  Is my clinging on to a belief in a Creator doing me any harm?

  by KateWild in

  2. beliefs

  i use the word clinging, as i feel that is what i am doing.

  as far as my knowledge of science, namely chemistry is concerned, i am satisfied there is evidence of a creator.

  i am happy to believe this.

  KH cleaning and maintenance will be FS time. Any work at new KH construction sites will be FS time. Preparing "canned" comments for the meetings will be FS time. Rehearsing presentations at home will be FS time. "Necessary" coffee stops will be FS time.

  I guess that the 22 brothers and sisters in the Phillipines that died BECAUSE THEY WERE IN A KH during the huge typhoon don't count. WTF were they doing at a meeting when there was a catagory 8 storm bering down on them. No protection at all by being at the KH. The KH was right in the path of the typhoon. Oh well "Listen, Obey, and be Drown"

  Hey the Memorial is the closest thing to ritual that JW's have so they need to be be present as "respectful observers". When Jesus said "keep doing THIS" how many "respectful observers" was he talking too? Yep you got it.

  Isn't this account in Judges just a rerun of the Genesis account of when the 2 angels visited Lot? In Genesis Lot offered his daughters to the sex crazed crowd. In Genesis the wife became a pillar of salt, in Judges the concubine becomes chopped liver. Same story , different characters, same gory ending.

  Change of mindset.

  by thedog1 in

  2. friends

  i have been a witness for a long time and still serve as an elder.

  there have been a lot of changes to deal with in the last six months or so since i stumbled on this site due to questions i had about all the recent changes in understanding published in the wt.

  many posters here talk about a cult personality and a real personality.

  I was still serving as an elder when I had my awakening! For years I used the 'position' to bring reasonableness to the BOE on matters of df'ing and other things. I finally could no longer give talks and meeting parts that espoused the view of the WTBTS/GB and resigned. The body was shocked and disappointed since I was a long standing elder /jw. God did it feel good to rid myself of the hipocracy and bs. Life now seems real. It was not easy but then is anything worthwhile ever easy?

  In dubland, one can be df'ed for smoking which is not mentioned in the bible, df'ed for taking a blood transfusion--which is not mentioned in the bible but not df'ed for marrying an unbeliever which is specifically mentioned in the bible as a n- no for christians. Go figure! LOL

  so we have heard of an earthquake today, and possible tsunami...and immediately i am told.

  " well we must be close".

  According to the WTBTS, big J has been resting from all his creation work for the past 6 or 7 thousand years. He'll fix all the earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, etc. problems just as soon as 'break time' is over. Soooooooooooooooon!
