  Theocratic Warfare Strategy

  by outbutnotdown in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am not sure how many people will remember me because i have not posted in a couple of years, but 'hi' all.

  i have been out of the jw religion since about 1992, so i have forgotten some teachings, etc.

  nevertheless, i am hoping to obtain quotes from watchtower books or magazines that talk specifically about their theocratic warfare strategy.

  Can anybody please point me to JW articles that specifically say that, ultimately, when Courts say that JWs are supposed to do certain things, that those laws should be ignored when they conflict with what the Watchtower teaches?

  Thanks.

  they ran it precisely as written [i believe, though i have not checked it word for word].

  in seeker4's original thread he suggested that the catholic settlements could be used as basis for such a letter;.

  Glen Howe's family brought my grandparents in the "truth". My parents know him well. What did you hear about him?

  That he was supposedly helping my ex-wife and her mother throughout the court process, during our separation. He never actually appeared in court or wrote any affidavits, etc., but apparently he was helping from behind the scenes. My ex-wife is technically a JW, although she doesn't follow their teachings whatsoever and hasn't attended a meeting in years. My ex-MIL is a JW pioneer however, and has attempted to prevent my relationship with my children in many, many ways. Scully, thanks for the info. I am going to read the link provided.

  Funny (and sometimes annoying) things your pets do.

  i have two cats.

  brother and sister.

  good cats and i love 'em, but the male cat is really clingy.. it's usually no problem, but every time i answer the phone, the male cat immediately jumps on my lap, demanding attention.. it makes it really challenging when i am at the computer, attempting to search files, etc.

  LOL.... Timmy the cat seems cute.

  My cats make quite the ruckuss downstairs sometimes, loud enough that it seems that people are wrestling on the floor. I snuck down and watched them for awhile one time.

  They would stand at opposite corners of the recroom and run at each other, full speed, each leaping into the air and crashing into each other belly-first, then falling to the ground. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

  I think I know how Andre the Giant was reincarnated now.

  It makes it really challenging when I am at the computer, attempting to search files, etc. for information on the topic at hand while he is doing this..... and it doesn't matter how many times I put him down, he just keeps jumping back up.

  And don't get me started with the problems it causes during the phone sex.

  But seriously, what odd things do your pets do?

  is jesus real to you?.

  the reason i ask is because a few weeks ago i was talking with two young men about him and one of them turned to the other (his cousin) and said, "i know jesus is real.

  Is Jesus real to you?

  No, he is not.

  Any "answered" prayers are explained just as easily by the effect of bringing positive thoughts to our subconscious mind.

  I prefer to believe in the ability to control my own destiny through my own mental processes, than I do in believing some fairytale....... but, of course, that could just be Satan talking.
