 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the invitation to be of the anointed is offered to anyone, for the scripture says, "many are called, but few are chosen" (matthew 22:14).. the call is to anyone who wishes to be of the anointed and many respond to the heavenly calling.

  but upon finding out what is needed and what is done, only few are the ones who choose to keep the anointing and remain in it.

  others do not want to give up their 'possessions' and 'return to the things behind' (luke 18:22, 23; john 6:66).

  To integ,

  If you truly believe you are of the anointed, then you have a responsibility to the household of God, yes?

  NO.

  Stacy,

  I was recently contacted by an elder who wants to meet with just me. I plan to meet with him.

  Are'nt they not supposed to meet with a female one on one? Maybe he's looking for some action. I'd watch out.

  JEHOVAH

  by minimus in

  2. bible

  we all know that we do not know the correct pronunciation of the name of god.

  over 6000 times, the tetragrammaton is mentioned in the ot.

  yet for some reason, most bibles do not use the name jehovah or yahweh but a few times.

  Oh....you should rent "Night of the Iguana" starring Richard Burton. It"s in black and white but it kind of gives you a taste of Puerto Vallarta scene.

  You can do it two ways in PV. Sit on the beach and meditate (it's a mystical place with powerful m-field vibes) or get drunk off your keyster and dance and have fun and eat like pigs. Either way, it's good stuff.

  Do you think the governing body sincerely believe what they teach?

  by AJN in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i haven't had a chance to read crisis of conscience yet, it's a 2 month wait here unfortunately for delivery and i feel it will probably answer some of my questions regarding the gb but it occurs to me - i wonder if they *really* believe what they teach, if they *really* believe it's the truth or are they really manipulating money makers operating a dysfunctional mlm scheme that ruins people's lives.

  or perhaps somewhere in the middle lol.. oh yeah, and if anyone knows how the 'new light' is supposedly delivered i'd love to hear about it.. what do you think?

  if anyone has read coc and has any quotes that might be useful please post :)

  "Worldly" Celebrations

  by Coop Man in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  nowhere in the bible is it stated to celebrate your wedding anniversary, yet j.w.

  baby showers are acceptable, but not birthdays.. correct me if i am incorrect, but doesn't the bible say to "honor the father and mother of your youth", yet mothers day and fathers day are unacceptable to celebrate.

  RIGHT ON!

  But I have also found that if you dig deep enough you can find pagan origins for almost everything including baptism.

  Whatta bunch a dicks.

  Where does it state in the bible when/if the government will turn on jws.

  by Frantic in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  my jw friend informs me, the un will turn on all religion (the jws first).

  does this have truth to it, or is it all speculation and hearsay?

  i say this because he believes the government will turn on all organised religion sooner rather than later.. .

  I alway's wondered why God/Jehovah, whatever, would make it so damn difficult for us to figure out his message and leave so much to interpretation, and then judge us based on our reaction to someone else's interpretations. I wondered; "Is this just some evil game He is taking a sadistic thrill out of playing with us?" I now realize He does'nt care. He just wants us to love everybody and do good. How could a loving God judge us on our response to a couple of half-retarded, self righteous, bag toters' message of doom. If this is the way God really is, then I want OUT.
