How can you gain their warm friendship? The requirements for being a guest in Jehovah?s tent as one of his friends are outlined in Psalm 15. Look it up in the Bible, and read the five verses of that psalm. Additionally, Jesus Christ said: ?You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you.??John 15:14.

Interesting...if you do not obey me you are not my friend...yeah, that doesnt work for me. Kind of harsh requirement of for friendship...I can see your boss saying that, but not a true friend...

Okay, so are all babies/children destroyed at Armageddon?

by somebodylovesme in

my inactive jw hubby said he thought that babies/children too young to choose their beliefs would be brought back after armageddon in the jw belief system.

i have read the opposite on this board.

my husband hasn't been to a meeting in quite awhile and i don't think he paid too much attention when he was there ... lol ... so i thought i'd ask.

Definately WT doctrine...I remember when I got baptised a sister came up and hugged me and said "Now your son is safe as long as you stick with Jehovah" that kind of scared me.

Doesn't make much sense to me...but then again, when the Isrealites went forth committing genocide across the land they did not spare children...so if the god of the old testament is the same as the god in the new testament...why would it be any different for those at armaggedon?

it is sad if you ask me. That not being able to take care of them? People are supposed to be perfect for god's sake! Can you imagine how many couples who chose NOT to have children to pioneer and serve as a faithful witness would just love to take on that responsibilty?

If Russell or Rutherford had any smarts, they would have interpreted the scriptures in around that way, to show that god had a special reward in mind for those that may have died childless or survived throught armaggedon with no kids.

HMMMMMmmmmm maybe I should start working on creating my OWN religion..worked for Ron L Hubbard

My best JW's friend baby passed away

he was only 5 months and 1 week old...he was not breathing when they woke up on wednesday, and they tried cpr, but it didnt work.....i am so sad for them.

she was the sister that studied with me before i was baptised, and also the best friend i ever had, in or out of the jws.

she moved away from about 4 years ago, and we had only spoken a few times on the phone since then.. a mutual friend of ours called me yesterday morning and told me.

Eyebrow2

thank you all....I have been thinking about asking if they are going to join a support group when I call them later in the week.

I know their witness friends will do what they can to comfort them, and since they have that faith it may help a little, but I think a support group would be a good idea too, talking with others that have gone through the same thing. After all, that is why most of us are on this board..

thanks everyone...and for those out there that still pray, please say a prayer for my friends

Anyone well-versed in Virginia auto insurance procedures?

by razorMind in

jw
friends

i need some advice and don't know where to go.....

i was involved in a fender-bender about a month ago, and cannot get anywhere with either my insurance company nor the other driver's.

i was dropping my husband off at his job, a very busy and very large teaching hospital in the city.

Big Tex...oh my god that is bad, bad bad hahah!

I tell you this....that service sucks...you need to consider switching insurance companies after all this is settles. There is no excuse for such crappy service. It is just wrong. I was an insurance agent in the 90s and I bent over backwards for my clients (not literally...although there were a few hotties I sold snowmobile policies to that I wished had asked teeehee!).

Nationwide is one of those insurance companies that will screw you if you do not have a good insurance agent. Of course the adjuster comes up with the dollar amounts, but a good agent should be on the phone making sure the adjuster gets out there. If you have not already, call in and see if you can get the name of the adjuster's supervisor and speak with him or her. It is good you are keeping track. If talking to the suprervisor does not help, file a formal complaint with not only Nationwide, but with the agency in your state that regulates insurance, Make sure that copies are sent to the adjuster, supervisor and agent as well.

Good luck! and congrats on your new baby.

Need Advice From Abuse Victims or People Who Counsel Abusers

by imallgrowedup in

i never thought i would be writing a post like this, but i am really torn, and i need some insight.

i know this is a little long, but i really need advice.

i drive in a carpool picking up neighborhood kids from school and then drop them home.

It looks like you have made a very earnest effort to see if this boy is in danger, and you just don't know.

A few years ago when my son was in first grade I was reported to family services because he was out a lot due to sickness, and he was having problems in school. At first I was outraged, but then, after I talked with the family services, I was quite glad that they had a policy in place. Once I explained things, and they could see that he was not abused or neglected things were fine. It was uncomfortable for me, but I got through it.

As a parent, I sometimes feel that society puts too much emphasis on "the village" taking part in raising a child instead of the kid's family. HOWEVER, if you just don't know...if it really could be either way, I encourage you to report it. Do it as Big Tex said, just like you did here. Make it clear to protective services that you just don't know...it could be either way. But better that the child's parents be innocent and get ticked off at you, then the boy or other children in the house being beaten.

Maybe the mother is telling the truth. If he has been acting odd, I wonder if his injury is more severe than she realizes. Someone needs to report this. Just be clear that it could go either way. In any event, even if this was just an accident this kid obviously needs help dealing with school. It sounds like his parents have not been able to help him, so many some on in protective or family services can assist them with that.

This is such a hard call to make. But keep this in mind: A few years ago a little girl named Kassidy Bortner died as a result of her mom's boyfriend constantly beating on her. The people that babysat for her and her mother never did anything about it, and she died. I think she was barely 2 years old. The babysitter was an elderly man, and he will never forgive himself. There are a lot of Kassidy Bortners out there...god help anyone of us that knows one and does not have the courage to do something.

It really breaks my heart. It doesn't look like I can go, but I am going to send her a card and call her later next week. One of our mutual friends advised me to wait to call, they are pretty much in seclusion right now...who can blame them.
