  well it's that time of year again and the invitations to another pointless memorial aka reject jesus party is now in full swing.

  even though it's only the first day i'm already more than sick of it!

  this is the first year i am fully mentally awake for the memorial season, and honestly i'm so sick of it all!

  Who did Jesus command to preach, the anointed or the great crowd?

  when one becomes filled with the knowledge of the promised earthly paradise under christ's kingdom, one wants to share it with others.

  it is good news!acts 5:41, 42.. doing this is an important way of showing that you are a disciple of jesus christ.

  in the bible, jesus is called "the faithful and true witness.

  Can anyone prove that birthday celebrations are forbidden by God?

  by FaithfulBrother in

  2. beliefs

  i know that there is no mention of any birthday celebrations in the bible besides the two which were celebrated by non-believers.

  and it just so happened that on each of these events, someone died (one non-believer and one believer).

  but does it mean that just because the bible mentions these two events, that all birthday celebrations are forbidden?

  Argument against "Self Glorification". If one is using that as a principle, you certainly cannot condone celebrating an anniversary where not one but two people are "praised" for another year together. Also, don't forget to throw away those pagan wedding rings.

  The "invisible" Elephant in the room: ELDERLY JW's nobody provides for

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  question: how does the leadership of jehovah's witnesses instruct its members to prepare for the eventual elder care of its members?.

  answer: it pretends it will never happen!.

  is this responsible leadership or some kind of cognitive dissonant malfeasance?.

  Terry; Right on the mark again. So much for identifying the "true" religion by the love shown to the aged and penniless it created. They could care less. A shameful mess created by a manmade religion too busy saving it's own ass. Those of you elderly still in, you have my sympathy.

  Welcome 007; I too believe many core teachings. I think the WTSB is a classic example of " a little bit of knowledge being a dangerous thing". I think the answer as to where to go is more of when to go. As has been well documented, 1914 wasn't the beginning or ending of anything. That being the case, one could make the arguement that God's intervention into man's affairs has not begun & the "last generation" ain't this one. (Most likely the next one either) Until then, I shall Live Well......Enjoy Life. Welcome to the forum.

  Random thoughts about the organization. In 20 years.....

  many people will scoff at the thought that the org will collapse.

  i agree that it will never collapse but the crumbling has begun.

  think about the following.....they have a serious lack of potential future leaders.

  What a sweet irony. The WT has predicted the fall of false religion never realizing they were at the head of the line.
