Nov 15 WT Study Edition - Appeal to help inactive ones

by TJ - iAmCleared2Land in

heard today that the nov 15 issue has two of its four study articles targeted at helping inactive ones.

get ready for the phone calls to start up.

has the scans of this been posted yet?.

Demonstrate Interest: A brief telephone call or visit may assure one who has become inactive that we have not forgotten him. What could we say? We may be encouraging by simply letting the person know that we were thinking of him. Keep the conversation positive and upbuilding.

When an inactive brother begins coming back to the meetings, how should we treat him?

We want to confirm our love for him

we should seek direction from the elders. If we come across an inactive publisher in the territory, we should inform the elders so that they can render needed assistance.

Therefore, take note of those who may have stumbled or drifted away. If we patiently reflect Jehovah’s love by demonstrating sincere interest in such ones.

It's all so contrived. They create fake, phony, pretentious humans.

I felt important before, now I feel just regular

friends

when i first got assigned to the circuit work, the branch sent me far away to a rural circuit, they usually do that with the new c.o.'s.

i had 17 congregations, some of them were only 12 publishers.

no sound system, no stage, meetings in a persons home with no ac.

moomanchu

I totally agree with you.

Thats why JW's have this cavalier in your face, I'm better than you attitude.

If you tell them about it they vehemently deny it.

My wife and I both work with dubs and now being on the other side we laugh

because we now hear all the talk about them. No one and I mean no one can stand these two people.

Dubs are made to feel important right down to their attire......business suits, briefcases they're friggin executives.

jehovah's witnesses nabbed after killing spree in russia.

two jehovahs witnesses have been arrested in russia as suspected serial killers who claim they went on a nine-month killing spree to cleanse the world of sinners, the daily mail newspaper reported on thursday.. vladimir gurianov, 44, and elvira egorycheva, 46, are accused of killing 13 people while claming to be on a mission from god.. egorycheva had a revolver, two axes, a rope and an electric-shock device when the pair was seen in a suburban supermarket and arrested after their pictures had been circulated throughout the region.

gurianov had a gun and a knife in his jacket, the newspaper reported.. the two met at a jehovahs witness meeting 16 years ago and reunited late last year before embarking on their alleged murderous rampage.

The GB and the annnointed could show love for their fellow man, hasten armaggedon and usher in the paradise just by simply dieing.

The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the one.

WWJD ? lol

what does the 11/2008 WT say about rounding up faders?

by halcyon in

i read this in another post, and since i haven't been reading wt for years, and if there was an original post i didnt' see it.

i'm scared.

are they officially coming after long-time faders now?

moomanchu

We must keep in mind that the individual continues to be our spiritual brother.

If we need to control the individual then they are our brother.

If we need something the individual has money, talent, skill ect. then they are our brother.

If the individual does something that makes the WT look bad,

weeeeeeeeeeeeell they were really never our brother or a JW.

Yay WT can't lose yay yay !!!

oldhippie,

You might want to reread this and change your comment.

Gurianov - who locals said had 'mad eyes' - and Egorycheva first met at a Jehovah's Witnesses sect meeting 16 years ago.

When they were reunited late last year, Egorycheva allegedly told him she had a vision and they must travel to the Volga region to carry out God's wishes.

HELLO, I'M NEW AND.........

by billie jean in

i never believed a word of any of it !.

raised a j.w from birth, i'd sit in the meetings and at conventions wondering what the hell it was all about and that it was all one big joke and imagine that they''d all suddenly turn around laughing and pointing at me !!

saying something like "haha the joke's on you".

moomanchu

Welcome to the forum billy.

I was born into the religion also.

A childs innate instinct is to trust their parents, relatives and elders. They betrayed our trust.

I also hate the f*****g feligion.

COMMENTS YOU WILL NOT HEAR AT THE WT STUDY 09-07-08 (HOUSE TO HOUSE MINISTR

by Mary in

" (this would harmonize with matt 10:9 that tells them not to take any money with them).

" the interpretation of the acts of the apostles, 1961, pp.120-21.

it became evident, however, that further personal training in the house-to-house ministry was needed.

moomanchu

Great commentary thanks.

I'd love to tell a jaydub "why don't you go back to the bottomless pit from where you came from and serve your king Abaddon. "

Rev 9: 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth.

11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

This sums up the Jaydubs preaching work

Mathew 23: 13 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. 15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

What I Learned from Bro Lett's DC Talk

by Rohag in

what i learned/derived from steven lett's dc talk (thanks again, ynot, for providing access to the .mp3 files!).

brother lett - or the committee that produced the talk - really loves food metaphors.well-dressed people, especially children, produce a good witness.if you're an apostate, chances are bad conduct/secret sin/moral depravity made you that way.

apostasy is usually founded on sin and rarely on conviction.the bible is an insufficient - or overly cumbersome - guide to godly conduct.

moomanchu

Jesus was an apostate of the Jewish religion.

I am an apostate of the Wacktower religion.

Monkey see monkey do.

Jesus knew that his followers would face hatred from unbelieving relatives

The only hatred that happens is the hatred of the JW towards the unbeliever of the WTS.

No one enjoys being accused of something he has not said or done.

You mean like being called .........................

apostate
antichrist you are the antichrist (part of the composite)........ didn't know this
man of lawlessnes you are the man of lawlessnes (part of the composite)
son of destruction you are the son of destruction (part of the composite)
satan you are a satan (someone who is set against God and therefore is a satan).....didn't know this
lawless men
oppresive wolves
wolf like men
false teachers
false prophets
resisters
defectors
hypocrites
rebels
back sliders
immitation christians
wicked
wicked opposers of God
wicked class of persons
sons of the wicked one
misled by demons
sinners against the Holy Spirit
those having their consciences seared
men who speak lies
sect creaters
fallen away from the truth
not accepting the love of the truth
pleasure seekers
loose
worldly
materialistic
Jezebel
Judahs's
field of thorns and thistles

having an increased share in the preaching work. That will likely produce in us a deep happiness.

Yes, yes the preaching work, the panacea to all mankinds problems.

JW's look so miserable because their happiness is sooooo deeeeep. LOL

Thanks blondie
