Why did it take 40 years to travel less then 400 miles to enter the
promise land. Most JW's don't realize how far they had to travel.
i made a thread on reddit regarding questions jw's can't answer.
was wondering what you guys can add to it..

some background:josie the miniature schnauzer is now 12 years old, so she's old enough to know the difference between right and wrong.
however, she insists on peeing in the middle of my beautifully tended lawn, which, as a consequence, is now covered in brown patches.
i've remonstrated with her a number of times and each time she purports to show a diplay of repentance, that is, she slinks away on her belly with her ears flattened down tightly to her head.
Deu.23:18 The hire of a whore or the price of a dog both
are a abomination to God. That's your problem.
i mean pretty much all parents lie to their children at some point about something and usually it was to protect them or just wasn't something important and it normally doesn't affect the relationship between them and their child.
but how does a person reconcile and recover their appreciation for their parents after finding out almost everything they taught them was an evil lie?
i don't mean going back to the same relationship as i know that is gone, especially if the parents are still deceived.
How do you correct the lie? That's the problem, now when I tell my JW kids
it was all a lie, trust me a big fat lie, they tell me I'm lying just like
my father, Satan. Sometimes it's very difficult to correct a lie.

Be careful your dog may be of the Anointed, you can't be a repeating offender
if you are living by your own rules. Have a long talk with the little fellow and
find out if he have some Apostate thinking, if so you are in deep trouble, you
must show him the door.
when you look at the society's literature, it is pretty comical to see how important they believed they were.
it seems to be not as bad under the new regime but they certainly believe they are a special people.
lol
Remember this one "We are a theatrical spectacle on the stage of
mankind". Oh really, what stage and who have any idea what the hell
this grand show is about.
to my generation: jehovah's witnesses of the vietnam war era .
if you were a young brother in the late 60's you then remember the burden of the draft and the prospect of going to jail for refusing on religious grounds to be called up.
in those days we were taught that to do community service was conscientiously the same as joining the military and so we were told to refuse such exemptions.
JeffT: Yes many of my friends avoided the service, moved to Canada, wet on themselves,
one guy performed self-gratification at the induction center, a lot
of crazy stuff.I went and served of course I wasn't a JW. Today I'm glad I served.
So the JW weren't the only ones that tried getting out the service.
When someone lies to you it is because they don't respect you enough
to be honest and they think you are to stupid to know the difference.

12-15-66: investigating house and household objectsone under demon attack should calmly, not in hysteria, investigate his house and household articles.
in some few cases the house may be the cause of trouble and the best thing to do is move out.
Demons only attack those who are fighting the fine fight of the faith,
so we don't have to worry about demon attacks. We are not worth
the effort, but 8 million JW's are constantly under attack, in their
beds,from toys, movies, food, people, books, you name it they are
under attack. And you wonder why they are so panic stricken.
Hell I would be a nervous wreck also if I still believe that BS.
to all brothers and sisters reading this site: "and i love you so" (remember the don mclean song?
)...is the feeling most of us had with regard to the watchtower and the brothers leading it.
but truly, who did we get baptized for?
And another thing, LOL. Other religions have been praising Jesus and
giving him his due, nothing new. Now all of a sudden a JC Convention about JC, well
it's about time. Please don't invite folks and tell them our convention will be
about JC this year, for the last 130 years we have been talking about the End is
around the corner..

Try closing a pray at the KH "In the name of my Savior Jesus Christ
and see what will happen. Your Savior is the GB....If you insist you
will be DF before you can say I'm sorry.. You pray to Jehovah and the GB...
