  Ok, so how can one be appointed an Elder with a unbelieving mate? I knew a brother that

  was appointed a elder and his wife was a very faithful church member.

  Not meeting with the elders will not make a difference, they can still DF you.

  whats so bad about believing people go to heaven?

  by sowhatnow in

  it occurred to me today, that so often, my mother will make the comment that .

  "those false religions teach that everyone is going to heaven when they die, oh sure, .

  all you have to do is be a good person, and off you go to heaven.

  "Inhabited by righteous people". Put a designer label on some clothes, and million of people

  will pay insane prices for them. It's all in the name. Group identities are no different. Embracing

  them makes you feel special. Out of all the possible forms of group identity, none are as strong as religion.

  JW's are at the top of the list, we will live forever but you folks will be toasted. We are special and we

  have special knowledge, heaven would suck for those who are not called. JW view of heaven is

  not that appealing.

  $10 per pub. Money begging session last night

  by StarTrekAngel in

  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.

  Bonnie your comment brings to mind something that was mention in the past few days,

  Wounded Warrior project. The money received from donation for the purpose in aiding these

  heroic veterans is under investigation. Greed steps in..

  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.

  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

  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
