Matthew 5:9

by Snoozy in

matthew 5:9 says:.

blessed are the peacemakers:for they shall be called the children of god.. and yet when i looked it up in the nwt it says:.

happy are the peaceable, since they will be called the 'sons of god.

So the Sheriff's/Police are actually "Children of God"..

Who do the JW's say runs the government?..

Snoozy..

Quote:"Witnesses believe that Satan is the ruler of the current world order, [ 154 ] that human society is influenced and misled by Satan and his demons, and that they are a cause of human suffering. [However, they do not believe that individual rulers or governments are under Satan's direct control"]

I found this interesting because that wasn't the impression I had growing up a witness..
I did however know a witness lady that defied the witnesses and her alcoholic husband , whom the witnesses said she had to be submissive to when he beat her, became a security guard until she was required to have a gun..she ended up leaving the witnesses and getting a gun permit..got a job and left her pathetic wife beating alcoholic husband..found a new love and lived happily ever after..

Gotta love those peacemakers..

The point was that the Sheriff's association uses it to represent themselves as they are "Peacemakers"..This is one of their motto's on their site. I thought it cute because I couldn't see the JW bible putting anything in their bible that may indicate god would say the 'Peacemakers"..could possibly be 'children of god'..since they work for the Government..

http://www.modeputy.org/ (Bottom of page it quotes Matt 5:9)

I did find a few more references that showed other bible translaters used the wording like the JW's NWT but not many.

Matthew 5:9 Says:
Blessed are the peacemakers:for they shall be called the children of God.

And yet when I looked it up in the NWT it says:
Happy are the Peaceable, since they will be called the 'sons of god.'

I was looking up info on the Sheriff Association as they have been calling a lot and saw this quote on their website..thought I would look it up as I wondered what the JW's would do with that scripture..

Disgusting talk about disfellowshipped children...

http://www.archive.org/details/spirituallydeadchildren.

you have to be fucking kidding me... this is mind control at it's best.

encouraging parents to ignore their kids who have left the jw's and blaming the kids themselves for the rift that's caused.

I will see this in my sleep...

Zid has to say "goodbye"... For now...

by ziddina in

jw
friends

my computer-support service has checked my computer because it's been rather "glitchy" lately, and the hard drive is failing.... so, i'll end up being cut-off from the board, for a while.... some of you have my personal phone number, if you need to get in touch.... **********************************************************************.

here's something else that's been bothering me.... we're going to fly out to see the in-laws soon - and i'm very uneasy about flying.... if something should happen to me, could you people please help find good homes for my animals???

they are all indoors animals, have been spayed/neutered, and are pretty good with dogs.... there are six cats - the seventh one, minx, will have to be "put down", as she is slowly dying of feline leukemia, and is far too "high-maintenance" for anyone else to care for.... but there's chomper - a neutered male, six-toed cat, somewhat feral but ferociously loyal to anyone who will be patient with him - and feed him wet food... he's a big, short-haired grey-and-black tabby... unfortunately, in the process of the hard-drive decay, my computer no longer recognizes my crappy printer, and so i can't load a pix of chomper... but he's a big cutie!!.

What is it with cats and electrical cords? My daughters cat chewed through one of their Christmas tree light cords..luckily it was unplugged as a precaution while they were asleep.

Her kitty is also Tiger Lily..

More and more shunning going on?

by Snoozy in

is it just me or does it seem like there are more posts about shunning than usual?.

i take it that between the ex jw's and the internet the jw's are having a hard time holding on to their people.

of course they don't want their people anywhere around someone that might wise them up to what the jw's are doing to them..striving to keep them as isolated as possible.. if that isn't a cult i don't know what is.. i feel so sad for family member that are going throught this and unable to be with their loved ones because of some idiot religion that seems to appeal to some ..it must fulfill some need in their life.

Snoozy

I am shunned by my non JW daughter...I cut her money supply off..no more handouts..she cut me off..

Snoozy...

I guess that was all I was good for..

Viola I can't tell you how nice and peaceful my life has been since hubby passed away.I loved him so much but the daily JW talk (condemning everyone that wasn't one of them!) was starting to affect me emotionally..especially when his Mom was around (also a JW).

I just feel so bad for those that are going through it..I know how it hurts.

I feel so sad for family member that are going throught this and unable to be with their loved ones because of some idiot religion that seems to appeal to some ..it must fulfill some need in their life. Either that are they are too afraid to leave for fear of isolation from their loved ones or death by their so called "loving" god.

Why do we even bother. It seemed like I was butting my head against the wall with my hubby and his mom. Ask a question and they look at you and either say "I don't know " and change the subject or tell you they have faith..(Blind faith).

It's frustrating I know..just wanted to let those know that my heart goes out to them and hope someday their loved ones will come around and find the strength to leave the controlling organization. I refuse to ever refer to it as "The Truth" or even a religion really..
