  11-15 WT- Drinking before meetings

  by Absalom in

  to be holy, we must weigh the scriptures carefully and do what god asks of us.

  consider aarons sons nadab and abihu, who were executed for offering unauthorized fire, perhaps while inebriated.

  So I was 23 and about to give my first complete talk (as ministerial servant) in my home congregation on saturday evening. That morning I went into the field service and did a return visit: two middle aged Russian men. We talked about the Bible, about Russia. And hey... I HAD TO try their Vodka! They really insisted. So I agreed to take one. But after that the glass was filled again. So in the end I had about 3 of 4 glasses of real good Vodka.

  The talk in the evening went great (for a 23 year old).

  Farkel is a liar and a cheat!

  i have absolutely had it with farkel's lies and (try new kiddy bathroom bubbles only $3.95 per bottle) his childish attempts to discredit those who still believe in god.

  he is relentless in his (now the one pound tub of the famous amway laundry detergent only 19.95) efforts to shove atheism down our throats.

  i personally am offended by (new amway energy bars in four tasty flavors, box of 12 only $6.95) his blatantly cynical attitude and slamming dialog.. i think his account should be (summers coming, try amway car wax and make your old car look new)!

  God Says Scripture is Enough

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from the 2013 new world translation 2 tim.

  all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, so that the man of god may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.. .

  as jw's we must have read that scripture a thousand times.

  So, if reading the Bible without explaination is enough, why are you guys trying to explain the Bible? You are basically telling that your interpretation is better than others. That's make you equal to The Borg.

  I was baptized for more than 20 years and Jehovah gave me all kind of blessings I didn't ask for.
  But he never answered my prayers. Weird, huh?

  I recently saw this Congolese word (in relation with Suarez biting an opponent for the 3th time):

  ilunga - a person who is ready to forgive and forget any abuse for the first time, tolerate it the second time, but never on the third offense

  Scripture? The GB has spoken!

  The reasoning in the article is that sincere people get baptized and God only hears sincere prayers. So only God only hears prayers of baptized people. Illustrated as: "Human kings do not allow just anyone to enter into the royal palace unannounced. An audience with a king is a restricted privilege. So is prayer to the King of eternity."

  Ow, my ex went mad when she discovered this. We had tell our Bible studies sort or less that their prayers would not be heard. To me it was an eye opener.

  Bye bye birdie:

  the baptism talk was insulting to anyone not baptized. Brother Mangnusun said, "now that you are baptized your prayers are more readily heard by Jehovah. Let me illustrate, a man loves children but certainly a father loves and protects his own children ahead of any others. So your prayers are especially heard."

  So unless you are baptized you are a red headed step child and prayers go to voice mail.

  Didn't you know that?

  *** w90 5/15 p. 12 par. 11 Fear Jehovah, the Hearer of Prayer ***
  Only baptized believers have an unrestricted privilege of approaching the King Eternal in prayer.
