Oct.15th WT- " Wanna Be Jesus Friend? Have to Support the Faithful Slave"

by flipper in

jw
friends

under the study article " you are my friends " ( indicating jesus naturally by his quote ) the wt society makes it very clear that the only way to be jesus friend is to come through them or else you won't be approved by jesus or god.

translation : friendship with jesus = treating the " faithful slave " kindly = jesus approving you.

our jw relatives will be studying this in december at their meetings.. under the subheading on pg.

Wow, good thing I have enough friends without worrying about that Jesus dude, he hangs with a tough crowd.

Back at the meetings for the past couple of weeks...

well, i made my move from puerto rico and have been staying with jw family for a few weeks now.

needless to say, they are as "into it" as ever before.

they started pioneering the first of september.

There is nothing on this earth that could induce me to go to a meeting. I have suffered enough abuse in my life time, with the permission of that cult. My family is so screwed up I can't even be around them, you can't have a normal conversation with any of them it all has to have something to do with the "truth" or a meeting or service or some other horse patootie. You must have the patience of a SAINT.

RUN! If you let that much out and think its just a little, staying much longer is going to get you to really speak your mind, that might be interesting. I think if you want to preserve any kind of relationship with them you should leave there for more than a visit, the guard is already up after what you said. If I had said that to my parents the JC would have me hauled in the very next day.

Documentary About The Flood and Noah's Ark

by Blue Grass in

about a week or two ago i watched a documentary about the flood in noah's day entitled "in search of noah's ark".

two things i found very interesting in this program is a theory that one person had about how they believed the flood was caused due to a meteor hitting the ocean creating a tsunami that flooded the entire earth.

scientist were unanimous in their view that this is a very plausible scenario and that there is no way to rule this possibility out.

AdaMakawee

Nope, just that you stated all men were liars and didn't mention womyn.

Unfortunately, Perry, men wrote the bible too. So you're up that infamous creek without a paddle, my friend. First you came on and told us about this unrefutable evidence, about you talking to the dinosaur man yourself and now you tell me that men are all liars. Sure is nice to be a womyn some days.

"Hey mom, I'm home!"

by dissed in

a jw called my wife to talk business yesterday, and voluntarily mentioned her son was living with them again.. now you have to understand, we have not associated with the jw's for 13 plus years.

so it took my wife by surprise that a jw, knowing our situation, would mention this.

but it gets better, there is more to this story.. she then volunteered, he's been living at home with them for over a year since.......bethel "re-assigned" him as she said sarcastically.. "how long was he at bethel?

AdaMakawee

I think your friend's venting is the first stirrings of her mind clicking over into the "on" position. Give her and her son time, they'll figure it out. Once your brain turns on you find it very difficult to shut it off again.

Oh, hey, I think I stepped into some t rex tissue on my way home tonight. Stinky stuff, isn't it? I know it was t rex tissue because this nice man told me so and he was a christian, so he wouldn't lie to me.

For those who accept the concept of "Race"

by TD in

jw
friends

--i personally don't, but it appears that many here unhesitatingly do.. for those that do, i'm honestly curious why you do.

is there a rational basis for the acceptance of the concept of "race" that can be tested?.

for example, here are eight people from eight ethnic groups.

AdaMakawee

You know if everyone was blind to race or this so called "concept" of race I'd say cool, no problem, I'm right there with you, my friends are a cross section of all those pictures above. Unfortunately I still hear jokes, hateful remarks, etc, often enough to know that this is still an issue. I wish it weren't. I'm caucasion, so they weren't aimed at me, but the problem of hatefulness against classes of people seems to be getting worse, not better. I don't know what that is. It isn't all about race, either. Some of the most hateful things I hear are aimed at gays.
