  but, god would never allow that today.

  he's gone through a learning curve.

  does god even learn?.

  Elder to visit me this Saturday to invite for the memorial

  by EverApostate in

  2. experiences

  just a brief history of me.

  me and my wife got baptized into the jw cult in 1997. we were both protestants before and in fact it was me who dragged her into the cult.

  during 2009, another jw friend of mine raised suspicions about his research on the blood and 607 bc theories.

  “I am planning to start off with John 6:54 where Jesus says that everyone should partake in the Emblems. Then I plan to move on to Blood Issues, UNO, and those whole bunches of WT non senses and Flip Flops.”

  Stick to one topic...the first one as you state should be answered. Along with this one...show me in the scriptures where jesus said to go out and invite anyone else to observe the ones he instructed to observe the memorial?

  As for me if they can show me in the scriptures where Jesus invited or said to invite any non believers or those not of the anointed class to observe...then I would consider going!

  Really ...I had a few last night and we went to pick up a pizza, and my wife asked if I was able or should drive...so she drove. Doesn't make me a woman hater...aHole@Finkelstein

  Your not getting the intent of what REG thread is about.
  

  He's saying that woman are bad drivers therefore dangerous

  Are you still drunk or have low comprehension.

  —————————-

  Your correct in that I did not read the post correctly...take back the “aHole” however I may give it back at the end of my reply.

  After further analysis of the post I find it humorous...you know as a joke. Doesn’t mean he is a woman hater! There are many topics that are clearly misandrists and goes on noticed. I’m glad I have a sense of humor and not looking for fault in everything. A joke is a joke.

  Now to answer your question on being drunk.. I wasn’t drunk just had two, but thanks for your concern.

  On my ability to understand...yes sometimes I need or should read to understand fully what is being said, however I don’t and jump to conclusions. Thanks again for pointing that out. I’ll try and do better!

  My conclusion is still the same...it was a joke and not misogyny.

  Why do Jehovah`s Witnesses believe everything will be Hunky Dory after Armageddon ? I have news for them.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  they seem to think that all they will do is enjoy a carefree life with little or no concerns problems or worries whereas nothing could be further from the truth... according to the bible.. without trying to speculate on these concerns or problems during this one thousand year reign of christ jesus ,lets hear what the bible has to say about the end of his thousand year reign.. rev.20:7-10 satan is to be let out of his prison {as if he hasn`t done enough damage in 6000 years of roaming about in the earth at the same time fraternizing with jesus and jehovah in heaven} i digress.. and the reason he is let out of prison ,lo and behold ,is to mislead those nations in the four corners of the earth gog and magog to gather them together for the war.

  { here we go again ,armageddon didn`t solve anything we have to go through another one.

  } 1000 years later.. now get this it`s not just some isolated little skirmish with a few hundred or even a few thousand dissenters ,as the bible states they number the sands of the seashore and they advanced over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp {not a nation but a camp} of the holy ones.and the beloved city.. with that description it would seem the holy ones are in the minority and the opposes apparently were spread over all the earth.. so that description of the bible to me about jc 1000 rule does not appear to be one of living in a paradise , that is not on the agenda until after jesus christ 1000 year reign and only if you are lucky enough to survive another test/war of your loyalty after all you have gone through previously.. i wonder if this realization is one of the reasons why so many now are claiming to be of the anointed because as one of the other sheep you have to pass another test after the 1000 years of christ jesus rule whereas of one of the anointed on death now you go straight to heaven ..

  So true...they focus on the carrot— just get through the first AG and everything will be ok. I remember the final-final test was to test those who were raised from the dead who had not gone through the first AG— so now you have the privilege to go through the second. The thought was if you made it through the first one didn’t guarantee you would make it through the last one!

  Also if you were real bad you would be put to death during the thousand years.

  Is it just me

  or is thanksgiving a massive animal sacrifice ritual?.

  Yes it's you...IMO. Other animals are used for food like Pigs, chickens, cows, etc and I would say that most are not used in a sacrificial ritual then sold to the masses for food! Let's not forget fish used for "Good Friday".

  Being part of the org essential for salvation

  good evening,.

  i am in search of recent articles in the watchtower, or in other articles that are available on jw.org, that explain that one has to be part of the organisation as a condition for salvation.. i can only find articles on sites other than jw.org that are from before the year 2000. .

  it is for discussions with a jw, so i can only use things from jw.org.. thanks in advance.

  Is Stephen Lett an alien imitation?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i've been watching quite a bit of gb member stephen lett on youtube recently (no, i'm not thinking of going back to the jws).. i just find him compulsive viewing, like when people slow down to see a car crash.

  i find his facial expressions and intonation spell-binding.. it reminds me a bit of john carpenter's the thing, a film where an alien life-form infects a host and imitates it, spreading throughout camps of remote workers in the antarctic.

  if i were a bethelite living in close proximity to lett, i'd be thinking about giving him the blood test to see if he was normal, lol.. why does lett speak in public the way he does?

  I don't think aliens look like him. So no!

  Now I base my reply on what I think I know...what I can relate it to.

  I could be wrong...so I may change my reply with more evidence.

  Do You Trust The News Media?

  obviously, trump doesn't.

  but do you?

  do you think that they are generally fair, unbiased and honest?.

  Absolutely no...I don't Believe what they report, at first! Remember WMD. WEPONDS OF MASS DESTRUCTION?... they reported this as a fact, but it was not. So who's controls the main media outlets? Is it those who want to shape your view?..so they can justify their reaction to it, and the governments response?

  That was one example of false accusations against a nation!

  So the question is why would you!...why would you trust main news stations for accurate news?

  Their track record for the truth is?...very misleading! And self serving.

  Like it's been said "fool me once shame on you...fool me twice shame on me!"

  Make our own intelligent choices? Only from information from the bible; but ordinary jws are told they cannot understand the bible without help from the GB and WTS publications, how is that free will

  Free will defined - MAKING YOUR CHOISES ON WHAT GOD-GB SAYS ARE ACCEPTABLE!

  That sounds like forced free will!

  If using my "free will" means you kill me for not agreeing with you...don't you dare tell me I still had the freedom of free will.

  If I had equal power and could not have my life taken or ruined, then I would have free will to make any decision I felt was right for me!

  THANKS BLONDIE FOR THE RECAP
