  Contribution Boxes At The Book Groups , Did You Donate More There Than The Hall ?

  by Hairyhegoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this may have been covered a few years back but the thought came to me just how much money the wathtower lost in contributions when they got rid of the book study groups in witnesess homes.

  my book group was at my parents house and as it was always full, over 30 drones every tuesday night.

  this caused mayhem in the road outside with all the cars double parking etc... the jw's at my group always put loads of wonga into the tin on the welsh dresser!

  I was told that some Smurfs had actually killed somebody. A sisters husband I think and she was going to prison unless she could prove the Smurfs did it. They evidently kept quiet about it.

  you spent months,years or even decades as a christian.you sacrificed everything for god,gave him everything you had,you would speak every day for him to others and would live as a person dedicated to god.what did you receive in return after all your efforts?did he help you when you were in need?if yes,are you 100% sure that he was the one who helped you?could you feel his holy spirit in your life?.

  p.s:this topic has nothing to do with the org.

  i am talking exclusively about god and your relationship with him.

  What do I mean?

  I mean that I had experiences along with my family of supernatural experiences where doors, windows were opened and lights were switched on things were seen and heard and a presence was felt in the house for some months. Contrasting that with God and him being supernatural.

  With God. I don't think it is our place to question him as to why he has or hasn't done anything. Maybe I am still alive because of him. At times I have felt my prayers were answered. The thing is whether we lose our faith or not. The Apostle Paul along with many others recorded in the scriptures suffered many things. Unyet Christ said God knows whether a bird of little value dies or not and aren't you worth more than that. If I were to give an example of how God helped me do you think it would make any difference. Anymore than my experiences of the supernatural will make.

  "So delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyze or describe." That was the definition I googled on the word "subtle." I felt that was appropriate for how God has helped me.

  The power of God in my life is that I still believe.

  excuse me so called holy spirit directed governing body; what do you do when you discover that a long term hospital liaison committee elder who gives talks at all1 day assemblies, 2 day assemblies & district assemblies and is quite prominent n the victorian/nsw circuit, is addicted to pornography, particularly under age and bestiality porno?

  and oh, if you have print outs of his internet log ins and internet history fully detailing his log ins from his work computer???

  and im not talking breach of privacy, im talking his breach of work usage of computers, of which im in charge of the it.

  Ask him to consider his own hypocrisy, and that he can't hide that from God

  I have often wondered if those in higher positions actually believe in God and if that is not the reason there are so many atheists on this board who served in positions as JW's

  You really have to wonder, this notion of "victims of victims" sounds awfully like an excuse for people who liked to dominate other people claiming they were doing it for God. Then when they can't get their own way they leave. Some are repentant, others show their love of God by their total rejection.
