I have to spend three days in an assembly ( well I will sleeping in the car) while they trash higher education when my wife is putting 100 a paycheck in my son's collage fund .
It seems like such Bullshit we even have to go.

So UBM here.
i have a jw wife who in 10 years of marriage I have never seen actually read the bible, never given a witness to me, never had a biblical discussion. For a number of years now hardly even reads the magazines. I pick her after meetings and ask her what she learned and she changes the subject.
I was raised in the church and without being very religous , I like to think I have some idea of the bible narrative. I have been told by witnesses they are impressed with my biblical knowledge level, yet they have no interest in talking to me about biblical matters once they find out I am not completely ignorant of bible theology.
Getting back to my wife. Every saturday morning, Sunday morning , Tuesday day, assembly and circuit overseer visit. It's s complete dog and pony show . Outside of the complete obedience to the governing body , my wife is an absolute fraud . It's just shocking how much time is wasted for nothing.
My question, how many witnesses live like this.

Isaiah 43:10 "You are my witnesses," declares Jehovah, "Yes, my servant whom I have chosen, So that you may know and have faith in me And understand that I am the same One ( I am he ). Before me no God was formed, And after me there has been none.
I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he. (John 13:19,
The verse you quote in Isaiah actually says I AM HE like Jesus says in the new testament.

I have always found it odd they refer to themselves as Jehovah witness instead of just Christians. Just the fact they think of themselves as a complete different religion.
I grew up Pentecostal and we just thought of other churches as our fellow brothers in Christ , unless they were one of the cults.
As for the statement Jehovah and Jesus completely trust the slave, so should you ? Wow that is just disgusting . Just wow.

Do You Think The Bible Teaches A Trinity As Religions Teach?
by minimus ini’m not asking whether you believe in the bible.
i just want your opinion as to whether you think the bible teaches it.
i don’t, for what it’s worth..

The trinity is like the Star Wars movies. In Star Wars and the Empire strikes back you think Darth Vader is the baddest dude in the Galaxy . Its not till Return of the Jedi you realize it was the Emperor.
The new testament is the slow realization that Jesus was that second touchable, seeable manifestion of god in the old testament. Its not a simple concept and you have a to have an understanding of the entire bible as a whole, not just selectively reading verses, to really see it.
I have found it to be a real waste of time trying to explain it here.

Liberal arguments against the pro life types on late term abortions.
1. Republicans don't care once the baby is born and the mother. And I am like yes they do a poor job. We need to do better.
2. Late term abortions for elective reasons are rare. And I am like I hope so but it doesn't change the fact it happens and is terribly ghoulish. The fact it is rare doesn't mean it shouldn't be illegal.

Was Russell "that" Faithful and Wise Servant?
by Sea Breeze in"from this it is clearly seen that the editor and publisher of zion's watch tower disavowed any claim to being individually, in his person, that "faithful and wise servant.
" he never did claim to be such," ("god's kingdom of a thousand years has approached," 1973, p. 346).. or this?.
"thousands of the readers of pastor russell's writings believe that he filled the office of 'that faithful and wise servant,' and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season.

The parable of the faithful slave is just a moral lesson about living a moral life because no one knows when Jesus will return. There are both risks and rewards to not obeying god.
That's it.
no ctr, no earthly hopers and heavenly hopers, no annoited class. nada, nothing

Has anyone ever ran into a pro choice JW? I have before.
It's not that they were for abortion but just the idea of the government telling me what I can do with my body.
Then it was.....oh blood transfusions.
It weird how the JW legal department uses roe vs wade in the complexities of pregnant JW women.

I don't consider myself a hardcore conservative and i do understand there are desperate women in desperste situations but FFS some of these laws the democrats are trying to pass are just ghoulish.
Do people not understand or are they really that morally rotted.
