  Who did you believe the scriptures were describing when you were a JW?

  by James Mixon in

  2. bible

  it never hit me until i was out.

  matt:23;4 "they tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them.

  on other people shoulders".

  What were those heavy burdens?

  They were numerous, expensive, requiring much time, much property and free labor.

  The Pharisees were rigid in requiring that all the people should pay the taxes, give

  of their property, comply with every part of the law with the utmost rigor, yet they

  indulged themselves and bore as little of the expense and trouble as possible,

  so that, where they could avoid it, they would not lend the least aid to the

  people in the toils and expense of their religious rites.

  Will the real Pharisee of today stand up please.

  Why Christians cannot be possessed.

  by James Mixon in

  2. bible

  demons cannot occupy the same place as the holy spirit, satan knows this, and that is why.

  he tries so hard to get to people first and his demons or demonic influence control or affect.

  that person.. i cannot believe this in still being taught today.

  sparrowdown: "demon experience" are JWs.. The same here, besides the movies.

  One good thing about those demons, without them we would have missed out of a lot

  great movies.

  Proof of Jehovah's fast moving chariot!

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at the meeting sunday, the brother giving the "public talk" (no one from the public is ever there) was talking about how the organization is moving so fast.

  as proof of this he held up the new field service time slip.

  yep, that was plenty of proof for me, a smaller time slip to guilt the congregation to use their tablets in service to show video's.

  My brother told my sister, great things are happening. The young people are having a great times,

  the organization is on the move. I wonder is this a last ditch attempt to put a positive spin

  on the organization. Maybe a letter was sent to the elders, " We are in deep sh---t..."

  I cannot believe this in still being taught today. So they can not be in the same place but they

  can do the nasty with earthly women.

  I'am sorry, I try to believe but it's very difficult.

  Kinda Sad Re: Cart "Witnessing"

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  slightly redacted for privacy of those involved.. so, this is "park witnessing" in oklahoma.. the parks in this community are basically walking trails and some tatty playground equipment.

  most of the time, sparsely used, and today was a very blustery day.. notice the justifying comment- "quite a few" checking out the cart.

  i am sure they were..... .

  Do they realize how silly they look. Oh yes, that's a religion I would love to join.

  Have there been one assembly part on how great the cart work is doing.

  You know something like, I was working the cart work and a guy had just mugged this little old

  lady in the park and he ran by my cart and the angel tripped him right in front of my cart. I placed

  a WT with him while he was down. He is now my bible study. We are still working on returning

  the little old lady purse. But Jehovah is great, sorry I mean the GB is great.

  back in the early 70's there was a brother, well known in the circuit did the no no with.

  a few of the young sisters in the congregation.

  Finkeistein: I agree on the variables. A well like elder walks away or DF, he goes off

  and does his own thing. Years later he return the brothers welcome him back with open arms.

  I believe the difference a person(not an elder) who have been df and seeking repentance by attending all

  meetings, sitting in the back and shunned it's a good thing for the rf. But someone who walked away,

  never attended any meetings and years later show up (elder), yes he will be reinstated quickly.

  Brother was a professional football player before becoming a JW. He was df for adultery,

  df and reinstated within two years and soon after an elder.

  I have been out since 1987, my brother an elder told me I could be reinstated in six months.

  I guess it much easier to be re instated if you have family members who are elders.
