Why don't JWs follow Christ's ENTIRE command at Matt. 28:19-20?

by Olin Moyles Ghost in

jw
friends

jws take a great deal of pride in the fact that they follow jesus' command at matt.

go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit,teaching them to observe all the things i have commanded you.

i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.. .

moomanchu

That's easy they make the rules, period, the end.

another thought

The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

There's a scripture where the GB limits its application

to the 144,000, because Jesus was talking to his close disciples.

I can't remember what it was right now.

Why don't they do that here?

Also how does Jesus come back to us in 1914 if he was with us always?

I guess I should re-read the first sentence I typed. lol

ever feel like you just wanna give up?

i'm losing my job at the end of this month.

because of the financial situation in the world, there's a hiring freeze on both internally and externally and hardly any positions are coming up.

Sorry about your situation, praying it gets better for you.

Read your JW info pack thoroughly thanks again for that.

Liberal JW's

by Dubby in

jw

i admire the jw's who seem to be not too affected by what the society teaches.

for instance; my brother became a jw when he met his wife, who was born into the wts.

his wife and her family, always seemed to be very gregarious people, and enjoy life very much.

moomanchu

Just noticed this thread is from 2000 .

At least the "apostate" teachings hold up to the test of time. LOL

Wasanelder I know exactly what you mean. Our hall had some very, very wealthy elders, they didn't do shit when it came

to pioneering or other unsavory JW activities.

Good thread,

Basicly I think your brother is a hypocrite and you were not.

I was a hypocrite and then decided I didn't want to be one.

Lots of JW's float along.To them it's just a social club.

For the inactive: Five reasons why JWs encourage you to go back

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

for those of us who are inactive and receiving encouragment to go back to meetings, what do you think their reasons are?.

here are five suggestions:.

) they genuinely think you will die at armaggedon.

moomanchu

all true - more......

They don't understand how you can be happy as a non JW. (misery loves company)

It irritates- confuses them that you know what it's all about and still have left.

More numbers in congregation.

They are scared of blood guilt of not getting you back.(lose carrot of eternal life)

What if regular meeting attendance wasn't a requirement?

by R.F. in

we all know how regular meeting attendance is the ultimate way of measuring the "faith" of those among the religion, other than field service reports.

what do you think would happen with the attendance numbers if you were only encouraged to go as a sort of option, if you weren't hounded for not attending regularly?

moomanchu

What if reporting field service time was not a requirement?

(you know like it was back in the 1st century)

moomanchu

Good points passwordprotected.

What if many in your territory are apathetic about religion?

Correction, many are apathetic about JW's.

Many people have been spiritually injured--skinned and thrown about by false shepherds. (Matt. 9: 36)

Yes many JW's have been spiritually injured.

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Why don't JW's follow Jesus's example?

I wonder which publication Jesus had the most success with?

Stupid cult.

Thanks for the write up blondie.

Media Exposure of JW's- Oprah?

by Cali2CO in

since we are unable to bring forth a class-action law suit against the watchtower society due to laws in place that protect religion, has anyone thought about or tried to expose the jw's in the media?

people need to be aware this is not a loving group of people as they want to be perceived.

everything i read recently placed alot of blame on jw"s who have left since it is their fault they joined in the first place.

moomanchu

welcome newbies,

Classifications for members based on # of posts are gone I see.

Oprah might not work,

I hear her show is part of the worldly media controlled by Satan.

see, not only did christ come invisibly, but armageddon's already happened too.

except it was also invisible.

we're actually living in paradise right now.

moomanchu

When any dub asks me about meetings, I tell them I'm always there, but invisibly.

Love it.

The resurrection has also occurred, only ummm invisibly yeah, yeah that's it invisibly.

Hey, wait that's Christendom's gig.

What will happen around the end of 1,000 year reign?

by asilentone in

of course, we know that satan and his demons will test people's loyalty to jehovah shortly after 1,000 years temporarily, alots of people will die around that time like salts of the sea!

after satan and his demons are completely destroyed forever, i am sure alot of people will be very happy to have sex again to populate the earth again.

can you visualize what will happen to the "salts of the sea" before they perished?

moomanchu

Try to get into the heavenly group of jayduhbeeyas.

It's much easier in that group because, your loyalty to jah is tested only once.
