Tonight I disassociated myself - after 24 years - had 2 hour meeting with Elder

by Intel in

i am now sitting at home.

my wife left with my little child.

my fault (i dislike the word "fault", but don't have a better one right now).. it feels strange, relieved and free, at the same time it was all very strange.

if joel osteen says so, it must be right.

Guys!! Guys!!! Two Jehovah's Witnesses were just at my door!!

and of course, i had some fun with them... an older, brunette woman who obviously dyes her hair and could stand to lose a bit of weight, and a slim blonde teenage girl - probably around 15 - 17.... i started out by asking them if they knew how old the bible was.... .

(and unfortunately, i think i demonstrated that i wouldn't make a very good "undercover" bible study prospect... .

but they didn't even know how old - young - the bible was!!.

well done!

i wonder how many hours of contra-preaching are needed to convert a JW. in a german forum i read that a publisher needs to do about 94,000 hours of field service to convert -1 (minus one) new publisher

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold

by TimothyT in

can someone explain this scripture to me:.

and i have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those also i must bring, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.

(john 10:16).

there was a brother in my congregation when i was a boy (has been disfellowshipped now for many years) who was one of those guys who would always meet all the beauties in the conventions. once he talked to one nice sister and he said something like, i gotta go now, ya know, i still have other sheep that i have to shepherd.

so i guess jesus referred to some chicks he knew apart from maria magdalena.

Judas and Unforgivable Sin

by corpusdei in

i'll be the first to admit that i haven't done the research on this one, and i can't remember the answer from my jw days - but there's something bothering me about the scenario of judas and his betrayal of jesus.. considering that the betrayal of jesus by judas was foretold in prophecy, it was essentially set in stone.

it was going to happen, it was an absolute because divine prophecy is correct.

judas had to betray jesus in order to fulfil prophecy.. now, i've always personally believed that a person does not sin by an act that they cannot avoid, but this seems like kind of the motherload of standing on the traintracks.
