  How does that Scripture go.............

  'Expectation makes the heart sick!'

  No Armageddon yet, no destruction of apostates yet, no new order (world) yet, no end of the preaching work yet, blah, blah, blah....

  Went to a JW wedding and when the bride and her father started to dance, he dropped dead on the dance floor. Needless to say, things went down hill for the rest of the wedding, dinner, dancing, etc. Many just left as soon as they could. Nice memories of your wedding huh?

  Conversations with a True Believer

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  nothing makes one happier to be out of religious crap that a conversation with a true believer.. it all started innocently enough.

  we talked about music.

  he said i probably knew nothing about music and that he was a former disk jockey.

  Does God direct the WTBS through Holy Spirit?

  by Honesty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower society and/or the governing body of jehovah's witnesses claim that god is directing them (may 1, 1961 watchtower magazine page 274 paragraph 11).. .

  they say that it is vital that jw's appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the slave as they would to the voice of god, because it is his provision (june 15, 1957 watchtower magazine page 370 paragraph 7) and that only people with independent and rebellious spirits ignore the fact that god is directing them (june 1, 1985 watchtower magazine page 18 paragraph 12).

  they also claim that that jehovah is directing their steps by means of his holy spirit (may 1, 1961 watchtower magazine page 274 paragraph 11).

  Do you complicate life/things more than need be?

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just know some people that tend to complicate issues a hellofa lot more than they really are.

  they tend to make mountains out of mole hills, blow things out of proportion, worry far more than is necessary.. i don't understand why they 'thrive' on this type of lifestyle as it isn't healthy, definately not relaxing and they look like they are on edge and just can't be quiet.. are you one of those that complicates things more than they have to be?

  or do you keep it simple.. lou - of the uncomplicated class..

  My very first talk on the Ministry School was when I was about 13. When I looked up my JW cousin was at the back of the hall holding up a sign that said 'Zipper'.

  How could I discreetly check it out? I really didn't need too.

  Interpret this dream?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  not that i subscribe to that sort of thing - but this one was very wierd.. i was in a glass house - or at least there was mostly glass all around.

  there was a vehicle pulled up close to one of the doors, and a woman was yelling that she needed to come inside because the buffalo were chasing her.

  i looked down the hill and saw two thin buffalo, and when they saw me they charged up to the entrance of the house, preventing me from opening the door to the woman.

  I think it might have something to do with the 'March of the Western World Powers'!

  everyone has something to teach us.

  station in life, wealth, position, power, or lack of all of that, everyone has something to teach us.

  even the watchtower society, and the homeless and the druggies.

  Glad that worked that way for you, but sometimes religion gets in the way for any normality to occur.
