New to The Jehovahs Witness Faith and need some help

by jnjburkett in

hello there i am new to the faith and have been studying for about a month.

i am very excited and hungry for the truth and have not missed a meeting or study since the memorial.

we do about 2 bible studies a week.

I want to welcome you here and hope and pray that you have found some help.

Also, I want to know if you pray for your husband,brother,and people in authority and government?

How about the kingdom hall, are they praying for government? People in office? Or do they think it is the Governing Body? See how they will twist following scriptures to mean WT Governing Body! So that is a red flag!

JW do not ever pray for presidents or officers! In fact do they pray for anyone outside the religion!

You have a problem because it goes against the bible. No matter what you are welcome here.

Romans 13:1 ESV /

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

1 Timothy 2:1-15 ESV

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ.

yup, the apostate is happy.

i shouldn't be, right, because my life is empty without "jehovah" and the organisation.. but i just got a job at one of the best theme parks in the world, which is so what i want to do, and it's the first permanent job i've had since i lost my government job in 2012!.

the job pays minimum wage but i don't care because working in tourism and entertainment is what i want to do!

That is wonderful! Wish you the very best!

just to let everyone know, a good channel on youtube that i have watched for many years has suddenly been terminated by youtube.

im not sure what video was the issue, his last video was on the occult theocracy book, and others.

i dont really know how his channel got in trouble, as i dont remember him having any videos that could be considered copyright infringments as they are all personal commentary.. interesting.

sarahsmile

Just watched one, she was placed on hold and never got her answer!

This one was the next video it very good! Lol! I can read that book several times and there are always another error!

There might be life on other planets! Who knows!

Not too sure what they would look like but NOVA made some assumptions. Really cool stuff!

Well what the hell, I love Sci-fi fake documentaries. Just wish they could do a better job!

I sometimes wonder if it started with fallen angels fables! Hmm,I should go look it up on YouTube again just for fun!

LOL! Just got such a kick out of reading the replies "mermaids" sounds like something an older JW would say! Lol, V "nice troll" too funny!

"I saw it on t.v. last week" Crazy typical JW thinking! That is a good example of their mind set! Brought back old memories listening to many JWs conversation.

I am not too sure what is worse believing in aliens or listening to crazy JWs talk! I think JWs win.

First Post - Emotionally Torn

by scaredtospeak in

i haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.

i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .

i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

Yes, parents really know how to make you feel guilty!

I remember how much my mother threw guilt trips on me for wanting to go to another church.

Parents will control you until they realize you are making your own decisions.

Later, they might look at you with disappointment but will say it is your choice and they love you. If not let them know.

Just stick to your choices for now, because it is not like things do not change.

Evolution or Creation are not life! They are just topics. It is not a matter of life or death to question or doubt Creation.

Your parents made their choices and you have the right to make your own choices.

Ignore the guilt trips, I am sure your parents will have plenty more to sling.

Better that you were honest.

once again I am convinced these people are deranged

just heard from my daughter,her husbands mother has just sent him a text to tell him his grandmother has died.

no telephone call,no visit.

his crime?

sarahsmile

Steve 2 good point, 10 million Sudan might die before the years up! Emotional abuse of the WT can not ever compare with physical starvation.

Individual JW allow the WT to control them to shun their families. Some would throw their family away even if they were not JWs. That is reality. People have a choice and hid behind rules.

Most the JW snub each other all the time with clicks and petty disagreements!

Deranged, lol! True! They were mentally ill people in society before they became JWs. Nothing normal about JWs.

C.T. Russel IS burried UNDER the pyramid

by FFtruther144 in

russel is burried under the pyramid.

according to none other than frederick franz himself, in his own words!.

i read some wt trolls on here trying to say that he is under the marker a few feet away.. that is not true.

sarahsmile

Alphaman your right!

But they also thought they were fullfilling the old Iserealites festivals as a type.

You want to have a God laugh find Rutherfords old book Jehovah. Big joke!

You might want to read a little of the Divine Plan Of The Ages just so you can see how the Bible Students thought. After all Russell is channelling for Jehovah's Witness. I had to ask my self many times," What did Charles Russell channel, or what was light."

Something else, growing up I looked forward to Franz talks! He was one of the better speakers after him it went down hill.

Also, no one realized that they were following Israelite festivals. Those long eight day assemblies were very hard on large families.

Back to the subject, it does make you wonder about Crazy Russell burial. He is probably under that pyramid. Franz would know! Good point!
