  by Mary in

  oh god........for those of you who don't have access to all the latest spiritual food

  page 1 "...were the flood survivors simply individuals fortunate enough to have randomly escaped destruction?

  the bible account shows that this was not the case.

  Married with Children :

  Al, Peg, Kelly and Bud are planning their Halloween night for treats, and decide to ring on a neigbors door, Bud says but he won't answer, Al says well we will see how much he likes it, people ringing his doorbell. (something to that effect, my wife laughed her head off, the first time she saw the episode)

  Do JW parents ENJOY watching their kids struggle ???

  speaking from my observations in my family .... have an uncle, very successful travel business, very well off, both kids in their 30's 40's never had a job, both in bethel and have nothing.. another had 5 kids , did very well, all kids are pioneers and or bethel kids and have nothing, one just left bethel and now living in a one bedroom apartment with wife.. and they have no future or skills, .

  even my one brother, 2 kids both work part time, and pioneer, yet he would never quit his job and go into the full time work, in fact his wife just got a job.. and what bugs me about this, is, they shove it down their kids throats, and yet they would never give up their jobs, they would never pioneer, i find it disturbing and sad.. and i saw this at the kingdom hall as well, anyone have similar experiences ??

  they think that Armegeddon is imminent and so pionnering, this 'life saving' work is a priviliedge and brings great happiness.. they really think that.. plus they will think is assures their children of living forever.. so it is a bigger picture they are looking at

  I understand that, BUT, if it bring such happiness and such a priviledge, why don't the parents EVER pioneer and give up their jobs. Guess they don't want to be there ???

  Do you still preach?

  by Theocrat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many here are not jehovah's witnesses anymore because of one reason or another, but do you still preach?

  do you still think that it is important for a christian to preach?

  just wondering.

  I see where you are going, but not sure it's entirely a JW thing. Years ago I read a great book entitled "Toxic Parents." (One wonders why I read it). Anyway, I recall something about toxic parents not wanting their children to do better than they have done.

  but not sure it's entirely a JW thing.

  I agree, it just seems to me to be more evident with JW parents.

  Russell's The Finished Mystery

  by GenericMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the following has been copied from my personal copy of the finished mystery:.

  even the republics will disappear in the fall of 1920.

  in one short year, 1917-1918, the vast and complicated system of sectarianism reaches its zenith of power, only to be suddenly dashed into oblivion.

  Parents don't understand...

  by überRabbit in

  2. experiences

  my parents just don't understand why i don't want to be part of the jehovah's witnesses organization.

  it's not that i don't believe jesus' teachings, but i believe that the society has taken it too far.

  they read too deep into god's words, that they end up putting training wheels on everyone.
