  How many do you figure are converted through the door to door ministry?

  by HereIgo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i regular pioneered for 2 years and never have actually converted anyone through the door to door work, in fact, i only knew a few individuals that joined this way.

  most were born-in or at least had some type of family influence.

  i had several bible studies but they all got cold feet when things got serious and potential baptism was discussed.

  Two people from door to door in 9 years pioneering. Eleven total enslaved through my efforts. Damn it!
  

  One was Disfellowshiped and died young on a motorcycle. 100 mph plus makes a puddle.

  One DA'd, (went to college and got a clue).

  The others were all uber dubs and have faded away, dead, inactive, etc.

  As a JW how would you answer this if someone brought it up in the ministry?

  by NikL in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as a jw i pretty much just went along with what was taught from the platform i didn't do any real bible study.

  as a result, now that i am out of the org.

  i find scriptures that blow my mind.. i am not sure how i would have reacted if someone had pointed this out to me when i was a jw but now i can't believe i've never noticed this before.

  God is a concept, by which we measure, our, pain.

  I'll say it again.

  If we could ask the Disciplines today this one question.

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  imagine if we had an opportunity today to ask any of the faithful disciples this question.. who resurrected jesus?.

  what would their response be... if they still remembered what jesus said in john 2:19-22.

  19 jesus replied to them: “tear down this temple, and in three days i will raise it up.”+ 20 the jews then said: “this temple was built in 46 years, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 but he was talking about the temple of his body.+ 22 when, though, he was raised up from the dead, his disciples recalled that he used to say this,+ and they believed the scripture and what jesus had spoken.. .

  Jesus was obviously made of yeast because he rose himself. Gimme a break. He died and the zealots made him a hero. How many resurrected people do you know?

  by smiddy3 in

  2. beliefs

  i mean to say he is the creator of the universe isn`t he ?

  so why would he use such a method that is subject to crumbling over time ?.

  The Lesser God

  by compound complex in

  2. friends

  like the night before, and so many others too numerous to count, i am awake.

  widely and wildly.. stumbling to my crowded desk, i sit like a spineless lump upon my ladder back and settle in for the duration.

  i light a new candle, earlier fitted into a brass holder, and, by fits and starts, i commence putting pencil to paper.

  an ever revealing awareness possesses me:never again shall the cool, comforting reposeof sleep calm my worried brow.

  i pace my litter-strewn floor, i walk the shadowed lane below, yet.

  that ardent promise of darkened reverie become sweetslumber is as certain as the sun shall not set and the moon.

  The "circle" of the earth

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.

  this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.

  from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.

  Anyone experiencing an eclipse would know the earth is round. Don't need no God. What a joke.

  Lets hope for his family's sake the Ass Hall had liability insurance. I don't know if they carry it or not. I don't remember it being on the list of costs for the Ass Hall when we had our "elder's" meeting at the Boasting sessions.

  Its in his hands which he prefers, a dead daughter from physical or mental abuse or remaining an overworked figurehead in a religious order. Me thinks he's making the right choice.
