i actually had a neighbor ask me that the other day (she knows i'm an "ex" jw) and i didn't really know the answer.
i know there's a bit of cart witnessing going on (small town) and a lot of driving around to return visits.. but are they actually doing territory, not-at-homes, all of that?
the neighbor said that eight years ago, when she bought her house, the jws were by "all the time".
If the D2D Territory witnessing is down, it seems the Good news has been preached all over the World and the end is near, any time soon.
Repent folks and return to Jehovah,
(Ehhh...Umm.... Pardon Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Singapore and all those banned countries and pretend as if they don't exist)
some doubt about the bible completely, some partially.
what if the bible turns out to be a product of humans, nothing divine.
would you still believe in a creator?.
Why Equate Bible to GOD as if the Bible is a perfectly divine book ?
Even if there is a God, he/she/it hasn't revealed itself to Earthly humans so far.
we were taught sickness and death is a result of the sin inherited from adam and eve, so why do animals get cancer?
they are supposedly still as big j intended, so therefore cancer is a creation by the big fella himself?.
just an exercise for one's who believe in the whole bible story thing.. (not me)... any others anomalies you can think of ?
Seems the animal's Ancestors also sinned and inherited imperfection.
Of course the Bible never mentions about this but we can get an answer in the new world. Just hang in there.
picture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.
there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.
it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.
Seems Jahs Chariot is on a race with those speeding cars.
my belief in prayer was once bolstered by my strong attachment to what i had read in aid to bible understanding.
my having a part in its initial prep in the factory and, later, a detailed proofing of thousands of references to it made this bible dictionary an influence in my former life.
please note this extract on jehovah's seeming delay in the answering of prayer.
When I was a DUB and whenever I came across a soul that is suffering, a quick flash would hit my mind. Why does Jah permit this and remain silent? Why can’t he alleviate this suffering?
Very soon the usual Celtic thinking kicks in. "Jah permits suffering to prove his Universal Sovereignty" What a crap of a belief.
i read the talk outline #49 for this summer's regional convention entitled "future events that will require courage-the destruction of babylon the great.".
the jdubs live in a comic book world.
babylon the great is all false religious organizations and she is destroyed by those she seeks to control.
So the United Nations would be banning all the religions including Islam. And you mean Saudi Arabia and all Muslim countries would remain silent.
What a fantastic illusion !!
just joking i really don't think so...but the situation in syria is pretty worrisome...just hearing the news that france and great britain are attacking with cruise missiles in 72 hours.
i mean assad is not gonna gasify his adversaries when he almost won the civil war.
trump too suspended a very important trip to the latinoamerican presidents summit in peru, just to 'oversee the american response to syria.
Wars had always been fought since mankind formed its own countries and borders. Wars fought during our lifetime creates more impact on us as we really see/hear/Read about them.
Even if the Syrian war escalates into a global one, that has nothing to do with the Bible.
But (Some) Christians would always find ways to tie up the situation with any verses from their Holy book. Its all about creating panic and Pulling people into religion.
a witness can’t celebrate and give gifts on a birthday except on the day they are born.
giving a baby shower is ok as well as gift giving—- but only once!
soooo dumb!.
All CULTS have Bizarre beliefs and Practices. "No Birthday" is one among those many beliefs for the JW cult.
what do you think the crazies or strangest book they ever printed is?.
Every book of WT gets stranger and crazier as time passes by.
A Book they publish today would be silly for JWs themselves in another 10 years
Truth is what is told Today, according to WT
genesis 6: 9-139 this is the account of noah and his family.noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with god.
10 noah had three sons: shem, ham and japheth.11 now the earth was corrupt in god’s sight and was full of violence.12 god saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
13 so god said to noah, “i am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them.
Noah's Flood: Flooding the House to Kill the Bugs.
Even a 5 year old would know better on how to eliminate bugs.
