WT Comments (2/11 FIRST "STUDY EDITION") FEATURING MARY

by V in

So Hanzel and Gretel sold their house, and are now living in South America where they apparently will live happily ever after. Until it’s time for them to retire or she gets knocked up. Then they’ll be SOL with absolutely no financial help whatsoever from the assholes who talked them into this lifestyle in the first place.

Love it, to true.

3) This article will consider how you can overcome obstacles to your lifesaving ministry and how you may be able to help a greater number of people. The article that follows will examine how you can cult-ivate the art of teaching vital truths.

It takes a lot of effort, skill and time to get people to believe something isn't crap even though it looks and smells like crap.

Valentine Poems for that someone special

by moomanchu in

my darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:?.

marrying you screwed up my life.. .

i see your face when i am dreaming.. that's why i always wake up screaming.. .

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:?
Marrying you screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you're not.

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you cause I was pissed.

I thought that I could love no other,
That is until I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl is empty
and
so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face and your eyes
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe Go to hell.

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.

Arguing with witnesses on myspace.

by mkr32208 in

there is a wealth of witnesses on myspace that are just itching for a fight!

lots of them.

very ripe field!

Jehovah God originally intended the earth to be inhabited by people who live forever and take care of the earth and creation on it, right? His purpose hasn't changed. and still intends the earth to be inhabited in this way. We as human creations of his will not forever grow old and die. There will come a time when he will restore paradise to its original condition. If this doesn't happen, then that would mean that he IS NOT the most powerful being in the universe. He will not let ANY enemy thwart his original purpose. Since what he says ALWAYS comes true, we can have full confidence in this promise.

First paragraph of his profile . I hate this argument.

Jehovah's promised the Jews all kinds of things to time indefinite, but then it seems plans got changed.

hey everybody!

i had it out with hubby this weekend.

i think what set it off was a "to-do" list that he made first thing in the morning that listed all the chores i needed to do under his name and the chore under my name was to go to the kh with him to hear the co give a talk about "why the bible is accurate".

moomanchu

My favorite thing to say,

People that have not been preached to and die in this old system will be ressurected, right. yes, yes

People that have not been preached to will survive armageddon, right. yes, yes

People that have been preached to and refuse JW and die in the old system will not be ressurected, right. yes, yes

People that have been preached to and refuse JW will die at armageddon, right. yes, yes

Do everyone a favor and shutup about the JW's, right? no, no blah blah blah blah

We don't celebrate holidays because ........

by RubaDub in

i just can't stomach the time wasted in meetings and in the literature about the jw stand on holidays.. we try to explain why we don't celebrate christmas, mothers day, halloween, thanksgiving day, etc, etc, etc.. yet in reality, other than the memorial and anniversaries, we don't celebrate anything, regardless of the origins of the holiday.

if a new holiday was created encouraging people to be nice to each other, we still wouldn't celebrate it ... it would be worldly!!!.

all the time and energy put into determining the origins of certains days is just a waste of time.

moomanchu

We don't celebrate holidays because ........it's against our religon.

When I was a good dub and argumentive about everything, I was told "you just want to be different".

Boy, was he right.

The kingdom halls where are they headed?

what is happening to the kingdom halls?

where you live, are they declining or prospering?

you may hear claims of revival, and reports of swelling congregations occasionally come from such places as africa, eastern europe, and the united states.

moomanchu

That's one mystery solved.

There are countless familys from new york and new jersey that have relocated here.
to find out that up north in NY state that the Watertown/Carthage/Adams
congregations all closed and condensed themselves into one hall...

Thanks for the comments.

I played a little trick with this thread. The info is off the JW web site http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/152630/reply.ashx

THE CHURCHES
WHERE ARE THEY HEADING?

WHAT is happening to the “Christian” churches? Where you live, are they declining or prospering? You may hear claims of revival, and reports of swelling congregations occasionally come from such places as Africa, Eastern Europe, and the United States. Yet, news reports from other parts of the world, especially Western Europe, tell of church closings, dwindling congregations, and widespread apathy toward religion.

In the face of declining attendance, many churches have changed their style. Some proclaim themselves “nonjudgmental,” giving the idea that God accepts any type of conduct. Increasingly, churches offer entertainment, excitement, and secular attractions rather than instruction from God’s Word. While some churchgoers see the changes as needed adaptations to the realities of the modern world, many sincere people wonder whether the churches are straying from the mission that Jesus gave. Let us take a look at the trends churches have followed in recent decades.

I just thought it was funny how what they are saying about other churches applies equally to themselves.

Field Service Antics ...

by writetoknow in

do you remember all the munipulation and antics witnesses use to get out of actually going to the door and talking to people about the bible?.

i only bring this up because in another thread i posted someone made the assertion that if witnesses voted as a group they would change the election.

it like saying the witnesses go to every door in the world with the good news and their the only group doing the work!.

moomanchu

Rural work was the bomb.

Nice drive in the country interupted by a couple of minutes of irritation at a door.

NEW SCROLLS ANNOUNCED

by tula in

so that this will be no surprise to you, and so you will not be swayed in your firm stand of holy spirit truth, i give you this.. .

in the coming months expect to hear this in the kh and the mags..... "for those of you who have heard of the association of the wts and the un and have patiently and faithfully waited on jehovah, we can now tell you our reasons for doing this.

it has all been under the direction of the fds.. this library card was necessary because..... there are very old manuscripts that have never been deciphered and they have been housed within that library.. through much prayer and careful consideration, jah directed for our team of translators, which are the best and most accurate in the world, to be a part of this great uncovering of the new scrolls.".

Didn't a music star try this ? LOL
