  Witnessing to Witnesses: Flawed Doctrine or WT Misdeeds?

  by imallgrowedup in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when we witness to witnesses, what is the most important thing we should talk to them about first - flawed doctrine, or watchtower misdeeds such as the un, child molestation, etc.?

  what's your game plan, or what worked on you?

  inquiring minds want to know!

  Flawed doctrines did it for me. If a JW does something wrong, it is allways explained away by saying that we are "imperfect", and that we must "put up with each other in Love". Even if doctrines are changing, again its the light "getting brighter" and all that BS.

  But it was the foundation of 1914 and the pyramids that opened my eyes and made me see everything from a new angle, and how marvelous I feel since then. I saw 1 cor4:4 from a new direction. But I do understand that yuo mean, i haven't being able to tell someone successfully yet, if I came stright out with it , then I get DFed as an apostate.

  why is it that if a man passes by at the mall or grocery store toting a baby or little kids along gets all kinds of admiring looks from strangers?

  especially if he puts the kid in one of those baby pouch thingys....geez he may as well be a god.

  if he has toddlers and they are acting up its not his fault hes doing the best he can after all.

  Flower. Are you married? You sound like a Man-Hater. You certainly seem to have a chip on your shoulder.

  with Love. Rick

  I think you're being silly. Look at all the crap men have had to take from society and the "Supermum", for decades men have being looked as just money earners, if the Mother and children could get financial support from somewhere else then the father would not be needed. Its only in the past 10years that the roll of the father is being recognized.

  Why not put the ball in his park and ask him, "Where did Charles russel get 607 from?" and keep in mind that we don't want the WTS just trying to disprove 587 as they seem to just do with the "Kingdon come " Book. But insist on wanting to know where did Charles russel get it from way back in 1900's.

  ANd what did the CO say to you. you said that he shoot you down, but how? and if you would've convinced him, he'll just DF you anyway.

  Micheal Jackson's Kids/Mixed Heritage

  by Ariell in

  2. friends

  i just wanted to clear something up about micheal's kids being biracial since i see people commenting on it a lot on this board and others.

  fyi, mixed kids don't always come out looking mixed.

  sometimes a mixed child will come out looking black, and not white at all.

  I don't think its about genetics. I think its about a guy who is ashamed of his race. He wouldn't even admit to having his color changed. He just says.."I've changed...It was a natural part of growing up" When asked what race are you he answered "Ask God" He has some serious problems between his ears. A DNA test will solve all those questions, but I'm sure he'll aviod those, just like prince henry will. hehehe

  1917:" the finished mystery"is the first and only book that makes "clear"every part of rvelation and ezekiel.

  wtr,1 oct.1917,6150.. 1930:prior to 1930 there "never was"a satisfactory ( note:the words,never was and satisfactory now replaces the word clear )explanation of the revelation published,the manifest reason being it was not god's due time for his servants to have an understanding thereof...( notice what comes next )it now seems"clear"that is god's due time for his servants to understand that great prophecy so long clothed in mystery.rutherford,vindication i ( 1930 ),5-6.. and this is the book that amazing has on his recent governing body topics,where-in they claim that they were appointed the faithful and discreet slave of jesus back in 1919,yet in 1930 they say that they never had a clear understanding of this for it was not god's due time.so no one was appointed back then as a faithful and discreet slave.. neither did the events claimed in the book to have been fulfilled during the period of 1918 ---1925 ever happen!.

  Would YOU Have REALLY Died For Your Brother or Sister???

  since jws say they would do the ultimate and actually die for their brother, was that something that you honestly feel that you would have done?

  Actually the Apostle PAUL answered your Question, he said " NO ONE will die for a rightous man, maybe for a good man someone dares to die"

  When Jesus spoke those words, he said "No greater Love does a man have then to die for his freinds" and many in the WTS boast about the Love they have, and how they will die for their brothers. I have found this to be BULL. Its just another way of them boasting about themselves, they won't help you when your alive.

  Firstly, you didin't tell us how old are your children. Secondly, If i was you, I'll do what i could to get myself reinstated, as the saying go's "talk the talk and walk the walk". Suck up to the elders and tell them what they want to hear yuo don't have to mean it, and then when your inreinstated, just cool off, little or no meeting, and of course no witnessing. Do it for your kids. It will never end. I still play the game because of my wife and kids. Its not so hard.

  I know my advice will piss some off.
