  by vivalavida in

  i guess you can be physically out, like in a huge way, but definitely mentally in.. serena williams claims she won't be celebrating her daughter's first birthday.. i did know people like that, raised as a jw but never actually baptizing.

  that didn't mean they were not messed up in the head though..

  May be WT came up with a new light that children could be borne without wedlock but celebrating birthdays is still demonic ?

  Another Christian woman kept a handbag given her by an aunt who was a fortune-teller. Using the handbag in the ministry, she experienced powerful thoughts of "Go home!"

  Before I action on my previous comment, I am secretly planning to buy a handbag from a Fortune teller and give it to my still in JW wife and see the consequences.

  We need to make sure of all things, you know, as the Bible says.

  Ahh, I had this same feeling all the time in the FS. I always wanted to quit , go home and relax. I thought I was too lazy or not very spiritual. Now I realize that I had Purchased a suite from a GoodWill (I think thats a christian Charity store. Hence 100% demonic) store, which I used to wear for FS.
  

  May be I should buy a brand new suit from any "Demon Free" store, get baptized as a JW again and try FS.

  Comparing God with Abraham dishonors God

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  abraham was tested by god (genesis 22:1) to know whether he would abandon his attachment towards his son.. attachment is a sign of ego, the fountain head of all vices.

  when you ignore all the factors and forces (known and unknown) that are at work behind every happening, you tend to say “i did this and that”thus taking credit for which your part is too negligible.

  it is like a farmer taking credit for the agricultural products.

  Comparing one imagination with another can never dishonour either of the imaginations.

  Believing in either/both of these, dishonors our common sense.

  Do Any JW's Still Use/Trust the Reasoning Book?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  under the heading last days, the introduction promises this:.

  "the present wicked system of things, which extends worldwide, entered its last days in 1914, and some of the generation alive then will also be on hand to witness its complete end in the “great tribulation.”.

  will the "slave" explain to their followers that such an invaluable "witnessing tool" is no longer to be used, or will they just revise it electronically to reflect "current truth?

  When I was new in the cult, I was so proud of this reasoning book as a Roman soldier would have been with his new honed sword.

  Time makes everything funny.

  Exodus 35:2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.

  I found a whole lot of people not observing the Sabbath last weekend.

  If they want to lock the doors of KH during meetings for security reasons, then what the heck are those legions of angels doing ?

  Trump's concubines -- so what? Jehovah loved Solomon and he had 10,000

  Please don’t defame King Solomon. He only had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Good enough for a person to write the Bible.

  Even if he spends a day with one of these women - being an equal opportunity hubby - it would take 2.7 years for Solomon to come back to the same women again. Am I wrong in my Holy Math ? Not guided with Holy Spirit hence pardon me if I am wrong.

  The people who decided the Scriptures

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many people over many centuries have been involved in deciding which documents were scripture.

  there has never been unanimous agreement, including today.

  only the church of rome took a vote on the canon.

  God interferes with the people in middle east (Why always Middle east. What’s so special there ?)

  An then God Inspires his people - most of them anonymous- to write a collection of books, in very crude parchments and none of the originals exist today.

  Centuries later the Roman aristocrats decide on which books to include and what to exclude, in what we call the Bible today.

  For another 1500 years the Bible was circulated through handwritten copies, until the printing press came.

  Then the Bible was further diversified into various versions, each version being claimed as the accurate ones, by their adherents.

  And today, people have a responsibility of identifying the very true version and follow that to attain eternal life.

  I don’t think the Biblical God is doing a good job here.
