according to the scriptures, jehovah makes his sun rise upon wicked people and good and makes it rain upon righteous people and unrighteous.
- matthew 5:45. in that case, if we look at the account in genesis, god is shown to give pharaoh a dream that he will cause seven years of famine.. genesis 41: pharaohs dreams.
25 then joseph said to pharaoh, the dreams of pharaoh are one and the same.
Who controlled the weather in Job 1:16, 18, 19. Hell, fire came form heaven and
burned the man sheep and his servants, and then a wind storm that kill his kids.
So did Jehovah allow this or did he sit down with Satan and agreed that's a good plan,
go for it. Either way it was a sick idea.
i went to the kh a couple of weeks ago.
for a funeral.
i haven't been in a kh, except for funerals, for several years.
The last funeral I went too (family member) I was love bombed by JW
family members that I didn't know (been out for years). I could feel JW family
members staring at me doing the funeral. The young ones who I have never met
asking their parents, is that uncle James. One of my die heart nephew introduced me
to his wife. But I believe this was all a show for my none JW family members, but it was weird.
I'm a oddity among my JW family members, I hope one day they will come to me and
ask, what's my problem.
i had one two weeks ago, i'm fine.
but how nice it was not to lift anything over.
10 pounds.
I had one two weeks ago, I'm fine. But how nice it was not to lift anything over
10 pounds. Wife, dear can you take out the trash? No remember what the Dr said,
nothing over 10 pounds. Dear wife can you bring my dinner, those potatoes must weigh
over sixteen ounces. Two weeks of leisure, love it.
So men if you need two weeks of doing nothing, get that hernia surgery.
i haven't been to a meeting in 15 years but my mother and sister are hard as j.w's.
the brothers they are appointing elders are at best suspect like one guy from my old hall made elder,big time drug used before becoming a j.w his talks are all over the place and would have struggled to make m,s years ago but with at least 60 to 70 % of young ones leaving the pool to pick from is at best reduced.. 2 other recent elders both young and zero life experience both on benefits one not well at all falls asleep all the time.. the decent,kind elders mostly older and are decent people with alot of life experience are burning out fast as there are so few of them left like 3 per congro of 100 publishers.. then you have the rich elders who wouldn't ever think of inviting some poor older or mis-fit person out to the expensive placers they go to as they couldn't afford to go so they are above the r&f and the r&f get pissed off with them.
then we have the ones who have "put the kingdom 1st" who are now old worn out and barely getting by from welfare cheque to welfare cheque that are saying "the system should have been over many years ago" it's still here and they are struggling everyday.. then there are the pioneers who have a low payed reduced hour job that seem to think anyone who has anything is totally materialistic and looks down on anyone getting a new car buying a house ect.. along with the child abuse issues,the generation change,access to information the the g.b don't want anyone to know ,not to mention the issues around blood.. is there a tipping point coming????
If a mass exodus take place I would become a believer again, I be damn there
is a GOD.
my daughter's friend from university had jws call on her this morning.
they started off by asking her if she knew any witnesses.
then they said you may have heard things about us but it's not the way it sounds!.
Please believe me we are good people, it's Satan who is trying to bring us down.
That should go over great with the householder.
last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.
he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.
then out of the blue he tells me; .
The only way my JW family member would wake up Jesus himself
would have to come down and tell them, you folks are in a cult.
That would not be enough for some, they would think it's Satan trying
to mislead them.

That's funny, "You may have heard things about us".
A guy comes home early in the morning from hanging out with his
friends. He tell the wife, before you hear it from your friends let
me explain what happen last night. That will get her attention, LOL.
If I didn't know anything about JW that would get my interest, not
a smart open line.

My ex told the kids, I have the hope to be resurrected in paradise, nothing
about the end coming soon.
why such a difference between jew and gentiles, so that the jew is at once.
recognized, no matter what race he lives among.. and how did the jews come to have such strange traditions setting apart, racially.
and religiously from gentiles???.
