This same counsel has been in several magazines already this year! The primary concern that this WT is cautioning against, is the Apostasy in the Kingdom Hall and out in Field Service..

They underplay it.. But that is the real message. If a fellow JW brings up ANY unapproved questions, comments or opinions, immediately reject his unrighteousness.

The Conscious class is becoming bolder, and they are starting to ask Many,Many questions.

What is the main "idea" of the bible?

by KateWild in

as jws we were often told what the theme of the bible is, we were taught that it was the promised seed.. i was recently asked the question.... what is the main "idea" of the bible?.

for me the whole purpose of the bible is about control.

it features a god that punishes and rewards.

Why do I bother to wake up in the morning?

jw
friends

i'm not suicidal just fed up.. i did think of suicide (briefly), but as there is no painless way and it's not something i would willingly do just in case things would have been better the day after.

i do have a slight grain of hope.. money problems.....problems at home (that's another matter with a son up court for something he is adamant he didn't do.

first offence but the pigs police and the cps have got charges made.

Hey my friend Punk.. I was saddened to read your post, and the trouble that you're going through.

This reminded me of a conversation we had 2 months ago..

I said " Are you an Atheist now? If so, is your life void of Hope and Joy? Without faith in anything, how do you wake up every morning? I am curious, and it is not my intent to judge your point of view."

You scoffed at my question.. But I was serious.

Are you open to re considering if there is a God or not, and if there is anything in the world to have faith and hope in? I hope you are.. I can help you see things differently, when ever you are open to hoping again.

by stuckinarut2 in

i'm sitting here at the mtg, and i can't believe the mind numbing stupidity of this weeks wt "study"...( i use the word study loosely too by the way...).

how many dumb repeated questions can be posed to try and make a point?.

the opening paragraph illustration re blindness is classic!

"the Bible Says"

James 3:9 - Why can't we all just get along?

by objectivetruth in

once you start viewing "worldly" people as people, just like yourself and everyone else, you can't help but to be filled with love and appreciation.. i read this scripture today and liked it :.

james 3:7-9 - for every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue.

it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Once you start viewing "Worldly" people as people, just like yourself and everyone else, you can't help but to be filled with love and appreciation.

James 3:7-9 - For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.

I'm not quite certain what it means that we are made in the image of God, but we can definitely see his qualities in each other if we look hard enough, and drop our prejudices.

The Good News of The Kingdom - Gods Plan for Salvation through the Ransom (Help Needed)

by objectivetruth in

when i first began studying in order to "make the truth my own", there were a set of scriptures that perplexed me and motivated me to dig deeper.. the scriptures are regarding the resurrection of the inhabitants of sodom & gomorrah.. see jesus words here - matthew 10:15 - "truly i say to you, it will be more endurable for the land of sodom and gomorrah on judgment day than for that city.

" (ezekiel 16:48 / matthew 11:23 / matthew 11:24 / luke 10:12 ).

any time that i brought these scriptures up to jw friends and family they would reply like this "jesus was speaking in hyperbole.. that is why he said it would be more endurable".. i would clarify and show them that it says "will be".

Abe - are you Referring to individuals that have received full knowledge of the truth, and then deliberately work against that spirit, thus sinning against the holy spirit? Or are you referring to all humans?
