  'Theocratic Careers' and the Covid Pandemic

  by eyeslice in

  the watchtower has always banged on about not pursuing worldly careers and that best career was 'theocratic service.

  but now i am wondering what line they will take.

  let's have look at the options;.

  DPA Blood ASAP

  by manicmama in

  i am in need of the current copy of the newest dpa blood card as some of the jw's in my mothers congregation are asking about if she signed the latest copy after she passed today.

  i am curious as to why they are asking about this specifically and not offering condolences on the loss of my mother.

  there has been some shady interactions leading to my mother requesting me to talk to certain elders to request that certain people not interact with her further.

  I understand your concern ,what is their motive ?

  i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.

  is it genetic?

  is it lifestyle.

  has anyone on here downloaded the app " jw scheduler"?.

  in perusing this site i see info re if publishers are going back to the halls after the covid is "in control".

  some comments are that numbers are dropping - not here... more connected than were actually going to the halls.

  She has had good training from WT leaders who live a comfortable life without having to lift a finger in an honest days work . 2Th.3:10

  Everything they live and do in WT service is paid for by contributions /gifts / deceased estates etc,etc by Jehovah`s Witnesses and friends.

  How long did it take before you realized that you missed the obvious?

  by pistolpete in

  remember when the public speaker in the kingdom hall or convention related the ten plagues and the parting of the red sea?.

  the finale when jehovah closes the red sea and swallows pharaoh's entire army of egyptian men.. when i was a little kid about 5 years old and listened to this story, i would think---wow jehovah is strong.

  when i started school and started learning compassion as early as the first grade i started wondering?????.

  Regarding the Genesis account: Ch. 3:21 "Jehovah God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and to clothe them"

  So Jehovah God must have slaughtered some animal`s to do this ? So much for paradise ,and apparently Jehovah married them ,adam and Eve.

  And whats with posting Cherubs at the East of the Garden of Eden with a flaming blade of a sword ? turning itself continually ? to guard the way to the tree of life ?

  What was wrong with going around to the North ,South ,or West of the garden and just walk in ? Was their a fence or wall around the rest of the garden?

  Or only one way in ?

  When you stop and think about it .

  I watched it Vander and thought it was pretty good for a newly interested person to make them stop and think, and have second thoughts about it.

  Thanks for sharing.
