I do not reject faith there is just something about faith that I cannot wrap my logical thinking mind around.

that's right, and it's great!

i don't know exactly why because he hasn't turned apostate and still seems to believe jw things.

i don't feel comfortable in asking him why he doesn't go to meetings anymore for some reason, or find out what he believes and if the things i've told him bout ttatt influenced his decision.

ttatt influenced his decision.

Your right in not saying anything to him because it might make him pull back and start up again.

Many suffer from guilt when they stop going and bringing it up may increase his guilt and make him start going again

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 05-05-2013 WT Study (STUMBLING)

Unlike

most athletic contests, this race allows for all who

enter and who endure to the end to win the prize.

(Matt. 24:13) Contestants lose only if

they fail to run according to the rules or

do not cross the finish line. Furthermore,

this is the only race that offers the prize

of everlasting life.

So who get's to be in the race? (only Jdubs)

Who set's up the rules? (the governing body)

Friday's Daily Text - Denial of the Free Gift

by Badfish in

friday, may 3. abraham put faith in jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he came to be called jehovahs friend.jas.

2:23.. abraham came to be jehovahs friendand that before the ransom sacrifice was offered.

(isa.

When this work is done to Jehovah’s satisfaction, “then the end will come.”—Matthew 24:14.

I think what they really meant to say was: the Governing Body's satisfaction.

WTF just happened??? An elder I haven't seen in years stopped by to hand me a XXXXXXXX !!!

by Calebs Airplane in

so yesterday afternoon, an elder who lives only 3 blocks away drives up to my house as i was about to enter my car.

as he gets out of his car, i noticed he had a stack of photocopied paper in his hand and he seemed quite nervous.

i was genuinely happy to see him nonetheless since he is pretty easygoing and very likeable.

It's simple,

elder 1 even though he probably thinks your a loser, came to visit you because it could have possibly given him some material gain. He may have had a few things left that he thought you may have bought.

elder 2 however would have recieved nothing from your HELLO. elder 2 is also an ignorant selfish ass hole who would push you under the bus if it benefitted him.

Who has experienced a REAL demonic incident?

by Monsieur in

has anybody here experienced a bonafide, real, true incident in whicy 'demons' actually interacted with you or did something 'supernatural' that left you convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that satan and his demons exist??.

ldrnomo

As scientific evidence in all areas of life including, understanding of the brain, physics, the material world and our own bodies continues to grow, the demon population continues to decrease proportionately.

Uhm, I wonder why

But then again, I'm just a material kind of person who only believes what is seen. So to answer your question, no I have never experienced a REAL demonic incident.

I did hear stories as an elder of different dubs thinking they had demons in their house in which case I went to the house to look for possible places they could be hanging out. Couldn't find any so I made suggestions of possible hangouts but all the time thinking, "there are no demons" except in our minds.
