i am so sorry that you all have to tease and ridicule, when it is in our hearts to serve like christ did, but jesus, was ridiculed, he was young, i know a young anointed sister who gave this interesting illustration, jesus was a common name back then, and he was from an unpopular town, nazareth,, so how would you all feel if he came today and was called carlos from pueblo?, .

many people thought he was crazy, and he was ridiculed and hated, .

matthew 19:30 states, "but many that are first will be last and the last first.

I have like four others of my hope I know, and we are under so much stress it is unbelievable, It is a hard, but Jesus, endured a torture stake despising shame, so we pick up ours, I guess it is to be expected.

Helping Newbies Understand YOU KNOW

for those of you who may not be aware of who bobby is better know as "you know".

allow me to share some things about this man that may help to shed some light on his mindset as a jw.. one of the most important things i have found when dealing with "loyal" jw on the net is to find out thier status with in the org, esp if they are male- .

you see this organization is a "position" driven organization, esp for males and if they have no position within thier local congo - other than mike handler after being a jw for years then that means in most cases the male jw is considered a flunky- we have seen guys as young as 17 being appointed as ms-.

You know, thanks for your story I am sorry you were not reappointed, but Jesus said in Matthew 19:30 the first will be last and the last first."

Jehovah will give his undeserved kindness to the humble ones. And we must never forget that, Imperfect men cant give us power, only Jehovah,

Brother Russell did not like counting Hours and so many Positions or status for Gods people, He knew what was right, so we just have to hang in there, Jehovah will be on our side...

When Jesus was on earth, he actually had a common name from a unpopular town, so how would you all feel if he came today and was Carlos from Pueblo?

So what if he mows the lawn, or handles the Mike, Would you have all laughed to see Jesus washing someones feet?

I will state this AGAIN, "For you behold his calling of you brothers , that not many wise in a fleshly way were called, not many powerful, not many of noble birth: but God chose the FOOLISH of the world that he might put the wise men to shame." 1 Cor 1:26

Remember that " many that are first will be last, and the last first." Matthew 19:20

WE ARE LAST NOW in you eyes and foolish, but even Jesus was ridiculed.

So have compassion, and love like Christ admonished us,,, Love, instead of ridicule...

Question for You Know

by larc in

jw
friends

on one of your posts you say the we operate with false assumptions.

it seems to me that one of your assumptions is false, to wit, the wt is god's organization.

again, somewhere you wrote that the jews were no longer god's people when jesus arrived.

11thHour

You all are just jealous of You Know because he Knows things that you all dont know, and he drives you all crazy when you cant figure it out....just ask Jehovah for understanding, of course, you can just veg, to the TV.

I do that when I cant think..............

i am now anointed.

the lady of the lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft my anointment in the form of a sword from the bosom of the water signifying by divine providence that i, dragon, was now anointed.

no i did not do it by exploiting the workers!

11thHour

Oh yes, thank you ,,,for reminding me." but whoever wants to become great among you must be your minister, and whoever wants to be first among you must be slave of all." Mark 10:43

Yes, I should wash his feet instead, if I have the heavenly hope, sorry, must be getting tired,,,I should not tease anyone, can I have a little sense of humor? well.....That is my job, to be the lowest and to serve.

The Young Anointed Speak

i have a friend that is of the anointed and dear to my heart.

"i do feel it is time to reveal my heavenly hope.

i am a young anointed jehovah's witness and i have long observed what is going on in the organization.

Here is a verse that supports Jehovah's loving choice, and wisdom, when he chose David, he was least among his brothers, and young, when God chose Joseph, he was the least, and the youngest,

When God chooses his sons, they will be unpopular, even foolish to the world..

"but God chose the FOOLISH things of the world, that he might put the wise men to shame, and God chose the WEAK things of the world, that he might put the strong things to shame, and God chose the IGNOBLE things of the world and the things LOOKED DOWN upon, the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are." 1 Corinthians 1:27-28

oh yes, and I also wanted to say, for those that think we are delusional, Jehovah foresaw the harsh judgement of people, People thought the same of Jesus, when he came to earth. Jesus was a not an uncommon name for boys in that time, and nazareth, was a unnoticable city..,,,,

How humble would you be if Jesus has come today and his name was Carlos from Pueblo?

Jesus of Narareth might sound nice and noble to us today, but not to people back then. He had a regular name from a unpopular town..and he was young, only 30, so think how the unhumble looked down on him.

YOUNG ANOINTED has NO DOUBTS

by 11thHour in

i am a young anointed, with a heavenly calling, but it is only an invitation, for " many are invited, but few chosen" matthew 22:14 .

we have to endure to the end to receive the promises, that those with "patience and faith inherit the promises.

" hebrews 6:12 .

11thHour

Dear Prisca,

This is a literal, but final number, Jehovah invites more than 144,000, because it says, "many are invited, but few chosen" Matthew22:14 Jehovah could have invited 288,000 thousand just as a probable parable if compared to the ten virgins, in Matthew 25 :1 and only FIVE were chosen.(HALF) to be worthy to enter into the Kingdom, 288,000 is just for a thoughtful ,example only,

144,000 is the final number that have proved to fulfill their invitation, They have to prove faithful in the end,, Just because you may feel you have the calling does not mean you will be there. 144,000 is only the FINAL number, just like choosing the most fit players for a football team..hehe...

In Revelation 14 1-5 it says the final number stands on Mount Zion, and they are without blemish, and sing the song only they know, of LOYALTY, which is in the Song of Solomon..
