god would not say: “you should not eat from the tree of good and bad, which would make you like me” because through jesus he said: ‘you must become like me by imitating the qualities of sun whose only concern is giving (of light and warmth) which means having no expectation of anything from anybody’ (mathew 5:44-48) .

this also means we should have no human teachers because we can have answer to any questions by ourselves, through inference.

(pro 25:2) how to go about inferring?

taking a walk down memory lane at those looooonnnnngg, tedious conventions... .

(boy, they weren’t kidding when they spoke about being long-suffering and having endurance!).

but what were some of your convention highlights, or lowlights, from back in the day?.

Sometimes thrilled by the End of days assurance from the speaker. Never took notes except a few times.

Afternoons were boring and drowsy where I would walk outside the arena and sit alone somewhere, half sleeping. Wife would be upset on this.

What a waste of time.

The grim reality of a starving child, vs the people who profess to have been blessed by God. However the added words on the child is not so comfortable

deegee - Good Points. I would save them

A plant grows on an abandoned building. The building was not designed for plants to grow, but plants grow there due to favorable conditions.

Like wise, life arose on earth due to favorable conditions.

John's Two Witnesses...Who Are/Were They?

by Cold Steel in

do the scripture writers at hq allow for any scriptural exegesis that recognizes the state of israel as fulfillment of ancient prophecy?

isaiah, for example, writes: .

and it shall come to pass in that day, that the lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from assyria, and from egypt, and from pathros, and from cush, and from elam, and from shinar, and from hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

CS - I haven't read all of your posts but on the outset I feel you belong to some sect of Christianity. Had you been a JW before ? How come you are still so zealous in your beliefs ? Just curious.

How To Fade Away Cleanly?

by SplaneThisToMe in

jw
friends

this is my first post and hopefully i can get some advice and input.

i have been actively involved with the organization for a little over 10 years now.

i began studying in high school, got baptized and my family fortunately did not.

EverApostate

I think your family or loved ones are not in. Whom you mention as JW friends are not friends at all. They are merely associates of WT, who would dump you mercilessly if you leave. My Experience.

Then why bother ? Dash out and experience the freedom and joy of living without superstitions

Casting Out DEMONS

by Cold Steel in

if someone believes they're being plagued with demons or they have problems with hauntings, things moving by themselves or hearing voices or footsteps, who they gonna call?

i know they take demons very seriously, so who in the congregation do they go to when they need to bring out the big guns?

do they try to handle it themselves or is this a job for the elders?

EverApostate

If someone can tell me the address of that Haunted home in the VDO above, I could bargain it for a dirt cheap price.

I bet they wont sell, because this is the groundwork for another book and a Horror movie
