  I need to vent sorry!

  by KerryKing in

  i couldn't get back to sleep last night, something my father said a few weeks ago popped into my head.. we were talking about obtaining citizenship, he doesn't need it, but was contemplating what benefits it could get him now he's a pensioner.. background : i've been disfellowhipped for 15 years, i was born in, he is an elder, very much pimi, he was also born in.. i said to him how citizenship would be difficult for him as it would require him to swear allegiance to the state?.

  oh he said, thats just a crowd of people together in a big room for the swearing in event, it would be easy to just mumble or say nothing, nobody would know.. this has quietly been eating away in my mind, why did it bother me?.

  last night it hit me, when i was in my first year of school, age 5, i came out of school one day with a balloon with two little pencils attached, a gift from a classmate who's birthday it was, every child got one.

  box on page 24 of the july 15th titled :"if ever the evil slave....".

  jesus has placed the weightiest of responsibilities on the faithful and discreet slave-namely,overseeing the domestics and giving out spiritual food atthe proper time.

  jesus knew that those with greater responsibility have greater accountability.

  gossip

  by Nancy1919 in

  2. beliefs

  i was once was told by an jw elder it was a rule not to gossip or swear as it could harm someone, but i guess the new light allows this.

  it was bad enough when they were calling people worldly now i heard a jw gossiping about someone and it was mean.just another reason i would never go back.

  this is not going to be an in-depth research thread but a simple commentary.

  most of us are aware the ot yahweh is at times referred to as a 'bull' or having horns of the auroch (wild bull).

  the mighty heavenly cherubim (bulls) are said to pull his chariot.

  Unchangeable wisdom from the "slave" of yesteryear! 😀

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  brethern, and cistern, today's lesson from the golden calf is one of profound importance - never to be forgotten!.

  w56 6/15 p. 360 - "we usually believe what we want to believe, and one thing we like to believe is that we do our own thinking.

  they plant the thought and nourish it, but do it so subtly that we think it is our own.

  Are You Confident With Covid Vaccines and What Officials Say Is The Right Thing To Do?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of my friends have gotten the vaccines and are quite confident that it’s just what the doctor ordered.

  i’m not confident with dr. fauci.

  i don’t like the fact that the makers of the vaccines are not held responsible if someone taking the vac develops an illness or even death.
