  "Do not hold back good if it is in the power of your hand" Prov 3:27

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was musing over this scripture at proverbs 3:27.

  "do not hold back good from those to whom it is due , if it is in the power of your hand to do so".

  this passage has often been used to show that if we have the means, or opportunity to do good, or to assist others in need, we should act.

  sorry, i had no idea what to title this!.

  i was speaking to a sister this week via email and i said i was appalled by anthony morris's recent talk in trinidad and tobago when he said if you haven't been in the ministry for two weeks god looks down on your hands and what does he see?

  he sees blood and you will lose your life.

  Reflecting On The JW Version Of You

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  lately i've been thinking over how far i've come over the last 2.5 years since leaving the cult.

  when i first left i remember not knowing who i really was and what my beliefs and values were.

  previously my values and beliefs were dictated to me the the governing body in watchtower magazines.. i'm politically active, being a member of a political party and i'm even considering running in my local election in a few years.. when it comes to religion, im an atheist who has little time for superstition and "god did it" answers to complex questions.

  2018 Regional (District) Convention Outlines

  by AverageJoe1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so the official program is out but does anyone have access to the actual outlines for the assembly this year in english and/or spanish?.

  maybe the gb are clamping down on their "high-up" leaks within the organisation and the circuit overseers making these available have been kicked or had to no longer leak material for fear of getting themselves discovered by the wt gestapo..

  EMDR Therapy Anyone?

  by Brian J in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  two+ months into marital counseling for my wife (pimi) and i (pimo).

  wife after decades of marriage decides for the first time to bring up separation due to, drum-roll please...... absolute endangerment of spiritual life.

  a spouse may constantly try to make it impossible for the mate to pursue true worship or may even try to force that mate to break god’s commands in some way.

  Apparently the giving of "judgement messages" is not a theoretical scenario

  by GTSfromSY in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember when the (in)famous "bunker videos" were releases there was some non-witness exposure on a few sites and most of them commenting on how scary and very culty it sounded and all the idiotic wt apologist were quick to point out that it was "only theoretical", "it's possible it could happen like that" and other assorted flavors of steer manure.. well apparently not so because i just sat through the upcoming convention videos, and review footage of the last assembly, watch the last two months worth of "meetings" (*vomit*) and studied up on all the recent new wt releases and all the talk being throwing around now is all on some gog of magog this, judgement messages this, judgement messages that, "we're about to get persecuted!!!

  ; some of us are going to die; the nations are about to turn against us even in developed countries; blah blah blah.

  even the recorded baptismal talk i heard from the last assembly had a speaker that was telling the suckers....er...i mean the baptismal candidates to be willing and expect possible death, and to a good number of young preteen people i may add (outrageous!!!).

  Falcon Heavy

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  the falcon heavy is set to launch today.

  if successful, it will become the most powerful rocket in use (twice as powerful as the delta heavy).. as it's the very first attempt, elon musk has said he thinks there's a 50/50 chance of it not blowing up.

  so should be interesting.

  Questions from readers: Pillow talk

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't believe they came out with this.... question from readers: should a youth who struggles with masturbation sleep with a pillow?.

  you young people know that it is wise to make such restrictions, especially during "the bloom of youth.

  " (1 corinthians 7:36).
