The government of the New System is already in place

by truthseeker in

jw

are you still waiting for god's government to begin ruling?

are you still hoping that divine rulership is nearly here?

do you long for the time when jehovah will 'set matters staright among the nations'?.

The government of the New System is already in place

After taking control, the first thing that would happen when you sign on to your computer is a message burned into the screen:

YOU WON'T BE NEEDING THIS ANYMORE

What would Jesus teach us today?

by petespal2002 in

i'm wondering, if jesus was on earth today, what would he be teaching, and would we believe it , or would we set up a website to discuss his thoughts?

RubaDub

I would buy the brand of sandals that he would endorse. We never read about him complaining about his feet

being trapped in jw land is a bit like a bad marriage.. when you first get married(baptized) everything is good and happy, the rose coloured glasses effect.. then later on, maybe years down the line, things change or are revealed that alter the contentment of the situation, but by then there is more commitment due maybe to children or shared friends and pastimes so it is difficult if not impossible to extract oneself from it.. to do so risks losing any normal contact with your children, grandchildren and those you thought were your friends.. so many choose to stay in a loveless/violent or broken down marriage (the borg) because the alternative is too awful to cope with.. what other loving religious group controls its members like this and then has the audacity to preach to everyone across the globe that theirs is the true way chosen by god.. anglise

The Mormons are right up there in the running.

Hypocrisy of the First Order by JWs

by AlanF in

jehovah's witnesses are known for their hypocrisy and double standards when it comes to how they treat others and how they want to be treated by others.

as to why heinze and paul were kicked off.. .

in the best interest of the club to remove paul and heinz from our .

Minimus,

My question is ,"WHY do JW's get on these boards when they KNOW it's against the rules?"

We have to take a breath on this one.

In the past prior to the internet, there was no easy forum to discuss issues within the organization that truly troubled a person.

If you questioned anything, you would be labeled "weak" (or worse) and many would eventually blame themselves for having doubts.

Now, even many of us still in the borg realize that questions we have about the borg are valid and individually, we are not just isolated exceptions. We come here and realize that WE are not nuts.

I can tell you, there are THOUSANDS viewing these boards. Let's face it, one of the first things a JW does in a search engine it to start looking at what is on the web about the Witnesses. Don't let anyone believe otherwise.

rwagoner ---> Very wild depending on what part of the year you go

Friends of ours visited Hedonism II last year and said it really is a crazy place. I'm just curious about your comment on "what part of the year" It's certainly is too expensive to be a college spring break type of place, so what difference did you notice in the time of year ?

WITNESS NUMBERS HAVE TO BE GOING DOWN.

by integ in

my mother attended the special one day assembly program saturday, and told me that there were 5 people getting baptized.

now i would think that at least 10 times that amount have either left the org.

during that time, or been disfellowshipped from the congregations in the circuit.

RubaDub

due to the stance on alternative intercourse (oral, anal, mutual masturbation).

I didn't ever recall the Society taking a stance on mutual mastrubation. Did I miss something ?

To be happy, just identify everything that makes you unhappy and eliminate those from your life, one by one.

Devon ...... CUT THE GUY A BREAK !!!

If you went through the mental trauma of being thrown into a lion's den and getting the shit scared out of you, maybe you'd be a bit more sympathetic to him.
