Question for Defd

by gringojj in

jw

.

defd we were talking earlier and i didnt want to hijack the other post.

we were talking about how i believe it is unfair for god to murder his children even though it is his fault that they dont follow his wishes not because they dont want to but because he did not make his wishes clear.. you said that his wishes are clear, but the devil distorts them.. you promised me you would provide me with some examples.

Evanescence

You said that his wishes are clear, but the devil distorts them.

The huge division in the churches could be a start.....

What do you say in field service?

i learned the truth about the truth after i was df.

now, i want to get reinstated for family reasons.

i still want to walk the tightrope to the point of going in service,but cannot promote the teachings of wts as i did for 40 yrs.

Evanescence

Talk about God and the bible.... but don't talk about the Watchtower....

you can still be christian and serve god not the Watchtower....

Talk about the good news of Jesus or the love of God..

"God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life god can help you when you are suffering, just have faith in him and pray without ceasing"

Stuff like that... don't even mention the watchtower.

Arachnaphobia - I hate spiders

anyone who does not the like killing any of god's creatures, please do not read this.. i just laid in bed for over an hour trying to sleep until i heard a faint noise which sounded like lots of feet scrabbling around.

for a minute i thought there were rats somewhere.

i laid there for a minute my eyes darting around in the dark and i could feel my pulse going.

Evanescence

I would'nt reccomend a holiday in Australia if you can't stand crawling/slithering things. We have the crown jewels of killers!!

Shhhhhhhhhhhh don't scare the tourists away

lol Ballistic your braver than i am.... I wouldn't go near the spider at all, i would go and sleep in the lounge or something.

I have the worst phobia on Spiders, I would check every corner as I enter the room and I get really spooked while having a shower, afraid that one will jump out..... I do get hunsmands a fair bit in The bathroom and in the kitchen area. oh and I cannot go outside in my backyard at night there are always a whole heap of big ones

Sometimes i'm not that bad... I can be more braver than other times.

Angharad, I didn't know there was another admin on this forum I thought Simon was the only admin and the rest were "Forum assistants"

One tactic I try is to imagine the spider is your worst enemy or someone you dispise, then u can kill it die evil spider DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*although that idea doesn't work for me *
