last night, during our "christian life and ministry" meeting, we had a session on local needs.
elder opened the talk with a disclaimer saying that this was a reminder (cited psalms about how david loved jehovahs reminders).
he reminded us of how bless we are of having our own local assembly hall.
John 2:15 "stop making my father's house a place of business". These people are covering
every aspect of what a religion is not to be according to the Bible. They have no shame, they
know the flock will eat it up as the word of GOD. We should feel sorry for the GB they
are suffering from a Messiah complex, they no not what they say.
speaking with inlaws i another congregation today who said exactly what is being said in our own hall.
the trolly work is long and boring and no one even notices they are there anymore but walk right on by.
jehovah really is speeding up the work lol.
It's so funny, when the wife see those carts she takes a picture and show it to me when
she get home. In every snap the all look the same, bored out of their mind. She takes the
pictures to see if I recognize any one, hell it's been over 29 years since I was a JW. LOL
it never hit me until i was out.
matt:23;4 "they tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them.
on other people shoulders".
A good friend, a minister. We were talking one day about one of the member in the church,
the guy had a drug problem. I ask the minister do you think it's a good idea that he sing in
the church chorus? I still had some of that JW baggage.
He told me that why we are here to o help others. What do you think would have happen if
that had taken place in JW land. That open my eyes
so, a few years ago my jw parents, my non jw sister and her husband, and myself were discussing religion and jw beliefs.
my parents of course defending the jw's, the rest of us, against jw's ( it may not have been specifically against jw's, maybe just religion in general) anyway, things are getting a little heated, and i finally ask my pops, if the watchtower bible and tract society told you to go out and start killing muslims, would you do it?
yes i would, was his reply, to which i say, then your not any different than the radical muslims killing in the name of religion.
I know some JW would be happy to go out and kill and sleep great at night.
Face it these people are living on the edge. If you can convince people to go against their
natural human emotions, hell yes. I hope if they do we are not on the hit list.
we were right down with the very lowest.. father never a jw we had a po with little mans syndrome and love to pick on sisters that had no husband to stand up for them,he picked on my mother only to find out he picked on the wrong person,she came from a hard up bringing and didn't take any s###t from anyone particularly this little bully and we were very poor...how low can you get!.
karter..
I realized how to get to the top real fast, missionary. And oh boy was I disappointed
when I got there. The bullying never stop. My first elder meeting at the assembly,
you knew who was in charge. That elder that picked on your mother a jerk, I knew a few.
it never hit me until i was out.
matt:23;4 "they tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them.

The next time when I talk to JW at my door I will ask them who do you
believe the Bible is speaking about.

clambake: "The same can be said for a Muslim becoming a christian", here again what
would a JW think?

It's strange, Christendom's clergy put no cumbersome loads on it's members, maybe
give more money. All they request, be there on Sunday and put in the collection plate.
What do you think would happen if the minister sermon was on "Christian conduct in the
bed room", He would be preaching to a lot of empty pews come the following Sunday.When
you think about it we received different sources. Where does their message come from,
from their own creativity that's why we had new light every few years.
I could kick myself...
