  2. friends

  had enough asked :.

  if you haven't already related to us the experiences at bethel that you told to your mom-in-law, (or even if you already have told us) could you tell us about what you told her.....and...what is "g-jobbing" (sorry for my naivity) .

  i didn't want to take away from sl post about his mother but i thought a little insight into the world of the bethelites would be interesting this am.

  *** g94 11/8 20 have i committed the unforgivable sin?

  masturbation is an unclean habit.

  (2 corinthians 7:1) however, the bible does not class it with serious sins such as fornication.

  We all agree, Angel. For instance, you'll notice I always ignore his posts, even if directed at me. Don't feed the troll, and all that. Unfortunately, some people still can't resist his easy target and he gets to hijack many threads as a result.

  If nobody ever responded, his influence would die right out.

  thought you all would enjoy this.. i went to a b'day party for a friend who is a bible-thumper in the worst way!

  (10x worse than most jw).. i'm sitting around like a zombie while everyone is talking about how "blessed" they are to "know christ" blah blah blah blah blah.. then my interest got peaked as one of the women started quoting scripture talking about how the reason her life is blessed is that her great great grandmother was a russian mennonite blah blah blah and the bible says that god will bless your offspring if you come to know him.

  blah blah blah.. so i start asking a few well placed questions like "well what does that mean for the poor muslim sop whose great great grandmother was a muslim?

  So I guess I should have asked you then; Do you believe in the Bible?

  No. Do you believe the Qu'ran?

  class distinctions

  by teejay in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a question and then i will allow the reader to reflect or respond.

  i do not expect to respond to any posts here.. are there class distinctions on jw.com?.

  if so, should those of the "high class" be allowed to run roughshod over the feelings of those deemed "low class at will?".

  First of all, Todd, you appear to have been so sneaky that you forgot you ended your original post with this statement:

  "I'm just asking a question here,..."

  "a" question, you said, so you have no right to accuse others of ignoring the second, non-bolded question.

  As for your thoughts on class distinctions, yes they do occur among groups throughout nature. However, this only happens if you let it happen to you. Just don't accept whatever class someone tries to assign to you. You Know routinely calls me a sneak and a liar. I'm neither, so I ignore his foolishness and go on with my life.

  All this name-calling is pointless and needless. But it takes TWO to have name-calling be effective. If you reject it, it loses all its power.

  Famous Last Words

  by You Know in

  the great depression had more to do with shaping the character and defining the last century than any other event, except the great wars that caused and followed the depression.

  the structure of the financial system though has radically changed since that time, in that it is many times larger, global in fact, and it is much more fragile and complex, in that it reacts nearly instantaneously to various factors.

  the average person is now much more dependent upon and indebted to the system as well.

  You, like so many others, are obviously trusting in a delusion.

  Self-referential irony left as an exercise for the reader.

  Blessings and love to you, sweet one.

  You can leave off the compliments when talking to me. I'm sure you mean well, but I'm not your sweet one. Just say, "Seeker" and move on to your argument and we'll get along better. Thank you.

  I have provided many bible passages, I think in another thread, actually, to show the truth that Jesus is Lord and GOD.

  How about, to keep things short, Rev. 1, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1 John 8:56,58, 1John 5:7, just to name a few examples.

  That doesn't prove Jesus is Lord any more than Hindu writings prove to you that Vishnu is Lord. What makes the Bible right and all other holy writings wrong?

  Do you believe that there is only ONE LORD and ONE GOD?

  No evidence either way, therefore I say, I don't know.

  Dino aside, I think you do more harm than good by linking to such obvious nonsense. Some rocks are better left alone instead of turning them over to see what is crawling underneath. Active JWs will see these garbage sites and assume that "all apostates are liars."

  People have told me time and time again that they cannot accept that Jesus is God, but they will not back up their statements. They can only say that they do not like the idea.

  Wrong.

  I would have no problem accepting Jesus as God -- if there was any evidence for this. There is none. No one has ever provided any, just platitudes, wishes, hopes, and harangues. I could just as easily say to you:

  "People have told me time and time again that they cannot accept that Vishnu is God, but they will not back up their statements. They can only say that they do not like the idea."

  If you now do no accept that Vishnu is God, I can only assume that you do not like the idea.

  ROFL! What doubletalk!

  1. Freedom from fear

  "Don't buy that dish from the garage sale, it might be demonized! Don't watch that program, it might be demonized! Don't read that web site, it might have apostate material!"

  2. Freedom from self we are in some cases our own worst enemy.

  Freedom from self? Is that another way of saying you give up your individuality in order to be part of a cult?

  3. Freedom from others-don't need to worry about what other people think about us.

  "Brother Elder, why can't I wear a beard? Jesus had one."

  "Because it might make some in the territory uncomfortable."

  "Brother Elder, why do we care about what other people think about us?"

  4. Freedom from sin

  "You are not doing enough, you need to do more. You need to improve the quality of your ministry. You are imperfect sinners. What you have done is what you ought to have done. Do you harbor any secret sins? Hmmm? Do you?"

  Sorry, Jan, but given your past history, I'm afraid you get a shorter lease than most. It's not fair, but that's just the way it is. If you grab an email for anything other than asking a question of the poster to get more info, it's harvesting. For you, that's harvesting. Sorry, but that's reality for you.
