  Celebrities , Adulation , Lifestyle , is this for Jehovah`s Witnesses ? Isn`t it a form of Idolatory ?

  by smiddy in

  of course this thread is inspired by princes sad death , yet i wonder how the average j.w.

  nowadays.. from what i have gleaned from the many threads about his death their seems to be a reverence about him even on pro-j.w.

  sites.. i have been out for about 25 years , yet in my time in the "truth" anything that put you on a pedestal was a no , no.. competition in any form was discouraged , sports especially.

  How About We Call It "The Trance" Instead of "The Truth"

  by xjwsrock in

  let's see if it works as a replacement in common phrases:.

  "how long have you been in the trance?".

  "when did you come into the trance?".

  That works!

  It could also properly be called " The Guess" or "The Opinion".

  "we are saddened to hear about the death of prince rogers nelson, who was baptized as one of jehovah’s witnesses in 2003," the church said in a statement obtained by people.

  the church said that prince "found fulfillment as a witness and in sharing his faith with others.

  I wonder, if Prince gets a "witness" funeral, will it be the generic 'sales pitch' funeral talk or will the 'brother' be able to actually say something about the person instead of delivering the jw infomercial?

  Probably depends on how much $$$$ Prince left to the borg!

  True God would not seek praise nor worship from us

  by elbib in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when asked: “why there is so much of suffering here if god exists?” buddha responded with silence because he knew the following:.

  1) even though living in heaven, anyone can live as though he lives in hell and vice versa which means how a person thinks is the key.

  experience show that whatever a person does with 100% involvement (totality = beauty), it is like he lives in heaven.

  If god is 'almighty' and already know he is good and great, why would he need or want billions of others to constantly tell him so 3 or 4 times each day?

  Generation Nonsense in today's WT

  by Slidin Fast in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  abraham was part of the 9th generation as a descendent of shem.

  yet, their lives overlapped by 150 years.

  yep, they were of the same generation!

  This all sounds 'degenerating' to me!

  And I believe that the whole concept of "overlapping" originated when the majority of the gb looked down and noticed the "new (light)" relationship between at their belly and their belt.

  "Recent yearbooks show about 11000 to 12000 witnesses in Jamaica, so the writer must have made a mistake."

  Just like it takes $5 million Jamaican dollar to equal $370,000 "real dollars", so it takes 44,000 to 50,000 Jamaican dubs to equal 11,000 to 12,000 "real dubs".

  Or, maybe we just need to be "overlapping" the real numbers several times to get up to 50,000 dubs.

  In any case, it's so refreshing to hear the good news of the tremendous decrease 'from a distant land'!

  The danger of thinking we know everything.

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a thought occurred that there is a danger in thinking we know everything, or have it all figured out in life.

  especially when it comes to matters of doctrine or faith.. witnesses (or at least the society as a whole) are so self-confident, so proud to be the only ones who know "the truth" about everything to do with the universe, the earth, our past and our future, that pride kicks in.

  and pride is dangerous...(.and before a fall).

  The more I know, the more I realize how little the wt organization really knows spiritual things. What the early wt leaders, i.e. Russell and Rutherfraud, really knew was that religion was a good business. They taught their followers that they, and no one else had the 'troof' which made their followers very elite. The elite status of "knowing the troof" is very intoxicating. Sobering up and the 'hang over'--not so good!
