Watchtower Logic
if a person who gets labelled as "apostate" says something truthful, yet, is unflattering or exposes the wt, it is automatically a lie......... because it came from an.... "apostate".... yet.... if the wt tells a lie, it is the "truth" just because it comes from the wt......and no-one checks to see if it is truthful...... is that right??

in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.
i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.
just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..
We love you Grace. You have to hang in there to see the fall of the Watchtower. Remember millions now living will never die so don't go anywhere yet.

I wonder if her boys were raised in the truth

down near the bottom of this article, a neighbor of ariel castro's mother reveals that dear old mom is a dub.
bet this won't become a part on a assembly..
I wonder if the boys were raised in the truth
what about all the other 1,001 times you prayed for an intervention/blessing, and didn't get it?
did you think you were "bad" or just figure god was too busy to bother with you?.
just lois.
I always prayed for wisdom and it worked because I finally got wise enough to get out of this stupid religion.
Thank you Jokehova for answering my prayer.
whenever i here that name, maybe in conversation with someone who doesnt know my past, i feel anger welling up instantly inside me.. if there were a jw in sight, i think i could give him a jolly good shaking.. just hearing that name does things to me.. jesus = love.
jehovah = hate, selfishness, divisiveness, and domineering manipulation.. so much for jdubs "honoring " his name.
he's sure got a bad reputation based on how they live their lives..
That's funny because I want to feel like (big mac) "it doesn't mean anything different to him then mickey mouse or batman" but it does give me a tad bit of upset so I try to stay away from anything about it.
It really bugs me when my granddaughter says it, which is rare. She's 5 and a half.

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.

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

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, 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.
