  The last job I had required that I be a union member that I held for 28 years .

  Whenever a vote was required at any of our meetings I always abstained much to the annoyance of my comrades.

  The penny never seemed to drop when a vote was ever required at a KH though ?

  Why does the name of the BSA motor Cycle remind you of the GB members of Jehovah`s Witnesses ?

  Does Bull Shit Artists come to mind ?

  Overweight Jehovah’s Witnesses

  what was your kingdom hall like when it came to overweight witnesses?

  i remember counseling some people on their drinking habits.

  a few snickered that if we were going to counsel them because they have had way too many at a wedding reception, what about very overweight witnesses that have a lifestyle of overindulgence?

  Jeeeeezz minimus you would have been DF from the last congregation I was in , we all liked to drink . The Elders and MS as I was loved having get togethers and going out to restuarants especially after a Sunday meeting.

  We consumed a lot of alcohol but I never saw anyone visibly drunk .A few of us regularly drank at hotels also .

  What I mean by that is a couple of drinks on any given day and the rest at home or at a friends place.

  A conversation that could have occurred between Jesus and a crowd he taught

  jesus: "so that is why you all get sick and die, because adam and eve grabbed an apple from the tree that god told them not to.".

  a man from the crowd: "but why are we punished for something we didn't do, we don't even know that man and woman, that was thousands of years ago!".

  jesus: "my father exercises perfect justice, believe me when i tell you when i say you got what was coming to you.

  According to the GB of JW`s Jesus should never have gone with Satan up the Mountain for 40 days and nights ?

  What were they doing up there all that time ? Satan is an apostate and Jesus should be brought before a judicial committee .

  For that matter Jehovah God should be rebuked for allowing Satan to come and go as he pleased before his throne for thousands of years before kicking him out of Heaven.

  And lastly their are millions if not billions of Galaxy`s and planets throughout the Universe where he could have sent Satan ,why send him down to earth to cause more harm ?

  God`s got to answer some serious questions here.

  sorry if i shouldn't be posting this, i am not jw however i have had past experiences with jw's and was learning a lot about the religion, in hopes to convert one day.

  it all ended suddenly and i guess i feel guilty for not learning more, i would get scared at the thought of bible studies and discussions in case it brought back memories.

  i was looking for any advice on the best ways i can find out more please.

  Jesus, without sin and a perfect human being ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  how could he be, regardless of how god impregnated mary, as she was a sinful human just like the rest of us according to the bible.. mary was subjected to the adamic sin like all other humans, so jesus had to at least be part sinner himself.. to believe otherwise is just deluding oneself imho .. the only way jesus could have been really without sin is if god created him the same way he created adam.. what do you think ?

  What about Jesus rubbing shoulders so to speak with Satan ? having associated with him on a few occasions and allowing Satan to tempt him ?

  Associating with an apostate.?

  If he did that in a congregation he would be brought up before the Elders and DF.
