  Death is a Terrible thing...

  by KW13 in

  1. jw

  has it sunk in for you people that your going to die yet?

  i'm still avoiding the thought but it lurks in the back of my mind, i'm aware someday i've got to address it - like many here i didnt expect to live this far in this system, so i haven't any plan for life as of yet.. death frightens me.

  i cannot sometimes watch a film with death of a character in a tragic way - there one moment with family/friends and a life and then not...i read the story about challenger the rocket that exploded and how the crew onboard that shuttle may well of been aware they were going to die.

  I think of death many times, but I believe in God, Jesus and the resurrection. Death itself doesn’t scare me as much as dying, I hope I go quickly and as painlessly as possible. And I hope I leave those living that I am responsible for in a good state.

  The 144,00 are spirits, they don’t have beards, legs arms or anything else of a physical nature. Jesus had a beard while he was a man on earth, but as a spirit in heaven it doesn’t count. Beards in drawings of angels are only of a symbolic nature showing only what the present thoughts on beards are.

  Anyone still have trouble expressing anger?

  by tall penguin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having been doubly mind-f*&ked by an organization that preaches peace and poor boundaries and a perfectionistic mother who hates conflict, i find myself still having great difficulty expressing my anger in a healthy way.

  my past response when angry was to cry or turn the anger on myself and become self-destructive, ultimately leading to suicidal thoughts.

  i find lately my subconscious percolating anger almost constantly.

  No I do not have trouble expressing anger and if you ask me once more I’m gonna spank your butt woman! But on a serious note I think expressing anger for the right reason is normal, in fact I won’t know if someone is a real friend until I’ve had a disagreement with him, then seeing how we both sort out our differences will show if we were ever really friends.

  Obviously the Holy Spirit thought the faithful and discreet slave class has not made up its mind yet.

  Moments at the District Assembly You'll Never Forget...

  i'll never forget the assembly in madison, wi.

  where some poor sap had to tell everyone that he had become addicted to porno on the net, but through much prayerful contemplation and after confessing to the elders he was able to come to "grips" with it.. good luck to that guy with ever getting a fine sister to marry him.. poor guy.

  i really felt sorry for him.

  If you guys think its humiliating to talk about being a addicted to porn is bad, what about this 30yo guy who stood up in front of about 500 people at an assembly and told everyone how he was addicted to masturbation !!! Yes folks masturbation! I didn’t know the guy and I was embarrassed just being in the same Hall as that nut. Of course by prayer God helped him to stop ( probably till he got home at least )

  Do you pray for others? Why? (One reason I rejected the Bible)

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in addition to the noah's ark nonsense, this idea of praying for others was one that led me away from the bible.

  here's how it plays out, in my opinion:.

  bob has a problem.. jerry prays about that problem on behalf of bob.. god either:.

  I do pray for others, others that matter to me. e.g. my family, that I'm a good parent to my girls, that my girls grow up proper and for my wife. As for others, I don't think I really do pray for them, but you can't just stop praying just because you don't know how God will figure things out. Your line of thinking remind me of Frances Farmer's Letter "God dies"

  Why you still go on Field Service? Why Elders posts on JWD?

  by tooktheredpill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this morning, a poster asked me why i still go on field service:.

  just wondering if your conscience bothers you that you are continuing to "spread the jw gospel"?

  do you have plans to stop fs soon?

  I have not read all the posts on here but as for me, I still go Field service because I don’t want the WTS to win, why should I let allow them to break up my family and friends, according to the apostle Paul, we are fighting a spiritual fight, I thought I was fighting against Christian but I am fighting against the WTS. As far as field service is concerned, I feel OK about it because I still believe very much in God and that this is the last days, I preach to them this and maybe even read verse’s but I just leave it at that and don’t promote the WTS.

  Do j.w.'s celebrate New Years?

  by hubert in

  2. friends

  although it may have been, i have never seen this question here.. i've never heard anything about celebrating new years from any of them, but i'm curious if they do or not, and if they send new years cards too?.

  if they don't celebrate it, what scriptures would they use to support this?.

  hubert.

  JW’s don’t celebrate nothing except wedding anniversaries, for now ! I am expecting that birthdays will one day be a ‘conscience matter’ Its all fromn the Devil.
