are you storing treasure in heaven?

by StopTheTears in

the bible tells us to lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.

this is true wealth.

so many people have departed from the christian faith because of love for money, whether it be paper money, gold and silver, real estate, et cetera.

NOLAW

I only store my bones and worry about nothing.

Witnesses are told to "politely leave the territory"

by passwordprotected in

anyone got any idea what's going on with the wtbts legal department these days?.

witnesses are now told to leave the territory if told by a law enforcement office to do so.. how does this square with harold king?.

and can someone remind me of the name of the woman (in china?

NOLAW

Nothing has changed. We did that decades ago too. We simply continued our preaching in a different building or territory.

If it really was Satan trying to enslave us...

by WTWizard in

jw
friends

numerous churches go around trying to blame the current agenda 21+ on satan.

they claim that satan is trying to get the banks to totally enslave us so we can be bar-coded and live like animals.. now, here is the question.

if satan was doing this, then where are all the churches trying to ask all their members to skip $5 of donations for one session, and put that money into buying silver?

Watchtower Dec 2011 Makes fun of fools who think the end is 2012. Ironic??

Nothing wrong with the fire. now if they slipped those mummies etc in the image with Satan-well the theme of the illustration allows for it. So do not complain about it.

Passing out invites after the meeting

by 2tone in

there was an experience i had at the kingdom hall not to long ago.. my family was hosting a party or some sort.

i had to hand out a couple invites after the meeting.

they were sealed in envelopes.

NOLAW

Even marriage invitations are not allowed! You have to distribute them outside the KH! But most elders will not say anything. As for those who complain ignore them and f*** them!

My son was murdered today

by truman in

i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

NOLAW

My deepest sympathy too.

What's the JW reaction to new 16 page mags????

by diamondiiz in

if you've been to the meeting when the letter was read, what was jw reaction????

just curious if it was just another sign that the end is nearer or did any wake up for a second to realize the corporation is downsizing due to costs..

NOLAW

biometrics:

I imagine when some go to collect their mags they'll notice, then they'll go back to the literature counter (20 mins later) and ask why the magazines are so thin. ... or maybe not?

No! Their IQ isn't so high to do 'advanced maths' (=count the pages of the magazine).

They'll go back to the literature counter (20 mins later) and ask why he gave them only half of their order.

How to counter a stupid illustration in the Bible Teach Book

by NVR2L8 in

the bible teach book uses the example of a math teacher who is challenged by a student who disagrees on how to resolve a math problem.

the teacher then lets him attempt to prove his point knowing that he can only fail.

the object of the exercise is to show the rest of the students that the teacher is right - that there is only one way to resolve the math problem....this is likened to jehovah letting satan exercise his power over the world so that the entire universe can witness his failure and that only jehovah's ways lead to happiness.... instead of maths, what if the teacher taught chemistry and a student would want to prove that the teacher is wrong when he says that certains chemicals can't be mixed without causing an explosion that would wipeout the school...would any sane, responsible, loving teacher allow such a student to experiment and wipeout the whole class just so the teacher can prove he was right?

NOLAW

Ops! A mathematical problem can have more than one solutions. So the student could solve it. So Satan and Adam may be not wrong at the end... LOL
