November Study WT "Train You Child to Love Going Door 2 Door"

by JW_Rogue in

been catching up on some jw reading and found a gem in the november study wt in the first article, paragraph #11:.

yet, you might look beyond the obvious and ask yourself, does my child enjoy the ministry or only the breaks?

if you discern that the ministry could be more interesting or more rewarding for your children, set goals with them.

To this day, the idea of Field Serve Us makes me cringe. Isn't it one of the least effective methods of reaching people? Just keep the R&F busy so they think they are doing God's work. Meanwhile, there are millions if not billions of people on this planet who have no idea who they are. And never will. This will always be the case. When I was a teenager back in the 1970s I did the math. The numbers didn't work out then. They still do not. Mathematically, 8 million JWs (?) cannot possibly witness to 8 billion people.

Insanity... doing the same things over and over expecting different results.

Did Jesus attend a "worldly celebration"?

by Westenddave in

hello community,.

my question in a nutshell is whether there is justification in celebrating worldly holidays, such as the 4th of july in the usa?.

let's look at a parallel.

Heaven

It has been stated a few times on this board that if Jesus were to return, he would be considered an apostate by Botchtower. Would he be a 'true JW'? Highly doubt it.

Interpretation of scripture is always in the best interest of the one doing the interpretation. Always look to the agenda of the interpreter.

As for celebrating, this scripture says you should not be judged by how you wish to celebrate:

Colossians 2:16: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. NIV

Wait! This is awesome! I can use this...

I once told an uncle of mine that I probably should have been born a man as I absolutely LOVE power tools. I can spend hours perusing these aisles in Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, or Home Depot.

Now, when the JWs come knocking I can tell them I'm borderline homosexual as I love power tools. I wonder if they'll skedaddle off my porch? BONUS!

Watchtower says in Paradise we will fly like Superman and so avoid accidents???!!

"negative gravitation.

you may have wondered how accidents will be avoided in jesus kingdom since we are told nothing will hurt or destroy.

Heaven

I remember when I was a kid my parents telling me that doing drugs was dangerous because it is a very real possibility you would have thoughts that you could fly. I believe there had been stories in the news at the time of kids doing PCP and thinking they could fly off roof tops and ended up killing themselves.

JWs should just say "No!" to drugs.

Dear Syrian Refugees

by Simon in

welcome to canada from one immigrant to another !.

calgary is welcoming it's first refugees from syria and iraq so tomorrow i'm going to take all the winter clothing that we have and donate it to a women / children's charity.

it's not much (well, actually, it's a huge pile ... everything from when we first moved over!

Heaven

prologos said: without them getting jobs., particularly jobs that Canadians are not qualified for, or are unwilling to accept, doctors in unprofitable areas, starting businesses related to their unique, middle east skills. their energy.

I do hope they are able to find work that they enjoy. If that is in areas where we have a shortage of skills then that would be an excellent fit. To have meaningful, enjoyable work is important for anyone. As for the food, count me in! Yuuuummmy!

Daniel you make an excellent point about location and circumstance. We are very fortunate to live in this country.

Years ago I worked with an Iranian student. He had fled Iran, escaping from the country. He was a very nice person, intelligent, a good worker, and very afraid for his life. He thought the Ayatollah Khomeni would come after him, drag him back, and torture him to death. I doubt many of us have had to live with this kind of fear.

I hope our new Syrian-Canadian citizens will be able to make a good life for themselves here. I worry a bit about their future. I have not heard of any plans past about 4 years. I am not sure we can sustainably support these many people without them getting jobs. I hope they will be able to integrate, use their skills, and if needed, get re-trained to do something they enjoy.

Same here LisaRose. I read the books when I was a kid and loved them!

While some have whinged on about the addition of the she-elf "Tauriel" in The Hobbit movies, I loved her character. She reminds me of me. Now I want to learn archery.

I have a replica of Aragorn's elvish knife and scabbard. It is very cool.
