Hi Everyone!

i just wanted to stop in and spread the good news.

you will find it in 1 corinthians 15.1-11, written under inspiration of the holy spirit and not the spirits directed (by alcoholic spirits) of the watchtower.

my wife and i just recently da'd and we forced their hand since they were avoiding us entirely, despite three years of inactivity, with no 'shepherding call' at all.

Is the basis for the "true religion" ...

i am not and have never been a jw.

however, i have spent the last two years meeting with them and studying with them.

not to worry, from practically my first day of research (independent thinking) i discovered what i am convinced is a very clear example of false religion.

Jobs that the WTS doesn't approve of

by freedom96 in

there were several different careers that the wts did not aprove of.

such as a being a cop, for having a gun.

couldn't be a martial arts instructor.. maybe it was a well paying career.. did you have a job that was not approved of?

kelpie

There are plenty of cotors that are witnesses and elders of ms's for that fact.

there is also plentiful lawyers among them.

What would they think about opening up an X rated stored????

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard. My kids see flowers for Mom and blowing white fluff you can wish on.

When I look at an old drunk and he smiles at me, I see a smelly, dirty person who probably wants money and I look away. My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back.

When I hear music I love, I know I can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm so I sit self-consciously and listen. My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words. If they don't know them, they make up their own.

When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it. I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk.

My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it, until they fall to the ground laughing.

When I pray, I say thee and thou and grant me this, give me that. My kids say, "Hi God! Thanks for my toys and my friends. Please keep the bad dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven yet. I would miss my Mommy and Daddy."

When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in it. They see dams to build, rivers to cross, and worms to play with. I wonder if we are given kids to teach or to learn from? No wonder God loves the little children!

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. I wish you Big Mud Puddles and Sunny Yellow Dandelions!!!

Lifes a journey, enjoy the ride.
