  Lett's Historic Moment

  by Icarus in

  2. friends

  with all the furor over the jw's cash strapped pleas, i'm surprised no one noticed a different issue with this broadcast.

  it was historic!

  yes, all 7 of the gb have broadcast in the 7 months of the channel's existence!

  july study article confirms what the march study articles implied.

  wt july 15, your deliverance is getting near, para 15. annointed will be raptured before armageddon.

  i thought it was interesting the difference between the simplified version and the study version.

  this has nothing to do with my facebook endeavors.

  when the elders visited us last week, they also discussed my father.

  my mother called them about him.

  How hard is it to attend a congregation outside of the territory where you live? Consequences for doing so.

  It is viewed as "spiritual immaturity" to move from congregation to congregation. But the same article I recall stated that if a family head felt it was in the "spiritual interest" of his family to change that was acceptable. So just say that you felt it would be spiritually advantageous to move. State you do not wish to discuss your reasons. Then fade the hell out of there.

  questions

  2. relationships

  i've been dating a jw girl for about 4 years and we've recently had a lot of issues with the fact that her family doesn't like that i'm not a jw.

  i've been looking into the religion and am interested in it.

  but is it wrong to join just so i don't lose her?

  Daniel, would you like to join a group that will not give you a present at Xmas? And when you want to give them one they refuse it because its Satanic? Would you like to join a group that would forbid you to talk to your own children if they disagreed with the teachings of the group? (Assuming you are marriage minded). Would you join a group that believe that you should voluntarily die before taking a life saving blood transfusion? Would you join a group that expects you NEVER to miss attending their five meetings, (on 2 days) and looks at you as a weak person if you do? Would you join a group that would expect you to not associate with your own family because they are "worldly"? Lastly would you join a group that might tell your wife to leave you if you later decide that its all bullshit? and all this just for sex? Get it elsewhere.

  The elders came to talk about my facebook comment

  by cookiemaster in

  2. experiences

  so, not long ago i've told you guys how one of my only two jw friends saw my comment against the borg and called me about it.

  well, the little fraker also called the elders to tell on me.

  i know i've been a huge idiot for posting a comment about jw's on facebook, but nonetheless i did it and what's happened, happened.. two idiot elders came all the way from the nearest congo, 30 miles away to talk to me about it.

  Isn't it telling that they will drive 30 miles to "investigate" you for unfaithfulness but wont drive even a few miles to visit a friend and do the things a friend needs help with? There is no power in simply helping others. Judging is where the action is! Buffoons.

  in 1986, peter davies was on holiday in kenya after graduating from louisiana state university .. .

  on a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

  the elephant seemed distressed, so peter approached it very carefully.

  They started in on it being a "command" to attend meetings. I told them that if it were a "command" they would be having hundreds of committee meetings a month for all the people who don't attend. When they came down on me about it I answered it this way, "Jehovah knows my reasons." I told them my reasons as well. The whole Pedo thing etc. and then I said that Jehovah said, (James 2:13) . . ."For the one that does not practice mercy will have [his] judgment without mercy. Mercy exults triumphantly over judgment." Then I declared that I trust in Jehovah's mercy as far as my meeting attendance goes. They were thrown off by that and had no answer. I said its Christs sacrifice that will cover my sin if it is in fact a sin not to go." again no answer. Just have to know how to baffle them with their own BS. Again, when they left it was hugs all around. Silly rabbits.
