  THE BOOK Of JASHER

  by snowbird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm beginning to tackle the book of jasher.

  it's mentioned twice in the bible - joshua and 2 samuel - so i decided to check it out.

  while it may not be considered to be inspired in the traditional sense, it fills a lot of gaps in the bible narrative.

  First of all I don't recall addressing you.. and second if you think the term 'lazy mind' is an insult then perhaps you also have problems. I will not bow to your exaggerated sense of fragility. Stop trying to create problems where there are none. Grow up.

  I shan't be doing your homework for you either.

  If you trust Wikipedia as your final authoritative source and stop your research there than yes you are in trouble. I think they call that 'lazy mind'.

  Advertise! Advertise! Advertise! The Governing Body.

  2. bible

  " no one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.".

  now that the 8 most important men on earth, the governing body, have been revealed as the faithful and discreet slave, to whom all the masters.

  belongings have been given, now that the most important news of the the 21st century has been brought to light, it is time for the world to be informed.. therefore, 2014 will become the year in which all world leaders will be informed that to survive, and to help the people of their respective nations to survive,.

  Wait a sec... over 6,000 years there have been many completely faithful and loyal servants and 'friends' of God on planet earth.. from Able down to the 12 faithful apostles hand chosen by Jesus himself and a million in between and since.

  Yet the entire known and unknown universe and all it's contents are to be given to 8 middle class white suited guys from Brooklyn? Did I get that right?

  Please stop the train I want to get off..

  This night a dream made me cry

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this night was a painful one.

  i had a very emotional dream and woke up realise that i was crying emotional.. in my dream my past 43 years did go by with all my close family and ended abruptly after i had to tell my paralyzed brother that we were the only two left and that our parents died.. because he can't talk, he only could express himself with his facial expression in his small room of an institute.

  it seems something is going on with me, it feels painful and i think it has to do something with our believe background.. wish me luck to deal l with it.. gorby.

  The real reason the WBATS don't want you in college!!!

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the wbats have ramped up no college for jws once again.

  the first time they backed off of it is because they noticed a person flipping hamburgers or cleaning toilets are not able to donate much money... so the wtbats says lets allow them to at least get a 2 year degree, then they can donate a little more... this goes on for awhile, but then the wbats notice that many who go to college are leaving...

  well because they gain knowledge and distance themselves from the cult and it's ignorance, have access to outside sources, and eventually learn ttatt!!!

  4 years? 4 weeks more like. It just took me 2 weeks of not going to meetings for the spell to break. By 4 weeks I knew I'd never be going back again.

  Is this really a place for Jehovah's Witnesses/Friends

  by jeff spreng in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because i was considering rejoining and the stories i have read only remind me of what was done to me.

  is there any clean place to go where good people and fellowship can be had.

  it sounds like maybe the people here should get together and start there own thing, like the reorganized latter day saints.

  The eldaaaars again!!

  by ILoveTTATT in

  after two months of not coming to my house, today about two hours ago, one of the elders that came two months ago came to my house.

  he was in serve-us with other brothers from the spanish cong and came into my house with a friend of mine (not another elder).

  he said he wanted to talk to me, and he said it in front of my mom and my dad (both were there).. what was interesting is that it seems like it will be a one-on-one for half-hour.

  Why lie about it? Why be weak about it? If you don't believe in it then what on earth are you doing there in the first place?

  All these lis and manipulations and decptions people are advising you to do here are just plain dishonest and slippery.

  There is no honour in that. It's cowardly.

  Be real. Just walk.

  WT ain't going out of business.

  by joe134cd in

  2. bible

  i've heard this said in other posts, so now i'm going to combine it in one post.. the $28 million awarded to conti is only drop in the bucket for what they are worth.. there would have to be 100 s of successful sex abuse law suites before they would feel it.

  quite frankly i don't reckon there would be enough with the right circumstances to have a successful case against wt.

  having a dozen or so cases isn't going to break the bank.

  You're all forgetting about the prophecy where the 'kings of the earth' and the political system will seek to plunder all the bounteous goods of the worlds religious empires. That will include the JW's too.

  I want to grow my hair back out!

  by onlyastory in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a few months prior to baptism i had shoulder length hair which i loved and had wanted ever since i was a child.

  i remember sitting with an elder during a bible study and asking him point blank if i 'had' to cut my hair.

  whilst the answer was given slightly awkwardly the answer was a no, "there are no rules that say you have to cut your hair".

  Come to think of it all kinds of shaving are wholly unatural and ungodly..

  Beard shaving and the common use of the razor an unnatural, irrational ...
